Lady Tigeress- Good, I was afraid that I wouldn't make them noticeable enough for people to notice them. Ok, I'll try to work in a name for the terrorist group, the question is how to do it without making it seem odd. You are right about a name being a way to concrete them in the journal as an important part of the history which I've been building. Me? Kill poor Trowa? Would I do that? ::Blinks innocently:: Why would I do something like that? ...Ok, ok, I have done some things like that in other entry's, so you'll just have to wait and see. Thank you for your review.

Mithros- Boy, I guess people would mind if I killed Trowa. That's two poor Trowa's in two reviews. Thanks for reviewing.

Bama- Alone and lost? Why would you feel that? Yes, I made Trowa sick. ::Smirks devilishly:: I'm not a bitch, though I may have the temperament of one at times, I am human. However, about Trowa dying, would I do that when it's what everyone what everyone expects? Then again I could be playing a horrible mind game, leading you to believe that he's going to live from what he's said, and then kill him. No problem about not reviewing, I understand that real life sometimes interferes with reading, writing, and reviewing. I hope you do well on your tests. What was the mistake? I would like to fix it. Yes, I know that they have to have a child, but she could already be pregnant, who said that they didn't consummate their marriage? Thanks for your review.

Author's Note: I'm sorry that it's been so long since my last chapter, and I'm afraid that it will probably take awhile for each of the next couple of chapters, because unfortunately real life and even worse writer's block have gotten in the way. My geology course has started doing a lot of field trips with field reports that will be due, which will eat up almost all of my time. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Please enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 19

The treatment doesn't seem to be working. The doctors say that he has another two weeks tops to live. It's so quiet now that the doctors and nurses have left. It feels like death has already made itself welcome, what with the dead silence, muffled whispers, and unnaturally still air. The only place where there is constant sound is in the sick room, where the buzzing of the machines that clean the air hung ominously.

Trowa looks absolutely horrible, but there is something odd happening, his skin is pale, but still seems to be somewhat healthy. He spends more of his time asleep, only occasionally waking to drink some broth and birch and willow bark tea (his favorite type of tea though only heaven knows why as it's very bitter and has a strange after flavor.). Another odd thing is that he lies still in his bed, usually those with the Red Vengeance toss an turn until death takes them. It is strange the minute he starts to toss and turn, he wakes and hoarsely begs for tea and broth.

The government has finally discovered the lair of the rebellious faction that sent this plague upon the earth. The government had hoped that they had created a vaccine to counter act their plague, but unfortunately they didn't. However the government did find files of all their plans, research, and assorted paperwork. Even the name of the group, which they had worked so hard to hide from everyone. It seems that they called themselves Red Freedom. Fitting I suppose.

Small rebellions are still popping up, mostly due to the childbearing law. Larger rebellions are swallowing the smaller ones, and are merging with other large rebellions. I have heard that ours is largest by far and has the most allies. Somehow I don't really care anymore... I wonder if I ever really did care... I can't even remember, me the leader of the largest rebellion can't even remember such a trivial detail.

My rebellion has found out the reasons about why the government passed the childbearing law, even though they knew it would be very unpopular and would turn even more people against them. They had two major reasons, and a number of minor reasons. The first major reason was that they thought that people having children depending on them would stop them from doing something as dangerous as joining a rebellion. The second major reason was to repopulate, as the whole earth lost many of it's citizens. They were rather smart if you thing about it from their point of view, cold-blooded, but absolutely brilliant.

I'm sitting by Trowa's bed as I write this entry. It seems to have become my favorite place to sit. It seems like this is where I spend all of my free time. Would you believe that I've fallen in love with my husband? My hated husband, my despised husband, my despicable, awful, horrible, stupid, dreadful husband. The one whom I spent so much of my time fighting, the one who I ignored, the one who has every reason to hate me. I would do almost anything to tell him, to bear my soul to him and accept his rejection, or his love of me... but it seems that it is not to be.

I've just realized, if Trowa dies, then I'll have to re-marry as I'm not pregnant, at least I don't think I am. And whomever I marry will become the king of Karinos, and I will have to bear their child. I can't do that. I wouldn't love whomever it was I would have to marry, I just couldn't... consummate a marriage to someone I didn't love.

Whatever will I do? Wait, many of Karinos' citizens only accept me as princess because I'm married to Trowa, will they still accept me if I'm forced to re-marry? Will Trowa dying cause a civil war? I wish I understood more about the monarchy, and how the common people think about it. I just don't have a head for politics, I suppose.

Nothing has gone right for me and Trowa since we met, think about it. We met because we were being forced to marry, and he thought I was a government spy and I believed that he was a spy so we fought, sulked, and avoided each other. Then I went on a mission, and he read and wrote in this journal, so that I got mad when I found out. Then we are finally starting to get along and become friends, he get so sick that he's about to die. Why is this happening? I know that this must be a part of the divine plan, but why? Shouldn't Trowa and I get some rest from troubles? Are we such bad people? Why do bad things happen to decent people? Why does it seem like we are getting more than our share of misery?

Trowa is starting to toss and turn, and his fever has returned. He will awake in a moment. This is Relena Argorg signing out.
