Chapter 3
By The Pretty Penwriter
Cressa had now been watching over Releana for two and a half years now this woman had determination she blocked the kick that Releana had just launched at her it nearly made her lose her balance she smiled Releana was finally learning how to put power behind a kick Releana threw a punch at Cressa who ducked and punched Releana in the gut it nearly knocked the wind out of her Releana stopped for a moment to gain her breath and then started to move dizzily Cressa approached her.
"Lena are you…" she couldn't finish before Releana delivered a roundhouse kick knocking Cressa down. Cressa smirked and wiped the dribble of blood from her lips she jumped back up and flipped landing behind Releana and kicked her Releana was hurled across the room and landed with a thud on the mat as the buzzer sounded the sparing session was over for now. Cressa walked over and reached her hand out to Releana who accepted it.
"Releana you have reminded me of a lesson…never underestimate your opponent." Cressa said as she pulled Releana up.
"Well you're still better than me Cressa… I won't ever be as good as you." Releana admitted
"You will…but not if you're so distracted all the time." Cressa said
Releana frowned so she had noticed that she was troubled
The two sat over on a bench to rest for a while.
"So…" Cressa started as she gently nudged Releana with her elbow
Releana first looked around the huge training room this was a different base than from the one she had first arrived at it was scary to think that these people had more than one base. She looked at Cressa the girl she had once thought cold and brutal was actually nice, kind and funny but she could not show her real personality to her subordinates or they wouldn't respect her orders.
" My brother married Lucretzia Noin a few years ago and this week their first child will be born my niece or nephew…I would like to she them." She explained
Cressa crossed her arms over her chest and thought she lowered her gaze and frowned then suddenly smiled and looked over to Releana.
"I got it…but we have to ask Jonathan for leave." She said
Releana looked skeptical about that.
"Oh come on you know he'll let us leave if it will improve your training." Cressa said
Releana sighed she really didn't like Jonathan he was kind of weird
"Okay I guess." Releana said
They stood up and walked to Jonathan's office Cressa lightly knocked on the door.
"Come in." a voice said
Cressa and Releana entered the office and closed the door he looked up from his paper work.
"Yes what is it that I can help you with?" he asked as an eyebrow rose
"Well Jonathan a factor is interfering with Releana's training and in order for us to resume training we will need leave for a few days." Cressa explained
"Uh huh and what is it that you will need to do?" he asked
"Releana has to see her new born family member or else she will be further distracted." Cressa explained
The man nodded thinking this over "Okay you'll have two days no more no less because as soon as you return you will have a mission…and give Releana a disguise." He agreed
Cressa "Okay dad." She joked then smirked and turned leaving the room Releana behind her.
"So Cressa where are we going?" Releana asked
"To see your family." She answered
Releana's face brightened with joy as she hugged Cressa who only grinned
"Hey come on I've got a rep to protect ya know." Cressa said while laughing
Releana let go of Cressa and walked down the hallway with her. "Hey but what are we going to wear we'll be a bit conspicuous if we show up in these." Releana said gesturing to her outfit a pair of dark green fatigues a tight black short sleeve shirt with a black thin vest and black combat boots her waist long hair pulled into a ponytail.
Cressa frowned "um then I guess we'll have to buy something when we get there but I have only two pairs of jeans we can wear the same shirts." Cressa said
"Yeah I have like 600 bucks in my wallet how much do you have?' she asked
"I don't know but we can always steal some money from someone's bank account." Cressa mentioned
"Right…someone rich…how about Milliardo's…I know his number." Releana said
"Shame on you stealing from your own brother." Cressa joked
Releana laughed with her as they walked down to Cressa room.
"Let's leave as soon as we change and get some plane tickets." Releana said
"Eager to get there are ya?" Cressa asked
"Well of course." Releana said with a smirk.
"Wait we have to make a pit stop at the supply depot and dye your hair and get you some contacts we can't get any clothes from there though they're only covert ops cloths there and I think wearing all black will scare the kiddies." Cressa said as they turned left heading for the supply depot.
An hour later Releana had dyed black hair and green eyes she and Cressa were dressed almost similar white sneakers jeans and tank tops except Cressa's was a dark red while Releana's was blue. Releana slung the duffle bag with their nightclothes and some of their weapons over her arm.
