Chapter Four: The Errand
~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In the Spaceship~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Zechs and Noin were thoroughly exhausted from their journey and other nightly activities during the night.
"Good morning." He whispered softly. After a few minutes Zechs and Noin got dressed and she went to check on her two daughters. Amanda was in the room sleeping silently so Noin didn't wake her. But then to her horror she noticed that there was only one body in the bed where last night there had been two. Looking all around the small room Noin didn't see the five year old. After checking the whole ship twice, no Aries.
"Zechs where's Aries?" she questioned afraid of the answer.
"What did you mean? Isn't she in her room?"
"If she was there do you think I would be asking you?" an argument was beginning and probably would have erupted if Amanda hadn't walked in the room at that moment.
"Amanda where's your sister?" Noin said
"Um.... she woke me up this morning and said she was going to explore this place a little. She wanted me to come but I said I was tired. And then she left I guess."
"What, left?" the two parents said simultaneously.
*~*~*~*~*~
Hilde, with Duo in tow approached a sobbing little girl. She had sat down leaning against the wall crying.
"Hi sweetheart, why are you crying and where are your parents?" she asked bending down to the child's level.
"Their in the ship.... I don't know how to open the door and I don't know where the ship is and no one but my sister knows I am gone."
"Well what's your name we'll see if we can get you back to your parents."
"My name is Aries Marquiez."
"Marquiez huh, you wouldn't happen to be Zechs' kid would you?" Duo asked as Hilde pasted him his year old son Arron.
"Yea that's my daddy's name." Aries' expression bighted that these people knew her dad.
"Well come on then I'm sure we can find him." Hilde held out her hand for Aries but saw when she was about to grasp it the blood that had dried into he creases of her hand.
"What happened to your hand Aries?"
"Oh I fell out of the ship and this green and red thing with these pitchy things on it bit me."
" It bit you? Well then how about we go to the infirmary first and then go find your mom and dad?"
"Ok" she wiped the tears out of her eyes and walked along with the Maxwell's.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Zechs what if something happened to her?" Noin paced around the ship.
"Lucrezia, calm down, you go meet the others and I will go find Aries." Zechs attempted to kiss his wife but she pulled away.
"Calm down! She's five years old for God's sake Zechs. She has never even been on this planet in her life and now she missing and you want me to calm down?" Zechs leaned over again this time catching his wife in a rough kiss.
"Yes, I do. She's a smart girl she'd be ok. Now just take Amanda and go to the conference room and meet the others and I will go search for Aries ok?"
"Alright." They walked to the base, Noin and Amanda going one way and Zechs going another.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The Conference Room
Noin walked into the room and was greeted warmly by everyone except Lady Une who just nodded curtly at her and raised her eyebrows at Amanda.
"Noin were so glad you could join us here." Relena said to her.
"Oh yes we are exceptionally thrilled that you could attend." Une said sarcastically as Relena bent down to Amanda's level.
"It's good to see something never change. How are you these days Une?"
"I'm just fine thank you for your concern." The conversation was friendly enough but the feeling behind them gave away the dislike and friendless tone of both women.
"Hi there. My name is Relena what is yours?" She said kindly/
"I'm Amanda."
"Well it's nice to meet you finally last time I saw you were in your mother's belly. Did you know I am your father's sister?"
"Yeah." Relena stood up "Speaking of my dear brother where is Milliardo?"
"He's coming soon he just has to run an errand."
