Lady Tigeress- Well, it seems that appearances may be deceiving. Yup, Connie Chang, I thought it was clever. Thanks for reviewing.
pushpitake- I'm glad that someone say that there was a plot twist coming. I will be updating the family tree chapter to include a who is on what side bit, but it may take a while. It was a good idea and I'm planning to use it. It probably will make it a lot easier on you readers, but it will also help me keep track of who is on what side. Thank you for your review.
Bama- It's okay, it happens to all of us. You can't find one mistake? Wow, that is impressive. I was worried that I was rushing the generations, and letting it slow down the plotline. I do think that the characters not all loving each other is an important aspect, I did that because when I at my family, not everyone loves everyone else. A big part of this family seems to be that everyone dislikes Relena. The political aspect is another thing that comes from my family, almost everyone has an opinion and WILL voice it, even if they have to shout over the rest. Hate and dislike are parts of life. No, you weren't talking in circles, at least I think I got what you were saying. Thanks for your review.
Author's Note: I'm sorry that it has been so long since I last posted, but it has been one thing after another, starting with my brother's girlfriend coming to visit. After the girlfriend's visit, there was my college courses starting, and at the same time I hit a nasty spot of writer's block. Chapters may take a little longer to get posted, because of school, so please forgive me. Please accept my humblest apologies, and enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 7
My name is Rachel Kushrenada. My insane mother kept her promise and past this journal down to me. My family, if they can be called that, has be the lunatics that lead the worthless and idiotic rebellion. I was indeed brought up to lead the next hopeless, bumbling and incompetent generation of the rebellion, but luckily our wonderful and competent Government made home and private schooling illegal, thus letting me find out where our "family" is wrong.
You are probably very confused, as if you have been reading this journal from the beginning. It started with my great-great-grandfather who was a type of murderer at that point known as a soldier/ gundam pilot/ mercenary/ free-lance preventer. My great-great-grandmother was Relena Peacecraft (the last sane person before me, as far as I can tell). She started to have legal executions of these murderers, thus starting the trouble. Even though she was correct in destroying those trouble makers, some people started taking the side of the murderers. Right before the last execution, my great-great-grandmother... how shall I put this, I know... had an intimate relationship with one of those who were to die, and got herself pregnant. That child she named Heeroness Yuy after the father of her child, Heero Yuy. Unfortunately this gave the child the idea that her father was on the side of right and the her mother was on the side of evil, which is of course ludicrous. That child started a rebellion to overthrow the Government. Ever since then the rebellion has been past down through my quote unquote family.
Now you know the truth. I wonder who you believe...
I don't suppose it really matters, as what you believe won't change the truth...
I bet that you're wondering why I even bothered to write an entry. It's simple, I don't want to be forgotten. Writing a journal entry seems to be a fair trade for eternal life. Then there is the fact that it gave me a chance to set the story straight.
I'm scared to die, I really am...
And yet I'm going to die so soon. How do I know?
I know because I'm pregnant and my body is not suitable to bear children. I will die as my child is born...
I feel bad to you who are reading this, I do not mean to foist my personal fears on to you, but I'm so scared and writing this down helps me to face my fears...
What... It's starting...
It too early...
My name is Bradley Kushrenada, I know that I should have started another entry but it somehow feels more fitting that I just jot this down here. Rachel died giving birth to Relena (Rachel's choice of name) Kushrenada. She will be brought up knowing the truth that her family taught.
I can just see your shocked faces here. You see I never agreed with Rachel about that, about most things actually.
Relena came about due to an agreement with Rachel. Rachel had decided she loved me, I don't and didn't love her. She made me a deal, I give her a couple of chances to change my mind, and after that she doesn't bother me again. She seduced me, used me, and got pregnant. I married her, because I believe in morality (hard as it may be to believe) and taking responsibility for your actions. Relena was three months premature, and Rachel didn't have a chance.
My beautiful baby girl will be the next leader of the rebellion...
I hope that she will have the ability to do it...
I hope she will want to do it.
