Pirates Chapter 10
Relena awoke to a sweet scent. Relena slowly opened her peaceful eyes and Heero came into focus. He smirked. "You sleep well." And you obviously don't." Relena said. Heero smiled. "True...I never have slept to well since....never mind!" Heero said suddenly. He turned to leave but Relena grabbed his elbow. "Heero you can tell me!" she pleaded. Heero looked back at her, yearning and looked like he wanted to but...he couldn't. He shook his head. There was a silence. Maybe he would feel more at ease if he knew Relena knew a little about what happened. "Heero, I-I know Treize attacked your home. I know what you lost...." Relena said softly, surprise was etched on Heero's face. He tried to open his dry mouth but he couldn't say anything. Relena looked at the floor. "Heero," he cringed, "Why did Treize attack your home." Relena asked softly. Heero looked away in pain. There was a long silence. "You don't have to tell me if you don't-!" " I don't know why. I was too young. All I know is hate him, Relena, I don't know what to do! I just hate him, for years I've obsessed myself with fantasies of what would happen if he ever came into my hands! I just want him to die! I want the pain to stop!" Heero said hysterically. Heero sank to his knees and Relena got out of bed and held him against her, gently rocking him back and forth like a child.
"Quatre there are many things hidden from you, you and your friends." Howard said. "This all started long ago. Treize used to have a lot of power with his right hand and lover, Lady Une. It's a pity Wufei couldn't' assassinate her when he had the chance. Relena got in the way and Sally had been following him around. But protests threw them out of power. Treize slowly made his way back to the top. He attacked an orphanage one day, killed everyone inside." Howard looked down painfully. "Why?" Quatre asked sadly. "Do you remember the young nanny you had sometimes Quatre, Dorothy." Quatre nodded. "She was a brilliant girl, when Treize ruled she had sided with him, but you changed her. When your hometown was being attacked, she had gone into battle. They were losing, as a desperate measure Dorothy kidnapped you as a hostage in the fort. While you were there you, two talked. You were still so young but so wise. Dorothy in the end betrayed Treize for your sake. You used to follow her around like a puppy. But Dorothy started an orphanage and went away. Her visits became less frequent and you would miss her terribly." Howard said. Quatre blushed and smiled at the memory. She was so beautiful he remembered. Every now and then, he wondered where she was. "Treize killed her for her betrayal years later." Howard said sadly. Quatre's eyes widened. "He killed everyone in the orphanage even the little children and burned it to the ground!" Howard said clenching his fists angrily. Quatre looked at the ground painfully and his knuckles went white as he held his knees tightly. Everyone around them looked at the ground but remained silent. " There's something you should also know. You're father died so long ago he never had the chance tot ell you. He was the leader of Dragoons before Noventa. But you have a little baby sister." Howard said softly. Quatre looked up shocked. "She was year old when your home was attacked. I saw a young couple running out of the city holding her in their arms. Your mother died that day and your father couldn't even bring it up. Nor could Zechs, he blamed himself entirely. I don't know where she is today. All I know is that Treize has made everyone think he's come back a saint and is using Martial Noventa to get the Frozen Flame." Howard said. Everyone perked up.
Relena walked out to meet everyone. "Hilde, Catherine, Sylvia, Heero and I are setting out to Mount Pyre. If you'd like to come along feel free but if you'd rather rest don't feel bad to stay here." Relena said. Everyone looked her warmly. "There's no way we'd let you go have fun on your own!" Hilde said energetically. Relena smiled, she seemed a lot like Duo. "Okay, here's the plan. We go to Mount Pyre and pretend to be Sylvia's bodyguards. That way we can get in. But we need to go in disguised so I don't know what we'll do for Dragoon armor." Relena explained.
A young woman with short black hair who was elegantly dressed sat in a room for questioning. "Tell us the secret to unlocking the Frozen Flame!" a man yelled angrily. The woman looked down at the floor in silence. "We know Zechs told you before he died! Now answer us and save yourself the pain!" he said angrily trying to remain patient. The woman looked up with flaring eyes. "I would never betray Zechs and shame his memory by such an act!" she snapped angrily but a hand swiftly went across her face. In shock, she touched the red area on her cheek. "Torture I can assure you will be much more painful than that. I will leave you sometime, Lady Noin, to ponder your decision." The man said menacingly and left.
Quatre rode the boat in thought. She was dead. It hurt but he was still so young and he could never forget....Sylvia. Quatre closed his eyes dreamily. "Did you love her?" Duo asked softly. "I don't know to be quite honest. She's dead and it hearts and I yearn for her. But she left a long time ago, when I was 10 she stopped visiting. I guess she died around that time, but Zechs never told me. Even still, with this pain, the only thing that soothes me is Sylvia." Quatre said softly. Duo arched an eyebrow. "Duo, have you ever been in love?" Quatre asked. Duo was shocked by the question and blushed. "Nah! That kind of stuff isn't for me!" Duo said sheepishly. Someone was coughing near them. "*Cough* Hilde*cough*!" Duo shot Misty a glare. "I do have to admit you act nervously around her!" Misty said smirking. "That's because she reminds me of a grumpy old nanny!" Duo retorted. "Did you know your nose twitches when you lie." Misty asked innocently. Duo looked down at his twitching nose and covered it. "I am not lying! I don't think of Hilde in that way and she sure as hell doesn't like me in that way!" Duo snapped. "Oh paleeeaaassseee! You two are flirting nonstop! You hit on her more than you do me! And, well I'm quite woman." Misty said smoothing her hair and Duo fell over laughing. " Laugh all you want, Duo! You know that I'm right." Misty snapped angrily. "I don't see why you're talking! You and Trowa have been all over each other this trip!" Duo retorted. Misty choked and Trowa, who had just started taking a drink out his refreshing water bottle, spit it all out and started choking. Misty lashed at Duo, grabbed him around the neck, and pushed his head over the boat and under water.
Relena landed on the island which Mount Pyre was located on. Hilde looked off distantly. If they died, would the others ever know? Nobody knew they were here did they? Would Duo miss her? HUH?! What was she talking about! Hilde turned to look at Sylvia who was looking out dreamily as well. At least she had her knight, but Duo, was too much of a womanizer to look at her 'that' way. "Ready?" Relena asked. "Ya, but I still think that the duplications of armor of Dragoons from the blacksmith aren't that convincing." Sylvia said concerned. "It'll be fine." Heero said and Sylvia nodded. "Are we ready." Relena asked. Heero nodded numbly. He had a bad feeling about this.
