This chapter might be short. Enjoy! Please Review!
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Remembering
?Here?s your order, miss.?
The golden-haired woman returned the smile of the vendor as he carefully handed her a bouquet of pearly white tulips, neatly enclosed with a thin strip of ribbon. With pale, smooth hands, she carried them delicately towards her destination.
The dead leaves of fall crunched softly under her small shoes; stopping in front of a marble headstone, she crouched down to place the flowers before standing again. A soft smile marred her face and she stood, gazing.
?Hello father,? she spoke. ?I?m sorry I wasn?t able to visit the last two weeks. I?ve been so busy since there were some conflicts in the ESUN. I guess they are having a hard time deciding with some things. What would you have done, father??
The gentle breeze fluttered her hair and the cotton pink sundress, which did nothing do disguise her slender body, she was wearing. Her head shone under the blazing sun and made her skin paler.
?I wish you were still here?? her voice hitched in her throat as she struggled not to cry. But as much as she tried, she knelt down on the grass covered earth as the first tears streaked down her cheeks.
A few moments passed, Relena Darlian gained her composure and stood up with shaky legs. With a weak smile, she walked away without looking back.
O O O O O O
?Ah? are you all right, Miss Relena?? the fancy voice of Dorothy Catalonia snapped the young woman out of her thoughts.
She shifted uncomfortably on her seat and stared at the smiling face of her friend in the vid com. Both have been living in a world of politics; she the Vice Foreign Minister, and Dorothy, the ESUN?s Chief of Defense, which, in Relena?s opinion, suited Dorothy well.
Tiredly, she replied with a simple ?yes?. Dorothy quirked an eyebrow. ?You don?t seem like you are. Silly me, my question simply did not go well with the expression on your face, Miss Relena. The most suited question is: What is bothering you??
Relena placed her chin on her folded hands and sighed exasperatedly. Dorothy can always read her whenever something was bothering her. She mumbled something under her breath.
?I?m afraid I didn?t catch that,? Dorothy said.
Relena looked away from the vid com, instead settling her gaze outside the window across her desk, overlooking the busy streets of the city. ?Dorothy, do you think I?m really fit to be Vice Foreign Minister??
Dorothy was taken aback; her eyes widened at Relena?s confession. ?Miss Relena, that?s absurd! You are the perfect person to be in that position. Don?t you see? The people of Earth and the colonies look up to you.? She noticed the far away look in Relena?s cerulean orbs, and gave the young Vice Foreign Minister a sympathetic look.
?Just think about it, Miss Relena.? Dorothy ended the call and Relena faced a blank screen.
She closed her eyes, trying to erase the immature questioned she had just inquired. Dorothy was right. Earth and the space colonies were living in peace because of her? well, her and the ESUN. But it was still she that pushed peace to settle for both sides.
Relena shook her head. All right, probably she?s becoming paranoid for thinking such things. She needed something to do to remove the question out of her brain. Mind set, she grabbed her jacket and keys, and dashed out of her office.
O O O O O O
He must not stop now. He will not give up? inhaling a good amount of air, he increased his pace; the cold, afternoon air freezing his cheeks and ears. The men pursuing him were a good yards away.
He smirked. Years of training had given him strength that no average person has. Turning his head to get a good look at his pursuers, the smirk left his face as one of them pulled out a gun and directly aimed it at him.
Cursing, he ran in a zigzag pattern? in that way, the guy trying to shoot him will have a hard time with his target. As he turned in another direction, he immediately saw a white convertible parked near and noticed someone sitting in the driver?s seat.
He weighed the option; it?s either take the unsuspecting driver in trouble with him, or get caught and tortured unless they ? the pursuers, whoever they are ? get answers they wanted.
The former would be better, he thought, annoyed. He did not want to involve any civilians, but the possibility that the pursuers finding out about them are much worse.
He leapt in the back seat just as the car?s engine started.
O O O O O O O
Relena stiffened on her seat as she felt a presence behind. Just a few minutes ago, she was just buying some coffee from a small store. But as soon as she went in her car and started the engine, she wasn?t expecting someone jumping into her vehicle.
She avoided looking at the rear view mirror, afraid to see whoever wanted to harm her.
?You must know,? she said, trying to hide the fear in her voice, ?I ? I have a pepper spray near me, and I will use it on you.?
?Try me.?
Relena?s breathing seemed to stop. The voice, it was familiar? for the first time after the unexpected incident, Relena looked in the rear view mirror and was met with the coldest Prussian orbs ever.
