Reflection's of the Deceased.

Chapter5-Two Hooded Figures.

The morning came much earlier than they all liked. Diana made Lena pack fast. Dorothy and Heero wanted to go back with them too, which annoyed her. She sighed and sent Lena to go get some water from the servants quarters. There were many servants, Lena had to push just to get into the room. Some servants got out after a couple of minutes, soon only 3 servants were there. Relena sighed, she was almost done. a couple of people came behind her and covered her mouth so she couldn't scream. They took a rock (not to big though) and hit her head, she fell on the ground unconscious. Then they dragged her to the woods.

~*~*~*

Relena woke up and saw bandits hovering over her. It was already nightfall, was I unconscious all that time!! She thought to herself.

"Well it looks like Ms. servant came back to life." One of the servants said in an mocking tone. She felt a little dizzy but ignored and stood up. "Where am I, and why did you take me!" She demanded.

"Oh, She talks, don't worry. All we're going to do is kill you, but we wont be that lenient to Lady Diana."

Relena stood there glaring at him. "Why do you wish to take my life?" she asked.

"Well, we're going to make an example out of you. And then torture and kill the Princess just like she said we did."

"Yeah, we didn't kill Princess Relena like they said, and now we can't even show are face in the streets, and all our clients reject us for doing something we didn't do!" another bandit said.

They soon heard a voice. "Relena if you're out there I hope you show your face soon!!! Or I'm getting Samual to go Hunting again!!" Relena knew it was Diana, and could tell she was alone, since she called her by her real name.

The bandits looked at her, and ran off, hiding behind trees and bushed as Diana came into view. "We're have you been all day, we've been looking everywhere."

"I tripped on something and hit my head, I guess I was unconscious all this time."

Diana looked at her, "I suspect that Dorothy knows something, did you tell her who you once were! Princess Relena is dead, and the shell that remained turned into a servant! Do you understand me, you shouldn't even have memories of your other life, all you need to know is obey what your master says."

Those harsh words went through Relena like an arrow. Diana sneered at her, "Come on, They're expecting us soon!" Relena bowed her head like she was a zombie. She followed Diana to the palace that were protected by guards. They bandits talked among themselves about the conversation they heard. And tried to come up with another idea.

Merain was still thinking, when she saw what was happening to Relena. and knew something was coming, but she couldn't tell if it was for good or not.

"So were finally going to go back." Heero said, looking thankfully, he wanted to get out of that place and fast. They were all happy to be going home, Dorothy was excited too. She hadn't seen the Cinq Kingdom in a long time and wanted too.

They were already half way there and Dorothy and Heero saw how empty Lena looked, they knew something must have happened in the forest.

The carriage began to shake and screams were heard, then the door opened. It was the bandits, "Well, look what we could in our net?"

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Diana demanded. He looked at her in disguest. "You don't deserve to live. We heard your little conversation with.. Lena that night in the woods." Fear and anger could be seen in her eyes.

"Trowa!" Heero said , Trowa looked at him. "Heero... What are you doing here?"

~*~*~*

The farmer and his wife arrived in Doulona. (Where Dorothy lives) They were almost to there destination, it was only a days walk from there to the Cinq Kingdom.

"How do you think they're going to react when they see your face again?" The wife asked.

"I don't know." was all she got for an answer.

"You plan to stay?" she said looking at him.

"Let's just see what happens." He said, she smiled and walked a little faster. That act made him smile too, he ran as fast as her could.

"Hey, you're cheating! You're not suppose to run!" She then started to run too.

~*~*~*

It was nightfall and they were all gathered around a fire. Diana looked at each on as if they were parasites. "And how did you know we were going back?" She sneered. Hating the fact that they tied her arms around a tree, so she couldn't move them.

Trowa smiled, "Well, we overheard you, but we still couldn't be sure, since we know how you are. So you decided to let one of us answer our question." He pointed to a girl who was sitting by the fire mumbling things they couldn't hear. "And how would she know?" She asked still angry about the whole tree thing.

Trowa gave her a sly grin. "She's a witch, and my wife. You may call her Princess Midi!" he started to laugh.

Diana looked at her, "There's no such thing as a witch!" Diana said sternly.

Trowa looked at her, " Of course there is. Hey Midi, why don't you go read... Lena's mind and we'll see how this whole thing started." Midi smiled and walked over to Lena, she placed both her hands on her hand and said something.

Soon after she said those words she was thrown across through the fire. (Lucky she was thrown fast enough or she would have burn marks all over her.) She stopped only when she hit a tree.

They all turned there heads to Lena, her neck lass was glowing, and soon Merain appeared laughing. "Well that will teach you not to read peoples mind with out permission!" She then turned to Heero. His neck lass was glowing too. (Remember when I said that Heero found a neck lass in the streets once.)

"So it was you woman!" Wufei appeared was a little angry.

Lena stood up, "Are you Merain's husband?"

Wufei looked at her, "I didn't tell you to speak! So be quiet unless spoken too, that's what women are suppose to do!"

Merain smacked Wufei, "Don't speak to her like that!" Wufei looked shocked. "You.. You smacked me!" she sneered at him, "Get used to it!"

Heero got up, "You... You were the one that was in my room that night!" he said pointing to her. She rolled her eyes. "You just now figured that out!"

Trowa got up too, "Hey, look what you did to my wife!" Merain rolled her eyes again, "She'll be fine!" she went over to Midi and placed her hand on her forehead, and was about to say something.

Wufei look you hand away and put his own on her forehead and healed her.

"Why did you do that!" Merain yelled.

Wufei sneered at his wife, "A woman can't do anything that requires thinking. All she needs to know is to stay at home and clean!"

"That's it!" Merain said something that the ears couldn't catch and threw a tree at him. "Guess I'll see you in another thousand years!" She walked over to Lena and went back into the neck lass.

Wufei stopped it midair. He went to Lena and tried to take the neck lass, but each attempt failed as he was thrown across the fire every time.

"Fine woman, I'm coming in there!" Merain laughed, "And how do you plan to do that!" Wufei looked grinned, " With her!" He grabbed Lena's shoulders and said numerous spells. Then they both glowed and was sucked into the neck lass.

Everyone was quite, then Midi broke the silence. "That was... COOL!" she and the others ran to the stream that wasn't too far away, well every one except Diana, she was still strapped to the tree. Midi put her finger on the water and the image of Merain, Wufei and Lena appeared, they were all screaming at each other.

After a couple of minutes Wufei and Lena came back out, he walked toward Heero, "Immoral Woman!" could be heard before he went inside the neck lass.

~*~*~*

The bandits let them go, they didn't want to get on the bad side of Merain and Wufei. They arrived at the Cinq Kingdom within one hour. Everyone was happy to be home, Dorothy was too, she wanted to visit the Cinq Kingdom soon, but didn't have an excuse.

They were all in the main room, laughing and playing, all of them except Relena. She was leaning against the wall, looking at them, an emotionless, empty face, she knew that she would spend the rest of her life as a servant.

A guard came in "Sir, A farmer wishes to speak to you and Lady Diana." The king nodded for them to let him in. Even though he heard stories that bandits were loose, a farmer all alone couldn't do much.

Two hooded figures came in, you couldn't see there faces which made the room become more tense. "Show you face!" The king demanded. Slowly they took off there hoods. Moments of silence filled the room as they seen who is was.

Relena was shocked at what she saw and a single tear fell from her eyes, " You're... You're alive." was all that escaped.
