Previously,

Heero awoke with a jerk to find the others asleep and Relena resting soundlessly. He looked around with an uneasy feeling as he got to his feet, feeling himself drawn to something. The wind seemed to draw him towards a door, He took a shaking step, not seeming to have control over his body as the house pulled him further and further from his friends and nearer to his death...

Chapter 7:

He walked slowly, each feet seeming to drag on the dusty wood floor which turned to stone soon as he climbed his way up the stairs...

'Stop it!' He thought rapidly, trying to stop his body from moving and turn around. 'K'so!' He thought, trying to grab onto the stone walls to stop himself as he made his way higher and higher to a tower. As the spiral staircase leads up further and further to his unknown destination.

He stopped, seemingly surprised by the sudden action after trying everything to stop moving. He stood before a door. His hand quivered as he raised it, further more as his fingers touched the cold handle, which opened to the room. He twisted it, a gust feeling inside him made him want to jerk away. Something wasn't right and he had come to trust his soldier instincts.

He walked inside the room that seemed vaguely familiar. Something passed through his mind and he grasped it against his will, loosing all control over himself. He fell to his knees and placed a hand on the floor as the painful memory rushed back.

FLASHBACK

His prussain eyes danced along the sheen of the blade before him, his fingers checking the edge and sharpness. Her clasped a finger on it slightly as it drew blood, he looked at it with little emotion in his orbs. "For you, Sonya." A whispered voice from his mouth said, refusing to live any longer...

The door burst open as be was about to imbrue the dagger into his chest, letting him die quickly. Soldiers came and grasped his arms, knocking the blade away from his grasp as he thrashed about, trying to reach the precious blade. The only thing left he needed to be happy.

"We cannot have our only heir die for a less fortunate lower class wench." The lady said, looking at her son angrily. "Look what the wretch has done to you, our war hero. The Queen has even decided to marry you!"

Heero looked at her angrily. "She'll probably have me executed after she's through with me!" He spat out at her, still being restrained by the strong arms of the soldiers. Normal this wouldn't have been a problem, but there were to many of them.

"How dare you say such a thing, after all we have done for you!" The lord of the wealthy manor said, outrage in his voice. He was the first cousin to the Queen, so they were quite wealthy and lived a very luxurious life, though Heero wanted naught of this.

"Done for me? Murdering her!" Her said, struggling harder to reach the knife.

The man's eyes shone happily as he remembered this. "We hoped once she was out of the picture, maybe you would come to your senses, not knowing your place."

"My place is Hell!" He said, trying to reach the dagger but to no avail.

The woman, obviously wife to the lord and Heero's mother, slapped him hard against the cheek, striking his head the other way. "This is for your own good..." She said, gripping his chin tightly and forcing his mouth open as she poured a potion down his mouth, forcing him to swallow the concoction.

"Ugh..." Heero managed to mutter, before falling limp in the soldiers' arms. The dragged him off, towards an awaiting carriage as they drove in secrecy towards the queens palace.

Heero was dragged to a secret palace, none knowing the Queen had him, all believing he died while being attacked by robbers. He fought bravely, the story told, but died trying to save some fellow travelers too, whose names had been held for reasons of their own.

Giving him the concoction everyday, he was able to stay in her control, her loving him in secrecy until she died mysteriously, having a terrified look on her face. As if she saw a ghost. The royal advisors had executed him, his purpose being fulfilled...

Over across the now raging rivers of the river Thames, a lone figure stood in a small prison cell where she had been hiding for the last moth or so until new reached her of his death. How could mere robbers kill her knight?

"Time to gather up the splinters, Build a casket for my tears." Sonya whispered as she let herself die, using the blood from her wound in her heart to write her last words. She never knew he lived. After the attack (which she had miraculously survived from when some soldiers who were friends of the young Lord's rescued her and thwarted their attempt, saying they accomplished it to get the reward) she had been hid in secrecy, when news reached her, she let herself be taken by Death's gracious arms

She took her last breath, her thoughts on him...

