Evelyn stirred. The vague memories of the dream she just had where still playing through her head like a broken tape, repeating the same part over and over again. She saw herself, well not really her. It couldn't be because she had never killed anyone right? The dream made her feel restless and more eager to find out who she really was and why of all places she had ended up in the hospital for the gundam pilots to find. Some would call it fate but Evelyn knew this was different. There had to be a reason and somehow she felt like she didn't really belong here in this strange world, where so many things where a mystery to her.
She heard him move through the living room long before he reached the door. No matter how quiet they tried to be she always seemed to hear them. Like she had some sharpened sixth sense. She opened her eyes to look at the clock above the couch. Four in the morning, it was still early. Too early for anyone to get up and dressed. She sat up, throwing the covers of. " What are you doing?" She questioned the ex pilot of Heavyarms.
His hand was resting on the doorknob, ready to leave, however he did glance at her over shoulder. " I'm going out.." Was his answer as he proceeded leaving.
" Duh.." Evelyn rolled her eyes. " I meant, where are you going?" Her hair was still messy from a rough night of sleep and streaks of un removed eyeliner and mascara where on her cheeks. Not the most charming sight. Usually she was long dressed before any of them got up. She couldn't sleep anyway and over the days she had lived with the pilots it more or less slipped in she made breakfast and even got some order back in the household. Not to a great liking of Duo who was still looking for his favourite sport magazine. [See trash bin
" Just out... Nothing special" He answered cryptically once again as he attempted to shut the door behind him. However her strategically placed foot prevented it from closing. She looked at him suspiciously and Trowa did his best to look like he was going to do nothing special.
" Liar." She concluded with her arms across her chest. " You're gonna do something stupid. Come one, spill.." she tapped her finger on her arm as she waited.
Trowa couldn't help but to look at her with some sort amusement. She was right in a way. He was going on a little mission that would perhaps be more dangerous then he hoped it would be but he wouldn't tell. He hadn't even told the others. Hoping to be back before they woke up and at this rate she would either wake them with her talking or keep him around long enough until they woke on their own. He sighed somewhat annoyed. Not being able to come up with some sort of excuse would basically mean he would have to take her with because she seemed determent enough to do it. He stepped back into the room, picked up her jeans from the floor and threw it at her. " Hurry up.." He gave in without bothering telling her what they where going to do.
Evelyn looked at him for a second longer. She realised he wasn't going to tell her anything more until they where on their way to where ever he was planning to go. Gesturing for him to turn around she slipped on her jeans and pulled the shirt she used to sleep in over her head. Finding her bra on the other end of the couch she quickly put on, rushing past Trowa to find her shirt. She mumbled some curses, kneeling down near the couch for the second time in an attempt to find her blouse.
Trowa was grateful the room was too dark for her to spot the small blush on his cheeks. He tapped her shoulder lightly, handing her the blouse that was on the couch instead of under it. She grinned and quickly buttoned it up. " Thanks.." she seemed to mouth as they entered the hall way as quietly as they could.
" Where are we going?" Evelyn asked first thing when they got outside unseen. She shivered in the morning cold. It was high time for some shopping or at least the chance to get back to her apartment to get some spare clothing but the pilots where very strict on her leaving the apartment. She wrapped her arms around her upper body in an attempt to get warm.
Trowa kept a steady pace to the van parked behind the building. She was not to far behind him and obviously cold. Maybe it was a bad idea after all to take her with him but it was probably too late to send her back now. Besides there was always a possibility this would trigger her memory and if she was the person they initially thought she was then she would help him. After all she was on their side now, right? Too many question marks. Too many things that weren't right. Trowa heaved a doubtful sigh unlocking the van. " To town." he answered her shortly. " Come on..."
There was a deadly silence between them in the van. Evelyn was staring out of the window, watching the sun come up. Trowa glanced at her from time to time. " Listen.." He said switching of the car radio she had turned on. " I'm gonna sabotage the supply Deliverance of the soldiers stationed in town. We could very well use the food ourselves."
" We're doing this for food?" Evelyn glanced at him before returning her eyes gaze back outside the car. " Why? That's both stupid and dangerous."
Trowa sighed, shaking his head. Maybe it was best to leave the rest of the plan out until the actual moment they where doing it. He shook his head.
They entered the building quietly and without trouble. Had Trowa found it weird there was no guard he didn't her know. Grabbing her arm lightly he guided her to the very heart of the building. " We'll use the stairs." He said quietly with his mouth near her ear. " The elevator makes to much noise."
