Half Breed
DISCLAIMERS: i don't own gundam! never have, never will, unless maybe i become a billionaire!
Lina groaned and blinked. Her eyes were heavy with exhaustion and sleepiness. She could hear sounds of moevment and concerned quiet whispers around herself. She remembered what had happened earlier and tried to get up. "Catherine?" she croaked. Her throat felt like sandpaper.
Someone had heard her and brought a cup with water. They poured it onto her lips as the sweet fresh water washed down her throat. Lina sighed with slight content, but at the same time, her whole body felt sore. A face suddenly appeared in front of her face.
"Lina!" It was Catherine. "You're alright! Oh, I'm so glad." Her eyes were filled with worry and concern as she tried to smile.
"I'm fine," Lina said. "What's going on?"
"You blacked out after you brought me back to the castle," Catherine said. "I was so worried. You've been sleeping for four days."
"And how long were you out?" Lina asked.
"Just two days." Lina nodded. Her eyelids felt a lot heavier than before.
"Why am I so sleepy?" she mumbled.
"You used a lot of power back there. And you were battling them so of course you'd be tired. Go to sleep," Catherine said. "The water had herbs that'll help you heal faster." Lina nodded and fell asleep once more.

Meanwhile, back at the castle of the vampires...
"How did the strongest group of vampires in the whole empire get beaten by two girls!" Zechs exploded.
"Zechs, one of those girls was the half breed Lina. Of course she could beat them. She has the power to destroy either empire that she opposes," Noin said. Zechs sighed and rubbed his temple.
"Yes, I know, but I just can't help but be disppointed in the group. They are the best in the empire and have never failed a mission," Zechs said. "In addition to that, we lost Lina to the witches. Do you know why she went there? She seemed perfectly happy here."
"I do not know," Noin lied. Trowa had told her what happened.
During this, Trowa sat on the roof of the castle. He gazed at the setting sun, sadness in his eyes. Quatre had noticed his friend was not in his room and went to the roof. "Are you alright Trowa?" Trowa turned to face his friend.
"I don't know," he sighed.
"You love her, don't you?"
"Yeah, and it's because of that, that made Lina leave."
"How can that be so?"
"I was foolish and tried to hide our love by lying to Duo. I told him that she was nothing more than a tool and she overheard. It's all my fault and now she hates me."
"Why don't you try and explain it to her?"
"Does it look like she'll give me a chance?" Silence enveloped the two. Quatre finally stood up.
"I guess I'll leave you to your thoughts. I know how much you value your privacy," he said. Trowa nodded and Quatre left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lina awoke and found herself in her room. She sat up and found herself in a nightgown. She looked at it in disgust. Dresses, she shuddered. She hated dresses and it reminded her of *him*. Lina quickly changed into jeans and a blue top. She put on her shoes and stepped outside.
Lina walked in the hall and arrived in the kitchen. Thee, she found Hilde and Catherine. "Hi! I see your up and well," Hilde greeted.
"How do you feel?" Catherine asked.
"I feel fine. Just a lil hungry." Hilde and Catherine laughed. Hilde went and got some food for Lina as she sat down.
"So, what are you planning to do today?" Catherine asked.
"I dunno. I suppose we could ask princess," Lina said. There was an edge of annoyance in her voice and Catherine laughed. Hilde sat down with the food and Lina ate. When she finished, she, Hilde, and Catherine walked to the throne room, and found the others there.
"There you are!" Relena exclaimed. "How are you feeling Lina?"
"I'm fine."
"Good. Now, shall we proceed with the plan?" They nodded and sat down.
"Now, I want you five to find those vampire assasin group and destrot them. With Lina with you, you'll have no problem with that. If they die, it will be a big blow to the vampire empire," Relena said. "Then, while they mourn for their lost ones, we will attack and win."
"How long have you planned this?" Lina asked.
"For a very long time now. I have been planning this for so long, that there can't be any faults." Lina snorted, but Relena did not notice. She was off into her own dream land.
"Well, we better be off to accomplish this mission before she wakes from her day dream and yells at us for not starting right away," Lakita said. The others agreed and they set out with weapons and walked into the woods.
"Do you think they'll come?" Kisha asked.
"I don't know. They were wounded by Lina and Catherine, but I am sure that they have already recovered. Vampires heal very quick," Meiran said, stating the fact they all already knew.
"Well, why don't we just attract them here and then get them?" Hilde said.
"What do you have in mind?" Lakita asked.
"Maybe a light spell or a something that will be powerful enough to be alerted by their senses." Lakita nodded.
"We should try the light spell first. We can't waste power if we are to attack them and destroy them." The others nodded and formed a circle.
They easily summoned a light spell that would be seen from the vampire castle. Trowa, as you know, was on the roof when he saw this. It was dark and the loght was very bright. He left the roof quickly and warned the others. They nodded and quickly left to where Trowa had seen the light.
"It could be a trap," Heero warned. The others took caution and walked into the woods. They walked for a bit, then came upon three female bodies. They saw Lina, Catherine and another woman they had never seen before. They didn't know it was Hilde.
Using their senses, they felt that the three girls had used their powers to attack an enemy. Their faces were sweaty and dirty. There were ashes all around them. Probably the enemy. "We better take them back to the castle," Duo said. They circled the bodies.
