Watching Over You
Chapter 6: To The Peace Party
The previous day Relena had dealt with business and escorting a student around, and now she had a new day filled with errands and paperwork and the "Peace Party", that she had to attend.
The "Peace Party" isn't such a problem, and it's important, but... Relena sighed and got dressed, deciding that there was no reason to be overwhelmed.
"Miss Relena," Pegan approached her, "We will need to be at the 'Peace Party' at six 'o clock."
"Alright, Pegan." She said and got on with her day. Before she knew it, it was four-thirty p.m. The maids rushed into her room and helped her dress into her evening gown. The white dress swayed around her ankles, almost touching her white heels. Her hair was up in a bun and she wore a necklace, a pair of earrings and light make-up.
She stepped out of her bedroom and listened to the sound of her heels against the stone ground. One thought played over and over through her head: the threat letter.
"If you, Relena Peacecraft, attend the Peace Party we'll shoot you. Don't attend the Peace Party, or you will be killed once we find you." It was a bold letter, and there would be plenty of guards, but still, the whole deal had her worried to the bone. She finally got to her limo, but Marvin was right behind her.
"Marvin-" She started, but stopped after he smiled widely at her. He slipped in the car, sitting at her side, "Yes, Miss Relena?" She was confused. [I]What is he doing here!?
"I've never been to a Peace Party before. It'll be great to really see our Kingdom in action!" Heero faked an excited tone. The car took off and they were on their way to the party.
He might get hurt! Relena fret mentally.
Great, Heero thought, now I'm at her side. This is perfect. She's be safe now. He relaxed as the limo drove down the dusk-lit streets. Heero's instincts rushed through his body a shock-he grabbed the back of Relena's neck and pulled her down, not even a second later a bullets pierced the back window-glass flew at their backs. The car came to a halting stop-tires squeaking.
"Marvin-how did you know?" Relena asked, wide-eyed. Heero kept his hand on her neck, "I saw them in a reflection." As long as she's safe, it doesn't matter if I blow my cover now. He thought, then trained his eyes onto the rearview mirror. The car started to speed forward, in the direction they were heading, then took a sharp left.
"Pegan! What are you-" Relena stopped at Marvin's order to look back. Pegan was laying still in the streets, then was soon out of view.
We're being kidnapped-oh no! I knew Marvin shouldn't have come! Relena wanted to cry. If the innocent boy died, it was all her fault. He shouldn't have to die this way.
Great. I'm right where I wanna be.. Heero grinned mentally.
