Chapter 11-The  Phantom of The Opera

This means I have to find out who and confront the 'Phantom' performing now on the stage. Just then, she heard a lion roar. The lion friend that Trowa always play with. What's up with 'him'? Cathy walked toward the lion cage. Now the lion roared even more...like he was hungry...but didn't Trowa feed him on time every day? Where's Trowa anyway? He was supposed to take my costumes...to the storage room....what....Trowa is now missing, he knows where the costumes are kept, he's a quiet boy....and..he's not afraid of death.......all this evidence...is too much of a match with the enemies. Back in reality, she heard something about Eilzabeth being missing. But she's still keeping calm with the situation like this. And thinking deeply. If I were the enemy, I would hide Eilzabeth in some place that people can't find us. The enemy plays the Phantom part....that means he would bring Christine into the sewer....after he will get Eilzabeth's father to come here....and eliminate him...but what if I see Eilzabeth's father first and kill him?.....that would help. However there's a big mistake here....her father doesn't seem to care about her... will he come and save her? She saw the ringmaster backstage. He was very worried about Eilzabeth and his Circus. Very true, if Eilzabeth got kidnapped and her father got killed, Ringmaster will be in big trouble. "Ringmaster, I heard Eilzabeth was missing, do you have any idea where could she be?" Cathy asked like she was very worried. "No...what should I do, her father was so mad at me!!!"  Cathy looked at him as if she discovered something. "Her father?" "Oops, I said somthing that I shouldn't have said." "It's okay, I'll keep a sercet!" She smiled at him.....What's with that sercet anyway..... "You must be shocked that you heard that she has a father..."...do you mean that the others don't know that she has a father?....... this is getting confusing.......   So the ringmaster went on. "Eilzabeth's father was never married. His family is very famous and didn't want him to marry a normal girl. So when his family found out that they had a baby, they force her to commit suicide but kept their baby girl. The family also forced him to give the baby girl to another family to keep. Even though Eilzabeth knew that they are father and daughter, Eilzabeth still kept a distance between herself and her real father. But she doesn't understand how much her father loves her...." Cathy was not too surprised to hear this, but she was also skeptical.....how does he know all this? "How did you know Ringmaster, the family sure did a good job on covering Eilzabeth and her father's relationship." ....should I believe him..... "The adoptive mother of Eilzabeth is my sister. That's what inspired Eilzabeth to be a singer." "Okay, I understand now Ringmaster...I'll help you to find Eilzabeth right now!" Cathy ran to the exit backstage. And went to find Eilzabeth's father. Trowa you win what is on the surface of this mission but what you are missing is the core. If her father is a understanting person I believe that I can convince him!! Watch me. I'll do it with my own way. And there, Cathy saw Eilzabeth's father, still sitting in the audience. "Miss Catherine Bloom." He looked up. "I would get your daughter back if you promise to get out of the G-Eilte force." Cathy looks very serious.....I don't have to hide from him. "You just revealed your identity Miss Cathy." He challenged her. But she replied him with a smile. "If I want to keep my identiy, then I wouldn't have talked to you in the first place and just executed you and end my mission." He looked confused. "Then why did you...." "Because I hate to kill, and if you would leave the force, then you can have your daughter back." "You aren't afraid that I'll call the police?" "If you insist to reveal the truth about you and your daughter." "What if I told the others your real identiy?" "Then I would have to destroy you for sure." He stopped for a second and he started again. "Yes, I accept your conditions and offer." "Good." Cathy left the Circus and ran to the the sewer under the Circus..... And there, Eilzabeth sitting on a chair with black straps binding around her eyes and a piece of tape covering her mouth, unconscious. Cathy walked towards the light.....suddenly a shadow appeared behind her. She turn around and threw her dagger, but the shadow dodged it. Then they both pulled out their guns and aimed it at each other's head. The shadow was now exposed into the light. The Phantom of the Opera covering half his face with a mask and wearing the black tuxedo. "Trowa, why do you have to be the Phantom?" He kept silent. "I'm asking you. What's the matter with being a clown, why did you chose to be the Phantom rather than the clown?" Trowa took off his mask, and looked at Cathy. "What are you doing here, Catherine? Get out, it's dangerous here." But still he pointed his gun at her head. "I'm getting Eilzabeth out of here, Trowa please don't interfere." "Get out or I have to kill you, Catherine." "If you have to kill me, then I will  have to kill you too." "Give me a reason, why should I give you my target ?" "Her father promised that if his daughter is saved, he would leave the G-Eilte