Then, they noticed Lina stirring. Her breathing was shallow and she gave out a small yelp of pain and gritted her teeth. Trowa went to her side. "What happened?" he asked.
Lina opened her eyes. There was no emotion in them. "You." Trowa was taken by surprise at her words and she attacked with a small knife made of silver. Catherine and Hilde had already jumped up from their fake sleep and attacked the boys. Lakita, Kisha, and Meiran jumped from the trees and also attacked them.
"It's a trap!" Duo yelled.
"That's obvious," Lina retorted. She brought out her sword and slashed at Trowa and any of the guys who was near her. Catherine fought alongside with Lakita and Meiran, or whoever needed help. Lina's arm was still a bit sore and stiff, so she had a lil trouble fighting. Trowa saw this and took advantage of it.
He pinned her against a tree. Lina hissed and tried to bite him. He avoided her teeth. Lina then shifted into a white wolf and lunged at Trowa. Trowa dodged and sent a blast of power at her. Lina was hit in the shoulder, but ignored the pain. She lunged at Trowa once more and he threw himself onto the ground to dodge it.
Lina had lept abpve Trowa who was on the ground, so she used this momentum to slam into Heero. She had him pinned, but was thrown into a tree by Wufei's power. She snarled, showing razor sharp teeth. Lina's eyes narrowed as she sent a wave of power at Wufei. He hit the ground as Duo jumped her. They wrestled, but Lina was thrown out of her wolf form.
Duo pinned her, but she kicked him off of herself and lept up. All around, she could see chaos. Trees were uprooted and some bushes were set aflamed by their power. They would have to end this soon if they didn't want to woods to be burned down. As Lina was up in the air, Trowa lept up and tackled her to the ground.
Lina hit the ground with a powerful force. She could hear a crack from her left shoulder and felt it healing almost instantly. She was dazed from the fall, but she threw Trowa off to the side and got up shakily. Meiran ran over to her and helped her up. Lina gasped for breath and leaned on Meiran. She could see the others getting tired, while the boys were still pretty energetic.
The other girls quickly ran to where Meiran and Lina were. They were out of breath and exhaustion would soon claim them. The only one showing no signs of tirnedness was Lakita, although her intake of breath was faster than usual. "We can't last much longer," Hilde panted.
"We'll have to destroy them now," Catherine said. They nodded and stood in a line, hand holding the others. Their power rose as well as a shield around them It was a dangerous spell for both the caster and the victim. If anyone from outside the spell grabbed their hand, there would be an explosion of power that might kill the caster and injure the victim.
Lina could feel the boys breaking against the shiel. They seemed to be taking the risk of injury and losing her. I can't let the others get hurt, Lina thought furiously. The shield crumbled and the boys grabbed onto the hands of Hilde and Meiran, who were standing at the ends of the line. They could feel the power rising rapidly enough for the explosion, but after a while, nothing happened.
Then, Lina fell to the ground in burning pain. She yelled out in pain as she lay on the ground writhing in the excruciating pain. The girls knelt beside her, knowing that Lina had directed the power to herself so that no one else would be injured or killed.
"Lina!" Catherine cried. Tears sprung to her eyes as she saw her friend thrash about. She turned to face the boys, whose faces were white with shock. "See what you've done!" she screamed. Trowa stepped forward, as if in a trance, staring at Lina. Catherine's eyes narrowed as he came closer. Then, she was filled with such anger, that she lept up from the ground and slapped her brother across the face.
The sound of the slapped echoed through the woods above Lina's cries of pain. Trowa turned his head to face his sister, eyes filled with shock and realization. "Look what you fucking bastards did to her!" Catherine's voice trembled with anger. Meiran lept up to stand next to her friend, tears in her eyes as well.
Kisha sat next to Lina, trying different healing spells to stop the pain. Lakita had her hand on Kisha, letting her power flow through Kisha to help with the healing. Duo and Quatre stepped forward, feeling guilty and wanting to help, but the glares of Catherine, Meiran, and Hilde stopped them in their tracks.
Lina's cries and thrashing soon subsided and Kisha and Lakita slumped onto the ground, leaning against the other. Kisha seemed to fall asleep, but Lakita stayed awake and alert. An eerie silence hung around the group of teenagers and a cool breeze blew at them. Finally, Lakita's voice broke through the silence. "Let's take Lina back to the castle. She needs more medical attention." The girls except Kisha and lina nodded and moved to help their friends.
Lina suddenly stirred. "I don't want to fight anymore," her voice came out in a strained whisper, but it was heard by all who stood there.
"Lina..." Hilde said worriedly.
"I don't want to fight anymore," Lina repeated. "There's too much pain. I don't want the people I love to get hurt anymore. I don't want to be in this stupid war anymore. It hurts too much." The others waited as Lina quickly got her breath. "Leave me here. If I die, maybe it'll help stop this war." There were gasps.
"Lina! Don't you dare think of dying!" Catherine exclaimed. Lina gave her a rueful smile.
"I'd do anything to stop the pain of war, even if it meant to end my life," Lina said. The boys looked at her with growing respect. "I didn't realize until now how valuable life was. Now that I know, I don't want to take part in this war anymore. I don't want innocent people to die." She let out a shuddering sigh before going limp. She wasn't breathing.
Yayz! I made a cliffy! *sweatdrop* Okay, okay. I'm still new to the cliffy's so iono if it iz a cliffy. Heh.
