Heero quickly grab Relena's hand and lead them off behind the metal lockers. His eyes searched for a place where Scott can't find Relena. All he could think of was in a locker. Immediately, he opened a full-length locker and shoved Relena in. She protested but had no chance to say anything as the locker door trapped her inside. Heero swiped out his gun and lean his body against the cold locker Relena occupied. Her body was squished against the locker as she tried to move. While he tries to concentrate on Scott's footsteps, he checked his gun and it was fully loaded.

Scott's footsteps echo in the room. He observed the room impatiently, searching for any sign of Relena. His fierce, blue eyes blaze through the lockers. The gun in his hand was ready to fire at any minute and anyone. He raised his gun and fired a bullet at a wall blindly. Echoes of the sound of the bullet were like an explosion. Scott waited for any sudden movement or signs of Relena or Heero. He began to be more impatient by the second.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are. You can't hide Relena, but you could always run you know." Scott hissed. He paused, then continued. "Afraid of the past, huh Relena? All you do is run. Like a coward you are, scared to face anyone from the past. You could always run again but we will capture you eventually. No matter what Relena, you will never actually have a life to live for. You are useless in this world if we weren't here." Scott smiled as he heard a fist slam into one of the lockers.

Heero stepped out from behind the lockers, pointing his gun at the man in front of him. Heero's breaths were deep and raspy. His dark ocean eyes glared at Scott with hatred.

"Well, well, look at we have here. Relena, you make me laugh. So like your guy is actually going to do your dirty work? Ha! I guess this is like going to be an old western show down, or should I say duel. You know what? This is actually going to be an experience that I'll enjoy. So what do you say partner?" Scott said in a mocking old western accent.

"I don't really give a damn of what you're trying to say but you are such a low-life bastard I say. How dare you say those things to Relena. I don't know what is your problem but you are sure pissing me off." Heero's grip on the gun tightens.

"Why are you protecting her? She's just another dumb blonde toying with your heart, you know. There are better women out there who are much more worth protecting." Scott smirked.

"Go to hell you scum." Relena appeared up beside Heero. Heero glared at her and demanded her to stay out this and to runaway to safety. Relena ignored him.

"Well sugar baby, if I'm going to hell, you're going to have to come with me." Scott joked. Relena took out her gun and automatically fired at Scott's head. This bullet missed Scott's head by an inch.

"I guess you practiced your target shooting." Heero and Relena abruptly turned around.

There, at the doorway, in a black, full-length trench coat stood Yvette (Lydia) Peacecraft. Her brown eyes pierce right through Relena's heart. Yvette smiled at Relena mockingly. Relena's eyes twitch and her heartache at the sight before her. Memories of the past click around her mind. Breathing became quite difficult to her. Relena tries to say something but all she could manage was this.

"You're supposed to be dead, mother." Relena whispered.

"So what are you saying dear? That I'm a ghost? I may be back from the dead or a woman who looks like your mother. Dear, think about it, am I a ghost or a woman who looks like your mother?" Yvette asked.

"You are Lydia Maria Peacecraft, my mother aren't you? Mother, were you alive all this time?" Relena choked with tears cascading down her face.

"I am not Lydia whatsoever. My name is Yvette and nothing else. I'm not your mother. Relena dear, you are what I call a mistake. I may have brought you out to the world, but I don't consider you my child. Relena, your father was pretty drunk when he was partying with his friends at a bar I worked at. I thought he was my boyfriend and so he and I were fooling around that night. All of a sudden, we were doing the mattress mambo and I became pregnant. Your pathetic father's parents insisted we wed because of the baby inside of me. So then we were forced to wed and then you were born. All I have to say now is that Relena, you know the truth now." Yvette rolled her eyes and smiled at Heero.

Heero glared at Yvette, while holding Relena in his arms. Relena stared at her mother with disbelief.

"I can't believe you Mother! Calling me a mistake? I thought you loved me and cared about me! Was all that before an act? Why? What was that about when Father murdered you years ago? What the hell was that? If Father didn't frame me that I murdered you, I wouldn't have to run away!" Relena choked. Her eyes were stinging her to death with tears. Relena felt shocked, betrayed, full of angst, and confused. 'Is this really my mother who said those things? Is this a dream? It has to be! My mother loved me; I was not a mistake. I can't be.' Relena thought. Relena aimed her gun to Yvette's forehead. The safety lock was unlocked. With bloodshot eyes and tears rolling down her cheeks, Relena locked her eyes on Yvette.

