**** A/N: Did I leave you on a cliffhanger on the fourth chapter? Cause I hope I did, since I never get reviews, I might as well leave you there on the cliffhanger that I put up for Relena, but since I never give up no matter what until I finish my mission, I'm going to continue. REVIEWS WILL YOU BAKAS! Anyhow this long chapter took a lot of time so if you don't review I'll make each chapter shorter and shorter and shorter...

A Locket Song Chapter 5
By: Rei Tamashii
Clamp rode his horse in a quick pace; the only reason why he wasn't using his powers to travel was because if he did than he would be in a heap of trouble as well as putting his search of his granddaughter on hold.
His home was brunt down and through his magic, he could not sense Relena. He would only be able to sense her if she remembers him, however it would seem that she has completely forgotten about him as if she was dead. Clamp rode faster through the flames of the villages that Trieze had brunt down so he made it his trail to follow. However soon, the flames stopped and he was left with two roads. Each one leading to somewhere unknown. So he took off to the left, hoping to find his granddaughter.
****
Relena stumbled onto a root sticking out from the dirt and fell down to her knees. It was almost dawn and she had been walking for many hours. She was walking away because she wanted to kill herself but she was also walking away because she couldn't bear having her friends killed all because of her. Many people in villages has suffered because of her, because she was being hunted down for power by greedy men who wanted to marry her for the power of the world and then kill her. So she decided that if she were going to die, she would die by her own hands. At first she was going to take a horse but then remembered two things. One was that she could not ride and the other was that Heero's war band were already short two horses so she would no make them suffer even more.
Relena was still dressed in her pale blue wool dress that gave her little warmth since she had not brought her cloak; she had run quickly not bringing anything. She figured that she would move easily and quicker if she brought little things. All she held was her shawl, which she placed tightly around her giving her more warmth as she walked. It may have been spring, but winter was very much alive in the springs. It was cold and bitter and snow often came more than rain or sunshine. Picking herself up and dusting off the light dirt that cringed gently on her skirt she continued to walk away further from the camp hoping she would not meet anyone as she walked. Relena looked up at the sky and could tell it was already in the middle of the morning. The sun was shining yet half of it was shadowed by a gray cloud, keeping the warmth away but it showed no signs that it was going to rain so she walked slowly trying not to tire herself out before she reached maybe a cliff or so to jump off of and die.
****
Heero awoke when warm sun streaks splashed onto his face and awoke him and his men. They stifled a yawn and stretched and got up, dropping their blankets onto the ground. Heero shifted as he turned his head away from the sun and tried to get more sleep when he remembered that something was wrapped around him. Heero looked down to meet a thick gray blanket that he had not placed on himself the night before since he had none left. Unless.
Heero scrambled to his feet dropping the blanket and rushed to the hut. Unknowingly dropping his sword that he had held in a tight grip. Relena was nowhere to be seen in the camp.
Heero rushed to the horses and counted them with his mind, none of them was missing and as well none of his men were missing. Unless Trieze had caught her in the middle of the night while they were all asleep. Shaking his head to himself, he knew that if he had come he would have woken up and if Trieze had taken her than why would he end up with her blanket warming him?
Unless she had left in the middle of the night and placed the blanket on top of him.
"Quarte, I'll be leaving myself in search of Relena. She's missing again. Hurry up and ready yourself." Heero ordered.
Heero got onto his horse and rode in a top speed gallop. He knew that if he did not find Relena soon than the enemy might catch her.
**** Relena looked up at the sky again and was guessing by now Heero and his men must've woken up and was searching for her. The sky was complete blue and the sun was shining brightly, she hadn't noticed that the gray clouds had drifted off.
Sighing to herself, Relena walked in a quicker pace.
She hadn't been walking very quickly before when she first started the trip, so she had only placed about three or two long miles between herself and the campsite. So about now she must've been five or six long miles if she had been walking since midnight to late morning.
****
Heero had ridden about four miles already and still no site of the princess. Unless she killed herself already.
Shaking his head of the thought he remembered that there was only one trail to walk upon and it was the same trail in which he was following. So how come he hadn't reached her yet?
He saw faint foot prints that he was certain was Relena.
A small figure appeared in his sight and it turned a corner that lead to the raging waters. Could the figure be Relena?
Heero stopped his horse and hid it from view and walked after the figure on foot.
****
Relena had heard water bashing against rocks nearby so she turned the corner, not knowing that she had come upon a thin cliff line above the waters where waves were clashing and batting against the rocks below and on the cliff. Relena breathed in and took a step closer to the hedge, her body shaking in fear. Her eyes looked down at the water where the waves clashed together on the rocks as if they were all fighting. Just like what people were doing now, all because of her.
Relena blinked and it cleared her mind. No one was going to fight over her now. Now when she would be dead, then there will be nothing to fight over about and she would be with her dead family.
She took another step closer to the hedge and another.
**** Heero saw how the figure looked like and it was Relena. Her golden hair was fanning her shoulders and it tumbled down her back. Her pale blue wool dress flying sideways and it would seem that she was taking more and more steps towards to the water where rocks dwelled beneath.
"Relena!" Heero heard himself scream at her.
Her head turned around and she gasped. Her eyes with dull pain and sadness. Their eyes locked for long dragging minutes until Heero finally ran after her.
Relena's head turned away as she took another step towards the water, only two more steps and she would meet her death.
Suddenly two strong arms reached out and grabbed her. Horrified Prussian blue eyes met with her sea blue eyes of dull pain and sadness. Heero slapped her it was gently yet it stung.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Heero asked as he shook her with more force than he wanted. His body shook with rage as he looked upon her.
"Planning to die."
Heero stopped shaking her and his body stopped shaking as well and his face fixed suddenly upon its emotionless mask. "And why would you do that?"
Heero lead her to his horse, since after his question he received no answer. After getting upon his horse, he helped Relena up as well. After wrapping her in her cloak they rode slowly to meet with the others.
"I'm sorry." Relena said, "For being so weak."
Heero said nothing.
****
After many days, Relena found herself to enjoy things and never made trips like the one before again. She talked easily with Duo and hardly talked with anyone else. Heero unknowingly glared at Duo as they talked since her back was always faced to him. As she and Heero rode together, she would sleep and relax in his embrace and soon it was growing hotter. They passed by no villages and Heero had said that it may take many weeks to get to their destined place.
However Relena knew nothing about who he was or where they were going though she has asked.
But on Relena's side, she knew Heero as the leader of a war band of the king of Kushshiko. And she was guessing that he lived in a village. She has asked countless times of who he was, his relationship to the king, and such and such though she would never receive an answer. The questions he would only answer would be yes or no and they would come with grunts.
****
Mark rode in the woods, looking at Heero's war band through the darkness. Only one more night before he could set his plan into action when Heero's war band would reach the last village before reaching upon Kushshiko. And he was hoping that Heero would have enough votes from his men to rest in Ora.
