Chapter 6: The Tyranny of it all!
Relena and the girls were devising a plan to sneak out of the house. They had to figure out a way to get passed the guys, naturally. And with each of them working for preventors, had gundam training, and went on continuous missions, they knew that it would be difficult to get past such experts.
All 5 of them poked their heads out the door and tried to make out the guys bodies from their view. They were all lounging on the sofa and chairs, strategically placed around the t.v. their backs pointed at the girls. The guys occasionally called out insults or encouragements to the electronic box, as if the players of the hockey team on the screen could hear them. Typical males.
"Psst are you done yet?" asked Hilde as they retreated their heads back into the room, closing the door behind them. The question was pointed at Catherine who had a marker in her hand. A large poster lay on the bed with large printed words on top.
Hilde smiled in approval as Catherine nodded a 'yes'.
The sign read 'Cya's lata's alligators. We girls have gone out clubbin tonight!" It had a large smiley that was winking underneath. The choice of words had been purely Hilde's. She had thought it was the perfect slogan for tonight's events, so the girls just shrugged it off. Of course, the poster was in place to leave as bait for the guys. Just another step in their devious plot. They had 'accidentally' left a piece of paper with the club address and name by the poster on the bed. It was on the other side of a shopping list so the whole thing looked less conspicuous on the girls part.
The girls were naturally dressed to kill.
Hilde wore: a black leather skirt and a dark blue halter top. She had blue eye shadow and wore eyeliner with mascara. She wore black leather boots that went up to just below her knees.
Catherine: Catherine wore a short, curvy, spaghetti strapped, purple silk dress. She wore purple high heeled open toed shoes, sparkle eye shadow, her nails were painted purple to match her dress, and she had some mascara on.
Dorothy: She wore a blue jean skirt that came down to her knees, with slits in it, a white halter top. She wore her hair up in a very pretty messy bun, and wrapped a long white scarf around her bun and it dragged half way down her back. She wore white open toed heels, large white hooped ear rings, and had white eye shadow and mascara on.
Sally: Sally wore a white pleated skirt, and a red off the shoulder top. She wore a red choker necklace and red leather boots. She had straightened her hair (thanks to some help from the girls) and it looked beautiful on her.
Relena: wore a black top that had a sleeve on only one arm, and flared out at the end, while the other one was only a single strap (difficult to explain ), and a pair of tight blue jeans and open toed, black sandals. Relena's hair was in loose waves and looked gorgeous with her tight outfit.
The girls, satisfied with their looks, tiptoed to the top of the stairs, and looked down once more. The guys were still watching the game, shouting profanities, but they tremoured when they all realized that Duo was missing from the lot. They all sucked in their breaths, each had a foot pointing in the direction of Relena's room prepared to sprint back in at any given moment. But to their relief, they saw Duo come back to the coach, from the direction of the kitchen, holding a beer in his hand. He then 'gracefully' plopped himself in between Quatre and Heero.
Each girl then made their way slowly down the stairs, careful to avoid any creaks in the wooden staircase, of course carrying their heeled shoes for they dared not even dream of what a ruckess their outrageous shoes could make on a hard wood floor. They kept low and tried their best not to be seen. Their mission was successful however, and no flaws were made. For once, the females actually thanked the fact that the sport hockey had been created to hold the male populations attention. They highly doubted even a hurricane would draw their attention away from the game.
They all crawled to the front door, despite how difficult it was for all but Relena, but precautions were necessary in their little game. Once the door was reached, Catherine skillfully turned the handle in her quick hands, but due to the fact that Heero had not had enough time to oil the metal on the door, it made a slight squeak.
When Relena and Heero had bought their house, it had not been newly built. The property had been previously owned by a wealthy couple who had divorced late in their marriage. The wife had insisted that she needed to get out of the house as soon as possible, because EVERYTHING seemed to remind her of her despicable ex husband. When Relena had inspected the Victorian Mansion after the petit old woman had placed an add in the newspaper, she had instantly fallen in love with it's beauty and charm. But, the older styled home of course had it's own creaks and cracks, as most homes and people do as they get older. Relena saw her home as a fragile building whose walls were still strong because they still had a purpose.
