Heero's Mistake

Part 8

Written By BrittanyRae

The cab stopped at the front and Heero got out and headed up the stairs. He kicked the door open and slammed behind him making his presence known. He ignored the butler, who was telling him that,

"Mr. Malfice will be most upset sir!"

And he walked right into the library where Tristram was reading comfortably. He didn't even look up until Heero spoke up,

"You are going to die."

"Really now? How amusing! You think you can defeat me boy?"

Heero glared,

"Take me to Relena and I'll make it less painful."

Tristram laughed,

"You can have your Relena…if you manage to kill me."

"You're on."

"A duel then?"

"Sure."

"I see you brought your own sword, very convenient."

Each man barred his sword. Sunlight came through the window and reflected off the metal of the swords and the cling, cling of metal against metal filled the air. As Tristram's sword nicked Heero's arm he noticed that Tristram had coated the sword in something- probably poison. That was okay- Dr. J had taught him to be immune to most poisons- besides he wasn't going to fight fair either. Tristram knocked Heero's sword from his hand and in the same instant Heero aimed a gun at Tristram's head. Tristram didn't bat an eye and slowly pulled his own gun from the pocket of his dress coat. He removed the coat and aimed his own gun at Heero's neck.

"You plan to kill me and get it done with- I plan to torture. That is the difference between you and me." Tristram told Heero.

"Hnn." Came the reply and Heero began to pocket his gun.

Then in a split second Heero grabbed a small bomb and threw it at Tristram. The bomb wasn't big enough to kill but it would take off Tristram's whole left leg if it hit where Heero aimed it. Heero didn't stick around to find out. The bomb blew, Malfice groaned, and Heero pointed his gun to the butler's head,

"Where's Relena hidden." Heero demanded.

The nervous, frightened, old man pointed shakily down a hallway before he passed out in terror. Heero turned and ran down the hallway checking each door he passed. Finally Heero opened a door and saw Relena. She was chained above the floor to a wall. Her clothes were torn and her body was covered in deep cuts and gashes. Some of the wounds still had blood dripping from them. Her hair was matted with blood as well. Heero walked up to her and touched her face hoping for a sign that she was still alive. Weakly Relena lifted her head to and saw him. Her eyes widened in surprise.

"Heero!" she gasped almost afraid she was dreaming.

In about five minutes he got her down from the wall and sat her on the floor. She didn't make any noise but Heero could tell she was wincing in pain as he moved her around. As gently as he could he set her down on the floor. As if reading his mind Relena answered the question Heero was afraid to ask.

"The baby's fine. It's due in two weeks." Her voice was no more than a whisper.

Heero looked relieved and he pulled out a cell phone and dialed Sally and Noin,

"Don't bother with the gundam," He told them. "Come get Relena out of here. Bring medical supplies."

"Roger that- we'll be right over," Sally answered and then she hung up.

"Not so fast boy." Tristram's voice drawled. "I intend to make that girl my bride whether you like it or not."

At that moment Sally and Noin arrived knocking out part of the wall in they're haste to get Relena to safety. The smoke from the explosion distracted Tristram long enough for Noin and Sally to disappear with Relena and for Heero to get his gun ready. As the smoke cleared Tristram glared,

"You'll die today boy- mark my words."

Only five miles away Relena gasped and realized that her water had just broke and the baby was coming two weeks early.
