Chapter 9

By The Pretty Penwriter

"I have no idea what's wrong with her…she has anger we'd better watch her." Quatra said looking from the door to down the hallway.

Releana couldn't believe Cressa took her here of all places but then how would Cressa know anything…I never told her about this place I kept it bottled in she thought she made an angry sound.

"I can't stay here…but I want to see my brother tell him I'm okay." Releana said to herself as she paced the room

"And I've miss all of them so much…why am I resisting so much?" she asked herself

She sat down in a chair in the corner and pulled her knees up to her chest, she rested her head on her knees and looked out the window into the rain.

Cressa ran for less than 2 minutes or so when she found herself in an empty room she sat down on the hospital bed in the dark and pulled herself into a tight ball hugging her knees.

"Releana why are you so angry?" she asked out loud.

"Who am I where am I from and who were my parents are they still alive?" she asked herself she closed her eyes as the tears slid past her eyes.

Heero couldn't believe what she did and what she said he was stunned beyond belief he glanced at his now bandaged wrist and winced he shook his head.

"We should tell Milliardo." Trowa said silently from the wall he was leaning against.

"Yes I guess we should Quatra you do it." Duo said

"But why me?" he asked

"Because you're the nice guy you gotta do it." Duo said

"Well you know what Duo that's what you think and it's not a very intelligent thought you don't know me at all." Quatra snapped at him and walked down the hallway the same route Cressa had taken.

"Well Maxwell you have a big mouth, go for it." Wufei taunted

"Fine." Duo said gruffly and flipped out his cell phone.

Milliardo picked up his cell phone quickly before it could wake his sleeping daughter.

"Yeah…hold on." he answered as he opened the door and silently stepped out into the hallway closing the door softly.

"Go ahead Duo." He said into the phone listening intently his lips turning up into a smile with every word.

"You mean it, she's there." He asked excited

"I think I can manage to make it there but I don't want to leave Lucy or Lena alone…can you maybe get her to come here?" he asked.

Milliardo nodded "Thank you Duo good bye." He said and flipped the phone shut.

"Releana you're finally home." Milliardo murmured as tears shone in his eyes.

"Rei…you have failed us on both occasions…but it is understandable they were trained so your punishment will be lenient…this will now be your permanent case." A female said

"yes ma'am." Rei said and saluted and turned to leave

"Oh and Rei don't fail us again please." A male voice said in a crisp tone that made her flinch

"Yes sir." She said softly and continued limping down the hallway.

Cressa sat up from laying on the bed and looked around she panicked for a moment then remembered where she was and calmed down she must've fallen asleep she quietly slipped out the room and back to Releana's room.  The four Quatra, Heero, Duo and Wufei were still standing there Cressa looked around for Quatra and saw him silently sitting reading a book she breathed a small sigh of relief Cressa noticed Heero had a bandaged wrist.

"You grabbed her arm didn't you…one thing you should know she's always ready to attack…I taught her that." Cressa said proudly and smirked as she saw them jump.

Quatra stood up and handed her a tissue "You've been crying." He simply said gently

Cressa was surprised and then remembered she wiped her eyes quickly then threw the tissue in the wastebasket she smiled her thanks then sidestepped them into the room.

They waited patiently outside to hear the yelling and shouting but none came.

They were surprised what happened to all that anger from before?

Releana turned to face Cressa and gave her a sheepish grin.

"Cressa I'm sorry…I forgot myself I've never told you why I don't want to be here in fact I don't really know myself." Releana apologized.

"It's okay and Releana someone is trying to kill you so I think you're safer here and I trust Quatra…you and him are the only two I do trust." She said

"But Cressa someone is trying to kill you." Releana argued

Cressa made a swiping motion with her hand in the air "It doesn't matter if I die then at least all my answers will be answered besides who will miss me if no one knows who I am." Cressa shrugged

"How can you say that you're my best friend Cressa if it weren't for you then I wouldn't have survived the compound…" She was interrupted

"Nonsense you made it by your sheer will and determination not because of me Releana it was all you." Cressa stated

"Cressa you don't care for your life?" Releana asked

Cressa shook her head "I have no life." She replied robotically

"Yes you do Cressa you have a personality you always have an opinion about something it doesn't matter if you have a name or not…I think you should talk to Trowa, Heero and Duo none of them have names but they are alive and they admit that they are alive and so are you." Releana argued her mouth set in a determined line.