Cursing the matured home for the first time since she had moved there, she waited in deep anticipation, not moving a muscle, expecting to hear one of the males to jump up from their seat on the coach and inspect. But of course, they all remained in front of the hockey game, and made the girls jump when they had shouted at a player. Catherine sighed and pulled the door open. The girls then filed out of the house and shut the door behind them.
They all rushed to two of their vehicles, Hilde, Catherine, Dorothy in one car and Relena and Sally in the other. They drove off, honking (as had been planned), as a sort of victory (A.N. something you would do after a hockey game let's say ;; ).
Heero's POV
"What the hell was that?" asked Duo
"Does it look like I know?" Asked Heero
"Where are the girls?" asked Quatre
"Yeah, it's been really quite for a while...." stated Trowa
Instantly the guys put two and two together. Girls...quiet....honking....cars....They all rushed up from their spots on the coach and away from the game, thoroughly disappointed that they were missing the last five crucial minutes of the third period, in the hockey game, and began a scavenge around the house.
After the whole house had been checked however, there were no signs of the girls anywhere. Heero guessed it was yet another scheme on the girls part. And of course, his suspicions were proven correct, when Wufei produced a piece of paper from Relena's bedroom, disguised as a shopping list. Relena thought that she could trick Heero, and he admired her attempt, but of course, she was far from tricking him.
He snatched the note from Wufei's hand and read the address on the back of the innocent looking paper. Oh this had definitely been planned, and she thought he would play that easy and chase after her? She had another thing coming if that was the case.
"This accompanied it" Wufei said while handing a poster out to him. He read it and rolled his eyes. At least that had not been the work of his fiancé , but he could tell whose girlfriend had written that. (a glare at Duo)
Once the guys had all congregated again in front of the hockey game, Quatre stood in front of the screen, ignoring Heero's angered death glare, and put his hands on his hips.
"What are we going to do about this?" he asked
"Absolutely nothing" Replied Heero "Why not?" Duo chipped in
"Because it's obvious that they wanted to get caught and have us follow them like we are their puppy dogs or something. Relena is scheming against me, and you all know it. If I give into her little 'trap' then I'll just end up losing a small amount to her, and I will not stand that." Heero said calmly "Now if you don't mind, I would like to watch the game."
Quatre stared at him as if he had gone crazy, but then decided to accept his thoughts on the matter, and sat back down on the coach. They watched the rest of the game, a score of 3-2 and they cheered, their favorite team had won, and they were going into the next round of the playoffs.
As soon as they turned off the T.V. they went to grab a few more beers, when the telephone rang. Heero excused himself and turned on the video phone. He was shocked to see the guy who had been eyeing Relena earlier on the phone, and it irritated him to no end. Jealousy coursed through him as he wondered as to why Relena would give out her number to a complete stranger, they had already dealt with the whole concept of people after the whole Josh and Relena thing had happened. But his wife to be was of course naive and innocent, even after all that had happened to her and he had to let out a sigh of frustration. He worried for her all the time, and yet she couldn't seem to get it into her thick skull what dangers she put herself into. She tried to see the good in every person she met, and that was problem number one. He loved her too dearly to let anything ever happen to her again, so he didn't even bother to attempt to plaster a happy face on his angered one. He looked threateningly at the guy on the other side of the video screen, but he seemed to look unfazed by it.
"What do you want?" Heero asked none to kindly
"Chill man, I just wanted to know if Rel and the girls had left yet." he said innocently
"What do you mean?"
"Ya know, the girls are supposed to meet me and the guys at the club tonight for some booty shaking"
Heero didn't like this guy one bit.
"I figure they left about fifteen minutes ago." he said in a firm tone
"Oh, well I guess I better get going. Later guy!" and he hung up.
Heero instantly got up, plucked a set of keys from their key rack and headed out the door. The guys, all looking over in his direction, got up and chased after him.
