Chapter One: The Memory
Kira&Lacus
Everything was blurry. What was that? Where am I? Thought Lacus. She heard voices. They sounded familliar. But where had she heard them before? Oh yeah, she remembered now! She had been travelling back to Orb.. Someone had said... oh, what did they say? All of a sudden she remembered something...
Lacus! Get away from there! We're under attack and it's going to explode!
Who had said it? What happened to them? Then she saw it all. There were 3 Gundams blocking them. They had fired something... Someone had shouted a warning at her... a boy with brown hair... he'd told her to move but she hadn't been able to so he pushed her out of the way...
"She was sitting upright, eyes wide open and she was screaming the name of the boy. "KIRA!"
Three men were sitting by the fire. They looked over at her and two of them laughed. A tall slim man stood up. He had handsome features and silky blonde hair. This man hadn't been laughing. He started talking with an English accent. "Oh, you mean him?" he asked pointing to Kira, "Don't worry, you'r boyfriend is fine but you-"
"He's not my boyfriend," she said, "he's my... escort." This was a lie. Kira and Lacus had been going out for a few months but she didn't want these men to know. When she looked at them, one word came to mind. Captors.
"Of course.." he said, unconvinced. "But, like I was saying... you suffered a mild concussion so I suggest you lay down." At his words, one of the men pushed her down and put something in her mouth. "Ge' some rest," he had said with a sneer.
Lacus became drowsy and quickly fell asleep. Her dream was more like a nightmare. Reds and oranges flew around along with chinks of metal. It was the exploding concole. Kira had been hit by one and his body had fallen to the ground. He was covered in burns and cuts. She started crying and said his name between sobs. "It's all my fault," she had told herself, "Kira, please be okay, don't die." She kept saying this over and over until two large men came in. They each lifted one of the people on the floor and carried them out. After this she remembered no more.
She woke up in a cold sweat and looked around. There was Kira sitting with the three captors around him. They were talking as if he weren't there.
"The master wi' be qui'e please' wif us!" said one of the ugly Brittish brutes.
"Ye, Qui'e pleased wif us indee', we be gettin' a good pay wif this lot!" said the other.
"Yes, but only if we deliver them on time," said the English man, a look of disgust on his face. "And make sure not to harm them." he said looking from one man to the other.
"Ah! Look who i' is!" said the first man. He gave an almost toothless grin (and the teeth that were there were yellow and black). "The girl is up!"
Kira looked up from the stick he had been fumbling with for quite some time now. "LACUS!" he cried.
"KIRA!" she said happily. Then she remembered the little story she had told the men. "I'm so pleased my esscort is ok!"
Kira looked hurt and almost turned away but not before Lacus shot him a: Go-Along-With-It look followed by an: I'll-Explain-Later kind of head nod.
"I am equilly glad you are unharmed he said smiling slightly. "Excuse me, we have some business to discuss..." he said to the men.
"No' wifout Don 'ere." said the biggest man.
"Me? Wot did I eve' do? I'm too tired, sorry mate."
"Fine lad, go on, but we'll be watchin' you two!" Before letting them go, Kira and Lacus's legs were tied together so they couldn't run away.
Chapter Two: The Plan
Kira&Lacus
The two walked along, Kira with a confused look on his face but he knew the three men would still be able to hear him from here, so he kept his mouth shut.
After a few paces he spoke up. "What was that escort junk for!" he asked.
"That's what I told them earlier," she replied, "I had to keep the same story!"
"I see... I'm just glad you're okay." he said.
Lacus smiled and gave him a hug but then put on a more serious face. "We need to come up with a plan.. we have to escape and warn Orb! And fast! From what I've gathered, these are the guys who have been following me, you know, to bring me back to Plant... or kill me. Plant is doing anything to end my resistance..."
"Well... how can we get out of here with these binds on our legs?"
"They confiscated your knife... didn't they?"
Kira nodded, but then a playful smile appeared on his face.
"What is it?" asked Lacus.
"We don't have a knife... but I can get one. Here's the plan..."
