Blind Faith: Chapter 4
Blinded by tears Relena tore down the sidewalk not caring where she was
going. 'God how could I be so stupid? ' She finally slowed into a fast walk
hindered by her lungs screaming for air. Air that wouldn't come. She felt as
if her entire world had suddenly collapsed leaving her nothing. She had been
stripped of everything. Her heart, soul, will, almost her very existance. The
child of peace stumbled as her confidence faltered. The tight ache in her chest
only intensified. God her heart was bleeding.
A cold, wet drop splashed on Relena's nose. And she slowly raised her
face to the raging, stormy sky. The drops quickly increased into a steady
shower and Relena hugged her arms close desperately for a source of warmth.
The freezing rain was mercifulless and unforgiving. Ironically she welcomed
its bone chilling bliss. It seemed to numb her soul and help ease the pain.
Spotting a fountain the heart broken young woman cautiously approached
it. Like a lone traveler seeking wisdom she walked up to it's smooth, white,
marble edge. The rain had ceased, the sun fallen asleep, while the ivory moon
had awakened. Gazing at night's dark star struck cloak she gasped in awe and
tears sprang in her eyes. "So beautiful." She whispered. She returned her
attention to the calm waters of the foutain and peered at her gently moving
reflection. She could barely recognize herself anymore. There was such a
deadness about her. She tried to smile but only succeeded in freeing more tears.
In disappointment and distress she tore her hand through the water destroying
her reflection and then turned away.
Heero scanned the area for the desired figure. He had to find Relena and
he had to find her now. Deep down the Perfect Soldier knew that fate had
presented him with this one last chance. Breaking into a power driven run he
rounded the corner. He couldn't be too late? Could he? Relena had to know
how he truly felt or inevitably he would lose her. Lose her forever. A tear fell
at that thought. Pain ripped threw his heart and pulsed through his veins.
'God how could I have been so blind.' Finally he spotted her. Relena, the girl who
had always interupted his missions. The girl who haunted his nightly vissions.
The girl who he unwillingly pushed away from the start. The only girl who had ever
penetrated his heart. He stopped in midstep and marveled at the vission before
him. He watched Relena sit on the edge of the foutain and peer over the edge.
His breath caught as he admired her beauty. She truly looked like and angel, a
sight to behold. And to Heero she was. So vibrant with the moon illuminating
her heavenly form. "Relena!" He called. Gathering his courage he began across
the street towards her.
Heero never saw the car. The car that was flying towards him as he ran
blindly towards his love's open arms. Relena cried out and started screaming.
Her frantic words entered Heero's ears but he knew it was too late time was up.
Without even thinking Relena sprinted out onto the street as one final
thought raced through her mind. 'Heero...'
Heero saw Relena approaching, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks
and realization hit and it was too late to react. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Relena had reached him just in time. Slamming her body roughly into his
she shoved him forcefully out the way. Next she heard Heero cry out and then
she felt her body slamming into the hard metal of the front of the car and then
smashing furiously into the windshield that crushed and crunched her body
brutally. Pain seared through her as her body lost all control. She soared
into the air and collided solidly and severely with the ground. Strong arms
encircled her and forced her eyes open. It was a distraught and mournful Heero.
He was sobbing uncontrollably as he pulled the almost lifeless Relena to his
chest.
Relena's tears mixed with his as he held her to his trembling body. He
grieviously hugged her bleeding, bruised, and broken form. She was growing weak
put he held her tight in fear that his lifeless precious doll would disappear.
With tears raining down his face he gently leaned down to Relena's face and softly
brushed his lips against hers in a sweet loving kiss. She smiled peacefully as
her eyes fluttered closed. "I love you," She whispered as the impact of her
injuries pushed her into darkness.
Relena was rushed to the hospital and the doctors did everything they possibly
could for her. She was in critical but stable condition thanks to many hours of
surgery and intense treatment. She had slipped into a light coma, but the doctors
expected her to reawaken in a short amount of time. They said it was a miracle
she was even alive.
Heero had contacted everyone with a heavy heart and a soul chained in guilt.
Heero traced his hand over the glass gazing out into the raging sea in deep thought.
His hair tousled over his deep, stern, pain filled eyes. A tap on the shoulder
rushed him back to reality as he spun around. Relena's physician took a timid step
back giving the grieving young man some space. "Sorry if I startled or disturbed
you Mr. Yuy but I have some vital information on Ms. Darlian."
Heero immeditely raised his eyebrows in question and concern urging the older
man to continue.
"Relena is coming to so I was sure you would want to be there with her at her
side when she awakens."
Heero nodded and then added something that was almost foreign to him but when
it came to Relena he was grateful. "Thank you." As Heero turned in the direction of
Relena's room he felt a hand on stop him. Confused he pivoted on his heel and refaced
the doctor. The man smiled sadly and spoke in a melancholy tone. "Mr. Yuy there's
something different. I know this will be hard for everyone to deal with mostly she
will struggle but..." "What's wrong with her?" Heero demanded in a seriously grave
but slightly dangerous tone. The doctor let out a miserable, sympathetic sigh and
looked him straight in the eyes. "She's blind."
