Chapter 7: Demon's and Angels
Sogran looked in Lethe's direction. 'She could still here and understand what they are talking about. I have to get her away from them.' He thought heatedly.
"Lethe." Lethe stood up, listening to Sogran's commands like a robot. "Come over here, we have to go check on your Heero." He said softly. She walked over to him. Cocked her head at him then smiled.
She smiled one of her heart-breaking smiles. "Let's go and see how he is doing!" She said cheerfully. Her hair flashed golden and her eyes turned a bluish color, if only for a second.
Relena noticed this, and then, in the blink of an eye, it was gone. 'What was that?' She though. 'I must be seeing things!'
She's really sweet and all, but she's like you, Miss Une. She has two personalities, only they are stronger.
An angel and a demon. One, Lethe, the one you saw before you, and Mnemosyn, an angel, when you saw her hair change slightly and her eyes color along with her attitude, that was a small glimpse of her. But Sogran only needs Lethe, so the drug suppressed Mnemosyn and she's been trying to get out.
She warned us of this, but for the past year and a half, she has been Mnemosyn and she's doing fine, though she's still battling her demon." She stated. The others took this in, though it was a lot of comprehend...
Let me die.
From the beginning.
"Life comes cheap especially mine."
To a new start. "Roger that. I'm self-destructing Gundam."
To a new beginning.
"Those Gundam pilots will do anything to complete their missions, even if it means forfeiting their lives."
The pain, not physical though. That was an emotion. There was no use. The war is over
No, it's not. Is it not?
You're still in a battle. You live a battle every day.
That is your purpose, but now in these times of peace, you are obsolete
Obsolete.
The word rang a bell to him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Was he really obsolete now that the war was over, if so then why didn't they give him his final mission, the mission to take his life if he was such an obsolete purpose to the world? He wouldn't die, not yet. Those weaklings would tell him what to do. Dr. J told him his last mission. He accepted it.
"Heero, this is your last mission. Don't die." He commanded.
Heero looked at the Doctor. "Roger that." He said, the line disconnecting after the Doctor heard his affirmative.
Then he remembered her.
Her face.
The flower.
The dog.
The gun, and the detonation switch which he pressed. "How many times do I have to see that girl and her little dog die?"
Always.
At least until you die. You can never escape her face. She's always after you, this is revenge, revenge for killing her. She showed kindness, for that, you killed her.
It was an accident.
There isn't any such thing as accidents. You are obsolete.
Obsolete.
"You pray your dreams will leave you here,
But you wake and know the truth,
No ones there,.
Say good night,
Don't be afraid,
Calling me,
Holding me in your arms,
As you fade to air..."
"Sweet raspier life, it ends here tonight." Can it? Can it really stop the pain? Or does death hold even more pain?
There was darkness. It was comforting. He was raised in darkness, living with nothing, not even fear. Fear of death. It was just something that was there. Was death any different from life? He didn't want to move. He wanted to stay like this forever. In the dark void that surrounded him. He didn't want to live or die, just stay like this, stay here for eternity, in a sanctuary where nothing could hurt him. Not the painful memories, not the wounds on his body, not everything that had happened, just nothing.
Lethe walked into the room and looked at the fragile Heero. He lay there, unmoving. She sighed deeply and then told Sogran to wait outside and get her a cup of tea while he was at it with some crumpets.
"Heero...I've fought this. The poison still flows through my veins. I'm giving up on who I am. After all, I'm living in a fragment of my mind. No matter what Sogran says, and this demon of mine wants to believe, I know it's time. There isn't a war anymore, and there mustn't be another one. My demon may hopefully be at peace, and we can stop fighting." She walked over to the mirror and looked at herself. "The red eyes. They were meant to disguise me. They were the blood I spilled for the life I lived." Tears filled her eyes that were slowly turning a deep blue. "I know every face of them. Every agonized face I remember. It's etched into my mind. Now," She turned to Heero.
A different person, without the red color in her eyes and the hair on her head was to her upper back, a deep golden color. Her eyes were now a deep blue. "Mnemosyn. That is my real name. Now at least. I have two. Two people, one a demon, one an angel. They live inside me. Together we are one though."
"Now you know my secret." She bowed her head. "I always will love you." She brushed her fingers over his lips.
The door banged open, Sogran was laying collapsed on the floor, obviously unconscious. Mnemosyn didn't turn. She knew who it was. Duo stood in the doorway, Relena rushed in, and Mnemosyn didn't have enough time to dodge the needle that was jabbed into her arm, releasing the contents that would neutralize the drug.
"Wha-?" Mnemosyn's eyes clouded over as she stared into the confused face of Mnemosyn.
"Where's Lethe then?"
Mnemosyn smiled, closed her eyes and then whispered into Relena's ear. "Thank you for your help. She'll appreciate it...my demon." Her dulled blue eyes turned crimson and her hair, now shortened to above her shoulders, was a deep blue almost purple color that changed almost in the blink of an eye.
The beeping of a machine woke Relena from her trance as she looked at Lethe. "What the hell just happened?" Duo said, looking at Lethe.
"I-I really don't have the vaguest idea." Relena said shell-shocked at what the golden haired person told her.
Doctor's came rushing in. "Get out. Now!" The doctor ordered. Duo held his ground.
"Get out now, or I will have you removed." He turned to look at the other doctors and nurses in the room. "Quickly!" The doctor looked back at Relena and the other two.
"What the hell is going on now?" Duo question with clenched fists in frustration.

Summary:
Relena stared at the other captured person in the room. "Uh…mister?" Heero turned around and shot a glare at her. "What?" He snapped. She blinked and then said, "There's a…hole in your shirt."
Love, Red Tail
