The Fire Within - The Beginning

The Fire Within
Prologue
*The Beginning*

Heero Yuy held tight to his horse?s mane as the animal ran across the fields.
His long sword gleamed from the sunlight with red streaks falling from its tip. He was tired just like everyone else, however he wasn?t willing to give up and retreat. Especially when there was a chance to win this battle and beat the Rebels.

His attire was covered with dirt and blood, barely seeing the true blue color of the uniform.

With a shout, he encouraged his men to charge and continue with their assault. He was their captain and they trusted his orders with complete loyalty.

All around him, Heero saw men, some in blue while others in gray, slashing each other with their swords, shouting at each other and becoming ruthless. He smelled the odor of gunpowder and the smell of blood drying up.

Heero dug his sword into the nearest Rebel, scratching his arm. The Rebel yelled in pain and Heero took the time to take him down with the next thrust.

?Captain Yuy, the flag!? a soldier yelled out.

Heero turned around to see the flag fall from its position. He turned the horse around and leaned forward to grab the flag before it had time to hit the ground. He wasn?t going to let the enemy get their filthy hands on it. A soldier grab the wooden pole and Heero continued onward to the battle.

He had no idea how long he or his men were there fighting but he knew all were tired, including himself. His whole body ached and his breaths were becoming shorter.

Suddenly he felt the horse stumble a little while running. He looked down and saw a bullet wound on the horse?s leg. The horse continued to move, however Heero knew he was finished.

Turning around, Heero saw a Rebel running towards him, aiming him with a gun. Even though the horse tried his best to avoid the shot, Heero felt the bullet hit his leg hard.

He didn?t feel any pain take place but he did take notice of the blood spreading around his leg.

Another Rebel ran towards him and before Heero was able to slash at him, he could feel the Rebel?s sword graze his arm.

Heero shouted from the pain striking the man as hard as he could, killing him instantly.

?Captain, should we retreat?? a young soldier asked him. To young for Heero?s liking by all means.

?Sound retreat!? Heero yelled backed. The battle was lost.

He wondered why he couldn?t hear the horn of retreat but then he realized his was losing blood fast. Yet somewhere in his mind he didn?t seemed to care much.

?Retreat!? he yelled out to his soldiers. He pulled the horse over, letting his men pass before him.

Once Heero reached the edge of the woods, the horse stumble again. Heero knew the horse wasn?t going to make it back. He shouted in anger for losing such an animal. Not that he cared much for the horse. However, he respected the horse?s strength and courage.

Heero felt another bullet pass his face and a second later he felt the horse stagger. The bullet had stuck the horse once again.

The animal traveled a couple more yards before falling heavily on it?s side. Having Heero falling himself upon the ground.

Yet to Heero it didn?t seemed to be happening to him. The next minute he knew, he was on the ground tasting the leaves and the next there was nothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena Peacecraft felt a quick shiver pass through her spine. She looked up and saw nothing. However, a minute later she heard the sound of fighting.

The autumn air felt crisp on Relena?s face as he bent to pick up the last of the year?s potatoes.

It was then when she heard the shouts of yelling and gunshots closer than before.

?Why do people fight?? she asked to herself as she listened closely to the battle.

?When will peace come about??

Author?s Notes:
Okay?..I know it?s REAL SHORT, but I just had this idea of writing this story. I promise that the next chapter WILL be much LONGER. The idea to write the story came upon to me when reading an novel. So I thought to give it a shot. I hoped you like it so far, even though its short. That?s the main reason why I had this to be the prologue. So please do forgive me L

Lols anyways
I?ll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can.

xoxo
