Ravens and
Roses
A serenade of love (Chp 5)
Sally-Po closed the door to
Raven's room behind her. She glanced around at
the assembled group, their
concern showing in their faces.
She sighed, "Trowa has a nasty cut there but
he will be okay. He is strong.
He may have to lay off the circus for a while though. Raven, I'm not too sure
about her. I've seen cases like hers before but . . ." Sally stopped, frowning.
"What Sally?" asked Quatre, patting her
on the arm.
She looked at him saying, "She has so much pain, so much
fear, so much hate.
She went under an incredible amount of stress back
there. She wouldn't have
stopped normally I think. She would have killed him
if…" Everyone looked
around for Heero. He was gone.
Relena sighed.
Everyone left, knowing in that silence lay a fate two people
shared.
Wufei let down his hair, brushing it with smooth strokes.
He sighed, This
day had gone well. One insane girl and a hurt Trowa, just
what you need on a
vacation. Sally-Po looked over at him.
"What is
it Wufei?" she said sitting down next to him.
"Just this day. That girl, Raven, she reminded me of Merian. That look
in her eyes, that power,
the strength, the anger. It was all there," He
looked at Sally, expecting
some reaction.
She just frowned, "Yes, I thought you would think that.
But Wufei, she
doesn't need that power. It's the one thing that is bogging
her down!"
Wufei looked startled, "She is really that insane?"
Sally smiled a little, than punched him in the shoulder, "Wufei, you are
such a little nerd sometimes."
Quatre looked out of
Raven's window. He glanced down at the beach and at
the lone figure
strolling down the beach. He looked over at the prone figure
on the
bed. He sat down on bed, re-taping the bandage around Raven's arm
were
it had come unstuck. He sighed, then left the room.
Duo
yawned as Hilde brushed out his long hair. She twisted it into a neat
braid
and let it fall on his back. He sat there waiting for her to turn off
the
light and go to sleep. She didn't move.
"Hilde, what's the matter?" He
turned. Hilde was sitting there, a far away
look on her face. "Hilde, Earth
to Hilde. Come in Hilde?" He waved a hand in
front of her face.
She
started, "Ohh. Sorry Duo. I was just spacing out, about that girl.
Raven."
"You mean the one, who tried to kill me," said Duo, getting up to turn
off
the light.
"Yah, the one who tried to kill you. The one who
likes Trowa," she replied
as he lay down.
"The one who likes WHAT?" yelled Duo, siting up quickly and hitting his head
on the
headboard.
"You didn't notice?" Hilde laughed as the disgruntled pilot
rubbed his head.
"No, was I supposed too?" asked Duo, lying back down.
"Hilde?" Duo looked
over at the figure next to him. She was asleep,
breathing lightly.
Duo smiled softly and put his arm around her.
Catherine put down her book. She looked with love at the
boy lying on the
bed. She reached over and put a hand on his arm. His
eyelids flickered.
"Trowa? Are you awake Trowa?" said Catherine, leaning
over him.
"Raven," said Trowa in his sleep, fists clenching.
"Oh Trowa," answered Catherine, as her heart broke like glass.
Heero walked along the beach. The moon was just coming out in the dark
sky. T
he moon looks so beautiful, he thought. He stopped as footsteps
sounded
behind him. He turned. Relena stood there, holding out a jacket. He
took it
from her and put it on. She fell in step with him as they walked
down the
beach. Relena sighed and put her head on his shoulder. She is so
tired, so
worried about that girl. That girl like me, Heero thought. She stopped for
a
moment. He looked at her, moonlight glinting off of golden
hair. He felt a
familiar ache in his heart, a feeling lost and found again.
"She's like you," said Relena quietly.
"Yes, she is," answered
Heero.
"It scares me how much," said Relena, staring at the moon hanging
in the sky.
"Why?" asked Heero, a bit taken back.
"You found
something. Something you could have faith in, a heart, feeling,
and emotion.
You found it in a person you loved. She doesn't have one. She
will be like
that forever. Trapped in side herself searching for her other
half, her
heart," said Relena, grasping Heero's hand like she would never let
go. As
he turned toward her a tear escaped his eye, running down his cheek,
to
fall, upon the sand.
Author's Random Mumblings: *sniff* That was kind of
depressing. I can't
believe I'm THAT depressed. I mean I just made Heero
cry, for God's sake.
*waves tiredly* I think my brain cells are going. Hope
y'all liked it.
See Ya Laterz!!!!!
