A young, maybe around the age of 18, girl, walked down the halls of the Protectors' household. Light blue sparkling eyes, light brown hair swishing from side to side. Clad in a sleeve-less white shirt, blue hip-hugging shorts, and white sneakers. She had a red folder in her hand, that bumped against her thigh with each step.
Coming up to large wooden double doors, she pushed them open, a loud creaking sound filling the halls, while entering a large room. There were several people inside, seated around a large round table. Heero looked up, eyeing the girl, face turning grim, "What do you want Relena?,"
Relena looked around the room, Heero the farthest from her. To the right of him was Lita, followed by Quatre, his girlfriend; a blue eyed, blue haired girl, Ami. Next was Setsuna, a black haired woman with green streaks and red eyes, followed by a few other people. She turned her head back to Heero, "I hope you're not planning on making an attack, are you?,"
"As a matter of fact, we are," he replied, glaring upon the girl, a sense of annoyance and dislike present in his voice.
Relena frowned, ignoring his glares, "You're making things worse and you know it. Instead of fighting, why not make peace with each other. Stop the blood shed,"
Heero shot up from his seat, pushing his seat back, anger burning through his eyes, 'MAKE PEACE!?!? Are you insane?!," he bawled his hands into tight fists, pacing from side to side. Everyone else was quiet, looking upon the duo, the scene rather common between the two. "There's no making peace with those animals. They wont listen to us, they're bent out on destroying us!,"
Relena slammed her folder down on the table, making a rather loud clatter, the old table shifting a bit, her anger and determination burning within her eyes, "Have you tried to make amends with them? I mean seriously Heero, I don't think you want to make peace. You're just trying to fulfill your revenge!,"
"Bullshit," he growled, his anger bubbling, boiling over, his colbat blue eyes turning gold, clashing with Relena's light blue ones, "You don't know what you're talking about," his nails digging into the palms of his hands, piercing the skin, dark red blood sprouting slowly.
Relena crossed her arms over her chest, eyeing him with a cool composure, "Oh? You're not bent on revenge? Ever since your parents were killed in battle with the destroyers, you've always been overwhelmed with revenge. To avenge your parents' death has corrupted your mind,"
Heero turned his piercing gold eyes upon the pacifist, burning invisible holes inside her head. Oh did he wish he could just rip off her head and kick it out the window, "You don't know what it was like, watching your own parents being slaughtered when your 5 years old,"
"No, but my parents were killed that day too," she paused, taking a slow and steady breath. Remembering that day, all the screams…the blood, everywhere, even on her…the dead bodies…the stench of death darkening the sky. Shuttering, she looked towards him, scrutinizing his features, "This is more isn't it? It's not just about your parents, it's about Serena and Alex as well,"
The tension within the room was thick, drowning the people who sat around the table listening intently. The large double doors were suddenly thrown opened, a very pissed blonde headed teen standing in the doorway. Serena stomped her way into the room, with a little girl, with black hair and violet eyes, clinging onto her arm, trying to pull the raging girl out of the room.
"HEERO!! You asswipe! Why didn't you tell me there was a meeting?!," growled the young werewolf.
The black haired little girl let got of Serena and took off towards Setsuna, climbing onto the woman's lap, "I tried to stop her mommy, I really did!," exclaimed the little girl.
Setsuna smiled, lighting up her dark red wisdom filled eyes. "I know Hotaru," she looked over to the raging teen, who had some how pounced on her brother, shaking the hell out of him, as Lita was trying to pull the girl off. She shook her head at the scene, "She's stubborn like her mother," amusement filling her eyes, " and her temper too,"
Quatre and Ami joined into the fiasco, managing to pull Serena off of Heero, with the help of Lita and Relena. Heero stood to his feet, hair ruffled, eyes wide, "Damn Woman!,"
He combed his hair roughly with his fingers, now glaring at his sister, "You're not to be in here,"
Serena was settled down to the ground and she fixed her clothes, "I am too," she glared back at her brother, who's eyes where still their goldish color, "I want to know what is going on, I want to fight,"
"No you will not fight," he exclaimed.
