There was a pounding on the door that drew Relena from her reverie. "Who could that be?" She questioned.
Heero and Relena walked out of the room, him not even bothering to grab a shirt and pulled it open to see a barely conscious figure standing there. She looked up, her deep sapphire eyes made Heero look at her, shocked. Her brown hair which went above her shoulders slightly was dripping in rain. She wore a black T-shirt that was like a second skin and blue jeans that flared but were soaked through.
Her eyes looked up and gazed at Heero intently. "L-loch..." She whispered, before falling forward. Heero caught her by reflex and closed the door. The others came to see who was at the door and took in the girl in Heero's arms and Relena who looked slightly jealous but curiosity in her voice.
"Who is Loch?" She asked Heero intently.
He didn't acknowledge her or move. "S-srei?" He was able to mutter before falling onto her form, knocked out by something.
"Heero!" Relena shouted, pulling him off the girl checking for a pulse or what made him pass out. The other's bent down to help and found a tranquilizer protruding from near his shoulder.
"He said Srei, didn't he?" Quatre asked, his gaze now on the limp girl with soaking wet clothes.
"Yeah, he did..." Everyone now had their gaze on the young woman...
Chapter 4:
Heero groggily opened his eyes and blinked away what little sleep he had gotten. The faces of his concerned allies and Relena were hovering over him and her jerked up, nearly hitting his head against Duo's since he was so close to him.
"Careful, buddy." Duo said.
"So who was that girl?" Quatre questioned, hoping to get answers.
Memories of last night flashed back into his head like the lightning still crackling up the sky outside beyond the door. He placed a hand to his head to try and sooth some of the pain, which didn't work so well. "Where did you put her?" He asked, or more like demanded.
"We put her over on that couch." Wufei jabbed a thumb over to the sleeping form with exhaustion in each breath, telling something was after her and she rushed to get away.
Heero got up unsteadily to his feet to only have Relena at his side, but he seemed oblivious to her and made his way quickly over to the sleeping girl. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, nudging her a bit to wake up.
Her eyes opened and uncertainty washed over her features. A smile played upon her lips as she threw herself into his arms, giving her a light hug back to show he still cared for her.
Relena lifted an eyebrow, hiding her jealousy. She never got to hold Heero like that... except...memories flashed back of all the times she had been with Heero. Maybe she had...A smile played upon her as she remembered that they thought of themselves as brother and sister. It was like a reunion. Only this time, unlike the other one, it was happy.
"Srei, I thought you were dead." He whispered into her ear. She pulled away and smiled sadly at him.
"I thought I was too, but I managed to escape after hearing their plans. They are going to come after you. They even have a reward for finding you. They said someone kidnapped you." She let a tear fall down her cheek and Heero wiped it away like he would for Relena.
"What do you mean?" He asked her, looking intently at her after so many years of being apart.
Srei sighed and looked around the room. "Who are they?" She whispered, clinging to Heero's shirt as she looked at the figures occupying the room and their eyes all on them.
"They are friends." He said, shocking some of the people and making them smile when they thought of Heero describing them as friends, but not sure if it was just means of comfort for the girl.
Her grip loosened and she looked back up and Heero. "They said they were going to get you back and find a way to control you ad use you to help take over the colonies and earth." She whispered through the silence that threatened to swallow her whole.
Heero's form stood still as though he had never been affected by this. He got up and told her that it was going to be all right. "I'm going to get some sleep." He said monotonously to the others.
He left to the hall and his door could be heard closing and there wasn't the sound of a lock being put in place.
"Why did Heero run away in the first place?" Relena questioned the girl as the all sat down over tea and hot chocolate.
"He had more training, but when he himself heard their plans on why they took him in, he fled but couldn't get me out with him." She took a sip of the hot coca, letting it fill her insides with warmth. "They were planning on selling him like a slave to the alliance and with their help gain control and crush the rebel group. The very group that trained Heero. Not being a pawn like he can be since he doesn't really care about anything now I can tell, he ran away. They must have trained him more extensively after that whole ordeal." Quietly she said this.
"How did you escape?" Relena asked, ready to hear a whole adventure story.
"Well..." Srei said, telling the whole story from start to finish.

Author's note: please read!
I know it was short, but the next chapters going to be long and it will be a flash back of how Srie escaped and how the family is still going to find Heero. Not to mention they know where he's at since the G-boy's gave them their address after breakfast at Li's. Reviews are always nice .
