Casualty of War and of the Heart Ch 4

Wufei helped Relena out of the car when they got to the cemetery. Instead of going to the Peacecraft plot, where her adopted father Mr. Dorlin was buried, she walked over to the children's part. Sadly there were many dead children due to the past wars. Relena hated that. But more than that she hated that there were unnamed, unclaimed children in the cemetery. She made sure that every Sunday fresh flower were placed on the unnamed children's plots. The unnamed children had there own spot. Relena made sure it was kept pretty and she even had a little chair where she would sit and read children's stories out loud. There were only five little unclaimed plots but Relena had a sixth plot dug. Five little boys bodies and one empty plot. She had once told Wufei that they represented the Gundam pilots.

"Relena maybe we should go home before you ruin your new dress," Wufei called out to Relena as she walked towards her chair near the little graves. She sat down and pulled the sleeves up on her dress and studied her arms. Wufei walked closer to her afraid she would hurt herself.

"Relena maybe we." Wufei stared to stay as Relena cut him off.

"Look at me. I'm the Queen of the World. I have been drugged, kidnapped and I've even been shot......but a boy....a boy almost killed me by telling me he loved someone else." Relena started to say.

Wufei was worried. He had never seen Relena cry. Not even that time she saved his life. Relena feel from the chair to her knees and held both of her arms in the sky

"My highest hope remains silent and unattained.
All the visions and solace of my youth lie dead!
How did I heal wounds like these.
How did I overcome them?
How was it that my soul rose once and left these graves?
"

Relena screamed this into the oncoming wind. A single tear rolled down her face. She stood and turned towards Wufei. She wiped the tear from her face.
"That one tear is more than he deserves. Come Wufei. We have guest to greet. Relena walked to the car. Wufei stood there in the cemetery looking down at the empty grave.

"Here lies the innocent kindhearted person once called Relena Peacecraft. Murdered by Heero Yuy," he told the empty grave. "One day I will avenge your death. Just as I avenged the death of my Nataku.
