This is the final chapter, though it's not really a chapter since it's an alternate ending, but still. If you didn't like the other ending, this one is more...happily ever after style...
Chapter 8:
"He had a wound going completely through him. Miss Relena's wound wasn't and isn't as serious as his. Currently, he's in a psychological coma. It's up to his will to live for him to survive since he's lost a lot of blood. We aren't sure when or if he'll wake up." The doctor seemed to have been trained to talk through situations like these.
Duo remembered the look on his face, he seemed to be hiding his emotions just like Heero, only at least he didn't lie whenever he did that. The doctor didn't seem to care about Heero at all! 'Cold hearted bastard.' Duo thought while trying to quell his growing rage.
The doctor continued on, his face staring past them seemingly. "Miss Relena should wake up rather soon and should be up and about. If you hadn't gotten them here when you did, they would have been dead." He seemed to speak the last part with relief.
"Thank you." Quatre said, heading off with Duo to visit Relena for a while and then check up on Heero after she woke up.
Relena felt warm air rush to her face. She remembered blood everywhere and Heero trying to pull himself to her, sorrow in his eyes that he couldn't save her. She could feel a slight pain and a numb feeling over her body told her she was alive. She could feel things. She forced her eyes open, noticing a bandage all over her chest covering herself even though her shirt was no where to her seen. A large strip ran from her shoulder, holding up the wrappings.
"Relena! Your awake!" Quatre shouted, surprised that she was already awake. Relena looked at Quatre and noticed the other four behind her and had to ask them the question pondering her mind.
"Where's Heero?" She asked, quite awake to hear how he was.
Duo looked at the others who showed no interest in telling her the bad news. Duo sighed and took a step forward, Quatre taking a seat and gripping Relena's hand in sympathy.
"Relena, Heero's in a coma. He's wounded severally." Duo said sadly, letting the news hit her as she stood there dumbfounded and passed out.
Three days had past and Heero was moved to a less intense care unit, being able to breath on his own and his wound closing rather nicely. He didn't respond to anything and was still in a comatose state.
Relena was able to walk by now without feeling pain and made her way down to Heero's room, wearing a loose pink shirt and a miniskirt the same color. Much like the clothing style she first wore when she first went to visit him in the alliance hospital where she had brought him.
"Heero. I'm the one who did this to you. I almost killed you." She whispered to herself, letting a tear slip from her barriers.
She walked into the room and took a seat beside him and held his hand in hers. "Please, I don't want to be alone." She whispered and closed her eyes, praying for him to wake up.
She fell asleep, loosing track of time. She sighed heavily; knowing the nurses would be looking for her to have a check up. She was still being held in the hospital but was able to wear her own clothes. Heero didn't have a shirt, but had a thick bandage over his chest.
She gripped his hand tightly. "Please don't leave me alone." Her eyes filled with tears as she was about to get up and go back to her room when she felt a slight tug on her hand, thinking it was Heero she spun around quickly, noticing the machines beeping a little fast and his temperature rising and brainwaves.
"R-Relena..." He whispered, letting his hand in her palm rest heavily on it: he had entered a very deep sleep.
"Heero!" She cried happily, noting he was asleep and not dead. Together, forever.
'Together, they shalt always be, forever until there is no further time...' the angels singed as the Sire Heero, son and heir of his father, Lord of Harlton and Sonya, daughter of the Vassal's to the Lord of Harlton, made their way to heaven.
'Together, my love.' Heero whispered, kissing his lvoe lightly on the lips, but still having the same passion.
'Forever, my dove.' She whispered right back.
Together, we shall always be, forever...
END
Author's note:
This was the revised edition, just to let y'all know! Oh and...
Thank you all reviews! I might actually make a sequel or an epilogue. I kinda left it off at a cliffhanger I guess if you look at it in a certain way, since you never know if Heero and Relena get together in the end.
The dealings with the house: the reason why it burned down was because the memories keeping it the way it way, not letting it be destroyed even during the war. They tied it until what couldn't be changed, was changed. The spirits were finally at rest (or where they?) and so they we allowed passage to the other world, unless they still had something tying them down.
Let's see the ghosts of the past, Heero an Sonya, were finally at peace, dying together in a memory, while Relena and the Gundam pilot Heero remained on their deathbed. Obviously, they all lived though in the end. I just can't kill people no matter what .
Thank you once again for reading the story! Red Tail