force." "How do you know about G-Elite force." "Because I'm one of your enemies. We are all fighting for the new era, so why can't we join forces this one time." Cathy almost cried when she was saying that, with all these years seeing Relena and the others crying to her........only she stood strongest, never crying about anything. Tears is a woman's strongest weapon. Trowa pulled down his gun. "What if Eilzabeth's father won't leave?" "Then I would kill him myself." Watching Cathy untie the sleeping Eilzabeth, and carry her away. He had failed to a woman. Wufei would be pissed to hear this. But he knew that something is missing from himself. He asked himself that why can he stop her from taking the target away. But the answer had never been unsealed. He only watched as Cathy left. Eilzabeth woke up in her room the next day, with her father sitting beside her. They only looked at each other. With all these years not willing to be her father. The loss of happiness in her childhood is finally replaced by her father. Cathy was watching them outside the window. How strange, separated by the window were two different worlds, different dimensions But they are happening at the same time. And this is her life. Cathy turned away and beging to leave. And there, Trowa standing on a wire. Only ten feet away from her. Cathy started speaking. "Hi, Trowa. So what are you planning to do with her father." Cathy looked up toward him. "......He did leave the Force, so I'm not going to do anything to him." Cathy smiled like she had won something. "Will that be       from your mansion?" Trowa look at her. And after some time he replied. "You are an agent too, right? So you should know the answer." "You must be suprised about the way I work. Right, Trowa?" Cathy looked down. "A little, but someone told me before that you should work following your emotions." "That's a weird saying you know. They always said that emotions only make you lose your will to kill, but I agree with that statement" "They have power, so you need to follow their instructions. You only make it more diffcult for yourself  if you don't listen. Afer you obey.....you would get used to it, thinking that it doesn't matter. Then you're starting to think like them......you won't think that they 're stupid anymore, because now they have become part of you. When you find out that you've changed, you'll start to turn back to who you were before, but it's not going to be the same anymore, even if you are back home. Sometime they will see your misery, but I don't think they are going to pity you, because no one is feeling sorry for them. I survived by remembering all that I have done in the past." That's what Heero had told me. Cathy looked at Trowa. There's something that could not be described as words......the warm feeling that surrounded Cathy right now. Wind blew at they thoughs. "So...that's your definition of working while following your emotions?" "Yes." They looked at each other as if they know what's happening. Cathy smiled at him as a goodbye. She jumped down onto the grass lawn beside Eilzabeth's house. Trowa watched her back, leaving, again. Goodbye Catherine, we'll meet again....... but on the battle field.....too bad....... The wind blew again. Blowing away the reality just a second ago. And then, the Phantom changed his mask back to the Clown's again. The sad and happy Clown mask.

Tomorrow they will become friends again.......................... It was night time now. Hilde and the workers in the factory went to sleep in the camp. Hilde, of course didn't really sleep. She took her advantage of been a girl and have her own room so it would be more easier for her mission. Especially since she's partnered with her friend, Duo. Bobby, the target's name. His room is in the last one down the hallway. This building is only 3 floors high. After killing him, I could escape from the window and go back to my room. I'll give the reason that someone had be killed and quit this job. The end. Okay, mission starts now. Hilde walked out of her room. Suddenly, she heard something.The sound of gun shot.........from Bobby's room..........but nobody knows.........Agents are specially trained to be exceptional at all five senses and their intuitions were accurate. And by the way this camp's walls are made to block noises from one room to another like hotels. Is that Duo..........If that's him then he will escape from the window and should be out the building right now. Let me go see if that's him. So Hilde went outside of the camp, and as she expected, a shadow running out from the corner. She ran away to another corner near the entrance to the camp. She sat down laid beside a tree, looking up the sky and watching the stars. Pretending she didn't know what's going on. By this time, Duo appeared in a hurry going back to the door into the camp. Then he saw Hilde looking up at the stars. He walked left and pretended that he had just walked out of the camp. "Hey, Hilde. What are you doing??" He asked cheerfully. "Duo!!! I just want to get some fresh air outside." They were both acting. "Let's get back in, you can catch a cold like this." "No, Duo...no yet. You want to stay here just a little longer?" I don't want to return to reality