Reflections of the Deceased
Chapter 4-Dorothy's Joke.
Dorothy looked at her guessed, "Well Lena, What did you do before you became a servant?" At this statement Relena started chocking on her food. " Well... I.." Diana answered for her. "She used to help her parents sell flowers, but when they died, the business went down. So I offered her the job as a servant." Dorothy looked at both of them, "How shameful, but I guess it all worked out in the end" She turned to Diana again, " So what's your next stop?"
"Oz"
Dorothy looked at her shocked, "Really??"
"Yep!"
Dorothy's eyes sparkled, "I wish I could come see the new weapons they have?"
Diana smiled, "Why don't you come with us, It'll be much more interesting with you there!"
Dorothy smiled at herself, there was something wrong with that servant and Diana. And she had to find out what it was herself.
~*~*~*
The farmer and his wife was arriving in Galintha. They knew it would take weeks to get to the Cinq kingdom. It was getting to nightfall and they had to camp out.
"I can't believe it, Relena's dead." said the wife.
"Whoever did this will pay dearly!" the farmer said clutching his hands tightly.
"She died without knowing the truth! I still can't believe that.. (Tears started falling on her cheek.) Why.. Why did she have to die."
The farmer put his arms around her, comforting her. "Don't worry, well know more once we get to the Cinq Kingdom."
~*~*~*
"We're are we going to sleep, it's getting awfully late?" said Diana yawning.
Dorothy looked at them and thought for awhile. "Well, grandfather is staying with us too, he brought a lot of friends and servants with him. There's only one room left."
Diana sighed, "I'll sleep in your room, you do still have that extra bed in your room, don't you?"
" Of course I do!" Dorothy looked at Heero and Relena and smiled. "Well, guess that means the both of you will have to share that room. And there no spare bed in there too because not many people use that room." Dorothy laughed at there misfortune and turned her back on them and walked away and was followed by Diana. "Well, this is going to be a really interesting!" Dorothy mumbled to Diana, though Heero and Relena heard her.
Meanwhile Merain looked at them . The horrible scene when she tried to read his mind came back to her. What happened then.... Thoughts and worries filled her mind, but then she realized that she could use this opportunity to find out what the force was.
"You could sleep on the floor, I'll sleep on the bed." said Heero in his emotionless voice. Lena was surprised at what he said, but she couldn't allow him to do such a thing on her behalf.
"No, it's okay. You could sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." Heero looked at her very surprised himself. He glared at her, but she just glared back. Usually when he glared at someone they became scared, but not her, she was different.
The glare lasted for a good fifteen minutes, it broke when they heard giggling. Heero went to the door and opened it. Dorothy and Diana were they laughing at them. "Heero, you should both sleep on the bed, that way, it'll be much more interesting!" said Dorothy with a very evil smile on her face.
Heero shut the door, Dorothy glared at the door and turned to Diana, "Well, he's cute. I'll give him that!"
Heero was a little angry at himself for not noticing there presents before. "Fine, I'll sleep on the bed, you could take the floor." Relena quickly made a bed on the floor, judging from the tone in his voice. he was in a pretty angry mood.
It was midnight when Relena fell asleep. Her pendant started glowing again, Merain came out and tiptoed to where Heero was sleeping. She put her hands on his head and closed her eyes and started chanting something. Heero woke up and grabbed her arm before she said the last word. "Who are you?" he asked. But Merain just vanished. He blinked twice and looked around, and saw Relena laying on the floor. He got up and looked to see if she was awake, It couldn't have been her. He shook his head and went back to bed and declared that he was imagining it.
Merain was pacing back and forth. Just one more word and I would have known what it was!! There's something very unusual about this 'Heero' And I intend to find out! She declared to herself. Still pacing around the room.
~*~*~*
Dorothy and Diana was in there room planning on how to make the night more funnier. Diana wasn't enjoying the idea of having her x-sister be involved in what they were planning, but on the other hand she didn't want Dorothy to suspect anything, so she acted normal.
"You got that! This is going to be the most funniest thing I have ever done!!" Dorothy said and walked to the door, Diana followed as usual.
Dorothy stopped when they reached to where Heero and Lena were sleeping. "Don't screw up, or they will suspect something!" She put on some white, make-up.(I mean White, like ghost white!) She stepped back a few feet and whispered something in an anonymous voice. Loud enough that it woke them up, but not too loud that you could fully understand what she was saying. The whispers became more louder. Relena sneered at this, she knew who it was, because when she was a princess she remembered when Dorothy pulled a stunt like she was pulling now. "HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP MMMMMEEEE!!!!" The whispers said. Heero was grabbed a sword that was hiding under the bed. Relena sighed when she saw this. She got up and went to the door. "You can stop it Dorothy, we know it's you!" Then she slammed the door and went back in sleep. Heero only blinked. 'Why didn't I think it was her' He thought, then yawned and fell asleep soon after.
Dorothy stood where she was in shock. How did she know it was me! Nobody knew about that scan except.... Suddenly it all came together. Why she looked so familiar and how she knew all that she did. Diana yawned too, "We'll they found out. Now I'm going to bed."
Dorothy looked at her, she walked to Relena / Heero's door and opened it. Then she lit some candles, which made both Heero and Relena wake up. "Well, that was quite a scam! I would have never thought of 'killing' myself before!" Dorothy clapped her hands at Lena. "Bravo!!"
"What are you talking about." she asked looking at Dorothy. Heero looked at both of them wondering what was going on.
"Oh come on. I know it's you! You were the only one I played that trick on before. That's how you knew it was me isn't it.... Relena!"
Heero was shocked at this, he looked at Lena for an answer. Lena stood there for a moment, closed her eyes for a moment and stood up. "I'm afraid you misunderstood something. I am not Relena. And the only reason I knew it was you was because I recognized your voice."
Dorothy sneered at this, "Sure." At that moment Diana came in sleepy, "Dorothy what are you doing?" Dorothy laughed. "Hey you know that your sisters dead right."
"Yeah" Diana said.
Dorothy grinned and looked at Relena. The grin that stood in place melted away. Relena's face was pale, and she knew there was fear there. She looked back at Diana, and realized what was happening. "Um... Nothing, It's late, and I just thought I saw a ghost." she yawned and quickly headed for the door. As Dorothy was about to leave. She looked at Diana who stood there looking at her sister. "Lena may I talk to you...alone." Heero got up and left. Dorothy knew she'd regret doing that.
Heero went to get a glass of water. Dorothy put her ear to the door and overheard what they were saying. Diana looked at her sister. "We... are going back to the Cinq Kingdom tomorrow." was all she had to say. Diana left with Dorothy following her. Heero came back soon and saw Lena crying. "What's wrong." he asked in a monotone voice.
Shocked she looked up at who spoke and saw Heero standing there. She quickly dried her eyes, "Lord Heero! I didn't see you there!" she bowed but Heero just looked at her. "What's wrong?" he said again. Relena looked at him, "Nothings wrong." she smiled weakly and covered herself with the blankets that lay on the floor. Heero sighed and went to the bed to get some rest....