They piled into the car, not a single word was exchanged, and Heero drove off in the direction of the club.
"So what's happening?" asked Duo
"One of the guys from earlier on the beach just called. He says the guys are going to meet the girls at the club." No more questioning went on, the guys silently understood the situation. Heero was seething. How could she just let her safety slip through like that? What if all five of the men that were supposedly friendly had only put on an act just to lure them all in? What would happen if all the girls were taken? Sure they were all strong, but were they strong enough to go against five, muscled men? Doubts and worries filled Heero's mind as he sped towards the club. He knew he had told himself he would not fall for her trap, but if he didn't go, and something happened to her, he wasn't quite sure how he was going to handle it. He was not going to lose her.
Relena's POV
Relena was disappointed, the guys hadn't followed them yet, and she briefly wondered if they were too wrapped up in the game to even care that they could be potentially kidnaped or murdered.
Not even their jealousy boys, as they had decided to call them, had shown up. So they had entered the club and were currently dancing with some male gangsters. (A.N. They have the whole gangster look, ya know bandana's, dark clothes....let your imagination run wild).
Finally after the song had ended, Relena was tapped on the shoulder by Otto.
A.N. okay guys, I would go into detail about how the guys look and all, but I doubt that you would want me to drone on for hours......there's better stuff to write about then that - .So let's just say that they look HOT like.....pondering for a word.........ponder.....| raised hand like a bottle of tabasco sauce on a hotdog bun.....don't try it at home kiddies!
"Otto!" Relena said happily. If her stubborn fiancé wasn't going to show up, then at least she could have some fun tonight.
"Hey Rel. Sorry we're late, but we weren't sure if you girls were coming tonight, and plus Sylvester had some issues with his ma."
Relena stared up at him quizzically. Why would Sylvester have problems with his own mother? He was a grown man after all....
As if he was reading her mind, Otto put in "You know, the typical scenario. He missed last weeks Sunday dinner, his ma got mad at him and didn't speak to him all week, but she missed him so she came over to the house before we left and handed over a plate of lasagna as a peace offering."
"And it was mighty fine lasagna in deed" said Sylvester while rubbing his stomach.
The girls all laughed, having all congregated together, each standing beside one of the guys.
"So shall we dance?" asked Romeo.
They all nodded and headed out onto the dance floor.
Relena was immediately excited, the song playing was 'Yeah'. In fact, she was so wrapped up in the music, that she didn't even realize that she had been grinding with Otto, until the song was almost over. She blushed immensely as she felt something hard touch her thigh. But the thing that shocked her the most was when Otto bent down and kissed her on the mouth. Alarm bells instantly began ringing in her brain, and her eyes grew larger as she pulled away. And then, as if he didn't notice the change, he whispered in her three words that made her terrified beyond belief. "I want you" she stood rigid, completely in fear, scared to move even an inch.
Heero's POV Heero had just walked into the club, and skimmed the crowd for the girls, but by the time he found Relena, HE was kissing her. Anger rushed through him as he saw her go completely stiff and her eyes were glazed over in terror. Heero understood her reaction completely, she had been touched and forced on by a man she thought was her friend. It was Heero's worst fear, to have something like that happen to her again, so he didn't even think twice about pushing Otto as far away from her as possible, and picking his fragile love up and carrying her away. He ignored the stares of the people in the club, and the music which had seemed to stop. When he looked back he saw Otto with a shocked face, being pulled away by Trowa, obviously to explain the situation.
Heero drove Relena home in his car and brought her inside to their bedroom.
"Relena?" He asked, concern lacing his tone. He looked down at the girl before him, eyes closed tightly, and a look of pain on her face as if she were being badly beaten. She whimpered at his call.
"Relena, please answer me, it's Heero." Heero sat down beside her on the bed and pulled her into his arms, and she knotted her hands into his shirt, sinking her head into his chest. Heero sighed and let her stay that way for a while. After the shock seemed to wear off, she cried silently, and then eventually she fell asleep.
Dammit! Why couldn't he protect her? Why couldn't he take her pain away?
