A Locket Song Chapter 2

By: Rei Tamashii
Trieze walked down a hall and entered the library to meet his father, Dekiem.

"You wanted to speak to me, Father?"

"Yes, you already know about the plan right?"

Trieze nodded, "Well put it in set tomorrow."

"And bring your cousin along."

Trieze nodded and left.

He smirked and looked out at the sky, "You'll be mine, Relena Peacecraft. And then I'll be the King of the World."

Many maids of his palace greeted Heero as he passed by when he had awoken that morning. Hilde had woken him up from yet another pleasant dream and had scolded at him for sleeping too much but she did not know how much pain he was in. His whole body was sore from riding and not sleeping much. His father had requested to see him in the throne hall. King Odin was a fair and gentle man though old he was still in perfect health according to Dr Jay, his trusted doctor and friend for as long as he could remember since his mother had died. Heero picked up his pace in fear of being greeted even more and being in delay. Soon after many minutes he was in the throne hall and he bowed in greeting to his father. "Heero, Trieze had led a large war band as well as some slavers and their plan has begun yesterday morning. You must hurry and get Princess Peacecraft before Trieze gets her! Go now!"

Heero gasped and nodded; running off to get everything together. They left just before the sun set and they rode in a gallop. If Princess Peacecraft was going to be targeted, he knew that his foster brother would be targeted as well if he tried to protect her. And knowing Duo, he would have followed the orders and protect her.

His large war band followed. Trowa and Wufiel behind him as well as Quarte in the back behind other trustworthy men that he had grown up with when he was young.

Relena spoke the words, "Through my blazing eyes, my soul is lit with a roaring fire. Wound thee of the flesh and bone I seek, make them burn only never to move." Relena pointed at the tree and it burned a hole in it. Smiling to herself she stretched her arm. Clamp had given her a piece of paper written with the spell and what to do before he left. Where? She did not know.

"Hey, Lena." Relena spun around to see Duo. She smiled at him in discomfort. "Did you see that?" Relena asked.

"See what?" Duo's face was in a puzzled look. So he hadn't seen and truthfully he hadn't. He had just walked over after doing his morning prays to god.

Suddenly screams and shrills were heard and fire bustled out from the top of the village and smoke filled the air. Relena coughed as the smoke drifted towards their way and tears welled up in her eyes she heard Duo cough a few times as he led her to somewhere safe. Suddenly they both turned around and both of their homes were in flames.

"Duo, the church!"

Duo shook his head but said nothing. Besides he had never sworn himself to god yet so he not a nun and he had never intended to be. He had never cared about the people there so tugging on Relena's hand they ran for it hiding themselves in the woods and hoped that no one planned to burn it down.

Relena was thankful that her grandfather had left and gone out of town by morning. So she knew that he was safe.

Duo tugged Relena on the arm to get her to stand up as he heard horses gallop towards them and screams of victory. They ran quicker than they have in their lives and ran as quickly as possible as to not be seen. Relena looked over her shoulder and caught a long of honey golden hair just like her's but she didn't get to see his face for Duo placed his arm around her waist and pulled her along. "Duo where are we going?"

"Somewhere where I know that someone I trust is going to be waiting for us." Was all that he would say.

Duo led her to a small circle made by tall trees blocking them from sight, he gestured for her to sit down and she obeyed. "Duo how is anyone going to find us here?"

"A friend of mine will look at this place directly."

Their breath was ragged and they were trying desperately to catch their breath. But before they could balls of fire were thrown at them and a circle of fire surrounded them. "Relena!" Duo grabbed her arm and lifted her up off her feet and jumped over the fire. However he was no lucky for his right leg was burnt up to his mid leg. "Duo!" Relena held him up enough for him to walk with leaning on her for support and strength.

"Well so much for waiting for them to come, aye, Lena?" Duo said as he winced when he felt more pain well up in his legs as he took another step. Their pace had to be slow now since Duo was injured and Relena would not leave him alone.

Heero galloped through the brunt down village only a few sparks were still on and they walked slowly around the village. "Men go! We must find Duo!"

The men nodded and once again racing to get Duo and the princess.

Suddenly Heero held up his hand as he spotted blood and foot prints. One was small like a woman and another was big for a man, and blood trailed along as if one of them was injured. Heero looked up, he had gone to the one place that was surely where Duo was but however it was brunt down. "Follow the trail of blood."

Before any response could be told they all heard someone screaming in horror. They quickly ran to the voice they stopped quickly. Trieze and his men were in a front of a young woman with honey blonde hair, her blue dress was stained with some blood and tears slid down her cheeks and she held on to someone. A man with a braid and blood pooling around.

"So you're Princess Peacecraft. My my, you're a pretty. And with such nice breasts!" Trieze exclaimed, the girl behind him with forked eyebrows laughed. Heero caught sight that Trieze licked his lips and made the girl scared and crawled a bit back.

Heero noticed the braid and rushed forward. When Trieze turned his head to see Heero and his war band coming towards them, they grunted and tried to pull the girl up to him but Duo kicked him but what Heero noticed was that his leg was bleeding and his skin brunt, suddenly Trieze drew his sword and shot it through his leg. Duo cried out in pain. "Stop it!" Relena stood in front of him after Trieze slid the sword out of the leg as if it was a stick of butter. What made her shiver was that Trieze ran the blade of his sword on her cheek, smearing the blood onto her flesh.

But his sword was jerked back when Heero placed his own sword and smacked it right back away from the girl's cheek. Trieze glared at Heero with anger flaming in his eyes but he made no attempt to attack so his war band sped off.

"Hold it men!" Heero ordered.

Heero looked down at the girl who stood still and blood on her cheek. She shook with fear but as he got off his horse to take a look at his brother, the girl was already there.

"Hang on Duo, okay?"

Duo nodded as much as he could through the pain. "I'm going to heal it, I promise. It was my fault you got injured." She whispered.

The girl helped him sit against the tree trunk behind him and then placed her hands gently onto his wound. Duo cried out in pure pain. Heero narrowed his eyes and took a step towards her, "You're hurting him!" Heero yelled.

But she did not remove her hands away from the wound but closed her eyes and said, "The blood that sheds on thee flesh shall close and heal by my will. Heal the soul and protect it to make thee stronger and make thee never shed another drop of blood for now." When the girl opened her eyes the wound was gone and only her had prints of blood remained onto the skin. The men behind Heero gasped and Heero blinked in complete surprise. Suddenly the girl looked up at them and closed her eyes but when she reopened them again her lovely eyes were wide and shed with tears and she started to run away from them. Duo being healed stood up as quickly as he could and tried to chase after her however Quarte prevented him from doing so. "Was that her?" He asked.

Duo nodded.

Heero and Quarte scrambled up onto the horses, and Quarte helped Duo up onto his own horse since he did not have his own. "We're going to have to find her quickly, she might bump into Trieze again." Heero said.