"Alright we'll take my bike m'kay." Cressa said as they headed up the elevator to the top floor the door opened exposing the bright sunlight they squinted their eyes it had been a while since they had seen natural sunlight they made their way walking for about 8 minutes traveling a kilometer away from the base to Cressa's well hidden motorcycle the two hopped onto the bike and sped off.
After the funeral Heero had set about trying to find Releana he believed that she was still alive that she was somewhere out there he hadn't taken care of himself very well his hair growing almost back length his beard had grown out he hadn't shaven in three weeks that was how long it had been since he left the side of his laptop searching for anything. The words became blurred he blinked and continued working still looking for any leads yeah sure once in a while Duo came over trying to drag Heero outside but with no avail Heero shook his head and asked himself why did I break up with her in the first place? He shrugged his shoulders he didn't know why.
Milliardo smiled as he glanced over at his wife her stomach had ballooned out with carrying their unborn child he rubbed her stomach gently and placed a kiss on her cheek she smiled in her sleep. Milliardo's mood changed from cheerful to sorrow when he thought that it had been two and a half years since the death of his sister and still no body he was beginning to think that she was still alive somewhere out there she was still alive he knew that she was strong maybe she was strong enough to swim against the currents maybe she made it and she just couldn't remember who she was. Milliardo was snapped out of his reverie by Noin grabbing onto his hand tightly he turned to her quickly her face had gone pale and was contorted in pain…she was in labor. His eyes widened as he looked at Noin as he threw the duffel bag they had recently packed over his shoulder and he carried her down the stairs and out the door.
Releana and Cressa arrived in the Cinq Kingdom two hours later Cressa stood there as a strange feeling came over her a feeling of home which was pretty silly since she had been an orphan since she was fifteen and lived no where near the Cinq Kingdom and that was when she joined OZ and when they were defeated she turned and joined the Marimaea army then she joined up with Jonathan it had seemed that as long as she could remember she was fighting. She turned to Releana who looked like she fit right in Releana was looking back at Cressa a weird expression written all over her face. Cressa smiled at Releana to let her know that she was okay Releana nodded at her and they made their way to a small hotel close to the Peacecraft Estate. Cressa checked in with the name Rachel Crofton Releana's disguise name she asked for a room with two beds and that they'd be checking out in two days. Releana and Cressa decided to buy some clothes since they were staying here they already had nightclothes. They left their room when they were greeted by a parade of people dancing down the street Releana tapped one man on the arm.
"Excuse me sir what is happening?" she asked
"The city is in great joy our new princess has been born princess Lena." He answered her and continued down the street.
Releana's face fell she had missed it all.
Cressa placed a hand on her shoulder "Hey we can still go see her come on." She said as they headed towards the hospital
The birth had gone really well Milliardo smiled at his tired wife she was sleeping now and then he looked at the little baby girl he held in his hands she was as beautiful as her aunt was with her blue eyes and pale blonde hair but the doctors said her hair color would dim as she grew older the nurse silently knocked on the door.
"Excuse me sir we have to do our standard check up on her." Said the man in the doorway
Milliardo nodded he handed the infant to the man he placed her on the wheeled bed and wheeled it down the hallway just as Releana and Cressa arrived at the hospital they saw the man wheeling the infant away at an alarming speed towards the exit doors. Releana and Cressa took off after the man running at full speed jumping over anything that got in their way. Cressa grabbed the man by the arm and yanked him while Releana grabbed the baby from the bed. Releana carried the child supporting her head in her arms and looked down at her she looked at the identification tag.
"Well Lena I guess I finally do get to meet you." She said softly as the infant opened her eyes and giggled at Releana
Cressa held the man in a chokehold bending on hand behind his back while she asked the receptionist,
"What room Milliardo is in someone just tried to kidnap his daughter." she nodded and pointed down the hallway.
Releana and Cressa walked back to the room while Releana gently knocked on the door Hilde answered it she saw the baby in Releana's arms and gasped she had her gun out and was pointing it at Releana who didn't panic but calmly replied.
"If I had tried to kidnap this beautiful baby why would I be returning her now that man my friend has in a chokehold is your culprit you should really be more careful."
Hilde stared at her a moment "Do I know you from somewhere…Releana?" she asked as she looked at Cressa.
Cressa was still concentrating on containing the man.
