Running from Silence
Standard disclaimer applies. I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters in any way. If I did, wouldn't I be rich?
Gunshots rang throughout the compound. Screams and cries echoed into the night, as the entire place was engulfed in flames. Heero ran. As fast as his stealthy legs would carry him. Far enough, he collapsed, spent and confused. How did this mission fail? I was supposed to go in, get the disk, walk out and pretend as though nothing happened.' For the first time in his life, he felt disgrace. Crouching in the damp grass, he felt the smoke being exhaled from his lungs.
It was horrible. The security systems malfunctioned, tearing the entire complex to shreds, aiming their computer-run guns at the workers, shooting their high-tech missiles at the parking lot. One blast led to another, destroying everything in sight. The domino-effect killed so many innocent people. It was all his fault. He
had been the cause. Upon entering the building, he fiddled around with the security system, fooling itself so that the cameras wouldn't detect, much less record the theft of the disk. He didn't know it would result this way. Getting up, he ran to the only place he knew- the Peacecraft mansion. One girl could comfort him, soothe his soul. He needed Relena more than ever.
Running, he felt slight rain fall in his face. The skies darkened and he ran
faster until he reached the gates. Swinging himself over the high fence, he ran towards the north wing of the mansion where her room was. He saw a dim light shining and scaled her trellis. Landing on her ledge lightly, he noticed she was crying. Pain tore through his heart as his confused mind wondered whether he should enter and comfort her. Deciding on the latter, he pushed the knob down so it broke with a soft creak.
She sensed him. Looking up, there he was. Standing in her doorway, damp
from the rain. Getting up, she threw her arms around him, crying more. Sobs racked
her small body and his arms came to encircle her waist. Murmuring soothing words,
they made their way to her loveseat.
"Heero, I thought you weren't going to come back. I heard what happened at the building. All those people, dead. I thought you were one of them," she
confessed. Heero frowned. "Relena, I told you I would always come back to you. I don't make promises and break them," he told her sternly. Smiling sheepishly, she hugged him tighter and together they reveled in solace. Pain from both of them vanished, as the dying rains ceased. The dark night sky shone, full of stars and the bright full moon. Sleep overcame them as they decided to get some rest. Night soon faded as a golden curtain of light lit the earth in orange and yellow.
Hope you liked the prologue. If you're like me, one who loves HxR fics, then I really hope you'll like this story. I'll try to get the other chapters posted ASAP. I'm actually writing this fic in school. Graphics class is pretty dull. Just keep that to yourself, I wouldn't want my teacher to find me goofing off instead of doing work!
Read and review please! Thanks, and have a great day.
