Love and Tragedy
Chapter 5
Written By BrittanyRae
A silent figure opened the closet and found the keepsake box he'd seen Relena hide in there. In a matter of seconds he'd picked the lock and opened the box. Inside there were a few letters from someone named Millardo and a Jewish cross of David necklace.
At the sound of the explosion Hallie awoke with a start and jumped out of the arms of the man who'd been carrying her. She looked at the young man with the odd bangs and Allie uniform and glared.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Trowa Barton and yours?"
"Hallie Yuy. You're the one who shot our train aren't you?"
"Yes but it was unintentional I hadn't counted on your pilot being so fast."
"Where are you from?"
"Originally Italy but I left for America when Hitler took control."
"So you're a traitor to your country? Why'd you leave?"
"That's your opinion. I left because I didn't approve of the massacre killings of Jews. If I stayed and fought to save them I'd be killed quicker."
"Everyone else in the train is dead. I'm the only survivor aren't I?"
Trowa didn't say anything but his eyes told her that the answer to her question was yes. Hallie looked around in despair. She was stuck in the middle of nowhere with an enemy soldier!
"Come with me. We'll get a doctor to look at you and make sure that you didn't inhale any poisonous gases when you breathed in all that smoke." Trowa offered.
Hallie became suspicious.
"Why'd you save me?" she questioned him.
"Would you have rather I let you die?"
"No, but I'm your enemy!"
"You're a soldier?"
"No!"
"Have you ever killed any one?"
"No!"
"Then what have you done to make you my enemy?"
Hallie just looked at him in awe. His logic was almost dizzying. It threw everything her parents had taught her out the window. What was he saying?
"Come on," Trowa continued. "You really should see a doctor."
Quietly Hallie followed him to his plane and boarded it with him. The trip was silent until Trowa asked simply,
"Why do you hate the Jews?"
Hallie recited everything her mother and father had told her,
"They're trying to steal our land. They want to take over the world. They worship the devil…" and on with such pitiful reasons.
"Have you ever even met a Jew?" Trowa interrupted.
"Well, no. Why?" Hallie was confused.
Why should that matter?
"Just wondering."
Commander Zechs Marquise silently opened the top desk drawer of the general and saw before him battle strategies for the next skirmish. After he finished copying it he returned the plans to the drawer. Then he left the camp- a spy for the Allies was supposed to meet him by the riverside in fifteen minutes.
Hilde looked at Duo lying on the floor sleeping soundly and smiled. She still didn't know how he'd done it but he'd talked his superiors into letting her stay there until she found somewhere safe to live and some work. It had been three weeks and Hilde finally had an idea for a job she might be able to keep. She sighed and thought about the realization that had hit her last night. She had fallen head over heels for that lighthearted soldier with the long brown braid. Hilde yawned- it was still late at night, pulling the covers over her head Hilde drifted back to sleep.
Wufei looked around him. Soldiers were dropping like flies left and right from both armies. What was the meaning of this battle anyway? Wufei continued fighting unsure whether the battle was to stay alive, save innocent souls, or protect just to prove who's stronger.
Relena returned from the library without having found a book to read. She turned on a light, walked over to the closet, and lifted her keepsake box from the shadows. Removing the key from her pocket she unlocked the box to look at the contents she held so dear. Suddenly her heart skipped a beat, the necklace was missing! Her star of David- where could it have gone? Beginning to panic Relena's heart started racing. The next thing she knew the door to her bedroom closed and Heero Yuy stepped out from behind the door.
"Looking for something?" he said dangling the necklace from his index finger.
Relena gasped,
"What are you doing in here?"
"What's a supposedly Christian girl doing with the Jewish symbol on a necklace?"
Relena heard her brother's parting words echo in her head. Raising her head defiantly she looked at Heero and said,
"My name is Relena Peacecraft. I am Jewish. Your fellow soldiers took my parents and for all I know they could be dead. Are you going to kill me?"
In answer to her question Heero raised a gun and aimed in at her head.
Meanwhile Zechs arrived at the designated meeting spot and waited. Much to his surprise out of the shadows stepped young woman.
"Follow me. Someone might have followed you." She whispered.
Zechs followed her throughout the darkness of the woods until they came to a small cave. In front of the cave she turned to him and said,
"Don't repeat anything I tell you."
"What is your name?" he asked.
"Just call me Noin, that will do for now."
"And you can call me Zechs."
"You said you had battle plans?"
"Yes here they are." And he handed the plans to Noin.
