Kidnapped!
By: BrittbeeLynn Chapter 2: The Middle of Nowhere
Heero had the misfortune of walking in the ballroom just as a tall blonde boy came up to Relena. Jealousy seared through him. He watched as they talked and Relena blushed. Then the boy bent down and kissed Relena. He wanted to kill the guy! Relena ran to her room. Heero was tempted to follow him, but against his better judgment, he followed Relena.
He found Relena crying on her bed, hugging her teddy bear. He came in the room.
"Heero." her voice was emotionless.
"Relena."
"Go away, Heero. You will not hurt me again, never again."
"...."
"I've waited 3 years. Nothing. I'm not going to think about you anymore. Your time is up."
"What do you mean?" a flicker of panic went through his voice.
"If you don't get it, you never will. Please go away. I don't want to go back to the ball. Give the others my regards."
"You should come back to the ball Relena."
"No, just this once, I'm going to be Relena, not "the Queen". I'm going to do what I want, not what the people want. It's not something big. Just one ball."
"I'm not going to leave you hear unprotected. I'll have to stay," his voice carried a empty tone, disagreeing with what he felt. His emotions, the emotions that he, the Perfect Soldier, wasn't supposed to have, were swirling around within him.
"I can take care of myself."
"I can take better care of you."
"Fine. I do not care."
She went into her bathroom and came back in a long, white night gown. She got down on her knees and began a silent prayer. Then, mechanically, she slipped into bed and closed her eyes.
Heero watched her as she came out of the bathroom. She really was an angel, but he had lost her. He remembered her 3 years ago. She had seemed so childish, but even then, he couldn't get over her innocence. That was what had drawn him to her and he had pushed her away so many times.
Relena sat on the bed. With practiced efficiency, she pushed Heero out of her mind and tried to focus on Jordan, the mystery man. Who was he? Why had he kissed her so abruptly? Questions filtered through her head at lightning speed, all of which were unanswerable. Finally she fell into an exhausted slumber.
Heero decided it was pointless to stand and watch Relena, so he left the room. He would protect her. He could look on his computer for anything that might be a threat to Relena.
Relena was awakened by a tap on her shoulder. A tall figure stood over her. Thinking it was Heero, she turned over and tried to go back to sleep, or at least to convince him she was asleep so that he would leave.
He then scooped her up into his arms. She looked up into his eyes and was horrified to realize that it was not Heero. Her self-defense classes kicked in and she quickly elbowed him hard in the chest. Jumped out of his arms, punched him in the stomach, and once in the eye. The man didn't even flinch with a bloody eye, he seemed hurt physically, but didn't show it a bit. Surprisingly, the man didn't fight back or try to hurt her, but Relena took no notice of this at the time.
He reached in his pocket and pulled out a dart. He grabbed Relena around the waist and held her hands together with one hand. She was kicking and fighting, but to no avail. He stuck the dart into her arm and immediately, Relena felt drowsy. It didn't hurt, but things started to black out and she slumped in her captors arms.
"Don't worry Relena, I wouldn't hurt you," the man said quietly.
He put Relena on her bed and thoroughly cleaned everything his blood had gotten on. He then cleaned up the items on her desk that had fallen off. His gloved hands didn't leave fingerprints, so he made a clean break, gently lifting Relena and scribbling a note. He carried her out of the window.
~*~*~
Relena's maid found the note that morning, and it was chaos from there. She screamed and called for Zechs, waking everyone else up in the process. Soon, the sleepy Gundam pilots and their girls were gathered in Relena's room.
"Dear friends and family of Relena," Duo read. "I have seen the pain in Relena's eyes, and noticed how they no longer shine. She is overworked, tired, and underweight. You're not taking care of her, and I will not allow you to slowly kill her. I will take care of Relena from now on as you are not smart enough to do so, or either you just don't care. No harm will come to her. You may tell the public she was kidnapped and you're doing the best you can to recover her. I will give her back if the peace she has worked so hard to build runs too thin. Sincerely, Jordan. PS- Heero, long time, no see. You have hurt Relena beyond words, you will not find me. I can disappear just as well as you."
"Hn." Heero sneered.
"What does he mean, Heero?" an EXTREMELY angry Zechs asked.
"Two perfect soldiers were raised. I was the one that turned out completely perfect, so I got the mission," an emotionless voice replied.
"What was wrong with him?" Trowa asked, interested.
"He had emotions. He wasn't stoic enough. On the simulation test, he wouldn't kill the innocent little girl," a brief flicker of regret was mingled in with this, but it was too subtle for anyone to notice, save Relena, and she wasn't there.
"So basically she's stuck with a "Heero" with emotions?" Duo smirked.
"That's just great," was Zech's sarcastic reply.
"I don't like the sound of that! He can disappear as good as Heero and likes Relena?" Noin's said, worried.
"Hn." (guess who)
"Well don't just stand there, lets at least try to find her. Heero makes mistakes sometimes too!" Cathy's stated the obvious, annoyed that no one was trying to do anything. (Cathy and Trowa are not brother and sister, they're husband & wife in this one.)
"When?" asked an annoyed Heero.
"Well...um..."
" I don't make mistakes.
"Yeah, you do! You left Relena, didn't you?"
"Who says that was a mistake?"
"That's enough!" Zechs teeth were gritted and fists clinched.
"Hn." (you know. ^_~)
They searched, and searched but not a shred of evidence was found.
~*~*~
Relena awoke from her horrible nightmare to find herself on a bed, softer than she had imagined there was. The room she was in was not her own. It was decorated as a child's would be, with stuffed animals covering the lacy, canopy bed and a mural of a beautiful place was painted on the wall. In the place, the grass was green, red roses were scattered all around. The sun shone in the blue sky without a cloud in sight. It was her dream world. She loved the room. It made her feel at young and vibrant. She was surprised as she noticed a little old woman in a rocking chair near the door. She was short, with graying hair, and had to be at least 50. The lady was knitting and staring at Relena with mischievous eyes that made her seem younger.
"Where am I?"
The old woman laughed and stood up.
"Queen Relena. How do you feel? You bruised up the master quite a bit the other day."
"I-I-I'm fine. How do you know me? How long have I been asleep? Where am I?"
The woman chuckled and grabbed Relena's hand.
"One question at a time. The master took you away from those people who were overworking you and that mean young man, Heero, who broke your dear little heart. You've been getting some much-needed sleep and have been sleeping for going on 3 days. You're at the master's castle. I not quite sure where this castle is located. All I know is that it's in the middle of nowhere. We're surrounded by a circle of land that's 50 miles long on every side. A circle of land has been cleared, forming a mile-long perimeter on every side. There are about 100 servants here in this castle; all taken off the streets by the master. He's a wonderful man. There are 4 children your age tons of older couples, two new couples and about 20 children who are taught by tutors. Mmmm...there is a girl and three boys all around your age. You look around 20...are you?"
"I'm 21." Relena was finding this hard to believe. She was in a daze.
"Dear, here is your bathroom. Meals are at anytime you want, but to get a cooked meal, they're at 7 am, 12 pm, and 7 pm. A ball will be held in your honor tonight at 8, which you will be expected to attend. Any questions? I must get back to my family. I have a husband and 3 young boys," she added proudly.
"What's your name?"
"Oh, you can call me Mary," she said merrily.
"Will I meet this master of yours at the ball?"
"Maybe, he's a mysterious man...Is that all?"
"Yes, thank you Mary."
"I'll leave you to get settled. Feel free to explore!"
