Reflections of the deceased

Chapter3 -

A farmer walked the streets and overheard solders talking, "Did you hear what happened in the Cinq Kingdom?"

The other solder shrugged "No"

"Well apparently Princess Relena was tortured and then murdered by bandits, and Princess Diana was attacked too, but barely escaped."

The farmer stood in shock, Relena.. He then went to his house to searched for his wife. He found her in the kitchen, " We have to go.. back to the Cinq Kingdom."

She looked at him puzzled, "Why?"

"Relena is dead, and Diana was attacked."

She was too shocked to move. "Relena.." with a nod from her head she quickly packed and headed to the Cinq kingdom with him at her side.

~*~*~*

Relena was in her room, humming to herself. A young girl around her age, with bluish -black hair stood in the door way. "Hi, my names Hilde. Lady Diana wishes to see you." she turned and walked away.

Relena got up and followed her. When she arrived at her sisters door, Diana stood up and looked at Hilde to leave. With a nod from her head, she left.

"I see your doing well."

"You wished to see me Lady Diana?"

An evil smile crossed her face, "Well, Lena it seems you almost gave yourself away."

"It was an accident." Relena quoted

"Accidents like that shouldn't happen without being punished." Relena knew what she was getting at.

"And what is my punishment." She said, almost in a whisper.

"I've spoke with the king into having us go to the country, faraway from here though. You'll see what your punishment is when we get there. Lord Heero has been informed on our journey, so you are to stay with me until we leave, which is in an hour." Relena sat down and sighed, Maybe this is my punishment to stay with her. But then the thought of having her sister interpret that as a punishment would be ridiculous. She probably has worse plans.

~*~*~*

Heero was sitting on his bed, looking at how neat the room looked. Duo came in cheerful as always. "How's it going buddy?"

Heero glared at him and sighed, "I need to get out of here."

"Hey, did you know that the Princess is going to Elathia? I hear the kingdom is absolutely beautiful!!"

"So" was all he got out of Heero.

He sighed, "Dummy, why don't you go with them, it'll be great!" Heero thought for a moment at got up and walked to his door, "Fine." was all Duo heard him say while exiting his room.

~*~*~*

Diana was scolding Relena when the she heard knocking on her door. " Get that now!" Relena got up and went straight for the door. She bowed when Heero came into view. Heero went in the room and did not mutter a thing. "Lord Heero, what brings you here?" Diana stated while sitting down.

"I wanted to talk to you about Elathia."

"Really? What about?"

"I wonder if it would be rude of me to ask if I could accompany you on your trip?" Diana looked surprised. "No it wouldn't. Of course you can accompany me, but I should suggest you get some clothes packed, Elathia is a very far away from here." With that statement he bowed and left. Diana looked at Relena in discussed, "Well, it looks like your punishment will have to wait until later."

Everything was packed and Relena had to sit next to her sister while she talked about meaningless things to Heero. Heero actually seemed bored with the conversation too. He looked over to Relena and glared at her. "What do you think Lord Heero?" Diana said just noticing he wasn't paying attention. She turned to Relena who was glaring at him, then she turned back to Heero who looked like he was in a trance. "Lord Heero?" She said louder which broke the both of there glares. "What?"

"What do think goes with this dress, blue or green?" He shrugged "green... maybe" The carriage stopped suddenly. "We're there already?" Heero asked looking at her. "No, where faraway from arriving in Elathia, Where going to stay in Doulona for the night. This place is very beautiful too, and one of my best friends lives here!" Diana quickly got out of the carriage and went into the large castle that stood before her. Relena and Heero followed her, though they weren't as enthusiastic about it as she was.

A girl with blond hair and blue eyes came around the corner. Diana smiled, "Dorothy!!" Dorothy looked at her and smiled, "I didn't know you were going to be here?" Dorothy stated and looked around her, " Who are they?"

she asked pointing to Heero and Relena. " Oh, this is Lord Heero, he's staying with us, and this is his servant Lena Merquise."

Dorothy looked at Lena again. "Have we meet?" Relena bowed her head, "I.. I don't think so." Dorothy looked at her. "Strange, you look so familiar. Um why don't you all accompany me to dinner."

They all followed her into the dining room. "Lucky we didn't eat yet." They sat down and the chief gave them there plate. "Diana, I heard what happened to you and your sister, why don't you tell us all what happened." Diana looked at her taken aback. "I. I'd rather not, I don't even want to think of that night." Dorothy shook her head. "I understand."

~*~*~*

Merain looked at the whole scene. She then looked at Heero, who like always seemed bored. Maybe I should read his mind. She closed he eyes and muttered something. An unknown force threw against the wall, What happened.... She looked at him again. "I think I should keep a closer eye on him..." She tried to get back up but just collapsed again. Then she noticed she couldn't move. "What... What is this..."
