Coal Black 1
Serena walked calmly into class even though the bell rung five minutes ago.
"Why are you late and please take off your sunglasses." Ms. Pike questioned and demanded. 'Same routine every day', Ms. Pike thought and sighed. Serena didn't answer she just went to take her seat. 'Why does she even bother to ask?' Serena thought agitation reaching the next level as she grabbed her pencil, a paper and started to do her homework that was due today.
Heero walked into his apartment and slammed the door.
"Woah, buddy. What's up?" Duo, a teen with brown chestnut hair that is held in a braid going down to his mid-back and his dark blue-violet eyes always in mischief asked as he jumped over the couch heading to the kitchen. Heero didn't respond, instead just went into his dark room and shut the door.
"FINE!" Duo yelled then mumbled, "Be that way I'll just eat some chocolate cake."
"SERENA wait up!" Relena shouted and came running up to Serena after the last school bell rang.
"Hey, Relena." Serena mumbled and rolled her eyes beneath her sunglasses.
"So, how was your day?" Relena questioned stiffly.
"I'm not in the mood." Serena growled with an edge in her voice.
"You know that there's a horseback riding club after school. Why don't you join?" Relena continued with a regal polite voice as if she heard nothing.
"Ms. Peacecraft if you dare to say one more word I swear I'll have you life." Serena scowled lowly. Relena froze in her tracks, as did Serena who stood two paces in front of her.
"Or maybe I'll have yours Ms. Straton." Relena growled lowly back, all formality and regal left between them and in place were the dark shadows that roam under hell's reign . . . and all they yearn for is blood.
Heero looked at his lab top screen reading a profile of a person he forgot long ago . . .
Name: Serena Light
When adopted: Serena Straton
Age: 15
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 102 lb.
Known blood-relatives: Stacey Light (mother) Joseph Light (father) Samuel Light, Owin Light
Dead blood-relatives: Owin Light, Stacey Light, Joseph Light
Adopted relatives: Sarah Straton
'Owin Light . . . that's me.' Heero thought while standing and picking up his black lab top. Then he threw the lab top hard against the wall, a huge bang issued as the lab top was consumed in a bunch of red and black flames . . . none touching the apartment itself.
Duo rushed in Heero's room.
"Man, what the hell did you do! How are you going to receive missions anymore?" Duo exclaimed his eyes dancing when he saw the fire though and scrap electronic parts in a pile on the floor.
"I already read my mission." Heero stated flatly.
"What is it?" Duo questioned curiously, but Heero just left the apartment not bothering to fill Duo's curiosity.
Relena was pissed.
"Do you know what I have to go through each day!" Relena yelled in Serena's face. "I'm surrounded by blood-lusting battle idiots who only want power. None of them want peace and this façade that's surrounding me is driving me insane! Power hungry idiots. That's what they are and that's what you are." Relena accused with fire burning in her eyes.
"I resent that. I don't give a damn about power nor war nor peace. So I suggest you whine about it somewhere else. Oh, and I'm glad you finally realized what these organizations are all about. " Serena responded calmly back, but deep down she was holding back a bundle of rage.
"I realized it a while back, I am not stupid or pampered and do you know what, I AM NOT WHO I SEEM TO BE! I may be a pacifist but I am not the innocent girl who has never been angry or punched someone before!"
"No one is who they seem." Serena stated coldly but Relena acted like she didn't hear.
"And do you know what. I'll prove it to you right now that I can fight and be tough." Relena's voice trembled with anger and held a pinch of desperation. Her face was twisted in determination that TNT wouldn't be able to dent.
"No. I don't want you to . . ." Serena started but was cut off as Relena's fist hit her jaw. "Stop." Serena demanded calmly but like ice not effected by Relena's new attitude.
"What you won't fight back? Afraid to hurt me or you just don't know how?"
"That's pathetic Relena." Serena responded with black ice as she leaned on her left foot relaxing a bit. "Stop this nonsense now. You never came at people like this before."
"Before, that was the past. The past doesn't matter anymore! I'm sick of everyone talking behind my back! Saying things that aren't true. I'm sick of people treating me like . . . dirt! And I'm sick of your cold mean unforgiving attitude! I am sick of YOU!"
"You're the one who talks to me. It's not my problem." Serena scowled and her body tensed.
"Do you know what . . . I bet your brother died because of you! Because you and your rebel attitude! Because you always sneak out at night and always get into trouble!"
"How the hell do you think that!" Serena demanded roughly as she clenched her fists.
"It's on your police records you idiot!" Relena taunted and a spark entered her blue eyes. "That's it isn't it. You were the cause of your brother's death. Owin DIED because of you didn't he! I knew you didn't deserve to live. I just had to find a reason. Now you'll pay for his innocent LIFE!" Relena shouted as she charged at Serena knocking them both to the ground. Serena's patience, calmness, control disintegrated within the fire that raged within her. Nobody, nobody, talked about her family in anyway. Or was that just an excuse because Serena didn't really know if she deserved to live anymore, not after all the failures and torture she caused her brothers Sammy and Owin/Heero. But she needed something to take all her confusion on and Relena put herself in the perfect position.