yet......... ".....Hilde....I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to make you....cry." "It's okay....I....." " What do you want to say?" Duo looked at her...... " Nothing......" She looked away. Just like last time. "....................." Duo pouted. That's an expression people show  when they want to say something but they can't say it......... He sighed...... Duo and I are both the same, just like Heero and Relena. I just can't lie and Duo feels the same. This feeling inside me can't hide. The same with him. That's why he's sighing. I understand it all............but what can I do. Hilde looked at Duo and so does he.............One kiss............they've ruined the balance. They are agents all right, but they are still human. How can one man and a woman not get together if they both like each other and attract each other. This kind of love.............. After the mission ended. Hilde went back to 056 area. And there she sees Relena, Dorothy, Cathy and the rest of them. The person who she talks to first is Relena. She needed to talk the Cathy, but she talked to Relena first anyway. They went to Hilde's room. "Hilde...are you still mad with me?" started Relena, which was very rare. "Of course not Relena, we are always friends. But now is not the time to talk about this Relena." "What is it? Did something go wrong on your mission?" Relena looked at Hilde. "Well you can say that, but it included you too!!" Duo's image appeared in Hilde's head. "Me?" Relena thought as she spoke. "Yeah, I met Duo there and he told me that Heero is up to something about examining the 'dead body' of yours." Relena opened her eyes wide after she heard that. It's been a long time since she heard anything from Heero and her sercet........what if he finds out? "Duo said that he didn't do anything yet, but he's just having the idea of doing it." "...........Heero........" Relena looked down. This name reminds her of all past memories again. The relationship between them. She doesn't even know if that can be classified as an relationship. There's just some feeling coming from inside her body, a strange feeling. "You have to be careful." Hilde looked worry. Relena closed her eyes as if she was erasing all the memory, then she opened them up again. "Hilde, you said that there's another thing right? What is it?" Relena still held her head down. "Well.... me and.. Duo kinda........" Hilde didn't know which way was the best to explain to her. Relena had done it before, so she won't be surprised to hear it........But I still. Hilde tried so hard to get the right description and tried to figure out a word for it. "Went out." Relena had figured it out by now, and helped Hilde finish her sentence. Hilde and Duo are different from Heero and I........ We only met each other, we didn't even talk to each other. How can I love a man like that? I'm so scared to see him again, I'm so scared that he would found out, he would found out that I'm not dead yet. And he would come to me and........till that time we have to fight each other. "Relena, I understand the situation we are in, but when the time comes you can't avoid it." "When the time comes.......you would have to kill him." "True, but I was talking about that when the time comes, you can't resist kissing Heero." "......................" Relena didn't answer. She started to daydream again, which she would do often when she felt that conversation was not important anymore....looking out of the window from Hilde's room. What do you mean by when the time comes, I already kissed Heero........ "Relena it's okay, when the time comes I'll dump him!!!!" Relena looked at Hilde again. She knew that Hilde wanted to give herself less pressure so that's why she said it in a playful way, like she didn't care. Relena went back to her room. She didn't bother to turn on the light, maybe that way, she would feel better. It would be better when you can't see anything. When you're oblivious to all and stubborn, everything would be good to you, because you don't have to face the real world. But what good would it do you? Time won't stop for you, the earth is still turning. Relena sighed, she turned on the light. A room that only has four walls and one window. A uncomfortable bed telling you that you shouldn't be sleeping deeply, the smell of guns and bombs that remind you that you're still in war. A calendar telling me the years I have passed in my bloody life.......... AC 195..........it's my 12th year in the 056 area. All these years, I took human lifes in order to survive. She looked into the mirror, a face that she sees so often. It's this person who kills and destroys lives. I've carried out too much violence, why am I living in this world? "Bang!!" Dorothy pushed Relena's door open with force. "What, Dorothy?" Relena knows something unusual has happened. Relena stood up from her bed. "That girl, Mariameia, sent a message to the enemy!!! Telling them our location!! Lady Une want us to gather in her office right now." Relena looked down and thought deeply. "Where's Mariameia?" Relena ask calmly. "She's at Lady Une's office also." So Mariameia decided to finish her mission in the end. What would Lady Une do now? Dorothy and Relena walked to Lady Une's office and opened the door.
