To Fall Before the Flame, Chapter 5
It was christmas when i was 10. We went to Uncle Quatre's big mansion on earth (technicallly not my uncle, but i call all my dads close friends that). I remember it being decorated like i had never seen. This lights decorated the house and reflected on the snow around it, and it was the biggest party i had ever been to! Uncle Trowa and Aunt Catherine were there with a couple of their friends from the circus. Uncle Heero and Aunt Relena were there with their 3 year old son and Uncle Milliardo. Sensei Chang (he was my teacher then too) was there with Aunt Sally and their adopted daughter, age 5. The Maganac Corp. was also there, Uncle Quatre had invited them. All night on the partying and merriment went, the younger children went to bed early with a nurse maid, but i was allowed to stay up. I was playing cards with Uncle Milliardo and Aunt Relena (i now know today that they were letting me win) when i heard my dad talking with my other 4 uncles: Quatre, Sensei Chang, Trowa, and Heero. Still playing cards with Uncle Mill (Aunt Relena went to get a drink), i listened to the conversation, eavedropping being a good genetic trait i got from my dad.
"So, you heard?"
"Yeah Trowa, and it's not good news."
"You're right Heero. We all need to be careful for a while, without our gundams, we are at a disadvantage, even though we are very dangerous without them."
"Relax Quatre, it is christmas after all. All we need to do is keep our eyes and ears open for anything suspicious, there really is nothing we can do right now except wait."
"Don't get too relaxed Duo, that could be your downfall." Sensei Chang said, "remember, we all have families and friends to look out for now, like Hilde and Raevyn..."
~*~*~*~*~*
"Raevyn! Raevyn wake up!"
"Not now Sensei, i'm tired from the party, can we train later..."
"Snap out of it Raevyn, we need to go!"
I woke suddenly out of my dream, realizing suddenly that my master was right there next to me!
"Sensei! What are you doing here?"
"No time to explain, we need to get moving."
He leaned over and unlocked my cuffs. I struggled to get up, but get up i did. I felt around my body, to make sure i still had everything. Just a lot of bumps and bruises, a black eye, and my right wrist was broken again. We passed through the outer room where two of the three soldiers that beat me up were laying dead. I kicked one of them, hard.
"Now let's go! Quatre and Trowa are creating a diversion in the front with some extra explosives and we need to get out while the guards are still distracted."
"What about Dad? We are not going to leave him behind." I stopped and stood my ground, i wasn't leaving without my father. Sensei growled at me,
"Heero is getting Duo, now let's go." I stopped argueing and followed him. All of the guards that tried to stop us were readily knocked out or shot. We continued down the halls until we got to the back exit where i tried to lead my dad out. We weren't going to be caught off guard this time!
We left safetly, hopped over the fence in the growing confusion of the terrorists (after all, two high security prisoners had escaped and many soldiers were killed in the continuous bombing)
"So, where are we going to meet?" I was really anxious to see my dad again, losing him twice was just too much, and i really missed him. We turned around a corner alley and hid in the shadows, just because we were out of the terrorist compound, didn't mean we weren't hunted. Sensei looked around the corner.
"We're all going to meet at Quatre's mansion on earth." I could hardly hide my happiness, i really enjoyed his mansion and the country around it was beautiful, full of mountains and forests. Not only that, i would see my father again!
That night we slept at a cheap motel, Sensei had brought me some real clothes that weren't all torn up to change into. When i showered, i thought about what happened the past few days. I tried to assassinate the Colonel Nave Lucren, ended up finding out that my father was alive, got captured, beaten, rescued, and i was about to take a long shuttle flight to earth, i had quite a week. Sensei woke me up early the next morning,
"Our shuttle leaves at five-thirty, and you need to get your arm set." Overnight i had wrapped my arm up with a wrench as a brace, and it was starting to swell.
"Am i going to have a private doctor? I don't want any question asked about scars." Sensei smiled at me as he put his black hair into his pony tail. "Don't worry, he's one of the best."
"um... since i can't braid my hair because of my wrist, can you... um, ... braid it for me?" Sensei laughed,
"Of course."
After the doctor set my wrist, which he did quite nicely i must say, we headed towards our shuttle, always staying inconspicuous, after all, assassins were common. The ride was boring, of course, and there was nothing to talk about. All the time i was sitting still, my mind was racing, i will get to see my father again. The only reason i wasn't with him now was because of security reasons. At Uncle Quatre's mansion, we didn't have to worry about stuff like that, the Maganacs would protect us. I was rudely interupted from my thoughts as Sensei shook me,
"Don't look behind you Raevyn, there is a man who is after us. Go to the back of the shuttle where you'll be safe." Trusting Sensei with my life, i unbuckled and floated to the back of the shuttle, acting as though i had to go the bathroom. From behind me i heard a scuffle of noise and a knife clatter as it hit the ceiling. I turned around and behind me Sensei had the man with the knife at his throat. Some of the other passengers were starting to look just a little worried (a/n note the sarcasm) Sensei started to walk back to me, still holding the assassin captive,
"You mind opening the door to the bathroom?"
I smiled, "of course."
I opened the door and sensei put the man in it.
"That was easy." I said, Sensei just scoffed as he put some stuff in front of the door to keep the man in there. We then walked back to our seats, now getting lots of nervous stares from the passenegers. I looked at my watch, we still had about 2 hours before we landed, then another 2 hour trip to Uncle Quatre's mansion. This taking too long.
When we finally landed, Sensei and i walked quickly through the other passengers to tell the security about the man locked in the bathroom, then we left much faster to aviod questions. We met our taxi outside the shuttle-port, it smelled of rotting fish.
"Couldn't Uncle Quatre have gotten us a limo instead?" i grumbled,
"Remember, we're trynig to stay unnoticed."
"Oh, yeah, you did a real good job of that on the shuttle."
"Would you rather be dead? Because that's what you would be now had i not done what i did on the shuttle."
That shut me up.
Since it was starting to get late to my colony time oriented body, i fell asleep leaning against my Sensei, i don't think he minded, even though he has a bad reputation of thinking women weak.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raevyn: hello! First of all I would like to comment that I am way too nice to you people. I post, even though I don't get the reviews. But, I would like to thank those who did, you know who you are. Please Read and Review, even though I will eventually update.. ~sigh~ Oh well, later.
