Watching Over You
Chapter 7: In The Hands of The Enemy
Relena still couldn't get Marvin's rescue off her mind. He's a good kid, that's all. He saved you, be grateful... And now, we're being kidnapped off to some place-we don't know where.. I'm such a curse.. She shook her head, forcing her delicate heart not to feel self-pity. No, Heero wouldn't want that... Feeling that way is weak... I must be strong! For Heero, Marvin, the Sanc Kingdom and myself...
The car swerved, knocking Heero and Relena's heads together. Heero sensed Relena was suffering from emotional pain now. Physical really brings it on, after having a rough day... If only she knew I was Heero, then she'd feel safe...
"Miss Relena, are you alright?" He asked, voice shaky. Relena winced and tried to smile; her right hand rubbing her head, "Yes, I'll be alright, thank you. Marvin... Are you scared?" Heero nodded, trying to look ashamed.
"Don't be," Her soft voice told him. "I'm here. Wherever they're taking us-I promise to protect you... So, don't be afraid. Okay?"
Heero's throat went dry. She's trying to protect me-no, Marvin... Relena... His heart stung when she cried out in pain with the next rough turn of the car. He grabbed hold of her and held her close. "Please, Miss Relena, just rest... I'll watch over you now."
Relena's heart beat rapidly, then soothed back down. Nothing wrong with a little rest... Even though now is not the time... Why should it be wrong though? There's nothing I can do at the moment... No paperwork, no party, we're in a driving car... I trust Marvin will wake me when the time comes... I will rest, despite our position... We are in the hands of the enemy... And there is nothing we can do...