"Is that so Releana Peacecraft they have a place in life and I do not if my life ended the world would not change and no one would miss me so I am not alive." Cressa said nonchalantly as if it didn't matter

"That's a lie Cressa I'd miss you and I'm sure Jo…Quatra will miss you." Releana said almost saying Jonathan

Cressa grabbed both of Releana's arms tightly

"What happened to Jonathan he's like a father to me…what happened!" she demanded

Her grip tightened but it didn't bother Releana she looked away from the wall and into Cressa's gray eyes now overcome with grief and heartache.

"H…he was shot by Rei…I'm sorry he didn't make it Cressa." Releana said solemnly

Cressa released Releana and tightened her hands into fists so tight they turned pale and blood started to drip from her nails digging into her skin.

"She will die." Cressa said in a voice so cold it frightened Releana.  Cressa turned to the door she opened it and stormed out.

Releana ran after her and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"No don't do it they'll kill you before you even get ten feet Cressa he wanted you to live not throw your life away." Releana exclaimed the four men looked at the spectacle none made a move.

"What life…let go." Cressa said

"No you're my friend and think Cressa think this is stupid." Releana pleaded

Cressa opened one palm and slapped Releana so hard that she stumbled back blood smeared on Releana's face.

Cressa glared at her "It's not stupid it's called revenge and I will avenge his death and no one is going to stop me." She said through gritted teeth glaring at all of them.

"You know what you are stupid Cressa you're going to go kill yourself it's suicide will getting yourself killed bring him back huh? Will getting yourself killed help anyone else will it if you think that it will than you are stupid!" Releana exclaimed

"No but it sure will make me feel a whole lot better once that bitch is dead and I know where she is." Cressa said and turned back down the hallway she began walking.

"Dammit! You're a damned fool!" Releana shouted her fist in the air she quickly spun around her hair waving and grabbed Heero's gun from the holster she ran behind Cressa and clunked her behind the head with the butt of the gun.

"You think that will stop me." Cressa said softly

Releana pushed her and she crumpled to the ground.

"Wish you hadn't made me do that." Releana murmured as she slumped in a chair.

"What the hell was that about!" exclaimed Duo

Quatra stepped forward and checked on Cressa she wasn't bleeding from the knock on the head only unconscious.

"I didn't severely hurt her Quatra I know what is a killing blow and what is not." Releana murmured and sighed

Releana got off the chair and kneeled on the floor in front of Cressa wiping some stray hairs out of her face gently.

"I'm sorry." She apologized.

Quatra picked Cressa up and carried her into the room.

"Okay…what the hell was that about?" Duo asked again

Releana didn't reply she only walked back into her room they heard the sink on.

Releana turned to Quatra he was sitting in the chair his hands clasped and resting under his chin he was thinking the gun rested on the nightstand beside him.

"And what pray tell is on your mind Quatra?" Releana asked

"Nothing." He mumbled

"Yeah sure." Releana shrugged she began to unravel the bandage around her forehead.

"Releana you shouldn't do that." He said

"Well you shouldn't watch people while they're sleeping but there you are…besides it's not serious only a little bump I've had plenty of them."  Releana said and finished unraveling the wrap throwing it into the trashcan.

"I'm not watching her Releana I'm thinking about why you didn't return any earlier." Quatra said.

Releana let out a long exasperated sigh and closed the door in Heero's face.

"I don't know why…actually yes I do I…I loved Heero and maybe I still do I was miserable without him and being that close to him made me even more miserable.  I turned to destroying myself Quatra I drank, I took dangerous risks of driving my car at speeds up to 110 miles per hours, I was slowly deteriorating and when I was kidnapped and the world thought me dead I finally felt free Quatra. Do you know how it feels to be free, no I suppose you don't but I felt like I could do anything and begin a new life. My personality changed my body and my mind changed nothing was the same Quatra and I liked it that way and when I saw my niece I felt such a happiness but then it all came crashing down from then, every moment I spend here with Heero right outside the hallway I can feel my heart and lungs constricting I fell trapped like a caged bird." She explained hoping he had words of wisdom.

