The Escape from the Dark

***

After Colony 200

Relena Dorlian-Yuy gave birth to a beautiful girl named Juliette Fiona Yuy. Everyone in the world was amazed that Relena, former queen of the world, had finally given up her hopes to fight for freedom to become a mother. While that astonished others, lots of others were shocked that Heero wanted a baby.
"Damn, that Heero is a playa hater," Duo said as he plopped onto the sofa in his one bedroom apartment he shared with his new wife, Hilde. "I can't believe he, of all people, let Relena get pregnant. Heaven knows what those kids'll be like!"
"DUO!" Hilde scolded. "I saw Juliette in the newspaper and she is anything but awful!"
"For now."
"Duo. Watch your mouth. You never know if something like that could happen to us."
Hilde smirked at Duo, who quickly looked away after that remark. He knew that he wanted children, but was afraid to tell Hilde about it. He wanted, more than anything, to go back into space and fight for Mariemaia's troops. But, he still had a wrenching feeling inside his heart that he knew would correct him one of these days.
"Yeah, well, I hope it's not too soon. I'm stationed north of Holland for a month than back to Japan for two more months. You better not be pregnant when I get back, or I'm firing the mechanic!"
"You forgot about the mailman."
Duo fell silent. He didn't think what she was saying was funny at all. One of his best friends became pregnant by the mailman. And the worst part, she was 13.
"I'm just playing," Hilde commented as she walked over to give Duo a hug around the neck. "You don't need to be so uptight, Duo."
"Yeah, I know. But, I'm leaving tomorrow and I can't go see Heero and all them until I get back. Actually, I don't really care. It's not my baby."
"Duo, what's your problem lately? All I hear you say is negative things about all that God has given us and your friends!"
"God didn't give me anything good or decent that I can use."
"Oh, so now Mr. Catholic Boy is giving up on his faith so early? Why the hell do you leave me behind on all of this Duo?"
"Hilde, forget it. We'll forget this whole conversation. I just don't think it's important with me leaving soon."
"Fine, then, I will surely forget it. So, what do you want for dinner?"

The next day, Duo packed up all of his supplies and shoved them into a small suitcase. He grumbled at the fact that he had to leave, again, but worst of all is that this time, he and Hilde left a fight without discussing it at all.
"I love you," Duo said as he grabbed Hilde and gave her a kiss, right in front of the busy street. He looked back at their small apartment, then back at the junkyard they owned. His eyes quickly left them and focused again on none other than Hilde. "Please, be careful while I'm gone. Visit Relena whenever you feel like getting out of the house without spending my hard-earned money, ok?"
"Alright," Hilde giggled as she gave Duo one last kiss good-bye. "I love you, too. Be careful out there!"
"I will."
Duo walked away from Hilde, hating to see her shed those tears. But the tears were shed for Duo's safety and for something that Hilde didn't tell him. And wouldn't tell him until he got back and the evidence was clear that something had went wrong. But not mentally. Just physically.
Hilde waved at Duo as he waved back. He got into the cab and disappeared into the darkness of the colony.
"Oh, what to do now," Hilde thought out loud. "I could go visit Relena down on earth...Oh; I don't know what to do."
So, Hilde decided she would go shopping for groceries, since Duo had eaten almost everything in the refrigerator and all of the cabinets.
She locked up the house keys, pulled down her red shirt so it would cover the back of her blue jeans, and walked to her car.
The worst thing that could ever happened hit Hilde by surprise.
From behind the bushes nearest to her garage, a large man with a slight limp jumped out of the dark and knocked Hilde over. He held a knife to her throat and said, "If you wanna live, go to England. If you don't, stay here where your husband will never, ever now what happened to you."
Hilde was scared, so much that she couldn't even scream to get anyone's attention. She turned paler and paler as the man's knife came closer and closer to her skin. She fainted to get away from the brutal pain that would occur sooner or later. If only she had told Duo what was going to happen to her, maybe this wouldn't have been so awful. Maybe he would've stayed with her. But she would never know because of the path of hiding the truth she had taken.
