Dead while Living

Chapter 5

END OF FLASHBACK:

Jade stared at Odin in shock.

"How could you say that?" Jade said.

"Shut up Jade, stay out of this." Odin yelled. Heero had dropped the gun and looked down. He didn’t know what to do. He was a mistake and that was a bad feeling. Although he always thought badly for himself, he knew no one loved him. But to be called a mistake by your father was like the end of the world. He never knew his mother, how she looked. All he knew of his mother was she hated him, he killed her and she was dead, because of himself. Heero wanted to die, so it would be over and he wouldn’t have to feel this kind of pain.

"Heero. Are you okay?" Relena said quietly. She walked towards him and tapped his arm. Heero felt someone tap his arm and he looked towards that direction. He gave her a cold stare and looked back down. Relena looked at him shocked. ‘Why is he staring at me like that? I just want to help him.’ She thought.

"Heero, please tell me what’s wrong? I want to help. Your father is lying to you, don’t listen to him." She said quietly.

"Stay away from me, Relena." Heero said coldly. Relena stepped back with tears starting in her eyes. Odin smirked at this.

"Finally. I got some sense into that stupid boy." Odin said in a happy tone.

"You deserve to die. You killed Heero’s mother." Jade yelled. Heero looked up and Odin looked at her shocked, then looked at her with a face of hatred, disgust, anger, sad, and hurt. (Wow, all in the same look. ^.~)

"You killed Marie. Dear, sweet, angel Marie." Jade said sadly with tears coming down her face. She fell to the floor sobbing. Tears started in Odin’s eyes and then started to fall.

"I didn’t." He said quietly.

"I didn’t kill my love, Marie." He yelled. Relena looked at all the hurt on their faces. ‘Was Heero’s mom, really an angel.’ She thought. Then she looked back at Heero. He was looking at his father, with a shocked face.

"You are going to die, boy. You deserve to die, now!" Odin screamed. He took out his gun and pointed it at Heero. Heero was too shocked to move, but this is what he wanted. He wanted to die, but then he remembered. When Milliardo told him if he died, Relena wouldn’t want that. When the asteroid was going to hit earth. The bullet fired and he couldn't move. He felt himself move out of the way, but he didn’t move himself. He looked the way of the person that pushed him and saw Relena. Relena was falling back and Heero caught her. She looked at him and he put her gently on the floor looking for the bullet wound.

"Heero. I told you I would protect you." Relena said. She said and winced in pain.

"Relena you can’t die. If you do you failed your mission." Heero said.

"I promise, I won’t die." Relena said and she fainted. Heero looked at her in shock and put his head, where her heart was. He just lay there with his head on her heart, listening to the rhythm.

"Finally. Victory is MINE!" Odin yelled and laughed with tears running down his cheeks. Heero closed his eyes and whispered,

"I love you. I love you, Relena. Please don’t leave me, I love you. I love you." He kept on saying it until he fell asleep, from all the sleep he missed for weeks.

"Look what you’ve done." Jade whispered.

"Look what you have DONE." She yelled and Odin chuckled.

"What have I done? I’ve done what I’ve set out to do. And that is to hurt my son. I have done, the biggest thing possible and his soul will never live again." Odin yelled in victory. Jade ran up to him and punched him in the face.

"You deserve to DIE!" Jade yelled.

"Your son should have killed you!" She screamed again and punched him again.

"No, I will kill you. You traitor." Odin yelled and threw a punch at her. It hit her dead center and she fell, but then flipped backwards to prevent from falling on the hard steel floor. She ran towards him and started to fight him again. They had an all out war. They gave it everything they had.

"Die, Jade!" Odin yelled.

"Never, I will kill you!" Jade yelled back. Odin punched her again and she fell back on the steel floor. She landed besides the pale couple, lying on the floor. She turned her face towards them and smiled,

"I will save you." Then she turned back and got up on her elbows. Then flipped up again and landed on her knees. She wiped the blood on her mouth and smirked. Then ran towards Odin again. Once she knocked Odin to the floor and ran towards him to get the walkie-talkie from his pocket. She grabbed the walkie-talkie and pressed the button.

"Melody. Hurry inside, remember the mission I told you to do." Jade yelled and Melody said,

"Yes. Roger that." Odin struggled to get up, but did.

"What? You planned this?" He yelled. Jade smirked.

"Yeah, you see. I made a plan with Melody, just before I walked in. Aha. I guess I’ve won." Jade said.

"You. You…" Odin stuttered. Then the door busted open and Melody and the other girls came in.

"Take, Heero and Relena into the hospital department. Relena was shot." Jade said.

"Yes, ma’am." Melody said and saluted. She took them to where they were to be taken. Then Melody asked,

"What do we do with him?" Jade sighed.

"Handcuff him and take him to the jail wing." Melody nodded and got some girls to take care of that. Odin didn’t bother to struggle or fight back, he knew he lost. When everyone had left and she was alone in the dark room, she sighed again.

"It is over for Odin and I, but those children’s lives need to be restored and they must do it on their own." She looked around. She remembered every time she was left alone, she would cry or fill the fire surround her. Fire burning through her soul, not knowing what love was, until Marie and Odin came to her life. Then when Marie died and Odin had gone mad, the fire came back. But for some reason, she felt cool. She didn’t feel so hot or not loved. She felt needed and loved. She knelt down and put her hands together to pray.

"Marie. You shouldn’t have left us; your son and Odin need you. I need you, my friend. It is weird; today is Christmas isn’t it. The same day you died, on Christmas. The way the snow fell on your delicate brown hair. Ave Marie, dear, sweet, Ave Marie. May you rest in peace, forever." She said glittering tears sliding down her face.

"Whoever knew you were my sister, that my parents gave away. I thought we would tell each other our secrets, until it came to your son. I just want you to know your son looks like you and his love will take care of him. And he will take care of her, please watch over them." She stood up and bowed. She opened her eyes and wiped her eyes. She smiled and walked out of the room. Right before she walked out of the room, she whispered,

"Goodbye." And walked out. For some odd reason she felt a presence there with her, listening to her. She thought she felt Marie’s presence, with her. ‘She will always be with us.’ Jade thought and went to talk to Odin. In the room Jade just walked out of a spirit came up and stood on the ground. She had brown hair and Prussian blue eyes. She smiled sweetly.

"I will always watch over you. All of you. Please forgive me for leaving you, my son, my sister, my Odin. Odin what has happened to you?" She said and disappeared.
