Disclaimer: I don't own SM, or GW, but
I do believe that we've already established that! Now, here is the long-awaited
chapter 9! I'm so happy FF.net works now! hehehe! Sorry if Heero is a little
Out of character! ^^;;;;;;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero
pushed his weight against the large piece of rubble. "I...can't...push...it..."
He gasped, his breath escaping him. Just then, he heard a low rumbling noise at
his back. Turning, he saw a pair of bright green eyes emerging from the
shadows.
"I
knew you'd be back for the girl someday." The pissed off voice greeted him. And
pissed off it was, after all, she was very angry at being woken by the loud
sounds of the mobile suits engaging in battle.
Heero's
eyes widened. "Haruna...?!" He blankly said, in a bit of shock. Stopping the
pushing of the rock, he turned to stare at the green eyes in the shadows.
"That's
me." The firgure of a large silver wolf came out of the darkness. There was a
smirk on her face, a deadly smile. "Where's my mistress?" She growled. "Tell
me, or I'll tear you apart." Haruna threatened bluntly. Bearing her teeth,
ready to do so. Heero stepped aside, revealing the large debris, and the pale
hand. The eyes of the wolf clouded for a second, but soon became normal as she
snapped at Heero in rage, and started heaving her body's weight against the
rubble. "Don't just stand there!" She
looked at him accusingly. "Help me free her!"
Quickly
shaking his head free from shock, he prepared to help the silver wolf. "Push!"
She commanded, and he made sure to do so, for more reasons than the fear of
being torn apart limb from limb. But because of the fear of being torn apart
from the only girl he'd ever felt strange feelings for. Eventually, the rock
fell off of the pale girl, who's golden locks fell around her face in a wild
maddness, and who's body seemed crushed against the earth, helplessly limp.
Heero
rushed to the girl's side, taking her up in his arms. "Don't die now, Aurelia!
Don't leave me yet! I don't even know who you really are! Please! Please,
Aurelia! Give me the chance to find out who you are! Why I feel like I do
around you!" He put his head against her chest, and felt the faint beating of
her heart. "She's alive!" He cried joyfully!
"But
she's dying." Haruna mused, glaring up at the brown haired boy holding the only
person she ever had, and still did, trust. "Now! Get her some help!" The wolf
told him, looking up with saddness and fear in her eyes, but a blank face. "Go
before it's too late." Heero nodded, the look of challenge in his foggy blue
eyes. He turned, and ran. Neither looking behind him, nor in front.
'That
boy will kill her one day." Haruna sighed, and turned to follow Heero down the
tunnel of darkness she had emerged from. She walked limply, and slowly. Her
silver fur was wet and matted from her sweat of frustration. Bright green eyes
seemed to lose their shine, and were down cast. Soft silver ears were folded
down in saddness and annoyance. She was in a very bedraggled state for such a
proud creature.

Aurelia
woke to find herself in a white, clean room. It was moderately cool, since
there were light breezes coming in through the opened window, making the pure white
curtins fly around, as if they were trying to escape from the hooks that held
them. Her golden hair, that was let out of it's braid, was flapping against her
face, almost like she was at the beach, watching the tide, and taking in the
sea breeze. Her body was captured in a loose white nightgown, and she, herself,
was now sitting up in a small bed donned with snow white sheets and a single
feather pillow. The walls matched everthing else color wise. There was also a
white table to her left with a heart moniter, making sure that she was alive,
and a smaller white nightstand with a lamp and a glass of water on it.
"Oh!
So you're awake!" Aurelia turned to look at the doctor on her left with those
large blue eyes of hers. "Let's see...great! You should be able to leave in a
few days!" He turned to look at the golden girl, a smile spread across his
face.
Heero
sat in the waiting room fiddling with the sterling silver locket in the palm of
his hand. Fingering the silver surface, he noticed the word Butterfly was
engraved on the heart shaped locket. The words 'My little Butterfly' seemed to flow with the wind that blew
past him, it lifted strands of his brown hair, then let them fall in a messy
fashion.
"You
can see her now." The doctor grinned, showing his white teeth and extending his
hand. Heero briskly walked past him, and closed the door in the man's face with
a slight chuckle.
"Hey."
