Look! I finally uncover who our mystery person is, even though we all
already know. But have fun and enjoy my insane and twisted mind.
************************
The sun was peeking over the horizon as the last remnants of smoke fizzled into the air. The whole group had clustered back into the building and into the living room. Each person held a woolly blanket around themselves except for Heero who was hunched over his laptop. Duo sat in the corner, shaking his head in denial while Quatre was speaking softly to him, "I still don't get it." Frank stated, "Why did they set off that explosion where Mademoiselle Hilde was?"
"To leave a message." Heero stated monotonously, "But then, you knew that already, didn't you?" He sneered. Frank gulped and the color drained from his face.
"Heero! Watch what you say." Milliardo hissed.
"The same description was given to a group of men that attacked your estate a year ago. They called themselves the Hunters. It says that they were searching for something? What was it? And who was in your room last night?" Heero demanded with a dark glare.
Frank laughed nervously as he began to sweat, "I-uhh-well," For a moment, he was at a loss for words before he regained his composure, "That is a story that is not mine to tell."
In a flash, Duo was out of his seat and in the ambassador's face, "What do you mean 'it's not your story to tell'?! My girlfriend is dead and you can't tell us anything?!" He roared.
Frank's face matched Duo's as he shook his hands away, "Monsieur Maxwell!! It is not my right to tell and I can assure you that all will be revealed soon. Just have patients. I know loosing a loved one is hard." His gaze never wavered as he turned on his heels and stalked out of the room, but he paused as he passed by Heero, "You know what I say." With that, he left.
Heero watched his retreating form, 'What did he mean?' Heero wondered and returned to his typing. As the screen popped up with more information, pictures were added on and Heero stopped at a certain one. It was of a figure soaring through the air, but only a dark outline, "This is it." He stated.
"What is?" Trowa asked as they all gathered around, even the startled Duo.
"I saw this person leaving the explosion sight last night." Underneath the picture, there was a small subtitle that read 'Unknown: ally or enemy'.
*~*~*~*~*
The first thing Hilde saw when her eyes opened was a black rock ceiling. She sat up and looked around; finding herself on a simple foldout bed next to a small dresser. She also realized that she wasn't in any housing facilities but a cave, dark and damp with a small lamp as the only light source. Shifting her arms, she felt her left arm in a sling and wondered why. When she attempted to move it, a burning sensation was sent up her arm, 'Broken.' She thought and let it rest.
On the table next to her were a glass of water and a steaming bowl of soup. She stared, searching for anyone but was unable to find any source of life, "Hello?" She called.
Throwing off her covers, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and was about to stand up when a voice spoke, "I wouldn't do that in your condition." The female voice called warningly. Hilde snapped her head up to discover a girl hidden within the shadows. Her black pants and clunky boots could be seen along with her red trench coat with its sleeves rolled up and shirt but nor her face or hair. Her hands were also covered by her gloves.
"W-Who are you?" She asked nervously.
"Don't worry." The girl said soothingly, but stayed in the shadows, "I'm not going to hurt you, I saved you from the fire."
Hilde's mind flashed back to last night when she was suddenly thrown out of her chair and her room was engulfed by smoke and flames, "Thank you, but where am I?" She asked.
"This," She motioned with her arms, "Is my temporary home. We're about five miles away from the Peacecraft estate."
Hilde tried to see the girls' face but was unable to, "Who are you?" She asked softly.
The girl fidgeted in the shadows and seemed to be quite nervous, "I-I don't think you need to know that." She stated calmly.
The raven haired girl's memory brought her back to that one moment when they were flying through the air, "A-Are you-could you-Relena?" Hilde's voice cracked. She heard the girl mutter some incoherent words before she slowly took a step into the light. She was wearing sunglasses but Hilde could definitely tell by the facial structure that it was Relena, "Oh Relena!" She cried and leapt out of the bed. Hilde ran at full speed towards her thought-to-be-dead friend and encased her in a tight, one handed, hug.
Relena was at a loss for a moment before wrapping her arms around the shorter girl. She smiled gently as Hilde let her tears pour out of her eyes and run down her cheeks, "I've missed you so much!" She sobbed and continued to cry to her hearts' content.
