Casualty of the War and Heart Chapter 1
The moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft wings whisper the bidding of the trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
Cradle of Filth - Midian
As Wufei finished reading the letter aloud a loud crash was heard.
"'Leane," Duo said.
The four ex-pilots ran up the stairs to see Miliardo and Noin trying to get Relena's door open. Mariemaia walked out of her room.
"Uncle Wufei, what's wrong?" the half awake child asked.
Duo picked her up, "Hi Mar. Remember your Uncle Duo."
"The braided baka?" Mariemaia said as she tried to wake up.
"Yea, remind me to hit Uncle Wufei for teaching you to say that, now lets go to bed." He said as he carried the child back to her room.
Once she was out of sight Miliardo explained that Noin and himself had heard something break and when to check on Relena. But her door was locked and they didn't have a key. Noin and Miliardo were very worried because there was total silence after the crash sound.
Wufei pulled a key from his pocket, "Let me talk to her," he said as he unlocked the door. Miliardo nodded in approvement and Wufei walked in. Locking the door behind him.
He looked at the room. In the middle of the floor laid what was once Relena's full length mirror. Now in thousands of pieces on the floor. A scarlet red trail lead from the mirror to Relena, who had her back to Wufei and was looking out the window.
"Relena are you all right," Wufei asked.
"Yes," she replied. That one word was dripped with such incredible sadness that for a moment Wufei though Relena had spoken to the mirror and her sad tone had cause the mirror to shatter.
Relena turned to Wufei and he say her arms were badly cut and bleeding heavily. "Tell him," she said, "tell him he will marry here," she gestured to the room, "he will marry her in the Sank Kingdom, in my home. Please Wufei, tell him that."
"All right Relena," he said. Wufei then unlocked the door and carried Relena out of the room. He held her close as Quatra and Trowa tried to wrap her wounds. Noin ran to Marimeia's room to make sure the child didn't get up. Duo and Miliardo went to get the car. Miliardo was waiting in the driver seat with Duo next to him as Quatra and Trowa and Wufei, Still carrying Relena walked out of the house. In the car, as Miliardo sped to the nearest hospital, Quatra and Trowa applied pressure to Relena's arms.
She looked deadly pale and she looked at Wufei with eyes that belong to someone who had nothing to live for. "Heero," she whispered. For a moment her eyes were full of hope, then they rolled back into her head.
Duo closed his eyes as well and began to pray as Miliardo tried to keep from crying. Quatra and Trowa begged Relena to open her eyes. Wufei looked out the window knowing that it was a broken heart and not the loss of blood that was killing Relena slowly in his arms.