He greeted the confused girl. She looked blankly at him and blinked her large
blue eyes at him questioningly. "Don't you remember me? You met me a few hours ago! I'm Heero!"
Aurelia continued to blankly stare at him, her eyes scanning his every feature,
almost thoughtfully. Suddenly, she let out a gasp and hid herself under the
white sheet.
"What
do you want with me this time, Odin?" She meekly mumbled. Heero (Or should we
say Odin?) stepped back, his wide eyes at her referance to him soon turned into
smiling ones. He walked over to her bad hiding place and pulled the sheets off
her. In response, Aurelia winced, and put her hands in front of her, as if she
was trying to shelid herself.
"I'm
not going to hurt you." Heero reasured her, his kind voice dug into her heart.
Putting her hands down, and looking up, she caught his eyes and held them. The
tendernous of the way she looked at him made him smile, with both his eyes and
his mouth. "Why would I hurt the one I love?" He asked the girl, who's eyes
widened in surprise.
"How
can you love me? You only met me!" She twitched with uncertinty. "I...I don't
know you!" She whispered to herself. "I...I hate you for what you did to me!"
Her whispers turned into snarling. Heero was taken aback. Deep eyes shone with
confidence before it was demanded, and turned him away from her.
"Your
hostility will hurt you." He mumbled to her. Turning towards the door. "You
need to give people a chance before you chase them away." With those words, he
stomped out the hospital door, slamming it shut.
His
words scared her, and made her feel more lonely than ever. "Why do I always
have to be saved?" She thought aloud. "I can take care of myself. I don't need
any foes of mine saving my skin."
************************************************************************************
Quatre
was celebrating his 16th birthday, and had invited Aurelia and his other
friends, includung Zechs and Relena.
"What
a lovely party!" Zechs exclaimed, entering the large ballroom with his younger
sister. His military assemble appeared to be a suitable dress for the party. No
mask covered his handsome face and baby blue eyes, and his long blond hair
streamed down his back, making him look stunning indeed. His sister, on the
other hand, was in a blue short sleved gown that matched her eyes. It was more
of a traditional ball gown, with the flaring skirt and diamonds sown into it,
but since almost everybody was wearing something of the same sort, she blended
in quite nicely. Her honey blonde hair was done in it's usual way, and there
was a gold locket around her neck with the word 'Ladybug' engraved into it.
"Where's
Heero?" She querried, happily looking about her for the brown haired boy of her
dreams.
"Wherever
you aren't." Her brother replied jokingly, and had himself a hearty laugh over
his jest. Strutting around like a peacock while his sister went off to look for
Heero, Zechs bumped into Quatre, who was escorting the beautiful Aurelia
around. "Ah! There you are! And who is this beauty you have with you?" Zechs
looked her up and down. She was dressed anything but simply (Considering that
Quatre got the outfit for her) in a white gown with sapphires the same shade of
her eyes sown into the top part of her gown which was a tube top. Strands of
pearls were embroidered into the skirt of her dress, and diamonds were at sown
in at the hem of the flaring skirt. The
long golden locks of hair were put up into a bun, with curled strands hanging
out, framing her lovely, creamy face. There were white flowers and pearls
adorned in her hair, and her straped high healed sandles where also a white
color. All and all, this gown made her look like she was going to be married.
"She's
stunning!" Zechs commented on Aurelia. "May I ask your ladyship's name?" He
politely asked, Taking one of her white gloved hands and kissing it
affectionately.
She
blushed in reply. "Aurelia." She whispered. "It's Aurelia." He smiled, and
looked up. He then noticed her silver locket. Quickly dropping her hand, he
took her locket up.
"Where
did you get this?" Blue eyes widened examining the inscription 'Butterfly' in
shock and intrest.
"I...I've
had it since before I can remember!" Aurelia exclaimed. Zechs frantically
opened the locket, and beheld the picture of his mother. Even if he only had
been 4 or 5 at the time, Zechs seemed to remember quite well his last day with
his mother, and only day with his sister, Serena.
"That's
your mother?" He asked cooly.
"I
don't see why it concerns you."
"It
does."
"Why,
then?"
"Because,
she's my mother too." He looked up at her. "And if she is your real mother, and
if you are who I think you are, then your name is Serena Peacecraft. And you
are of royal blood. And my little sister."