Trowa's POV
Trowa followed Heero's line of vision to Relena, and saw what Otto was doing to her. Trowa had been ready to beat Otto to the brink of death at that particular moment, but all such thoughts cleared out of his mind when Heero rushed to her rescue.
Relena was one of his closest friends, and certainly one of the very few he ever opened up to. She was like a little sister he never had and he treated her as if she were family. (A.N. what's funny is that Catherine is his sister teehee...only not in this story she isn't).
The thought of someone damaging the pure angels heart had bothered him to no end, and still at nights he thought about it, and he was certain every friend of Relena's did as well. She was the last person that deserved to have harm come to her.
So the next best thing to helping her out, was to deal with Otto as Heero carried her away to safety.
"Come on" Trowa said while grabbing hold of a confused Otto. To Trowa, although he hated to admit it, Otto had done nothing particularly wrong, because he had no clue as to what struggles Relena had gone through. Otto did not resist as Trowa dragged him away to the basement of the club, almost completely deserted, except for the occasional couple, oblivious to the world around them.
"What....?" asked Otto
"What did you say to Relena?" Trowa asked out of curiosity, and Otto blushed.
"Huh?" he asked innocently
"What did you say to Relena?" He repeated
"Ummm" But Trowa's patience was growing thin, so he slammed Otto against the wall and stared him in the eye, sending a death glare that could match Heero's.
"What did you say?" "I said I wanted her" Otto barely whispered. Trowa released him and he slid down the wall.
"Bastard. Didn't you know she's engaged?" Trowa asked while spitting on the ground, the whole situation disgusted him to no end.
"No!? How was I supposed to know that she was? I've only just met her." Otto said defensively.
"So are you saying that you would have gone to bed with a woman you just met, just like that? You low life you disgust me. She's worth more then a one night stand." Trowa retaliated.
"Dude no hard feelings, but are you in love with her or something?"
Trowa thought about this for a moment and then answered simply. "Who couldn't love her?"
With that, Trowa walked away, but not before saying his last words over his shoulder. "I advise that you stay away from Relena, I don't think she'll want to see you anymore, and I'm positive her fiancé will beat you to death in an instant. No regrets."
Trowa waltzed up the stairs and to where the group was waiting for him. Catherine put an arm around his waist, and together they walked off in the direction of the cars, and set off with the others to Relena and Heero's home.
Relena's POV
Relena looked sullen faced down at the stack of bills that had seemed to pile notoriously on her kitchen table. She turned her head around and closed her eyes, willing the bills to disappear. But when she turned back around, and peeked at the table through one eye, she sighed heavily. The stupid things would never go away, because once she got rid of them, they would only come back again. She dreaded the 26 th of each month, the time when she would sit in front of her table, bank card, visa card, check book, bank book, pen and calculator in hand. Relena reached out her hand slowly, forcing herself to take hold of the first bill at the top of the pile. Carefully she picked it up, as if it were about to shock her, and snatched it back before her hand could touch any of the other awaiting bills. Tearing open the flap, she pulled out the simple white sheet of paper. Opening it up, she found her cell phone bill with Rogers. The bill came to $30. Her usual monthly fee. She quickly, with much skill, wrote out a check and placed it back in an envelope. Sealing it, she put it on the opposite side of the pile of bills that needed to be paid.
The pile took her a long time to get through, and gradually it was becoming smaller. She smiled as she finished. She had just paid off her: Internet, Gas, phone, cell phone, electricity and, mortgage bills.
Smiling, she headed off to her bedroom to take a shower. She needed to relax her muscles and not-so-pretty smelling body. Earlier that morning, Heero and the other guys had taken off, after Relena had insisted she would be alright, and the girls had all gone shopping. That had also taken Relena a lot of convincing on her part to get them to leave her alone and quit their mothering.
Relena had been very terrified of what Otto had said and done to her, and she had had flashbacks of what Josh had done to her all night, haunting her. She was glad to find that she was in Heero's arms the next morning. But she also was very angry at herself for her absurd behavior. Poor Otto probably had no clue what had happened, and he wasn't a bad guy at all, she was sure of it. She had just over reacted, and he had just been caught up in the moment.
