Lady Tigeress- Yup, The Husband, I put it like that to show that Relena is still less than pleased with her husband. Watch and wait, I am planning to connect the betrayals, so there will be little clues to hint at the link in the next few chapters. Thank you for your review.
Mithros- Cliff hanger? What cliff hanger? I didn't see a cliff hanger. I'm glad, happy, overjoyed, and thrilled that you are enjoying the story. Thanks for reviewing.
Chapter 17
There was a disaster this last month which is why I haven't written for so long. I'll start where I left off in my last entry, which is to say with my husband coming in. He had came to tell me of the newest plague. It attacks and kills or cripples those that catch it. The Red Plague, the Blood Plague, the Red Vengeance. It had been released by a terrorist group, made up of fifteen to twenty-nine year olds, because of the "marriage law", as it is commonly called. How they got it to spread was to send out several suicide squads, one infected member in every major city.
The Red Vengeance is a highly contagious disease, and even breathing the same air as one who is infected can cause you to catch it. It is also very hearty, as it can last up to thirty-six hours without a host. It is very contagious, even in the early stages where it cannot be detected. The first sign of the Red Vengeance is an out breaking of scaly greenish-gray lumps, which usually start in the private areas of the body and slowly progress to covering the full body. Shortly after the scaly bumps appear, a high temperature accompanying cold sweats and fits of passing out. I'm going to skip over the most unpleasant parts of this disease straight to the end where you start coughing up blood, and die shortly after. The Red Vengeance mostly only affects people between the ages of one and twenty-five.
The doctors have finally found a cure for the Red Vengeance, but it usually only works if the person in question is treated with it immediately after the scaly bumps break out, and even then it's only a fifty-fifty shot that the person will survive. But still it's the best they can come up with so far, and it's better than nothing. The doctor's are still trying to find a better solution.
The terrorist group sent out a release to the press three days after they released this... this HORROR upon the Earth, explaining why they had done this, and that they felt that it was worth dying to save others form the marriages. They thought they would wipe out everyone between one and twenty-five. They WANTED to kill everybody between those ages. At least they admitted that their "great plan" would need everyone in their organization to sacrifice themselves to accomplish it. They want into great detail on how the disease they created would work. They thought it was invincible. Thank goodness that they were wrong. The doctor's have found a way to destroy the virus while it is infesting the air, so in a few days it will be much harder to catch the Red Vengeance. Why would anyone do this?
Because of this disaster the Earth Sphere United Alliance/Colony C.R.U.S.H. Unified government has passed a new law the states: Any marriage that ended in divorce, annulment, or any other form of such is re-instated unless (a) one or both members are already married to another (b) one member is dead or dying (c) other unstated reasons, which will be decided upon at a formal hearing of the Earth Sphere United Alliance/Colony C.R.U.S.H. Unified government. Further more all those physically able to have children, if the female of the relationship is at least sixteen years of age, must have one by the time of their third anniversary, or have a reason ready to state at a formal hearing of the Earth Sphere United Alliance/Colony C.R.U.S.H. Unified government.
Can you believe that? I'm going to have to have a child within three years and a month. That's right my birthday is in a month, and then I will be forced to comply with law 10079864 subsection B. I suppose that it is time for me to try to fix this marriage, because there is no way in hell that I will go to bed with a man I hate, not if I can help it anyways.
This newest law is going to do nothing for the morale of the people. What with the marriage law, then the plague, and now the new law, they need something to boost their spirits. But what? I'll have to think about it.
What would you do if you were in my shoes, my dear reader? I don't know how I can fix things. How do you make people forget all of the bad things that happened to them? How do you make them forget about a plague and the fact that the government is forcing their children to marry and have children? How do you make people forget that their lives and country is in the hands of two teenagers, which only a select few know personally, and only a percent of those people that know them like them? How do I fix things? I'm only a scared little girl who wants her daddy...
Wait, would that work? It would be something for the people to look forward to and celebrate... But the question is can I get a hold of him? Is he even still alive, it's been so long since we last spoke.
Thank you my beloved future reader, for writing to you has given me an idea, but I'll have to go and do some research. Before I go I'm going to tell you that my dear friend and second in command, Yoseph Peterson, is coming to visit me.
