Chapter Three: Silver Cross
Relena sat up slowly in her bed. Strange, she'd suffered the loss of the love of her life only two months ago and since then she slept so soundly...so peacefully . Part of her felt guilty. She should have lost sleep since Heero died. She certainly didn't get enough of it when he was alive. But every night when she would lay her head down on her pillow the room was enveloped with the scent of flowers and even if the window was shut she could feel a faint cool breeze come toward her. It was so comforting and peaceful, as if she was being rocked to sleep like a baby.
Last night was no diffrent.
She heard a knock at her door "Come in." She said loud enough for the person to hear while pulling her robe around her.
Millardo stepped in the room "Good your decent."
"I wouldn't have said, come in...If i was not." She laughed quietly.
"Relena you should sit down, i have some bad news." He said, his eyes filled with worry for his sister.
She obeyed "What is it Millardo?"
"To be honest.." he sighed "I'm not sure. somethings wrong. I feel it..."
Relena cocked her head "You feel it?"
Millardo laughed " I know I am not the one to go on a feeling but...somethings about to happen Relena. Your in danger and i do not feel like i can protect you."
Relena knew he was seriosue wether or not she choose to take him seriosuly "Did you and Noin have a fight? Is that why your upset?"
He waved his hand "No Relena, no..." He paused for a moment then made eye contact "Ever since Heero died things have seemed. Off? I dunno...I just feel like something is going to happen. Something that when it does we will have no power over. I just..."
"Millardo, what are you talking about?" she cut him off "Is there a new threat? a new rebel group? I mean, of course it has to be? They hear that a Gundam pilot, the one to protect me no less has died of course new groups would form. But i know you and the preventers can take care of it like you always do."
Millardo just shook his now bowed head and motion for her to come over. When she did he took her hand and kissed it. "Relena...I..." He couldn't finish. How could he? He had no idea what he was even talking about how could he explain it to her?
Confused she just knelt beside her brother and kissed his forhead "Go get some rest, you need it."
Millardo sighed leaving the room. When outside her door he felt a calming breeze and put his hand over his heart looking up beyond the celing covering his heart with his hand "Use me..."
Relena scrached her head. Her mind was confused but part of her knew exactly what her brother had been talking about. Thing were becoming stange. People she knew were acting diffrent.
Relena rolled here eyes and walked to her closet, she didn't have time for this she had a meeting to attend. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a flash of silver by her window.
"What the-?" she whispered.
She walked over to her balcond and by the window door lay a silver cross necklace "I've seem this before."
If she had been to the funeral she would have known Heero had been buried in it. He'd received it as a present from a stranger the last day he'd seen Relena.
Not knowing it belonged to Heero, Relena put the cross around her neck.