So she told herself that everything was fine, and repeated that to her friends and love so that they would leave her alone. The truth however, was that although she tried to appear it, she was far from alright. Ever since Josh had raped her, she had carried a heavy heart, secretly scared of every man she saw. But she never let any of her fear show, she wore a mask instead. The bills had given her a refuge to normality as she continued her daily routine to get back into gear. She stepped into the shower and allowed the warm water to pound on her body.
When she was satisfied with her cleansing, and her hands started to shrivel from the warm water, she stepped out and changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. She pulled her wet hair into a pony tail and then went out of the house for a run. Running would release all the tension she had built up and would make her feel better. She would probably even take a shower again after she had worked her already tired body to its limits. But she also needed to get back into shape for surfing. After all, she wasn't going to lose to Heero, even after all that had happened to her.
She smiled. She was a fighter, and she was going to hang in there to the end, it's how she got her peaceful ways politically.
The wind blew past her as she urged her muscles to run faster and faster, suddenly though, her heart rate sped up unnaturally high, and her breathing became labored and difficult. She stopped running all together and collapsed on the side of the trail she was running on.
Her chest was hurting, and it felt as if her abdomen was being ripped to pieces. She felt all hot and dizzy all at once, but just as fast as the feeling had come, it left again, and the pain went away.
Panting, Relena got up and headed back home. Something was wrong with her, and she had no clue as to what. But she wasn't about to tell anyone because already her loved ones were worrying about her. She didn't know what she would do if they locked her up in a room all day just to keep her safe. She shuddered at the thought. This was probably just some bad cramps from running, she shouldn't even have thought it to be anything else in the first place.
When she got home, she yet again took another shower, only hoping that none of the pains she had experienced earlier would come back........she could only hope.
A.N. So how was that guys? I think it was pretty eventful. And what's wrong with Relena? Dun dun dun...I promise there will be a reason for it on the way..and don't get mad at me. I don't hate Relena, I love her, so don't beat on me kay? I'll try and update sooner for the next chapter but no promises.
C ya later Alligators!
REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW Or I shall become grumpy and not write a single word down on paper excluding homework ever again! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Chapter 6: The Tyranny of it all!
Relena and the girls were devising a plan to sneak out of the house. They had to figure out a way to get passed the guys, naturally. And with each of them working for preventors, had gundam training, and went on continuous missions, they knew that it would be difficult to get past such experts.
All 5 of them poked their heads out the door and tried to make out the guys bodies from their view.

Not even their jealousy boys, as they had decided to call them, had shown up. So they had entered the club and were currently dancing with some male gangsters. (A.N. They have the whole gangster look, ya know bandana's, dark clothes....let your imagination run wild).
Finally after the song had ended, Relena was tapped on the shoulder by Otto.
A.N. okay guys, I would go into detail about how the guys look and all, but I doubt that you would want me to drone on for hours......there's better stuff to write about then that - .So let's just say that they look HOT like.....pondering for a word.........ponder.....| raised hand like a bottle of tabasco sauce on a hotdog bun.....don't try it at home kiddies!
"Otto!" Relena said happily. If her stubborn fiancé wasn't going to show up, then at least she could have some fun tonight.
"Hey Rel. Sorry we're late, but we weren't sure if you girls were coming tonight, and plus Sylvester had some issues with his ma."
Relena stared up at him quizzically. Why would Sylvester have problems with his own mother? He was a grown man after all....
As if he was reading her mind, Otto put in "You know, the typical scenario. He missed last weeks Sunday dinner, his ma got mad at him and didn't speak to him all week, but she missed him so she came over to the house before we left and handed over a plate of lasagna as a peace offering."
"And it was mighty fine lasagna in deed" said Sylvester while rubbing his stomach.
The girls all laughed, having all congregated together, each standing beside one of the guys.
