Death's Legacy
Chapter Five
Deity sat on her new bed and stared around the room that she would call her for however long she would be there. She stood and moved her suitcase onto the bed and opened it. She smiled as she noticed her clothes in comparison to her new room. Her dark clothes made the light pastel room seem even brighter. As she pulled out her clothes and put them away she felt herself relaxing somewhat. Her mother was still downstairs catching up with her old friends. Elodea, Guy, Colin, and Marian had left to the hangar out back, she didn't follow not wanting to get in the way. Her muscles where tight from all the tension and her head hurt form all the new information. Her mother use to be Queen of the world, who would have guessed it. As she finished putting her last set of clothes in the closet a knock came at her door.
"It's open!" When the door opened she came face to face with a tall boy with raven black hair. "Shit!" He had surprised her, especially since she didn't know who he was.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you, here my name is Luke Peacecraft, I'm your cousin." He extended his hand to her and she took it in a firm grasp. She looked at him wearily trying to take in the information. Only a few days ago her only family had been her Mother, now she had an aunt, uncle, and cousin! "Why don't you come on downstairs for dinner?" Deity nodded and watched him as he walked away down the hall. As she left her room she was bum rushed by Elodea.
"Isn't he cute! Oh well I guess you can't really say him being your cousin and all but man, I'd like to jump his bones!" Deity laughed at this comment as Elodea pulled her down the stairs towards the dinning room. As the two girls entered the room they noticed they were the last to arrive. Deity sat next to her mother who was chatting with her aunt Noin. A man with long platinum blonde hair, much like her bleached framing strands, sat next to her aunt. He had a slight resemblance to her mother and she put two and two together rather quickly. The boy who was her cousin sat on the other side of her uncle. She studied the boy taking in all of his features. His raven black hair, which resembled his mothers, was pulled back into a ponytail and he wore a rather regal outfit much like his father wore. She leaned over to her mother, "What are they wearing?"
Relena looked at her daughter and answered, "Those are the official suits for the Peacecraft male, Don't worry I won't make you wear the female attire." Deity sighed in relief as she looked around the table. All the new faces were smiling except for the two Chinese and the Yuy family. Deity stared at Guy who sat directly across from her. She watched him as he took a sip from his wineglass and began to cut his food. A sharp elbow to her side caused he rot glare at Elodea.
"Ow hey what was that for?"
"Your food was falling out of your wide opened mouth," she said gesturing towards Guy. Deity blushed and elbowed her back. Elodea giggled and handed her the rolls.
~~*~~*~~*~~
"No absolutely NOT! I will not have my daughter get involved in this, I will not lose the one last thing I have of Duo!"
"Relena you must understand to reason…" Milliardo began was stopped as she raised her hand to silence him.
"You of all people should not be asking to take her away! Do you want to take another one from my life, DO you Milliardo?" Milliardo sat down in his seat shocked by the pain in her voice. She turned her back to him and wiped the tears that had fallen down her face. "She will NOT learn how to use a mobile suit, let alone a gundam!"
"Why don't you let her make that choice!" Relena turned and glared at Heero. He stayed cool and stared right back. "Or are you afraid she's as head strong as her Father was!"
"I know she's as head strong as Duo, but I'm her mother and I know what's best for her!" Heero leaned against the bookshelf behind him and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Let her make that choice Relena, I don't presume to know what she's like, but if she is anything like Duo was…" he trailed off not needing to complete the sentence. Relena bowed her head in frustration and defeat. Heero looked over at his son who stood in the corner of the room. Guy nodded and headed out of the room to find Deity.
~~*~~*~~*~~
Deity stared at the sky and marveled at the stars. There where so many and from the colonies the moon was so close. This was her first time in space and she was enjoying herself. A noise in the garden in front of her brought her back to reality. She saw a shadow move through the trees just a few feet in front of her. Letting her curiosity get the best of her she headed towards the trees. As she reached them she peered into the thick grouping of trees trying to see through them. A flash of movement caught her attention and she headed towards the left. A cold wind blew form nowhere on her neck and she felt the goose bumps cover her body.
"Deity, my how you've grown," the voice was eerie yet soothing at the same time.
"Who are you, show yourself!" As she spoke these words a form appeared in front of her. A figure in a long hooded cape that flapped in the sudden wind stood before her. As he removed the hood she gasped at his face. It was him her father, Duo Maxwell. "But you're dead." The apparition smiled slightly and took a step towards her.
"My beautiful girl, I'm so proud of you Deity…Deity…Deity…"
"DEITY!" Deity sat up straight from her lying position on the soft grass. "Deity you're wanted inside!"
"I'M COMING COLIN…man what a weird dream." As she got up o leave she took one last look at the thicket of trees. Shaking her head she headed back towards the mansion where Colin was waiting for her. As she left a pair of violet eyes watched her leave. He was so proud of the young girl, he had watched her since the day of her birth, and he would watch her through the difficult journey she was about to take. Duo Maxwell sighed and pulled his cape back over his head and disappeared into the night back to his resting place…for now.
