What the Future Holds

Chapter One

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi. This is the sequel to Torn between the past and present. And to fire and ice monkey, I'm sorry if I did make it clear but Heero and Relena were married in the last chapter of Torn between the past and present and had a three year old daughter named Hannah-Marie Elisabeth Yuy. I'm going to call her Hannah-Marie so no one confuses her with the other Hannah. I think that's all for now. I'm not going to give you guys a summary because that would ruin the first chapter. And I don't know German or French.

 Something moved beside him in the dark. He hated the dark. Things hid in the dark, dangerous things. And the darkness hid those who wanted him dead. And at least two people wanted him dead.

 He heard someone and relaxed for it was only Rebecca, his fiancée. They were in the bomb shelter of a compound he was using to care out his plan. A rather smart and dumb plan. No one knew the real reason why he wanted Heero and Amber Yuy's children but the Hannah-girl was still suspicious.

 "William?" Rebecca's voice broke his thoughts.

 "Yes, beloved?" William asked. 

 "I'm going to asked the cook to get me something to eat," Rebecca said.

 "Alright," William said. Something told him not to let her go, that something would happen. Something that would change everything. But it was to late for she had already gone up. Ten minutes later the bomb that ended everything went off.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 William Radcliff sat up in, the nightmare still in his mind. Rebecca had died in the explosion, along with everyone else who wasn't in the shelter.

 'I will kill you, Heero Yuy and Jake Cottingham.' He thought before one of his bested plans began to form.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It had been a year since Amber and Trowa had gotten married and they were expecting their first child. They lived in the Peacecraft mansion with Heero and Relena.

 Heero and Relena had been married for five years. They were expecting their second child.

 Reuben had turn twenty-one in the summer and was attending a collage in Germany.

 Sophie was attending a collage in France and was dating a man named Allen Coloss. He was from the L1 colony.

 Samantha was attending a collage in the Sank Kingdom. She and Sophie had turn twenty in the fall. Sammy lived at the  Peacecraft mansion.

 It was Christmas time and Reuben and Sophie were coming home for the break. So to say that the mansion was in  havoc, is to say an understatement. The maids were making cakes, cookies, candies and other treats. Pagan was busy giving instructions to the decorators . Relena, Amber, Sammy, Hannah, and Hannah-Marie were decorating the Christmas tree, while Heero and Trowa were Christmas shopping.

 Sean Williams died two years earlier in a car crash on New Year's Day. He was forty-five when it happened.

 Jake Cottingham and his wife, Janie lived in a small apartment in the Sank Kingdom. They too were expecting their first child.

 Everyone was getting on with their lives and living it to the fullest. Everyone that is except for William Radcliff.

 His pain for the loss of Rebecca was so great that he never recovered and he was planning a revenge that was to be the most terrible for Heero Yuy.

 "Mommy, when's Daddy and Uncle Trowa gettin' home?" Hannah-Marie asked.

 "Soon Hannah, soon," Relena said as she hung an ornament on the tree.

 "But that what you said five minutes ago," Hannah-Marie said.

 "And when did you learn to tell time?" Relena asked, looking down at her daughter.

 "Sammy told me so," Hannah-Marie said.

 "Did she now? Well Daddy and Uncle Trowa will get here as soon as they can," Relena said.

 "Okay," Hannah-Marie said and walked over to Hannah.

 "Mom, how many more ornaments are there?" Sammy asked. She too was hanging up ornaments.

 "Bout five," Amber said. She sat in the mist of boxes and bags.

 "Yes. I can't believe it took us an hour to do this," Sammy said.

 "I know," Relena said.

 "We are home," Heero's voice called.

 "Finally. Hannah been askin' about you two five minutes after you and beyond," Sammy said.

 "Has she now?" Heero said as he and Trowa stepped into the room. Hannah-Marie ran into Heero's arms and he picked her up.

 "So what was so important  that you had to tell me?" Heero asked.

 "Nothin'" Hannah-Marie said.

 "And you bugged your mom for nothing?" Heero asked.

 "I guess," Hannah-Marie said.

 "Please tell me I was never like that," Sammy said.

 "You weren't. You were worst," Heero said sitting down next to Hannah. Trowa was sitting next to Amber. They all talked of the season and soon were watching 'Thumbelina', thanks to Hannah-Marie's doing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 "Allen, it won't kill you to help me pack," Sophie said. She and Allen were at her apartment in France. Allen was the only person she knew in France that spoke English. He was tall with blond hair and brown eyes.

 "Really?" Allen asked. Sophie laughed and said, "Come on , you idiot."

 "If I must," Allen said, dramatically. Sophie rolled her eyes. They walked into her apartment and began packaging Christmas presents.

 "What's in this?" Allen asked. He was holding a small box. It was jewelry size and wrapped in blue wrapping paper.

 "Who's it to?" Sophie asked, putting presents in boxes and not looking at Allen. Allen read the name tag and said, "It said it's to you."

 "What?" Sophie said, looking up. Allen handed her the present. Sophie opened it and a piece of paper was in side. Sophie read it out loud.

 " 'Enjoy this Christmas for this will be the last you spend with your fathers.' Oh my God," Sophie said.

 "Who would send something like this?" Allen asked. Sophie looked at him, tears in her eyes, and said, "I don't know."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 "Reuben, wait up!" a girl called in German. Reuben turned around to see a brown hair, brown eyed, twenty year old girl coming towards him.

 "Rose, what is it?" Reuben asked.

 "I wanted to give you your present before you left," Rose said. She handed him a small box with a card on the top.

 "Thanks, should I open it now or wait till Christmas?" Reuben asked.

 "Open it now," Rose said. Reuben opened the card. It said what all Christmas cards said and Rose's name. Reuben opened the present. It was a old book called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.  It was a book Reuben had wanted for along time and it was written in English.

 "Where did you find this?" Reuben asked, joy clearly written on his face. Rose smiled and said, "I found it on the internet."

 "Why did I think of that?" Reuben asked to himself. Rose laughed.

 "You really are a ditz, you know that?" she asked.

 "Do not remind me," Reuben begged. Rose laughed again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 "Jake, were are you going?" a girl asked. She had black hair and huge violet color eyes.

 "I'm going to get you a present since Christmas is only a week away, Janie," Jake said. He and Janie were in their apartment. Janie was making cookies and Jake was getting readily to leave.

 "Okay. Could you check the mail for me?" Janie asked.

 "Sure thing," Jake said. He walked over to her and kissed her. He walked out and went down to the lobby. He went to the mail box that belonged to him and Janie. He unlocked it and pulled out the mail. As he flipped though it, he saw one address to him with no return address. 'I wonder…' he thought and opened it. It read:

                                       This is the last Christmas you'll spend with your wife, so enjoy it.

 'Who in the world would send me this? And what about Janie?' Jake thought. He went out side and began to take a walk.

I hope you have enjoyed this chapter and I'm not going to have a lot of time to write because of school and all my friends who must call me everyday. That gets kind of annoying after while. Anyway, please review and thanks to those who review the last chapter of Torn between the past and present.

Ja ne,

Pinkmoon.