"Releana?" Hilde asked again
Cressa looked up confused "My name is Cressa Wright my name is not Releana." She said her gray eyes looking at Hilde with question
Hilde's face fell that wasn't Releana since Releana's death Hilde had been seeing her everywhere but they were never Releana.
Hilde put her gun away and gestured to hold the baby. Releana handed the small infant to her Milliardo looked up from his wife with a questioning look.
"Milliardo someone tried to kidnap Lena the man over there and these two women stopped him." She explained
Milliardo got out of his seat quickly and Hilde handed the baby back to him as a few tears fell from his eyes.
"Thank you both is there anything I can do to repay you?" he asked
"Nothing for me thank you." Releana said with a smile
"Well this was fun so that's all I needed thank you." Cressa said.
Milliardo turned to look at them but they were gone they only left the man there handcuffed.
"Interesting…" Hilde murmured
"What?" asked Milliardo
"That girl named Cressa looked like Releana maybe…oh never mind." Hilde said frowning becoming lost in her thoughts.
Milliardo stared at the space the two women had once occupied.
Duo came back to the room with a tray of food almost tripping over the man in the hallway he gave a questioning look to Hilde who sighed she unclipped her radio and asked for a crew to come down here and retrieve the criminal.
"I go away for a few minutes and some guy is handcuffed." He said sighing
Cressa glanced over at Releana who had a smile on her face ever since she had held Lena.
"Satisfied?" she asked Releana
Releana nodded smiling Cressa was about to say something else when her cell phones rang she unclipped it from her belt and answered it.
"Hello." She said into the phone
Releana watched her as she nodded and responding with some "okay's" and "uh hum's" she clipped the phone shut and re-clipped it to her pocket she turned to Releana with a grim look on her face.
"we must report back to HQ ASAP Releana I'm afraid we didn't really get to enjoy this vacation." Cressa said shaking her head Releana only nodded and looked at her.
"I understand Cressa but I would like to spend one more day…but we must report back to HQ." Releana said nodding solemnly
"Well lets check out the hotel then lets book a flight we'll get back to base on my bike from the port let's go check out." Cressa said
Releana only nodded her head lowered slightly.
Wufei and Sally were walking down the street directly across from Releana and Cressa.
"So Wufei what info have you gathered on the Harrison case?" she asked nonchalantly.
He shrugged "Nothing but garbage and more things that we don't need this person had a deep past and we'll have to dig a little deeper just to scratch the surface." Wufei answered
Sally smiled and turned her head slightly to look at Wufei when she spotted Releana and Cressa across the street.
"Is that Releana?" Sally asked referring to Cressa.
"It can't be you must be seeing things onna." Wufei said looking around.
Sally pointed her out to him he squinted to see the facial features that Releana had and shook his head.
"No Sally that's not Releana a person that looks damn close but that is not Releana." He said
"Oh." Sally sighed her shoulders sagged a little and her eyes glazed over with a soft coating of tears.
He glanced at her briefly and sighed he felt bad for her and he wanted to hold her…but he and Sally did not have that type of relationship. His own shoulders sagged knowing that he couldn't console her in any type of way.
Back at the hospital
Noin had awakened and was asking some questions like "how was the baby doing?" or "Who rescued her?" and only one of those questions had a really decent answers.
"Okay Hilde but what you're saying is that she's Releana if that's so where has she been what has she been doing and if that truly was Releana then wouldn't one of the townspeople have spotted her out?" Duo asked his wife
"Okay so it was a long shot but she looked enough like Releana to be related." Hilde said
"Hilde do you know how many blonde hair and blue eyed women between the age of 20-21 there are…any number of them could be related to Releana." Duo debated against his wife he was skeptical about what she was saying.
"It wasn't her looks Duo there was this unsure air about her like she knew who she was yet she didn't know and she acted to calm and relaxed here I don't know call it women's intuition." She said a hand resting on her chin she was thinking.
"Okay babe that's what you think and I will respect your decision." Duo said softly staring at her she nodded at him with a small smile on her face.
"Hilde you can't be right because the only living relative that remotely looked like Releana was her cousin but she died a long time ago." Milliardo said from his seat.
"Are you sure about that…. you know you Peacecrafts never die." Noin said quietly they all looked at her unsure.