"So shall we dance?" asked Romeo.
They all nodded and headed out onto the dance floor.
Relena was immediately excited, the song playing was 'Yeah'. In fact, she was so wrapped up in the music, that she didn't even realize that she had been grinding with Otto, until the song was almost over. She blushed immensely as she felt something hard touch her thigh. But the thing that shocked her the most was when Otto bent down and kissed her on the mouth. Alarm bells instantly began ringing in her brain, and her eyes grew larger as she pulled away. And then, as if he didn't notice the change, he whispered in her three words that made her terrified beyond belief. "I want you" she stood rigid, completely in fear, scared to move even an inch.
Heero's POV Heero had just walked into the club, and skimmed the crowd for the girls, but by the time he found Relena, HE was kissing her. Anger rushed through him as he saw her go completely stiff and her eyes were glazed over in terror. Heero understood her reaction completely, she had been touched and forced on by a man she thought was her friend. It was Heero's worst fear, to have something like that happen to her again, so he didn't even think twice about pushing Otto as far away from her as possible, and picking his fragile love up and carrying her away. He ignored the stares of the people in the club, and the music which had seemed to stop. When he looked back he saw Otto with a shocked face, being pulled away by Trowa, obviously to explain the situation.
Heero drove Relena home in his car and brought her inside to their bedroom.
"Relena?" He asked, concern lacing his tone. He looked down at the girl before him, eyes closed tightly, and a look of pain on her face as if she were being badly beaten. She whimpered at his call.
"Relena, please answer me, it's Heero." Heero sat down beside her on the bed and pulled her into his arms, and she knotted her hands into his shirt, sinking her head into his chest. Heero sighed and let her stay that way for a while. After the shock seemed to wear off, she cried silently, and then eventually she fell asleep.
Dammit! Why couldn't he protect her? Why couldn't he take her pain away?
Trowa's POV
Trowa followed Heero's line of vision to Relena, and saw what Otto was doing to her. Trowa had been ready to beat Otto to the brink of death at that particular moment, but all such thoughts cleared out of his mind when Heero rushed to her rescue.
Relena was one of his closest friends, and certainly one of the very few he ever opened up to. She was like a little sister he never had and he treated her as if she were family. (A.N. what's funny is that Catherine is his sister teehee...only not in this story she isn't).
The thought of someone damaging the pure angels heart had bothered him to no end, and still at nights he thought about it, and he was certain every friend of Relena's did as well. She was the last person that deserved to have harm come to her.
So the next best thing to helping her out, was to deal with Otto as Heero carried her away to safety.
"Come on" Trowa said while grabbing hold of a confused Otto. To Trowa, although he hated to admit it, Otto had done nothing particularly wrong, because he had no clue as to what struggles Relena had gone through. Otto did not resist as Trowa dragged him away to the basement of the club, almost completely deserted, except for the occasional couple, oblivious to the world around them.
"What....?" asked Otto
"What did you say to Relena?" Trowa asked out of curiosity, and Otto blushed.
"Huh?" he asked innocently
"What did you say to Relena?" He repeated
"Ummm" But Trowa's patience was growing thin, so he slammed Otto against the wall and stared him in the eye, sending a death glare that could match Heero's.
"What did you say?" "I said I wanted her" Otto barely whispered. Trowa released him and he slid down the wall.
"Bastard. Didn't you know she's engaged?" Trowa asked while spitting on the ground, the whole situation disgusted him to no end.
"No!? How was I supposed to know that she was? I've only just met her." Otto said defensively.
"So are you saying that you would have gone to bed with a woman you just met, just like that? You low life you disgust me. She's worth more then a one night stand." Trowa retaliated.
"Dude no hard feelings, but are you in love with her or something?"
Trowa thought about this for a moment and then answered simply. "Who couldn't love her?"
With that, Trowa walked away, but not before saying his last words over his shoulder. "I advise that you stay away from Relena, I don't think she'll want to see you anymore, and I'm positive her fiancé will beat you to death in an instant. No regrets."