Punching Relena in the face and kicking her in the stomach forced Relena to her knees. But Relena tackled Serena's feet again forcing both of them to the ground once more. Kicking Relena's face, Relena retaliated by biting Serena's wrist. Serena snaked her other hand to encircle Relena's slim neck. Putting pressure there Relena was forced to let go giving Serena free punches at her face. Once again Serena stood up, her anger coursed threw her veins, as did Relena's. For Relena stood up also with blood trickling down from her nose and lip. Without wasting another second Relena's foot connected with Serena's stomach. In return Serena grabbed her foot as she fell down pulling Relena to the ground with her. There they started to wrestle, both punching kicking, Relena biting and digging her nails in Serena's skin. Serena started to punch Relena in the stomach repeatedly, as Relena's nails dug into her arm and was sliding making a thick long scratch and still continuing. On Serena's tenth punch to Relena's gut someone grabbed her by both arms restraining her. Serena thrashed trying every move she learned to get out this person's hold. None of them worked. Relena stood up and looked Serena in the eyes, Relena's eyes were full of daggers as Serena's full of fire.
"That's what you get for messing with me you unforgiving cold . . ."
"That's enough Relena." A chilling voice interrupted Relena's tirade.
"What happened!" A teen with short wild pale blonde hair and deep dark blue eyes came up. His expression held a look of unbelieving shock.
"This girl attacked me!" Relena cried and sunk to the ground holding her knees. "I didn't . . . didn't know what . . . what caused her to . . . to do it." Relena's tears soaked into her pink dress as she started to rock back and forth.
"What's the commotion?" Two policemen came running up.
"She . . ." Relena stuttered then sobbed whispering repeatedly, "attacked me . . . attacked me . . . attacked me . . ."
"Is this true?" The boy with wild pale blonde hair was with the policemen questioned softly.
"Quatre you don't trust me!" Relena yelled in shock and outrage.
"A little over-dramatic isn't she?" Serena smirked as she finally relaxed a little in the hold she was in. The cuts and scratches with the bruises she received, not to mention the bite marks all ached and no matter how much she experienced physical pain Serena could never get used to it for it was different every time.
"We are going to have to place you under arrest Ms. . .?"
"Straton!" Relena chirped as she got off the ground but still holding her stomach.
(Heero's P.O.V)
When I saw a girl beating up Relena and Relena doing who knows what I rushed and ripped the girl off Relena restraining her from any more action
"That's what you get for messing with me you unforgiving cold . . ." Relena quickly started spitting out insults so I decided to interrupt her pointless tirade.
"That's enough Relena." I told her with a coldness that's beyond icy. That's why I rarely use this tone of voice.
"What happened!" Quatre came up. His expression held a look of unbelieving shock . . . figures.
"This girl attacked me!" Relena cried and sunk to the ground holding her knees. "I didn't . . . didn't know what . . . what caused her to . . . to do it." Relena's tears soaked into her pink dress as she started to rock back and forth. I almost wanted to inform her that she was doing fine fighting back in an unknown way and when I pulled the girl off her.
"What's the commotion?" Two policemen came running to us, and from each one I detected amusement.
"She . . ." Relena stuttered then sobbed whispering repeatedly, "attacked me . . . attacked me . . . attacked me . . ." Why does she have to be so fake.
"Is this true?" Quatre questioned softly. I could tell he didn't want to believe it.
"Quatre you don't trust me!" Relena yelled in shock and outrage.
"A little over-dramatic isn't she?" I could tell the girl was smirking as she finally relaxed a little in my hold. I noticed the cuts and scratches with the bruises she received, not to mention the bite marks all over her body but that was none of my concern . . .or at least it wasn't until her last name was Straton.
"Serena Straton. We heard about you." One of the policemen stated smugly. "Well, let's see what your fine will be this time. Attempt murder . . . hmm . . . that would be fifty years in jail . . ."
"I didn't try to kill her you assholes." I heard her mutter. My sister has an attitude. I wanted to smirk but held it back. For there was nothing to smirk at anymore, the moment was over.
(End Heero's P.O.V)
"You didn't?" The policeman questioned shocked is an understatement. "You could've fooled us."
"You weren't even here to see it. Ask this person who is holding me hostage here if anything." Serena snapped. 'At least I have a chance to get out of this un-just punishment. Hope this guy is on my side.' Serena's thoughts schemed.
"This was not an attempted murder." Heero stated with no emotion causing Serena to stiffen. She knew that voice all to well. Moving her elbow she elbowed Heero in the gut with extreme strength she never knew she had. Throwing his arm that was holding her arms off she grabbed her gun out of the back of her jeans. Not hesitating she shot at him. Heero ducked just like she thought he would. Turning and running she disappeared into the blinding sunlight while the policemen talked rapidly on their communicators/radios and with Heero and Quatre staring at he emptiness in front of them.
Serena vanished.
Relena paced her room berating herself with what happened earlier. How could she loose control like that? Serena just had a knack for emotions to surface with her . . . good ones and bad. Relena put her head in her hands. What caused her to act like a baby lunatic? Insanity . . . life is full of insanity.