She nodded. Evelyn could feel her heart beat in her throat. She didn't remember even feeling the way she did now. Adrenaline was rushing through her body and despite the fact that she was feeling a little scared she did way better then he expected.
" It's not far now.." He said knowing as long as he'd say something every now and then she would stay calm and might actually be of some use. He saw her nod and relax her body a little. He smiled at her and opened the doors to the main hangar and froze.
Evelyn walking right behind Trowa bumped into her when he suddenly stopped. " Trowa what is..." She stopped talking when she saw the group of soldiers in front of them. She looked at them in confusion. "Who are they?" She asked stepping up closer behind Trowa, to grab hold of the back of his shirt. These man didn't look like ordinary guards. These man looked like soldiers meaning business.
" Aaah Miss Evelyn. I must say it really is a pleasure to see you again. I'm curious where you have been all these years." One of the man stated.
" What is he talking about? Trowa...?" Evelyn firmed her grip on his shirt. They where in trouble big time. She could feel it by the way they looked at them, at her. They closed up on them and Evelyn felt Trowa's arms close her shoulder.
He looked at her, pulled her close, and whispered " I distract, you run. Go to the truck. If I'm not back in ten minutes you go alone, ok?" He pinched her arm softly in a comforting way.
She nodded but never got far. When Trowa told her to run she reached as far as the top of the stairs before someone's hand closed around her wrist. " Let go!" she shouted, trying to reach down for her gun but for some reason it wasn't there. She looked around frantically, in search of Trowa. Someone pressed a cloth against her mouth. She started feeling dizzy, lost all sense of time and place. Darkness washed over her like a wave. Her scream echoed through the hangar.
The minute she scream he turned. As in slow motion he watched her fall to the ground. The second she was down someone kneeled down and injected something in her arm and there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening. Suddenly a sharp pain hit him in the abdomen. Trowa looked at the blood oozing from the bullet hole distantly. He didn't even really feel the pain.
Evelyn felt a change within herself. She knew she would never be the same again. She saw a face the entire time. A comforting presence, someone waiting for her somewhere. Someone she needed to get back to. She had to resist. She had to fight the haze that came over her. Eventually though her mind went blank. She opened her eyes, the confusion and fear where gone. Blood and dirt stained her clothes but they no longer seemed to bother her.
" Evelyn!" Trowa gestured for her to come frantically.
She turned her grey eyes to him and it struck him how cold they where, calculating almost. She smiled confidently and walked up to him. " You're a pilot.." She concluded, licking her lips. Evelyn rolled her shoulder back, revealing her muscular but still feminine arms. " Perfect..."
Trowa's eyes widened. If anything he had calculated to happen in this fairly simple mission this wasn't one of those things. He internally cursed but kept his calm all the same. There was no point in rash actions now. He had seen her like this only one time before. Some years ago, before she helped the pilots out, it had been her mission to assassinate him and she had been one hell of problem to them. "Evelyn, listen to me." He tried calmly. " This is not who you are. Remember, you said you weren't gonna let anyone control you anymore."
The confusion returned, but only for second. Evelyn threw her head back and laughed, the sound of it echoing through the room. " Nice try. At least you still have your sense of humour. My mission is to assassinate the pilots at all costs. Go home to your friends. Next time I won't allow you to escape. Oh and if I where you I would have someone take a look at that wound of yours. Looks painful."
" What are you doing!!" The commanding officer shouted at her witnessing her as she allowed the pilot to escape. " Kill him!! Do what you where told!!" He didn't like the way she acted and soon he would regret ever talking to her.
She turned to her attention to the officer, drawing her gun sooner then anyone could react. " No one commands me to do anything." She said coolly as she shot him. " I will finish my mission for sure this time. I don't know what stopped me last time but I'm sure I'll find out and when I do..."
Alex held her hand firmly. Over the past few days she had gone cold. If possible even paler. It seemed, something was pulling her away from life faster and faster and no medicine seemed to work. It was the sixth day in a row he was near her bed. He was tired but it didn't stop him from staying. He wouldn't leave her side no matter what.
The doctors had given up on her. No matter what they did Evelyn still didn't seem to wake up. Like she was fighting to stay sick instead of getting better. If only he could figure out what was going on inside her head. If only he could let her know he was there for her now. If only she would wake, so he could hold her close.
Drifting up in thought he didn't notice how she for a short second stirred and even opened her eyes. Did she see him or didn't she even notice he was there. " Pilot's" She muttered quietly.
Alex flew up in his seat. He was sure he heard something. He looked at Evelyn, still the same as she had been before. He sighed. " I must have been wrong."