"You remember, now dear?" A voice came as she knelt down beside her, having Relena's body once again in her possession.

Heero didn't respond, pulling himself off the floor. Sonya looked at Heero with longing eyes. "So long have I wanted to have you in my arms once again. We can always be together in this world, just let me be filled in your arms." She walked to him, smiling slightly when she noticed he didn't move away from her like he had before.

She let a tear fall, throwing herself into his arms, curling her arms around his back, drawing him into a tight embrace, wearing her Elizabethan dress. Her body shook as it looked like she was crying. Heero, feeling something deep down inside him as he wrapped his arms around her in an effort to try and comfort her.

Her face hidden by his forest green tank top, she smiled sweetly to herself. "Of course, you said together forever...and we shall not be apart." She whispered to him, barely able for his ears to grasp.

She reached into her laced sleeves (you know, the puffy cuffs) and pulled out a dagger and thrust it into his back hard, he let out a cry and gasp of pain as she removed the blade from his body. He fell to the floor, looking up at her with mixtures of emotions in his eyes as he felt blood pour from his back and front chest, having the dagger so deeply embedded into his body it burst through the other side.

He was breathing heavily, one hand on his front chest in hopes to stop some of the bleeding. Sonya smiled. "Together forever, in death." She whispered and thrust the bloody blade into Relena's body as Relena took over control, falling to the floor, the blade on the other side of where her heart was. Blood poured from the wound as the room began spinning around as her eyes blurred, fixing on Heero, who managed to move towards her...

He collapsed out of arms reach from her, the life draining from him as he let a tear fall, not being able to save Relena from this fate. It was his entire fault, not being able to protect her...

"Please," Heero managed to use his energy to say to her. "Ir was our fault that we died but you have to go on without me. I'll love you, even past death as I do with her, but don't take her away. You want to be together, but were...we...together in..." Heero was able to only let out the last word in a shallow whisper as some blood poured from his mouth and his wild eyes grew dim as death seemed to tame them. "De...ath?"

Downstairs, the too quiet night woke the others from their dreams, the air seeming to have a presence in it. Something that warned them something was wrong.

The other's had woken up a little while before, noticing both Relena and Heero absence, knowing something good wasn't up. They then heard a cry of pain that sounded like Heero's voice, laced with surprise and agony echo down from the upper floor, echoing down the spiral stone staircase.

"Heero!" Duo shouted, noticing Trowa and Wufei already running towards where the sound was.

"We have to make it in time!" Quatre shouted, rushing next to Trowa, shocking the others with the swiftness of how he ran. Then again, they weren't Gundam pilots for nothing.

They ran up the stairs, rushing up as fast as they could, ignoring the jello-like feeling their legs were starting to get. They saw an open door and rushed inside, nearly tripping over the fallen forms of the two teenagers.

"Heero! Relena!" They all shouted, turning them over. Relena had a better condition that Heero, who had a hole through his back to his front. He didn't even respond to their call and Relena blinked in confusion as she lacked understanding from the blood loss. Hers wasn't that deep but still fatal though maybe he and her would still be saved. No, they had to be saved.

"We have to get them to a hospital!" Quatre shouted, grabbing Relena gently as Duo and Trowa lifted Heero gently, trying to get him into a position so the wound wouldn't leak even more blood than it already had.

They rushed down the stairs, the smell of smoke filled the air as the house began to catch on fire...The door opened to them seemingly out of thin air as the whole structure collapsed, their stuff laying off the side of the porch unharmed.

Elsewhere, at the Colony's International Emergency Hospital and Clinic (CIEHC):

The doctor appeared before them after he got out of the doors leading to surgery. "Doctor!" Duo exploded like Quatre asking a thousand questions, but one in particular. "Miss Relena is in room 424 and Mr. Yuy is in room 534, intense care unit." He said, still having their attention.

"Why is Heero in intense care unit and Relena not?" Trowa asked, forgetting about everything other than concern for his friends.
