Chapter 9- Missing
By Destiny
//Relena stood facing the open balcony door, casting a pale light over her features and caused her silk nightgown to shimmer softly in the light, her wheat blonde hair loose and her hands clasped behind her back. Her blue eyes never wavering in staring into the bright morning rays of light and her lips never saying a word to the woman who now waited in her room, she turned away from the window and sighed. She held her head in her hands and cried,
'What am I doing?' she whispered to herself and sobbed.
The other woman made no move to comfort her or to even say a word, her violet eyes just staring at Relena, never wavering. Relena moved over to the wall and began pounding her fist upon it, 'what am I doing?' she whispered to herself once again and sobbed.
Still the other woman made no move in Relena's direction nor did she offer any words of advice, she just stood there.
"I can't kill my family." Relena moaned.
It was now the other woman reacted, her voice sounded fragile but there was no mistaking the anger that was there. "They are not your family. You took them from me." The woman stated.
Relena whirled around and faced the pale beauty that stood in her room, the fatal scar across her throat still a vivid red and the murderous liquid dared not to fall, for there was none left within her.
"Why!! Why do you haunt me still!!" Relena shouted at the other woman.
"Because you stole what is mine." She replied
"No! It was an accident I meant nothing by it, it was an accident I swear it was!" Relena shouted.
"So was Emily an accident too, and Teresa?" the other woman asked, and as she said those name, those two women appeared. Pale and their wounds still vividly present.
"No…I wanted to keep it all, I needed to keep it all." Relena stated her voice above a whisper.
"So you admit my death was no accident?" the pale blonde woman asked, her violet eyes boring into Relena's blue ones.
Relena stared into the violet eyes and still she shook her head, "It was an accident." She murmured.
"I doubt this," the woman said and her had fluttered to her throat to show off the wound "Was hardly an accident." She stated her voice as cold as ice.
"Mine was no accident," Emily stated and with the flick of her wrist the bedroom scene changed to an office.
Two women stood facing each other one fired, her bullet piercing the others skull, while the other woman had choked and shot her arm. The brown haired, brown-eyed woman fell to the floor dead with her injury while the other stood victorious and began to destroy the computer. "I had a daughter for God sake!"
"I doubt that mine was either," Teresa stated her eyes as hard as the emerald green that they were. The scene changed from an office to a library, as one black haired woman walked away the other pulled out a gun and shot her in the back, she fell to the floor the blood gurgling in her mouth. "Talk about stabbing me in the back."
"I'm sorry!" Relena shouted
They heard her words but did not believe them, when finally the pale blonde woman waved her hand in the air and the library wavered into a forest. Two small girls stood face to face, one a platinum blonde the other a honey blonde. Their eyes' stared into each other violet against a dark blue.
"Hi my name is Relena." The platinum blond curtsied in her fluffy and expensive dress.
While the other moved forward to touch the dress the extravagant silk slipping between her fingers; when she raised the sharp and rusty shears…
"No!!" Relena shouted and closed her eyes "Demons be gone!" she shouted
"Than you'd be the only one leaving." The pale blond was no longer a woman but now a young child, but the wound was still present and her violet eyes on fire. She was now the only one left in the room.
"Why are you doing this why?" Relena asked.
"Why Ida, you know don't you?" the blond child asked.
Slowly her head nodded and she answered, "Yes I do Relena."//
Relena opened her eyes and was immediately awake, she could never escape the past much less her dreams. She felt her forehead and wiped off the cold sweat that beaded there. Reaching out with her hand she grabbed the anti-depression pills and threw them against the wall, in fact she stood up and cleared off her whole nightstand that was aligned with bottles of medication that had been prescribed to her, they all made a loud clanging sound as they crashed onto the hardwood floor.
Duo jolted along with the jeep on the badly paved road, and looked around at the brilliant castles and lush green fields. He sighed and turned his attention back onto the four men in the jeep, each silent and concentration on the mission at hand. They had with them a small arsenal and enough explosives to destroy a small village.
"Guys, I was wondering; what if all that food and provisions isn't for an army, but rather civilians." Duo offered to his teammates.
The other four men brooded over that idea until finally Milliardo spoke, " I suppose that can be a possibility so no shooting and asking questions later."
"Never planned on shooting." Wufei said as he finished polishing his katana, the sunlight bounced off of it and gave it an ethereal glow.
"That goes for slicing and dicing too." Milliardo added
Wufei raised and eyebrow but shrugged his shoulders and sheathed his sword. Duo smirked and looked out again over the fields, when his cell phone rang jolting him out of his reverie. Unclipping the ringing phone from his belt Duo answered it,
"Hello?" he greeted.
"Duo...is Milliardo with you?" Came his wife's trembling voice.
"Hilde? What's wrong, tell me." Duo coaxed his wife he himself now worried.
"Duo…the Peacecraft mansion was burned down and we can't find Lucretzia or Marimaea." She replied.
Marimaea snuck down to the jeep storage she slid into the drivers seat, flipping down the sun visor she smirked when the keys fell from its hiding place and into her lap. Grasping the main key she shoved it into the ignition and started the car, when an attendant stepped out and began waving for her to get out. She in turn smirked at the attendant and pressed down the gas pedal and sped out of the lot. A trail of dirt and dust was left behind her as she made her way down the winding trail.
Heero shook himself awake and opened his eyes; he looked around the dark room specked with dawn light that filtered through the grate in the ceiling. He closed his eyes tightly and went about picking the locks on the manacles, he had just about gotten to be a professional about it, and he could now pick the locks in less than 2 minutes. He'd almost just about slid one off when the door opened; quickly he slid his hand back within the restraint and looked up. He was relieved to see that it was only Tasha. He smiled at her and finished sliding his hand out of the restraint and waved. She rolled her eyes and giggled at his antics, she walked across the floor and placed his breakfast tray onto the floor. The aroma of pancakes hit him and she uncovered the plate piled with pancakes and eggs.
"The cook wouldn't let me have any meats today, he said I'd been eating too much of it." She apologized and handed him his utensils.
"Well you've gone out of your way already with giving me these hot meals instead of the usual gruel, and I thank you." Heero said as he began cutting up his pancakes.
"I wish you weren't in these conditions to begin with," Tasha said and drew her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. "In fact I wish that I wasn't here." She muttered bitterly.
Heero looked to her and raised an eyebrow, he was worrying about her odd behavior recently, it had begun a few days ago and she wasn't telling him why.
"Tasha, what's wrong?" he asked concern in his eyes and tone.
"Everything." She muttered and turned away from him, she looked at a distant spot on the wall, it was obvious that she wasn't going to say another word.
Heero placed down his utensils and stopped eating suddenly he wasn't hungry, "Tasha, please tell me what's the matter." He asked.
She shook her head and stood, she picked up the tray and the rest of the utensils and left the room. As soon as she had closed the door she leaned against it and murmured, 'everything I thought I knew is a lie.'
