Betrayal 1/?

[Of the Shadows]

My first attempt at a series. The characters aren't as IC as I would like, but all attempts for IC were made.

::Betrayal::


The betrayal was not her fault, it wasn?t, but it pained her just the same. Each night Relena lay alone upon her bed, her eyes held open in a futile attempt to ward of dark dreams of that night? of that look in his eyes?
A thunderbolt cracked outside her window, and Relena?s eyes shot to it. For that night felt more deadly than other nights, and the smallest creak nearly gave her a heart attack. A year had gone by, and he had not come back to seek his revenge. But she knew he would, his escape from the Imperial Prison was all that the paper, the news, and every Earthen and Colonist on the street would speak of. As she stood and moved to her window, the rain pounding against it, she prayed that he would not come.
And then she prayed that he would.

A thump drifted up from downstairs, and Relena looked over towards her door. The lock had been broken earlier that day and had yet to be fixed. Biting her lip, a cold chill creeping into her legs, Relena slowly moved towards her door. Reaching is, she eased it open, glancing directly down the flight of stairs. No one was to be seen. Closing her eyes to breath, Relena moved forward and left her room, stepping out into the even cooler hallway.
All around her was pitch black, but she knew her way around well enough. She began moving down the stairs, her bare feet making no sound against the plush carpet. A door stood ajar at the bottom, the door into the kitchen.
Relena again moved forward, but froze as a light flipped on and a pair of strong hands grabbed hold of her; one sliding over her mouth to muffle a non-existent scream, and the other tightly, and painfully, holding her slender wrists behind her back. The way in which he held her hurt, but it was his words that brought startled and unexpected tears to her eyes.
?God, you are as beautiful as you were the day I left you. Do have any idea of how often I dreamt of you, seeing you exactly as you are now, Relena. Or would Delilah be a more appropriate name??
Relena struggled, but in vain, for Heero?s already strong grip felt unbreakable, as if he held her by something more than just his strength. She thanked God for the moment, for she had yet to see his eyes. Oh God, how could she even look at them without dieing right on the spot! He would never believe her, never!
But he would not heed her silent prayers, and he spun her around, her hands taking a tight hold about her upper arms. Relena nearly fainted as hate poured into her from his eyes. How could he?hate her so much?
?Heero, I told you that it wasn?t-?
He slapped her, knocking her back against a wall. Relena let out a scream, but this did not seemed to worry the torn man. He stood above her, his body cloaked in a wet, torn t-shirt and sopping jeans, the look in his eyes crazed. She did not even recognize him.
?Do not say my name! Do you know how much I dreamed of you saying it, screaming it out right before you?re damn minions dragged me from you bed. You seduced me, and I fell for it!?
Relena stood, anger fueling her, for nothing else could. ?I never seduced you! Never!?
Heero moved forward, causing Relena to slowly back up. ?How about we finish what you started 13 months and 21 days ago, eh Relena? I have been able to think of nothing else. You begged me to enter you bed-?
?You will not touch me!? Relena screamed, dodging as he lunged forward. Relena stood, the backs of her heels against the bottom stair. Heero slammed the wall and turned around, his eyes growing darker.
?You will finish what you began if I have to force you,? his smiled, his tone unrecognizable and terrifying. Relena blanched, going white.
?You-you wouldn?t dare-?
Heero than laughed, long and cruel. ?You really think I wouldn?t? So beautiful, and so stupid!? and he lunged again.
Relena screamed, racing up the stairs. She somehow made it up without him reaching her, and stepped a single foot into her room when her hair was yanked hard. Relena was pulled back against him and Heero?s strong hands grabbed her, holding her and forcing her back into her own bedroom.
?Don?t, please Heero!? she cried as she attempted to raise her hands to scratch his face. He was not the man he had been, and he was going to do whatever it was that he had been plotting ever since? Her eyes widened as he began ripping of her paltry nightgown. Before she could protest once again she was thrown against the floor, Heero above her.
?No armed lovers in here this time, Relena? No one to come running when you scream out my name?? His hands grabbed her body, squeezing and roving over it roughly. Relena cried out.
?Please, please stop!?
But Heero wouldn?t stop, he couldn?t. He no longer hand control of himself. Not even he knew what he was going to do to her. He simply pinned her to the ground, causing her to cry out, until another cry called out. A small, hungry cry. Heero froze, his body tensing. Relena whimpered, but could say nothing.
Heero pushed himself from Relena, standing and heading across her room through a closed door. He did not hear Relena pick herself up from behind him, or wrap the tattered remains of her gown about her.
Heero pushed open the door, entering the pale blue nursery. A baby lay crying in a bassinet, its small pinched face red and its mouth open wide. Heero moved towards the child, silent. The baby stopped crying for a moment and opened it?s Prussian blue eyes. Heero hesitated for a moment, his heavy breathing slowed, before finally reaching out to pick the child up.
Relena stood at the door, tears falling down her face.
?This is my child,? he said simply, not trace of?anything in his voice.
?Yes,? Relena said, her voice thick with tears, but soft and assured. He didn?t need her answer, for he already knew it was.
?Please, give him to me.? She said, moving forward. Heero ignored her.
?This is my child,? he said again, not looking back at her.
Relena seemed to grow scared, she moved closer. ?He is hungry, give him to me,? she said as he finally turned to face her.
Without a word he held the child out, and Relena rushed forward to take it. ?Shhh? shhh?? she whispered softly as she moved the child to her chest. In a moment he was feeding, and Relena closed her eyes. When he finally finished, Relena moved him to her shoulder and began, as most mothers did, to rub his back. Heero simply watched the pair, and then moved forward as if to take the baby himself.
Relena backed up, holding the baby against her. ?No,? she said, already knowing what he wanted.
?That is my child, and he belongs with me. Give him to me,? he said, moving still closer. Relena held the child tighter; he wouldn?t dare try to?to forcefully take the child, would he?
?His name is Michael, and he is mine,? she said, almost begging. She knew that if he did attempt to take the child from her, he would succeed.
Heero was silent for another moment. He then moved forward, but this time towards the door. ?You have 15 minutes to pack the child?s things. I am leaving, and I am taking him with me. Whether you go or not is your own affair, but this child is coming with me,? and he left the room.
Relena stood speechless, and then slid down against the wall as tears fell from her face. Michael rested contently in her arms, and even Relena?s sobs did not wake him.
The babe burped softly in his sleep, and fluttered his captivating, Prussian blue eyes.

I'm totally hooked. Even though the format was rather hard to read, the plot was amazing. I'm dying to know what's going to happen between them, and the baby's fate... please, don't leave us hanging for too long!

[takisha16]

ooook.....
Heero is definitely the bad guy here....which is gonna take some
getting used to!
I can't believe he wanted to rape her, and also that they have a kid together!!
I hope she certainly braves him as best as she can and goes with him to protect the baby!
I hope Heero does not want little Michael as an apprentice!
I'm certainly on a high with this start!
Please continue the dosage!
