Chapter Three
The sun just began to tint the sky pink when a shrill whistle sounded from the
hotel. Heero raised his head to listen more closely. The figure was ready to go. Heero
leaped from the tree and made his way quietly to the ground.
Heero turned the corner and was pulled into an alley. "Be careful. These people
do not like foreigners," the figure stated.
Heero nodded, and the figure began on his way again. Heero waited but a minute
before he began to follow the figure. The figure took them into a deep forest filled with
sounds. Heero's senses were heightened as he tried not to become separated from the
figure.
The forest lasted half the day. The sun was straight above them as they entered a
plain tall with grass and wildflowers. The heat the sun gave off was beginning to slow
the figure down.
Heero was surprised at the change and barely managed not to run into him. The
figure turned to yell at Heero, but Heero was no where in sight. Heero peeked out from
under a sunflower just as the figure began to move again.
Heero drew a water bottle from his backpack and continued at the new pace. The
moon was in the eastern sky as they made their way into the next village. The figure once
again went into a hotel and Hero found a remote location to rest.
Morning rolled around, but without the pink sky. Dark clouds rolled into an ever
graying sky. Heero felt a raindrop touch his cheek as the morning whistle sounded.
Heero swiftly made his way to the figure.
Another raindrop fell, this time hitting the figure's mask. Soon the clouds
unleashed their load of raindrops and with a strong breeze added, the air looked like a the
ocean on a windy day. Heero and the figure ducked into the nearest store, both
thoroughly soaked.
The figure talked in hushed tones to the store manager while Heero began to look
around. There was an array of all kinds of items. He saw something that made him step
back so suddenly and breathe in so deeply that he felt dizzy and light-headed.
What he saw was a picture of Relena. He hadn't seen her face for so long, then in
this lit-up picture, he saw her for the first time in almost seven months. Heero stared in
awe at her beauty before a whistle interrupted his train of thoughts.
"The manager is letting us use the upstairs for today. Come and we will talk of
our plans," the figure stated as Heero turned around.
Heero nodded and went up the steps after the figure. Heero went into the
bathroom to change his clothes, and when he came out, he saw the figure had placed
several maps, charts, and papers on the table. "We will begin with our strategy," the
figure announced as he saw Heero.
The figure still had on its wet clothes and mask. Heero looked closely at the eyes
to see if he could recognize the person. He figure looked up and him and glared at him,
before pulling out a map of a field with a huge rectangle in the middle.
"This is the place where they are holding Relena. We will spend the rest of today
figuring out a plan to even get near this. I have drawn, sketched, and written down plans
that just might get us in and out with no trouble what-so-ever," the figure explained as he
gestured to all the papers.
Heero nodded and the figure began to point out different objects on the map.
"Each of these places marked with a star are possible entrances that we can use to help us
find Relena. They are heavily guarded, but the guards rotate each hour, laving one
entrance unguarded for but a minute. It is that minute we must use wisely to get into the
building and pass unnoticed," the figure defined the star markings.
The figure went on explaining all the entrances, the different hallways, different
rooms, and the hidden passageways to Heero. Heero took it all in and didn't need further
explanations. "We will start off again after the rain passes. Five days will lead us to her,
but if we only spend four hours sleeping instead of eight, we will reach the destination
sooner," the figure stated.
Heero nodded. "I don't need sleep, I just need to find Relena," Heero told the
figure.
"Very well, if you like we can start off now, but I just wouldn't want your
backpack to get wet," the figure mocked.
"My backpack is made of water-proof material. It will be fine," Heero replied
with a smirk.
The figure made a quiet groan but stood up. He placed the maps and papers in his
coat, leaving behind the charts. Heero slipped the charts into his bag without the figure
noticing. Heero slipped on a hat and followed the figure from the building.
"Thanks for the room. We are off," the figure said to the store owner.
The manager nodded nervously and hurried upstairs. Heero smirked with half his
mouth and prepared himself for the intense rain. The wind had gotten worse, the rain
almost falling horizontally.
The figure had some trouble finding good footing and the wind pushed it back
every now and then. Heero kept his distance and kept pace. The rain began to let up, and
finally stopped just in time for the sun to set. The figure persisted on.
The moon was in the middle of the sky before they stopped to rest. They were
nowhere near anything, the figure began to make camp. "We will stay here for the night
and continue as the first rays of sunlight come up over the horizon," he ordered.
Heero let the figure get comfortable and fall asleep before he crept off into his
own place to rest. Heero fell into a light sleep that was interrupted as gold touched his
eyelids. "Relena," he whispered as he opened his eyes.
He was greatly disappointed to see it was only the sun and Relena wasn't there.
Heero sat up and gathered his bag. Heero was just about visible to where the figure had
fallen asleep when a whistle rang throughout the plain.
The figure saw Heero and began on his way. Today was going to be windy like
yesterday, but the cloudless sky promised not to rain. Heero sighed at the thought that he
was four days away from Relena, and no closer to comprehending who the figure was.
The figure was making good pace today and Heero was glad. They moved at least
three times the pace they had gone yesterday. They didn't stop until the sun began to rise
the next day. "We will stop in that village up ahead and continue at noon," the figure
stated.
Heero nodded, but he wasn't going to rest. Instead he got supplies. He went to
the nearest gas-station and bought a pack of water bottles, some chips, a few things of
food, and got some more money from the ATM. He also went to the ammunition store
and bought three new guns and six sets of bullets. There was something the figure wasn't
telling him, and he was going to need all the resources he could get his hands on.
The sun was in the middle of the sky and a whistle soon sounded. Heero went to
where they had parted and met the figure. They continued to walk until a large palace
was seen. The figure stopped and dropped to the ground.
"We are now only a plan and a day away. The new pace we have been working at
has gotten us further ahead then I thought. We will have to watch their rotations and
slowly hide behind each of the obstacles. Relena should be in your arms tomorrow night
or just a little later," the figure declared and to himself, 'And you shall be in my hands
after your happy reunion.'