"I will too, you cant stop me,"
"The hell I cant and besides, your pregnant. You're not fit to fight,"
Serena growled, her eyes flashing a dangerous gold momentarily, "I'm not a child anymore Heero. Stop treating me as such, I can take care of myself," her voice ice cold, chilling everyone in the room.
Heero turned to Setsuna, "Can you take Serena…," turning to Relena, "and Relena out of here?,"
Setsuna nodded, , escorting the two fuming females out of the room, with little Hotaru following behind. Heero picked up hi fallen seat, sitting heavily into it, eyes returning to its original color. With an exasperated sigh, he ran a hand through his tussled hair once again, "Now, where were we?,"
******************
Serena huffed, arms crossed over her chest, a scowl upon her pretty face, pissed fumes clouding the air. She turned to Relena, who sighed heavily, their eyes flashing gold with a spark, "You know…," began Serena, causing Relena to look up towards her, " my brother would have taken your head off, if you weren't family,"
Relena suddenly grinned, "Yea, I know," she looked over to her cousin, "I just want peace,"
Setsuna held Hotaru in her arms, silently walking behind the two females, listening intently to their conversation. Serena placed a wry smile upon her lips, "Don't we all?,"
"Heero doesn't seem like he does…even you,"
The blonde cocked an eyebrow in surprise, "I don't?,"
"No you don't, you've got revenge burning in your system,"
"I don't doubt having the sensation of revenge, I mean, the destroyers killed the love of my life, the father of my child, and many others that I loved," she placed a hand upon her swollen belly, everlasting pain welling up in the golden depths of her eyes. "I do want peace too you know, and I know Heero does too…I just know it. It's just hard trying to make peace with the enemy, the enemy that has caused you so much pain,"
Relena slung an arm around her cousin's shoulders, "I know it's hard, but all of the killing wont change the past. It wont bring back those we've lost,"
The comment struck the young werewolf hard, she looked at Relena, "It feels like it does. It's like, every destroyer we kill, brings back those they've killed with their death…or at least repents for it,"
Relena dropped her arm from her cousin's shoulders, going towards her bedroom door, "Look inside your heart, deep down inside, you know it's wrong, no matter how good it feels to spill another's blood. I've learned that myself, I regret killing all of those that I had. They'll start to plague your dreams," she gave a weak smile, "You know, we're just the same as the destroyers, we kill like they do, get a rush when we take a life. Why must we fight each other?," she entered her room, leaving her question lingering in the air.
Serena watched as the door closed, contemplating the question in her mind, lost within her fog of thoughts. She suddenly sighed, turning towards Setsuna and Hotaru. The mother and child looked upon the young werewolf, "She's right you know."
Serena sighed, "I know," she looked upon her second mother, the woman who had raised her and Heero when their parents died, "Sets, do you think we will ever achieve peace?,"
Setsuna's all-knowing eyes clouded over a bit, making her eyes look darker and wiser, "I don't know child…I do hope so…," she looked upon her 2nd daughter , 'you just don't know how much,' keeping the last statement in her mind.
"Hmm…well, I'm going to my room. I need to get some rest,"
Setsuna nodded with a smile, "I need to put Hotaru down for a nap,"
Serena giggled at the horrid expression the 6 year old made, before turning and retreating to her room. She entered her bedroom, flopping down on her bed. With a sigh, Relena's words once again flooded her mind.
'We're just the same as the destroyers …why must we fight each other?,'
She crawled under her blankets, "Why are we fighting?,"
***********************
Unfortunately, Heero never did unleash an attack upon the Destroyers. No one knows why he never went along with his plans, maybe Relena had finally got him to go along with her, or maybe, just maybe, Setsuna had something to do with this. No one shall ever know, for it shall forever remain a mystery.
Months had gone by without any disturbances, things were just peaceful. Everyone was happy, especially Serena, who had finally bore her child. The child was indeed a boy, which had been foretold, and was very adorable. He was named after his father, Alex, and was a little replica of him as well. Blonde curly hair, all of his facial expressions, cherubic features; though, the boy had his mother's gorgeous blue eyes, temper, and stubbornness. The child is only a few months old and is already portraying such characteristics.
