Chapter Three: Hidden secrets arise
It was a year after the war between the earth and the colonies, and the world was at peace. I read the records since I don't know how it ended and looked up the people who played major roles. Trieze lost his life along with others and Zechs was considered missing in action. I don't know why these names stick out at me but something about them seemed to draw my attention. The gundam pilots helped to bring about the end of the war and a new alliance was formed. The weather turned cold and everyone was ready to share the holidays with family and friends. Well almost everyone. Dakim spent a year retraining me in what I once was and brainwash me to serve him. I have no recollection of my past but dreams of a mysterious man seem to haunt my dreams. I serve under Miss Mariemaia command now and I will follow her every order. A new member by the name of Wufei has joined our ranks but I am not allowed to go near him. I don't know why but that is my orders. He seems familiar to me but I have no recollection to how. I heard there was a disturbance during Dakin's speech but I was not allowed to attend. It is almost like Dakin is trying to keep me from something but I was told to stay by my leader's side. The woman named Relena Dorlin, an ambassador to the colonies, was captured earlier to put the plan in motion but she keeps referring this Heero person who is going to save her. The name seems to spark something inside me but quickly dies away. My duty is to protect Miss Khushrenada and keep on close watch on the ambassador.
I spent a lot of time around Relena and got to know her well. Dakin rarely left me alone but when he did, I would talk to Relena and she would dwell stories on her adventure with the gundam pilots. Sometimes images would come to mind but they were always out of focus. But something was there and it wanted to be released.
"So Delila why do you work for someone like Dakin," Relena asked me once .
"I really don't know but I know I must protect Miss Mariemaia," I replied in a monotone voice. "I must go now but I will be back later."
I returned to my quarters and tried to sleep. Relena's words seemed to ring in my mind and I slowly fell into a deep sleep. I've been having these strange dreams since Relena began telling me her tales but one seemed to stick out in my mind. I appear to be inside a strange room and I can hear voices echo around me.
"Delila, where are you?" I hear a voice call to me. "You said you would come back."
"Who are you," I asked but I receive no answer. Suddenly the scene changes to a field of wild flowers and I can see five figures off in the distance. They seemed to be calling me near but the closer I come the farther they appear. Then the weather turns cold and I appear to be running down a dark alley. A dark figure emerges from the shadows and grabs my arm. I try to run but I can't seem to move. "You thought you could get away," he says, "but you'll never get back to your precious friend, Heero."
"I don't care what you say," I cry, "I will keep my promise." What promise? I don't understand. He hits me on the head and that is where I woke up. The name Heero seems to echo in my mind but I can't seem to figure out why.
After this dream, I began to ask more questions of Relena and tried to learn everything I could about this Heero person. My hope was to finally put an end to these endless dreams but I feel like there is something keeping me from remembering. I know the answers lie out there but as long as Dakim is around I will never know. Everyday I must meet with him and spent four hours discussing my "future" as he puts it but I fill there is another reason to his ways.
"Ah Delila," he replied as I entered, "you are looking well today."
"Why do we have these meeting Dakin," I finally asked one day, "I don't see the reason for this."
"Why my dear we are discussing your future in this army," he replied gesturing me to have a seat. "Now how is our prisoner doing today?"
"Fine, Miss Mariemaia is speaking with her now," I answered staring out the window. Some thing about the stars seemed to always get my attention. I felt like I knew something was going to come for me but I could never understand why. I left his office shortly after an hour and headed to my room. I stared at my reflection and wondered about the person beyond the surface. I'm medium height with long dark brown hair that came to my waist and light brown eyes. I never could understand why I looked up at the stars and suddenly felt calm. There were so many empty holes in my past and a great pain seemed to pound on my heart.
Today they announced that we are heading down to earth and prepare for the final attack on the Earth's Sphere Unified Nations. And we are to report to our stations until new orders are given. I raced to my post near the control room and place my gun in its holster. Suddenly I hear an explosion down the hall and head down to check on the guards. I see two individuals racing through the hall and in my direction. They appear to be two males about the age of sixteen and seem to be in quite a hurry. One seems to be directing the other to head off in a different direction but he seems to be having some problems. I quietly approach the duo and raise my gun at them.
"Freeze right there," I call out. They don't seem to notice me at first until I clicked the safety on my gun. "Who are you and what do you want?"
They turned and glanced at me with shock. The one with the long hair tied up in a braid pointed at me and whispered something to his comrade who never took his eyes off me. They just stared like they knew something I didn't. I quickly checked over the enemy and a brief vision swept over me caused me to drop my guard. I hit the ground on my knees and put my hands to my head.
"Not again," I cried. I was sitting on bench watching the people walk back and forth across a park. My mind seemed to be preoccupied by a picture I held in my hand. I couldn't really see clearly who was in the picture but I knew they meant a lot to me. It was a picture of five young men in their teens and behind them were giant machines. I was lost in my own thought to notice that someone had sat down beside me.
"What's wrong Delila," he replied.
"Nothing," I answered.
"You're lying and you are not trying to hide it," the dark figure answers, "
and you know it."
"I could never hide things from you Yuy," I replied.
"Nope," he smirked.
"Did you want something so bad but were so afraid to try anything?" I asked him.
"All I can say is you need to follow your feelings," I replied deep on thought.
"That's all you ever say," I sighed. Then I rested my head on his shoulder and watched the sunset.
Snapping back to reality, I found a gun pointed at my head. My eyes slowly raised from the ground and brown met Persian blue. I looked at him as a picture flashed quickly before my eyes and I watched as he glanced over me. He started to lower his gun and held out a hand for me, but the sudden sound of approaching soldiers caused him to slip back into attack mode.
"Lt. Mason are you alright?" they asked. The sudden mention of my name brought a look of shock upon the duo. They looked back at me again trying to find an answer. "Lieutenant, Dakin wants you to escort Miss Mariemaia down to earth."
"Understood," I replied and turned back down the hall. I stopped for a brief moment to look back at him. Our eyes met once again and I left.
