Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, cause if I did, Relena and Heero would've kissed already. LOL. This story is OCC on Relena's part and is somewhat of an Alternate Universe for her past and who she really is. I got this idea from other animes and Relena's title of being the "Angel of Peace". So I thought, what if she actually was?? I hope you like it. Also, if you review my story, don't give me any flames. Thank you!! I love you all!!
"The Power Within" By, Miss Ruby
Flames. Alot of...flames. Destruction. Saddness. Screams. Everywhere I turn, there it is, in this place. Where am I?? Is this a dream?? Buildings falling apart, people running past me, yelling about some devil, some demon. People pointing at me, screaming that I'm a demon's child, the daughter of Satan. What are they speaking of?? Why are they saying such things?? A light behind me, so vast and bright, blinding me, making me cover my face. "Relena." Who's there?? " Relena it's time for you to awaken." Awaken?? What are you talking about?? I uncover my face and see nothing but darkness and...myself. A mirror image. A image of me, older, more mature, covered in white. Who...who are you?? Why do you look like me?? "I am.."
"Relena!!" Duo exclaimed, waking me up from my dream, scaring me to death I might add you, to the point of sitting up and slapping him before I could see who it was clearly, making poor Duo fall off the side of my bed, onto the floor, leaving him a wonderfully covered, red imprint of my hand on his face.
"Duo!", before I knew it, my temper was rising. Everyone knows that I hate it when I get woken up like that, it really startles me! " How many times do I have to tell you?? I hate it when you do that! After all of my kidnappings and death threats we've been through, you know I get startled easy!"
Duo sits up, holding the side of his face. "Ow! You're hands are as dangerous as Heero's! I shouldn't have let him give you those self-defense lessons."
At his name, Heero walks into the room, leaning his body on the door frame with his arms crossed. "Well Maxwell, if I didn't then I wouldn't have seen you getting bitch slapped." He says with a smirk on his face.
"Oh shut up Mr. Perfect!!" Duo snaps when he turned his head in Heero's direction. "You could've been the one who got hit instead of me!"
"I doubt it."
Duo glares at Heero, then turns his head back to me. "Anyway Princess, I'm sorry, but if I didn't then you would be late for your meeting."
I blink a few times, turn my head to the clock, seeing that I have 30 minutes before my meeting at noon. "Oh my god!!" I jump out of bed, throwing my sheets to the side, and run to my closet. "I can't believe this, I almost slept til noon! This isn't like me!"
" Hey Princess, nice underwear."
"What?" I look down at myself, now realizing that I'm wearing only a pair of white underwear and a tank top. My cheeks start to burn, knowing that Heero's in the room makes them burn more. I then feel something soft go on my shoulders, I turn and see Heero covering me with a robe, muttering something about Duo being a pervert.
"Relena, go ahead and finish getting ready. We'll tell the butler to make breakfest to go." He says calmly as he grabs Duo by his braid, dragging him out of the room, shutting the door. Well that was embarressing!! But I wonder what that dream was about. I think to myself as I grab one of my shirts from the hanger.
Today I'm going to wear my white suit. Coming with a baby blue, button down shirt, a white skirt that goes above my knees, a white jacket with some blue designs on the sleeves, and with, of course, white heels. I look at myself in the mirror as I brush my hair, putting my hair behind my ears, before I put my perfume on.
Doing another look at myself, to see if I look presentable or not, I nod my head in approval and then grab my suit case and walk out of my room, looking up, I see the girl in my dreams right in front of me. I gasp and drop my suitcase, seeing the girl disappear in front of me before my suitcase hit the floor. I wipe my eyes and look back again, still nothing was there. Am I seeing things?? I shake my head as I grab my suitcase. That dream is making my imagination run wild. I really need to stop watching horror films late at night with Duo. But still, who is she??
"Princess! Traffic at this time is a bitch! Are you almost done??" Duo exclaims from downstairs, then hearing him get whacked by Heero for making a rude comment. I giggle to myself and say that I'm coming. Who would have thought that it's been 2 years since the Marimaya incident. I can't believe it went by so fast. It's like we're one big family now. I start smiling to myself as I walk down the stairs to the kitchen, seeing that Heero and Duo have already changed into their Preventer uniform.
"The car is ready for us Relena", he says as he hangs me a paper bag."You're toast is in here and here's your coffee", handing me the cup of coffee.
"Thank you Heero" I say smiling. I love it when he does this for me! It's so sweet. Huh, who would thought Heero as sweet.
He nods and opens the door for me I walk out and look at the limo, and see the girl staring at me from the window of the vehicle. I gasp outloud and drop everything, starting to feel this horrible pain in my head. I hold my head, closing my eyes, feeling Heero's arms around me, holding me before I fell down. This pain, it's so intense! It's like my skull is on fire!!
"Relena! What's wrong?!" Heero grabs shoulders, trying to make me look at him. I look into his eyes, his deep blue eyes. The color of the sea, and then I feel the burning start to cease, like water is being thrown over it. I look back to the car, and to no suprise, the girl is gone. Who is she?! Why does she look like me?? What was that pain??
"Princess, what happend??"
"I..I don't know. I felt like my head was splitting for a second", I look back at them, seeing the worry and the alert in their eyes. "I'm sorry I worried you, guess it's just a bad headache." I say smiling trying to reassure them that I'm alright. Like I was going to tell him I saw a ghost or whatever of me in the car. Please! They'd think I was crazy. I don't know about Duo, but I know Heero would. To him, there is no such thing as the supernatural.
"Alright, but don't scares us like that! You'll give soldier boy and me a heart attack!" Duo says putting a hand over his chest. Heero helps me up and then looks over me to see if I was alright. He nods after the inspection and helps me into the car, the one place I so want to be. As soon as I was in safe and sound, they got in and then we were off to the meeting.
Several hours later, I was done with my speech on the podium and was now being asked questions by the press. Heero is on my right side in the back and Duo was on the left, watching everyone like a hawk.
"Ms. Peacecraft, do you believe that peace will last??", asked one of the gentlemen in the front row.
"I believe that peace shall last as long as the people can still agree with one another, but as we know, nothing lasts forever, but I do hope and wish that another war will not happen until many years later."
"Ms. Peacecraft, do you claim that weapons are the cause for war??"
" No, I don't. I believe that weapons are an accessory to war, but it's not the main reason. Weapons cannot turn themselves on and start killing. No, it's has to take someone to pull a trigger to start a war."
I look at the crowd, waiting and answering all their questions, another hour passes and I thank the crowd for their time. When I turn around, I hear the girl's voice in my head. Relena! Turn around! What?! Someone is trying to kill you!
" Relena, look out!!" Heero exclaims, as I turn around the same time as the sound of the bullet rings my ears and before I knew it, my hand caught the bullet a few inches from my face.
What?? Did I just do what I think I did?? How could I?? When did I get this speed??
More sounds of bullets came from the balcony across the room, heading in my dirction. My head hurts! The fire is back. With one hand I hold my head and the other as a guard in front of me. I hear Heero running to me, I feel something is about to come out! This feeling, this...power! With a scream, I let out this feeling, knocking Heero to the ground, making the bullets go the opposite direction, hitting the man shooting me in the chest, knocking him into the wall. I wrap my arms around myself as I fall to the ground. The last thing I see is Heero running to me and seeing his face get blurry as he gets closer. The last thing I remember is Heero yelling my name and then everything is black.
