Hidy-ho people! I'm so happy people are reviewing my story! And as an
answer to some questions on Candidate Gundam, I'm in a big writers' block
on that one so while I think it out, I'm writing this one! If anyone has
any ideas for that story, email me and tell!
OH! And I'm gonna call the ambassador Frank, 'cause he needs a name!
**********************************
Last time:
"Where's the girl." He demanded.
"Girl, what girl? I have been alone since you left five minutes ago."
**~**
Heero grunted but shut the door and walked away, thinking only to himself. Back inside the room, Frank sighed a breath of relief and turned back to the window, "Il deporte.*"
The shadowy figure leapt into the room and faced Frank. Even though the person was in the shadows, he could see they were wearing black pants and a black shirt with a red trench coat. The sleeves were rolled up and a set of finger gloves was dawned on their hands. This person was definitely female, but her hair and face was hidden, "I didn't think he'd be out there." She stated in english.
Continuing the dialect, Frank smiled, "I can see why you spoke so highly of him."
She nodded her head, "I'll be around." With that, she disappeared out the window.
*~*~*~*~*
Back with the others, Heero entered the room they were all sitting in with a newly arrived Hilde, "So how's our French man doin'?" Duo asked, taking Hilde's hand in his own.
"I don't trust him." He stated bluntly.
"Why is that?" Quatre asked.
"He was speaking to someone in his room, but lied about it." He answered before sitting down in a chair, silent.
"We'll keep an eye on him," Trowa stated, "I have a feeling something big is about to happen." Outside the window, distant clouds began rolling in over the horizon.
*~*~*~*~*
Later that evening, everyone retired to their rooms to prepare for dinner. Hilde was in her room that she shared with Duo, brushing her wet, short hair; recently have taking a shower. She hummed as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, 'Oh Relena. Why did you have to go on that trip?' She wondered, staring at a picture of herself and the vice foreign minister at the zoo, smiling with their arms across each other's shoulders.
Outside, rain poured heavily as lightning cracked and thunder roared. Drowned out by the rainfall, soft footsteps pattered all about the mansion and green eyes illuminated the shadows.
*~*~*
Downstairs, everyone had grouped except for Hilde. They all sat in the dining room around a large rectangular table with Milliardo and Noin at the head. Everyone held their own conversations while Heero remained quiet and facing the window. Suddenly, he saw something move outside the window. Thinking it was his imagination, he shook it off, but then; he saw it again!
Heero realized what was out there and glared, "Quiet." He stated lowly. Even though the conversations were loud, everyone had grown a knack for picking up Heero's soft voice for when he spoke, it was usually important.
"What is it?" Quatre asked.
"Not sure. Assassins, attackers, could be either." Heero commented, staring out the window where he could see the faintest green glowing eyes.
"Hilde!" Duo exclaimed. He moved to stand up but Heero motioned for him to sit.
"If they're here, they probably have the whole house surrounded and know she's alone." Heero cursed at his own weakness. He didn't even think to scan the house for break-ins earlier.
"Shit." Duo cursed.
"What do they want?" Milliardo asked the general question which was on everyone's mind.
"Probably one of us, leaving a message." Heero responded coldly. Suddenly, the entire mansion rumbled and the sky lit up outside with burning reds and oranges.
"The west wing." Noin breathed.
"HILDE!" Duo cried and leapt up. Everyone ran outside, knowing that the attackers had fled after a successful mission, or so they thought. They ran into the rain, guns loaded and ready only to find the West Side of the house in flames, "Hilde." Duo whispered brokenly and fell to his knees.
They all knew that no one could have survived that blast. As Heero looked around for any signs of stragglers, his eyes caught something in the air. He looked up and it appeared to be some type of figure, leaping away from the fire. He was beginning to follow it with a determined face.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Frank saw it too and panicked, 'Zut**!' He did the first thing that he thought of. He fell to the ground in moaning and agonizing pain. Everyone quickly circled around him to find out what was wrong with the French ambassador. Out of the corner of his eye, Frank saw Heero turn to stare at him. When he turned back around to follow the figure, it was gone; out of sight.
Frank smiled slightly and continued his charade, rolling in the mud, under the rain, 'Quelqu'un va me devoir un nouveau costume***.' He thought.
*~*~*~*~*
Minutes earlier, a shadowed figure sat in a tree outside Hilde's room, watching both the girl and the men scampering all around the mansion, 'Just what are they up to?' The figure wondered.
Then, when the first explosion rocked the west side, the figure immediately sat up and leapt out of the shelter of the tree and into the rain. They flew through the window, shattering glass across the floor. Smoke and flames had already taken the room hostage and the figure found their senses clouded. Suddenly, they heard a coughing sound from the corner of the room. Turning, the person found Hilde in the right corner of the room, by her toppled over chair.
The figure ran over to her side, "Hilde! Hilde!" The figure, now obviously female and the same one from earlier; shook the drowsy girl.
Hilde peeked through her eyes and up at the figure, "H-Help me, please." She coughed before growing unconscious. The girl scanned Hilde's body up and down to find her arm bent at an odd angle and some minor cuts, but other than that, she would be fine.
She scooped Hilde up into her arms and began to leave the room when the second explosion went off and debris began falling. Quickly as possible, the shaded girl bounded through the broken window and into the storm. The rain began to clear her senses up and she was able to feel eyes watching her from below, 'Heero.' She thought, not having to look down to know he was following her.
She then heard Frank's moaning and smiled to herself, "Merci, Frank." She whispered and continued to leap from tree to tree and away from the mansion where fire trucks had begun accumulating.
At the same time, Hilde regained her consciousness for a brief moment. She looked up at the hidden figure's face but was able to see a few strands of honey blonde hair, 'Relena?' She thought before sleep claimed her.

So I finally got to writing with this story again, but for a 411, it might not be finished for a loooooong time. I have some ideas now but not for an ending.
OH! And I'm gonna call the ambassador Frank, 'cause he needs a name!