Heero had become very attached to little Alex, though he tries to hide it. The baby some how warmed its way into his heart and Heero had become very protective of him. Everything in life was just great, but the peaceful serene atmosphere wasn't going to last for long.
***********************
Serena shot up from her bed, face drenched with sweat. Looking around with wide eyes, she could hear shouts of orders and slight panic outside her bedroom door. Quickly climbing out of her bed, she made her way to her bedroom door, pressing her ear against the door. She heard the frantic shouts of, "Come on! Come on! The city is being attacked! Move out! Move out!,"
She heard a click from her door and her eyes widened impossibly wider. Grabbing the door knob and twisting it, finding her assumption right, she narrowed her eyes; her door was locked. Growling under her breath, cursing her brother in the process, she looked towards her window and smiled.
Going over to the white laced baby crib, that was in the center of the large room where Alex slept, Serena peaked her head inside the crib to make sure the baby was sleeping. He was lying on his back, small hands bawled up into small fists beside his head, chest rising and falling slowly. She smiled, kissing him on his cool forehead, before running over to her window.
Opening it up, a cool breeze brushing against her hot skin. She jumped out of the window, gracefully landing on the ground. Looking around, she saw many other werewolves, along with Heero, running off into the woods, leading out towards the city. She waited a few minutes, not wanting to be caught. Deciding that it was safe to go, she transformed herself into her wolf form.
Taking off full in speed into the night, the moonlight her only source of light. Dodging low branches and jumping over falling logs, she could hear the shouts and screams of the citizens of the city, as well as the howls of the werewolves. Sliding to an halt, remembering the day that Alex died. She stood in this very spot, and had spotted his body several yards away. His body battered and destroyed, all the blood, tears of anger rolled down her face, her golden eyes darkening with rage.
The Destroyers were at it again, terrorizing, something they're very good at. A low growl escaped her mouth, watching…watching lives being taken away so violently. Taking off, she attacked with all her might, swiping, biting, tearing; the tears rolling down her cheeks. She was covered in blood, blood that was mixed with her own and others. She panted, feeling the rush, the adrenaline pumping through her veins.
Eyeing her next prey, she crept up behind another werewolf, raising her paw up high, razor sharp claws out stretched. She was ready to swipe down, when Relena's words entered her mind.
'Look inside your heart, deep down inside, you know it's wrong, no matter how good it feels to spill another's blood.'
Serena's paws slowly fell to the ground, as the other werewolf turned around. She was deeply surprised to see that the werewolf was a mere child, eyes wide with fear. Eyes moving around widely, wanting to find somewhere to hide. She noticed that the young werewolf was trembling, tears welling up in his horrified filled eyes. Her heart cracked, imaging this person being her son, out in the dangers of battle; Cold, tired, scared…
She was suddenly thrown to the ground, four scratch marks on her left cheek. She looked up in anger and surprise to see Wufei standing in front of the young werewolf, with another werewolf to his side, who she recognized as Duo; grayish-gold eyes, dark brown fur with gold streaks. Wufei turned to the young werewolf and growled, making him scamper off, he then turned back to Serena, crouching down low, baring his fangs, growling.
She growled back and took notice that Duo was staring upon her, doing nothing. She tried to stand, but fell back to the ground, howling in pain, something was wrong with her leg. Fear weld up in her eyes as Wufei slowly made his way towards her, a sinister smirk upon his wolfish lips.
She attempted to stand again, but to no avail. She whimpered pitifully, unable to protect herself. She looked at Duo, who kept his gaze upon her, seeing something that was shocking. Pain, regret…longing for forgiveness; all present in his eyes. She turned back to Wufei, who raised a paw, preparing for an attack, that is, Heero stepped in between, eyes glowing a piercing gold.
Wufei dropped his paw, a wolfish grin upon his lips. He looked to Serena, eyes flashing, looking upon her smugly. He looked at Heero, hatred burning in his eyes, then turning to his colleagues, howling, signaling to retreat. They all ran off down the street, heading back to their territory.
Though, Duo stayed their a few lingering moment, eyes on Serena. That is, until he heard the angered growl of Heero, which caused Duo to crouch down and snarl at him, ears pointed back, before he too took off after his group. Heero retransformed, colbat blue eyes filled with anger, "You're in for it,"
