*12 hours later in the Gundam mansion*
The first thing Pamela noticed when she woke up was that it was dark.
"Was I really asleep that long?" she asked herself.
"Yes, you were." A voice came out of the shadows.
"Who are you? Why don't you come out so I can see you?"
"Hn."
A figure stepped out of the shadows. His was a small but seemingly strong figure.
I don't think I'd want to be on his bad side, she thought worriedly. He looks extremely dangerous.
"I have to stay here to watch over you. Quatre requested I do this."
"Quatre? He really made you come out here?" Pamela was surprised that Quatre would have that much influence. "What's your name?"
"Heero Yuy. I guess now that you're awake I'll go and get Quatre."
"Before you leave, can you tell me what time it is?"
"8 o'clock."
"Thanks."
Heero melted back into the darkness.
A few minutes later, Quatre quietly crept into the room.
"Are you still awake?"
"Yes. Why did you send him to look after me? He gives me the creeps."
"He's the one that's most likely to protect you if there's trouble."
"What about that dork with the braid?"
"That was Duo. Thanks to you and that incident with that ball or whatever you threw at him, he's been rendered an invalid."
"Oh, well, tell him I said I was sorry, okay?"
"Whatever you want, your majesty."
"What did I do to earn that sarcasm, Quatre? Have I really been that bossy and mean?"
"No. I'm sorry, I didn't really realize what I was saying. It just popped out of my mouth. I didn't mean to."
"You don't have to act as if I'm going to kill you. I'm not that mean—yet."
"What do you mean—yet?"
"What I'm saying is, that if I don't get out of here very soon, I'm going to be very mad."
"You know we can't let you go."
"Why not?"
"You might try to seek revenge."
"If I tell you I won't, will you let me go?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because what?" Pamela was getting exasperated.
"Okay—look. I have my reasons for not telling you, just like you have your reasons for not telling me that secret you're intent on not sharing until you trust me enough."
"Whatever. Hey listen, do you think I can go out and take a walk? I'm sorta bored being stuffed in here for who knows how many days."
"Sure. You don't want me to come with you?"
"No thanks. Not this time."
I wish she'd be more open with me, Quatre thought. I want to get to know her better, but she puts up this kind of barrier whenever someone's around.
"See you later, Quatre."
Quatre sighed as Pamela walked out the door.
