Mithros- Yep, I really, really didn't want to write a plague, but it popped into my head followed by this chapter. And it doesn't kill everyone, in fact it ussually only targets those twenty five or younger. The plague was what I needed to fix Relena's and Trowa's relationship. What is The Handmaiden's Tale about, and who is it by? The government's plan sort of makes sense if you think about it in an emotionless unattached way, as the world suddenly had a deficit of people and to fix the problem people had to settle down and have children. Thanks for your review.

Lady Tigeress- Me? Make a virus? Would I do that? ::Whistles innocently:: Just kidding, I'm not that type of person, I may massacure the English language at times, but I wouldn't massacure people.There was at least one clue I put in the last chapter and there is at least one more in this chapter. I haven't decided whether or not to give the terrorist group a name, as they are wiped out, and will only be refered to in the journal a few more times if will goes according to plan. I'm glad I give you stuff to think about all day, but I hope I don't distract you from your schoolwork. Thanks for reviewing.

Chapter 18

It's been two weeks since my last entry and I have wonderful news and terrible news. I'll start with the good news, shall I? I managed to fix my relationship with Trowa. He wasn't unwilling to try to make our marriage work, as I had thought he would be, after all of my coolness, and horrible treatment of him. Actually He seemed rather thrilled at the prospect. He even suggested that we went out on a couple of dates to get to know each other better, and we spend an hour in the library every afternoon conversing and reading, and we still take all of our meals together, but instead of ignoring each other we talk. At least that's what we did before Trowa caught the Red Vengeance.

We didn't even know he had it until he returned from a mission which he won't say anything about. We suspect that it was a rescue mission that went wrong somehow, and he came across someone who was caring the plague, either knowingly of unknowingly. He is already in the third stage which I didn't record because of it's gruesomeness. The third stage is where the blood starts to literally boil, this both dehydrates the body and is extremely painful. At least I can sit with him since they have set up a machine that is constantly killing the airborne plague virus. It's part of the treatment, but the doctors say that he only has a one in ten chance of surviving, and a one in a hundred chance of surviving with either his mind or body intact, and a one in twenty-thousand shot of him surviving and still being exactly how he was before. Still if anyone will do it he will.

Yoseph is here, and helping me cope. He's told me that they believe that the two betrayals are linked, and so far they can only find four possible links. One is my friend Michelle Hessey, who had worked with Rudolfus Troy several times in the past, and was the one who vouched for the informant who gave us information about the slavers' camp. I pray that it isn't her because we have been friends since we were little children. The second possible link is my father, I'm sorry to say. He was the on who brought Rudolfus Troy into our organization, and the one who found our informant, when we needed information about the slaver's camp. The third possible link is the one which I believe it is. The third link is Counselor Jane Goodman, who was dating Rudolfus Troy, and is sister to the informant. The forth link was Rudolfus Troy and the informant themselves, as the had made several suspicious telephone calls to each other in a short period of time, when they supposedly never knew each other.

I'm going to let Anna add to this journal entry about what is happening in the Karinos United Rebellion. This is Relena Kushrenada signing out.

This is Anna Olsen again. Well, I'm glad that I'm being allow to write another entry for you folks to read, but I wish it had been under better circumstances.

The Karinos United Rebellion is having many problems, many don't want to follow me, and others are starting to think more of the dangers that come with being part of a rebellion, all because of what happened to Prince Trowa. I have never been a popular second in command, not because of who I am, but rather because of what I am in the Palace. Prince Trowa always managed to keep those who didn't like me in check however, but now that he's out of the picture for the moment, those that don't like me are spreading rumors that I infected him by either giving him a shot of it or by releasing some of it the air of his room. Those that are worried about the dangers, are starting to drop out to protect themselves and their families. If something doesn't happen soon to stop these patterns, either I will be overthrown by power-hungry jerks, or there will be no more Karinos United Rebellion. But how can I change these patterns?

Wait, I wonder if joining with a older and stronger rebellion, like Mistress Relena's, might help, as there would be less danger for all those who would be part of it, because there are more people and a good solid backing. Also it would stop those who were complaining about me because there would be people above me. I'll have to ask Mistress Relena what she thinks.

Also there is one more problem that would be fixed by joining with Mistress Relena's rebellion which we have been struggling with since the beginnings of the Karinos United Rebellion, and that is the lack of training. The reason we haven't got the training down, is because we have no members with previous experience in this sort of thing so we didn't know how to train others to be part a rebellion.

This idea keeps sounding better and better. I have to go now, as I still have chores and Mistress Relena only gave me an hour to write this entry. Your Excited Servant, Anna Olsen.