Trowa waltzed up the stairs and to where the group was waiting for him. Catherine put an arm around his waist, and together they walked off in the direction of the cars, and set off with the others to Relena and Heero's home.
Relena's POV
Relena looked sullen faced down at the stack of bills that had seemed to pile notoriously on her kitchen table. She turned her head around and closed her eyes, willing the bills to disappear. But when she turned back around, and peeked at the table through one eye, she sighed heavily. The stupid things would never go away, because once she got rid of them, they would only come back again. She dreaded the 26 th of each month, the time when she would sit in front of her table, bank card, visa card, check book, bank book, pen and calculator in hand. Relena reached out her hand slowly, forcing herself to take hold of the first bill at the top of the pile. Carefully she picked it up, as if it were about to shock her, and snatched it back before her hand could touch any of the other awaiting bills. Tearing open the flap, she pulled out the simple white sheet of paper. Opening it up, she found her cell phone bill with Rogers. The bill came to $30. Her usual monthly fee. She quickly, with much skill, wrote out a check and placed it back in an envelope. Sealing it, she put it on the opposite side of the pile of bills that needed to be paid.
The pile took her a long time to get through, and gradually it was becoming smaller. She smiled as she finished. She had just paid off her: Internet, Gas, phone, cell phone, electricity and, mortgage bills.
Smiling, she headed off to her bedroom to take a shower. She needed to relax her muscles and not-so-pretty smelling body. Earlier that morning, Heero and the other guys had taken off, after Relena had insisted she would be alright, and the girls had all gone shopping. That had also taken Relena a lot of convincing on her part to get them to leave her alone and quit their mothering.
Relena had been very terrified of what Otto had said and done to her, and she had had flashbacks of what Josh had done to her all night, haunting her. She was glad to find that she was in Heero's arms the next morning. But she also was very angry at herself for her absurd behavior. Poor Otto probably had no clue what had happened, and he wasn't a bad guy at all, she was sure of it. She had just over reacted, and he had just been caught up in the moment.
So she told herself that everything was fine, and repeated that to her friends and love so that they would leave her alone. The truth however, was that although she tried to appear it, she was far from alright. Ever since Josh had raped her, she had carried a heavy heart, secretly scared of every man she saw. But she never let any of her fear show, she wore a mask instead. The bills had given her a refuge to normality as she continued her daily routine to get back into gear. She stepped into the shower and allowed the warm water to pound on her body.
When she was satisfied with her cleansing, and her hands started to shrivel from the warm water, she stepped out and changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. She pulled her wet hair into a pony tail and then went out of the house for a run. Running would release all the tension she had built up and would make her feel better. She would probably even take a shower again after she had worked her already tired body to its limits. But she also needed to get back into shape for surfing. After all, she wasn't going to lose to Heero, even after all that had happened to her.
She smiled. She was a fighter, and she was going to hang in there to the end, it's how she got her peaceful ways politically.
The wind blew past her as she urged her muscles to run faster and faster, suddenly though, her heart rate sped up unnaturally high, and her breathing became labored and difficult. She stopped running all together and collapsed on the side of the trail she was running on.
Her chest was hurting, and it felt as if her abdomen was being ripped to pieces. She felt all hot and dizzy all at once, but just as fast as the feeling had come, it left again, and the pain went away.
Panting, Relena got up and headed back home. Something was wrong with her, and she had no clue as to what. But she wasn't about to tell anyone because already her loved ones were worrying about her. She didn't know what she would do if they locked her up in a room all day just to keep her safe. She shuddered at the thought. This was probably just some bad cramps from running, she shouldn't even have thought it to be anything else in the first place.
When she got home, she yet again took another shower, only hoping that none of the pains she had experienced earlier would come back........she could only hope.
A.N. So how was that guys? I think it was pretty eventful. And what's wrong with Relena? Dun dun dun...I promise there will be a reason for it on the way..and don't get mad at me. I don't hate Relena, I love her, so don't beat on me kay? I'll try and update sooner for the next chapter but no promises.
C ya later Alligators!