Yvette smiled and said, "Shoot me, Relena. If that is what you wished to do, go ahead. But you know you wouldn't shoot your own mother."

"You're not my mother. You even said so yourself." Relena whispered but didn't fire. She couldn't do it. She knew that woman is her mother. All these years seeking revenge on her father for murdering her mother was a waste of time. Her mother never wanted her. She was a mistake.

In the mean time, little did they know, except Yvette, Scott reloaded his gun and was preparing to fire at Heero. At the moment his gun was loaded, he pointed the gun straight at Heero's head.

"I'll take your place in Relena's love life now, Jap." At that moment, when Scott was about to fire, someone yelled something out to Heero.

"Heero! Watch out you dork!"

Heero ducked and Scott fired a bullet out but missed. The bullet scratched Relena's arm though. She hissed in pain. She turned around and saw Wufei and Duo holding back Scott so he won't escape. She looked back and saw Yvette running out the door. Relena dashed after her mother turning toward the right.

Heero sensed Relena's presence was gone; he got off the floor quickly. He guessed Relena chased after her mother so he raced out the door. He looked out the door and saw which way Relena went and saw her running down the hall at the left; he quickly ran after her. He saw Relena turn to the right and did the same. As he began to catch up to her, Relena stopped running and took out something from her pocket. Heero finally caught up to Relena and in short breaths, he asked, "Where is she? Did you lose her?"

Relena did not answer or faced Heero. Heero felt something was odd and faced Relena toward him. Heero gasped, "Who the hell are you? You're not Relena!"

"Bingo pretty boy." The Relena impersonator sprayed a knockout gas in Heero's face and in a second, Heero was knocked out unconscious. The Relena impersonator laughed and checked if Heero is actually knocked out. 'Hmm.I guess he's knocked out. I gotta tell Dad that I got our bait. Gosh this guy is so hot. Wow, what a nice ass he has, I wonder how Relena got a guy this hot. He's too good for her, but not too good for me." She thought and phoned her boss on her cell.

Yvette ran, as fast as she could to get Relena off her tail but Relena was still 5 yards away from her. She frowned and kept on running Relena was getting closer by the second. Yvette took out some smoke bombs and threw them behind her. Smoke surrounded Relena and blinded her site. The air that had entered her body stung her lungs. She began to coughing and wheezing as she continued to breathe in the smoke. That gave Yvette time to make her disappearance and off she disappeared in the shadows. As soon as the smoke drifts away, Yvette was no where in site. Anger and sadness overwhelm Relena as she sat there in the empty hall. Her eyes wanted to shed the tears that have been waited to escape down her face. She still didn't understand what her mother said to her. Confusion still lay inside of her. There is nothing else she could do now but more was yet to come.

"Look at what we have here Wuffles." Duo said, staring down at Scott. Duo smiled as Scott glared at him. Before Duo could say anything, Wufei smacked his face with his fist. Duo instantly landed onto the floor.

" Idiot, that's for calling me Wuffles." Wufei hissed at the braided one.

Wufei turned his attention back to Scott. Scott looked at him as if Wufei was a mad man. Scott laughed a little and planted his wicked smile back on his face. Scott has something on his mind and it has to do with Wufei here. Scott arched his eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to kill me?"

Wufei thinks this guy on the floor is now Duo Jr. with stupid questions.

"I may do that, though I do want to hurt you because of what you have caused my friend." Wufei snapped. Wufei wondered if he should choke the guy to death before he starts asking idiotic questions.

"Well, why waste your time on me, when you could beat up that guy over there? He seems to annoy you constantly all the time. He calls you Ruffles-"

"Its Wuffles, not Ruffles the chip brand.or whatsoever." Wufei growled.

"Okay, okay, why don't you join me? I mean you would be paid more than what you do now. You will be better respected also you don't have to deal with dumb blonde chick-friends. Oh ya and no one who will annoy you or bother you at all! So what do you say?" Once Scott finished talking, a fist whacked into his face.

~ TBC.

So what do you guys think? Good eh? Or not? Please be kind to review or drop me off an email okay? Well later people! Love, Christine aka Pink Cloud
