A Broken Trust: Part 2

Relena woke in a bright, white room with three
dark figures looming over her.

"Aaaaahhh!" She screamed.

"Aaaahhhh!" replied the equally surprised shadows as
they jumped backwards.

"Whoa, 'Lena! It's me, Duo! Sit! Stay! Good
Peacecraft!" Duo yelled, a hint of sarcasm in his
voice. Relena sat up, still confused, but immediately
regretted it because her head ached horribly, so she
quickly lay back down.

"Where am I?" she asked while massaging her temples.

"You're in the Sanq hospital," replied Quatre. He was
pale and looked extremely worried, like they had a
secret that they had not told her. She stared at him
with a question in her eyes but he looked away.

"You had us worried." She looked toward Trowa, who was
now speaking.
"Your little nap took way too long." He stooped to
retrieve something from the floor, but failed in his
attempt to conceal it. At first she did not know what
she was looking at, but then the realization of what
it was made her blood run cold. It was Heero's shirt,
and it had a large bloodstain surrounding a hole on
the right shoulder.

"Heero..." she whispered before she passed out again.


Heero was very lucky because the doctor/assassin
wasn't exactly the best
marksman in the world. If Heero had been hit any
farther left, he would have been dead now; but saved
by a bad shot, he was alive! He sat up unsteadily and
tried to get his bearings.

The first thing he noticed was that he was sore in
more places than he could count, plus some places he
didn't know existed. He massaged the right side of his
neck and cringed as a wave of pain shot through his
arm. He looked down at the bullet wound. "Damn," He
murmured. He reached for the collar of his shirt, but
found it was gone. He tore some cloth from the edge of
his shorts and tied it tightly around the wound. That
done, he surveyed the room he was in.

The room was dark with a cold, slippery floor. It
occurred to him that
the floor was slippery because of his blood. He stood
and moved cautiously over to a corner in the room. He
shivered and stared off into space. He leaned on the
wall and wondered out loud, "My Relena, where are
you?" He hoped more than anything that she was safe,
and not cold and aching in some room like he was right
now. And the baby. He was going to be a father.

Heero took one more look around his cell. "I love you,
Re...le...na." Slowly sleep overcame his exhausted and
aching body, but with sleep came no rest.

He dreamt of the first day they met but seemed to be
watching from somewhere else. He saw her sadness when
he ran away - ran away
for the first time. He wished he could go to her, to
comfort her, to gaze deeply into her eyes, those
beautiful eyes that shed tears for him too many times.
Most of all just he just wanted to be with her. He
wanted so badly to hold her close to him and feel her
warmth! She turned and looked at him then held out her
hand to him. He lifted his own to grasp hers but
before their hands touched she turned to dust and blew
away on the wind.

"NOOOO!" He yelled. He awoke with a jump, startled by
his own voice, finding tears in his eyes. He wept
openly for the first time in many, many years.

Duo: Oooooh! Heero cried? I'm liking this!
D.D.04: What the? Duo! You're not supposed to be here!
You're supposed
to be
with Relena!
Duo: Aw, MAN!
D.D.04: Go on shoo! *Pegs in the back of the head with
Supe Deformed
Model
Deathscythe*
Duo: Fine! *Storms out of the room*
D.D.04: Phew now I can finish the story... well not
exactly.
Heero: What do you mean by 'not exactly'?
D.D.04: You'll see...
Heero: Crap. That is not good is it?
