Chapter Eight
"I won't let you, Katja!" Relena screamed, tears in her eyes as she looked at the raging winds, forming a ball of dark energy. Her eyes held concern as she saw a bright crimson light glow in the center—Heero!
Laughing coldly, Katja glared at her rival—"I'm sorry, Relena!" She shouted over the thrashing winds as the demon stone did its work. "I've already won!"
"No you haven't!"
A cry of pain was heard from the circle. Katja laughed once more in victory as she flapped her wings. Electricity sparked in the center of it.
"You are too late, Relena! The other Elite's weren't summoned quickly enough and now," she smirked even more, "now, your precious Elite hero will be under Lucifer's control!"
'Bitch!' Relena snarled mentally, narrowing her eyes as she turned her gaze back to the ball with concern. She clenched her fists and pulled a blade out of her sheath.
"go ahead," Katja dared, "Go and try and finish what I started!" mockingly, she flew to the skies and grinned down at Relena. She lifted her arms, turning as she gazed all around, "All of this—all of this is mine!"
"Never." Relena whispered under her breath, praying for her Lord to expel the evil in their Kingdom.
Relena opened her eyes with a smirk sliding on her face, her golden blonde hair whipping around her. "You forgot one thing, Katja." Katja paused in her glory and gloating, looking down at Relena. "Our Lord doesn't forgive treason to the Dark Lord."
And with her words, carried by the winds of Heaven, a flash of light appeared. A scream cut through the air before the light disappeared, the scream dying on the winds.
Katja was gone.
Turning with a sad look in her eye, Relena's shoulder's slumped forward, hearing another cry from the dark vortex spinning and raging in front of her. "Heero," she whispered, head bowed as some tears slipped from her eyes, "I'll love you forever…"
With that, she jumped into the circle. The wind tore at her flesh and the lightning bit into her skin. Tears fell like melted wax from her eyes as she saw a body floating in the air, the source of the dark and negative energy in the air.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't give you a second chance at life."
The demon stone glowed vibrantly, pulsating as it burned into Heero's flesh. Heero let out another scream as his wings expanded, outstretching in air as the tips slowly turned black, some feathers turning to dust.
"I'm sorry that this had to happen to you."
Relena let more tears fall, sobbing out the last part, "I'll always love you, Heero Yuy." She touched Heero gently, brushing her lips over Heero's.
Pained prussian eyes opened to look at Relena's aquamarine ones. Another sob escaped from her throat as she brought up the blade.
"I'll never be able to live without you." Relena whispered to Heero.
His eyes softened and he looked at her. "I understand." He closed his eyes.
Relena raised the sword.
"I love you," were his last words.
The sword plunged into both of them, making Relena gasp and cough blood as she whispered Heero's name. The winds stopped howling and the world stopped turning for a brief instant.
Relena wished, with a dying breath, that they were back on the beautiful planet earth.
…
Quatre knocked, worried for Relena and Heero, as he stood outside the hallway. He frowned, wondering what was happening. Having a bad feeling overwhelm him, he pushed open the door.
His eyes were wide with shock as he stared at the two figures in the room. "Heero…" Quatre choked out as tears prickled his eyes, "Relena…"He cried for the other pilots and any other occupants in the house.
Heero was lying on the bedspread, blood leaking from his chest. Magnificent wings were spread from his shoulders, lying limply in the room. Relena was lying on top of him, blood spilling from her mouth and face pale. A sword was plunged through them, keeping them locked together in death's embrace.
OWARI?
