A Locket Song Chapter 10

By: Rei Tamashii

Thunder crackled down and it seemed as if Relena was controlling it. Horses lashed back in fear and Heero scrambled to his feet.

Her eyes were a golden color and she raised a fist sending the thunder striking at her again.

"Within the skies of my enemies' land, I call forth a power so great to make sure the wind blows without thee cry."

Thunder crackled everywhere hitting Heero's army as well as the opponents. Some ended up dead right away and some landed on the ground clutching their wounds but Relena didn't stop there. She narrowed her eyes and Heero could feel all of her emotions that had been pent up for the last few days release in all of the power that she seemed to lost.

Suddenly the locket hanging form her neck opened by itself and the music came forth. The whole battlefield seemed to have gone silent and the motions seemed to have slowed down and time seemed to have faded away as the music rolled on. More thunder crackled from the dark skies and people rushed out to see what was happening silently. The thunder made no sound of it's scary hiss and the soft music seemed to be the only thing everyone can hear. Relena closed her eyes and relaxed under the soft music and the diamond on the inside sparkled, casting a bright white glow. Even though Relena was completely relaxed, it didn't stop her from seeing the memories that was played out in her eyes and it only brought more injuries to the people around her.

As the song started to fade away, Relena opened her eyes that were no longer a golden color. She looked around, not able to move her own body as if someone else was doing all of this and she was only watching. Relena could feel blood pry out of her tightly closed lips and suddenly all of the thunder ceased and the dark clouds seemed to fade and the rain stopped immediately.

"Relena!"

She felt herself falling and land limply on the ground. Tears spilled from the edges of her eyes and the landed in a soft and small puddle around her temples. She took on last glance at the blood that she had shed and closed her eyes, falling into a peaceful and endless darkness.

"Relena!" He rushed over to her and picked her limp and cold body. He may have been drenched in wetness and cold sweat of fear but as his gloved hand picked the girl's fragile body, her cold skin fell through to his palm.

"Relena!" He shouted again as Heero started shaking her. Relena didn't move. Heero said her name again only to find no response. Fear started to creep up on him and he looked up. All of the warriors had fled and their shadows seemed like a small speck.

Heero looked down at the girl in his arms again and shook her again. Heero wiped off the blood on her lips and Duo came up behind him.

"Heero, not many of our men are very injured because Relena's powers seemed to have missed them all."

Heero nodded grimly. How could it be possible? Relena had lost all of her powers, so how was it that she could summon all of this?

It didn't make any sense. Heero and Duo thought. Suddenly the memory of blood spilling from her lips told Heero something strange.

If Relena didn't have any powers left in her than maybe it was still in her blood. Maybe she shed blood from herself because she was using her blood as fuel.

Heero could feel cold sweat fall from his forehead and his eyes looked wild. "Relena!" He shouted shaking her with more force than before.

Suddenly Heero noticed that her face was pale and shook her again. Nothing. Fear shook his large frame and he suddenly closed his eyes. He reopened them again, their depths cold and heartless as he picked Relena off of the ground and walked over to his horse.

"I'm going to my villa just outside the boarder of my kingdom. Duo make sure everyone gets to the castle before I do."

With that Heero galloped away.

The winter wind whipped at her and she tried to open her eyes only to find herself lacking the strength to even open them. Relena groaned. And she nuzzled into the one thing she could find to give her warmth.

Heero looked down at the girl in his arms and noticed that she was still clad in her dress. Heero locked his arms tighter around her and her expression suddenly turned into a twisted look of fate. Heero could see the rooftop of his villa and he nudged his horse to pick the speed a little more.

Maggie looked out the window hoping for her cousin to come. She had heard that her older cousin would come to the villa and that he had brought a friend along. Maggie shifted in her seat and peered through the thick glass hoping that she'd find a horse that carried her cousin and hoping that the friend he brought along was a girl.

A maid came along named Catherine and she sat down quietly next to the young girl. "Maggie, don't worry Heero will here soon and when he does I'll call for you."

Just on cue the door was opened letting the cold air whip right in and then close again locking away the coldness. Heero walked in and Maggie jumped off of the chair.

"Cousin Heero!"

Suddenly both her and Catherine noticed the girl in his arms, soaking wet and a pained expression on her lovely and pale face. Heero looked down at his young cousin and gave her a slight smile. Maggie's face perked up and she giggled.

"Yeah, Cousin Heero brought a girl-friend." The young child clapped her hands excitingly, finally having a friend to play with. Catherine touched the young girl's shoulder and said, "Maggie, why won't you wait up in your room, I think your cousin would want to dry up right now."

Maggie nodded and bounced away leaving Heero and the girl with Catherine.

"Catherine, I need you to get Sally. Relena is in pain." His voice came out ragged and the girl in his arms suddenly coughed sending blood to stain her wet dress. Relena kept coughing and she whimpered in pain still not even having the energy to open her eyes.

Catherine nodded and lead the way to an extra bedroom. But before Heero could put the girl down Catherine held up her hand. "Master Heero, it would be best if I dress the girl before sending her to bed so simply leave."

Heero didn't want to leave Relena alone but agreed and closed the oak doors behind him and walked over to his own quarters to redress in new dry and warm clothing.

*** Relena finally gained enough power to open her eyes to see that she was in the nude. A small laugh was heard from beside her.

The girl had curly brown hair and light soft eyes. She wore a nice and simple red dress and in her soft colored arms held a soft pastel blue dress in her arms.

"Hi, I'm Catherine. Here let me help you in these clothing."

Soon Relena was dressed and she sat in bed. "Where's Heero?" She asked the maid softly. The maid smiled and looked at the door where on cue it opened and it revealed Heero. He was dressed in a dark blue suit. He rushed over to her and sat next to her. Catherine thinking that maybe the two needed some time alone left.

Relena looked down at her hands which were neatly folded on her sheet covered lap. She did not want to talk to the prince. He had lied to her. Telling her that by being with him that she'd be safe when all along he was sending her to his king, his father, so she could marry him and give him the power of her kingdom. Without her knowledge her thin frame shook with rage.

Heero thinking that she was cold rested a hand on her shoulder which was lightly covered with see-through silk. Heero looked at her dress. It was a soft pastel blue color and it was long, the front gave a small dip and the sleeves were up to her elbows with see-through silk weaved around her arm.

A tear fell down from her eyes and instead of rolling down her cheek it fell and landed on her arm. "Don't touch me, Prince Heero."

Her cold words sent him flinching back. Relena snapped her head over to him with her eyes filled of angry tears and pain.

"You lied to me! You told me by staying with you that I'd be safe when all along you were sending me to your father so he could have the power of my kingdom."

"Relena, listen to me."

"No! Don't speak to me!"

Heero wrapped his arms around her and she fought against him but he was far stronger than she in her state at the moment. Suddenly she stopped fighting and fell limp in his arms. Heero pulled her back a little to look at her face. Blood was present on her pale face and on her lips.

"Relena?"

She didn't answer but she groaned. Heero laid her softly back into the pillows and ran to the door. "Catherine! Get me Sally here, now!"

His voice echoed in the halls.

Sally came in a instant and she walked over to the girl.

"I want you to take out all of her memory of magic and her grandfather." Heero ordered.

To Be Continued.
