A/N: Hey guys, this is a story I started a good couple years ago but I've renewed my love for the HxR pairing so I've picked up writing this again with intentions to complete it. Hope you enjoy & please read and review!
Relena struggled against the rough hands which grasped her arms and dragged her on the ground, gravel and sand clung to her clothes. Looking at her surroundings she guessed she was in a forest of some sort. How she arrived there she did not know. The gag around her mouth muffled her screams and she threw up her legs hoping to at least injure her captor. A sharp sting against her cheeks quieted her movements and she clenched her eyes against the pain.
"Quit yer thrashin'," a hot breath whispered against her ear. "No one comin' for you. They're all dead and you woulda been too if you wasn't gonna bring in a pretty price at the market."
Relena's dark blue eyes widened as she commenced her struggling, Thunder struck the sky and the rain began to drizzle lightly then turned itself into a complete downpour. Exhausted from her efforts, she allowed herself to be dragged on the now sodden ground. She turned her eyes upward and looked at the trees passing her by slowly with tears forming in her eyes yet she did not cry.
She would not show this man she was weak.
Relena closed her eyes and struggled to remember. All that was brought into her mind were images of fire, explosions, people running and the last image of her mother screaming at her to run before the flames consumed her form. She remembered the feel of large, warm hands clutching hers and long platinum blonde hair in front of her as she remembered running. Running to where? And why? She recalled falling and hearing a voice call her name and then silence. And then she awoke to find herself being roughly handled and dragged on the ground. She wanted to know where the brute was taking her, who he was and what the hell happened. But knew better than to expect answers. She was helpless and this angered her but she wouldn't cry.
She refused.
Relena kept her eyes closed and planned to wait for an opening where she would be able to escape. Her golden blonde hair clung to her face but she made no effort to remove the soaked strands, her remaining strength gone. The feel of rain splashing on her face and clothes calmed her somewhat and she felt herself drift to sleep, a deep, sound sleep where the forgotten cries of her mother faded into the dark recesses of her mind.