"Releana…you can't keep running away like this…the only way for the pain to stop Releana is for you to talk to Heero." Quatra said softly looking her in her indigo eyes.

Releana smirked, "How'd I know you'd say that?" she asked

Quatra shrugged and smiled "Guess I'm too predictable." He said

Releana stood and walked to the door.

"Naw Quatra it was unpredictable of you to have a crush on Cressa." She said before she opened the door and closed it.

Quatra stared after her I don't have a crush on Cressa…at least I don't think so he thought.

Releana stepped out in the hallway and smiled she sighed and leaned against the door.

"Releana are you okay?" Duo asked

She ran into him plowing him with a hug surprising him but he wasn't too surprise to hug her back.

"Hey what happened to the mean Releana?" he asked softly

"She's on vacation." She joked

"Sorry." She added

She ended the hug and smiled at him she turned and held her hand out to Wufei to her surprised he took it and pulled her into a hug.

"It's good to see you alive." He simply said and ended the short embrace

Releana turned to Trowa he took her hand and bowed he nodded his head she understood and smiled and nodded her own. Then she turned to Heero and tilted her head to the side.

"It's been a long time Heero." She greeted with a ghost of a smile.

Heero smiled widely.

"Well where is my family?" she asked

Quatra came out the room and closed the door.

"A top secret location Releana where they're out of danger." Duo said in a serious tone.

"Yeah well I'm not gonna be cooped up ya know I can't be cooped up I'm a free spirit right." She said

Quatra laughed, "Is that so Ms. Peacecraft." He asked humorous

"Yeah got a problem with that Mr. Winner?" she joked back and smirked

Suddenly a grumbling noise was heard.

"Whoa how long has it been since I've eaten…" she said as she started counting off her fingers.

"About four days or more how about being a gentleman for once Wufei and come with me to get something to eat…you're paying right?" she asked as she hooked her arm through his and practically dragged him down the hallway.

"Sheesh what happened to Releana?" Duo asked

"Things change." Quatra said with a shrug.

"She sure knows how to fight." Trowa stated

"I think she always knew how." Duo mentioned

There was a thumping sound in the room they turned to the door Heero was the first to the door and threw it open the bed was empty, the gun that was on the night stand was gone and the window was open.

"Oh no." grumbled Duo

"Do we have to go look for her I mean we found Releana right." He asked

"Yes Duo we do someone is trying to kill her too you know and Releana would probably break our bones if she found out we didn't go look for her." Heero said

"You think she would?" Duo asked

Heero held up his wrist as an example Duo gulped

Cressa hugged herself with her arms to keep warm she didn't know it was this cold the gun was tucked in her pants she smirked Releana really thought that had knocked her out…she was truly gullible Cressa stopped for a second and stared at the starry sky. Quatra likes me she thought to herself she didn't know how that made her feel. She continued looking at the sky and not where she was going when she bumped into someone, a woman and knocked down her groceries a woman who was old enough to be her mother.

"I'm sorry miss I wasn't looking where I was going." She apologized as she helped the woman gather her belongings

"It's okay dear to tell the truth I wasn't looking either." She admitted when they finished placing the items back in the woman's basket it was then they both looked up at each other. The woman had deep reddish brown hair and soft jade eyes her jade eyes looked at her horrified.

"Juliana I'm sorry oh I'm so sorry I didn't know it was you." The woman said panicked

"Wait a minute miss I'm no one important…" Cressa said

"You look just like them and I'd know those eyes anywhere Juliana I'd know them any where." She stated firmly

TBC

"What the hell is going on!"

Releana walks into the room tripping over and unconscious Wufei.

"I don't know you're the author." Muttered Releana

"I don't know anything."

"That's for damn sure." Growled Heero

"You know what shut up."

"No." They say in unison.

"Rackin Frackin son of a…"
