Part 1: Before The
Fall of the Sank Kingdom
Written By BrittanyRae
Relena Darlain/Peacecraft. Everyone knows
my name but no one really knows me.
I'm Relena Peacecraft and guess
what?! I'm a princess! I have a mommy and a daddy and a brother (his hair is
messy) and a nurse lady with gray hair who worries a lot and there are also a
lot of people who spend the day cleaning and cooking and boring stuff like
that. We also have Pagan, he's old and wrinkly like a teddy bear, mommy calls
him the butler. My parents are very busy what with all their boring grown up
work so they don't have very much time to play with me and my big brother
Millardo. That's okay though because Millardo is the best big brother in the
whole world! Sometimes Millardo is busy doing schoolwork and learning how to
use a shiny sword. Pagan teaches him
that, they call it fencing. I think
that's silly because nothing they do or use is anything like a fence. Oh well!
Mommy and Daddy and Pagan call me Lena. Everyone else calls me Missy Relena
even though I tell them not to. Millardo has his own special name for me. He
calls me Rotini because when Mommy and Daddy first told him my name he thought
they said Rotini and as Mommy and Daddy say, "it just stuck." I live in a
really really really big house. Daddy says that it's a palace. I have my own room and a toy room
and there are a lot of other rooms in the palace. Sometimes I get lost when I'm
walking around but Pagan always finds me. Actually I'm not really supposed to
go off by myself but Nursey is always so worrisome and fussy that I decide to
run away. Nursey tries to get me to wear pink frilly outfits but I don't like
them. I like simpler outfits that I can run and play in! Besides I like the
color purple not pink! There are
some good things about living in a really really really big house too. Like
hide-and-seek! I like playing hide-and-seek with Millardo and Nursey. Me and
Millardo go hide and Nursey has to come find us. She never does though; Pagan
always comes and finds us and tells us to go and tell Nursey we're sorry for
scaring her. It's not our fault that Nursey isn't good at hide-and-seek and
that she can't find us. That's okay though because we have fun anyway and I
know Pagan isn't upset really. I can see him laughing in his eyes like Daddy
did the time I helped the Cookie make cake. Cookie was busy and told me to put
in sugar but I couldn't tell what was the sugar so I just grabbed the blue
container (it was shaped like a tall circle except that the top and bottom were
flat, Millardo calls those cylinders). Later when Cookie served the cake to
Mommy and Daddy and their guests (mommy and daddy have guests come over a lot.
Most of the time they're dressed in stuffy suits and fancy dresses. Pagan calls
them diplomats and politicians). Each of them got a piece and the one Daddy
called Mister Jacobs took the first bite and he made such a funny face! Soon
everyone took a bite and they all made funny faces too! Then my mommy and daddy
told me to bring them the container of stuff I put in so I did. Then they told
me I'd put in salt instead of sugar. Then the diplomats and
politicians laughed and Mommy smiled and daddy's eyes laughed and soon everyone
was laughing and daddy scooped me up and gave me a big hug and tickled me with
his beard. Millardo is 6 years old and I'm 2 years old. For my birthday when I
turned 2 he got me a teddy bear. It's brown and fuzzy and it has a red bow
around its neck. I named it George because I couldn't think up any other names
(besides it looks like a George). I take George with me everywhere! Yesterday a
little Prince boy from some place far away came to visit. His name was William
Carnelian but he said to call him Billy. I asked him why call him Billy?
There's no B or in William, right? And he said because that was the nickname
for people named William. Then I said I thought it should be Will or Willi not
Bill or Billy. Then I asked him if he was a Billy Goat (you know like in Billy
Goat's Gruff) and he got mad at me and pulled my hair. It really hurt and then
I got mad at him so I kicked him in the leg (even though Mommy and Daddy say
fighting is bad). Pretty soon he and his Mommy and Daddy went home. I'm glad
they live really far away and I hope they don't come back. His Mommy smelled
like fish. Sometimes at dinner we have Brussels sprouts. I don't like Brussels
sprouts so I always sneak them under the table to the dog. Our doggie's name is
Trisca. Millardo's nice though, sometimes he slips me candies under the table
when we have something I don't like. Uh oh! Nursey is calling me for bedtime. I
don't like bedtime. Nursey makes me put on a nightgown even though I like my
footy pajamas better (I always change after she leaves). Then she reads me a
story but she skips words to make go faster. Then she makes me take some
Vitamins and drink a glass of warm milk. I don't like warm milk! I better go so
Nursey doesn't tell Daddy I'm being a bad girl. Goodnight!
I'm scared! I was sleeping in my bed
hugging my teddy bear when all of a sudden Millardo came in looking worried and
woke me up. His face was really pale so I thought maybe he was sick. Then he
told me that the house was on fire and he grabbed my hand and started dragging
me out the door. I could hear Mommy screaming and daddy shouting mean things
I've never heard him say before. The cleaning and cooking peoples were running
everywhere. Millardo handed me to one of them and that one carried me outside.
There were people I'd never seen before running around and shooting and killing
and there was so much blood and fire! And there was this sound of an evil
person laughing (you know like the bad peoples in stories and movies). The
servant person hid me under a tree and than ran back to the house. Everybody's
gone. I can't find anyone outside and it's dark and scary. I can't hear Mommy
screaming or Daddy shouting. I think the bad people killed them. I think that
these peoples who are burning and shooting and killing are the terrorist peoples
I heard Mommy and Daddy talking about. It's cold out here and I'm scared and my
eyes hurt from the smoke that' s drifting this way from the house. Where is
everyone? What's going to happen to me? Where are Millardo and Pagan and
Nursey? I wish none of this had ever happened! I just want to wake up and
realize it was all a bad dream.
*******Narrator's
POV*******
Relena lay down on the cold ground
hugging her bear and cried herself to sleep, hidden from the terrorists by the
large tree. It had begun to rain but the tree branches kept her dry while the
rain put out the fire. While she slept Pagan took her to the home of Vice
Foreign Minister Darlain and his wife, two very close friends of the
Peacecrafts. He left her on the doorstep with a note explaining what happened
and then left. In the morning Mr.
Darlain opened the door to leave for work and found Relena lying there asleep.
He took her inside and laid her down in a bed in the guest room. Then he showed
his wife the note. Te Darlains decided to take care of and raise Relena since
they had no children of there own. While Relena slept her mind erased itself of
all memory of the tragic events of the nights and of the Peacecrafts. She only
knew that she was two-year-old Relena who loved her mother, father, and her
teddy bear George. She had forgotten everything that tied her to her previous
life.
Author's Note: That was part one of my untitled story. The
next part, Life With the Darlains. Needless to say it will take much longer. If
you have any suggestions I 'd be happy to hear them (especially if you have an
idea for a title). Don't forget to review!
