Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Death Becomes Her ❯ Relena's Fate ( Chapter 7 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Relena finished cleaning herself off in the lavish bathroom and dressed in the only things that were offered to her: traditional black robes that wore the fashion of the late medieval period. Despite the delicate texture and the extrinsic design of the fabric, she felt uncomfortable wearing something that didn't belong to her in that place. She was lead to the main hall by the two servants. Soren looked extremely agitated by something and as for Daenon, Relena couldn't really decipher what he was thinking.

"These two individuals are so odd, yet I pity them." Relena thought as she walked silently through several massive halls. "Are they in this desolated place out of their own will?"

Finally, they reached the hall and Daemonicus was already waiting patiently for her on his throne. As he sensed her presence, he walked towards her and offered his arm. He couldn't stop gazing at her elegance. The robe was lined with gold strands and the clothing trailed firmly along her body to reveal the curves that could astound any man. Her hair was neatly tied back into an extravagant design and miniature roses tainted with the color black, were furnished on her hair to enhance her features. Two strands of curls were left hanging, to demonstrate her royal façade. She was more than beautiful.

"Ah Relena, you look as sumptuous as ever. Shall we attend the party?" He asked with a calm and tranquil voice.

"Party? I don't have any intention to go anywhere unless I know why I was brought here." Relena replied sternly.

"Do you really want to know?" He asked as he started circling around her.

"Yes"

"Do you hunger for the truth?"

"Yes, of course I do."

"Do you crave for the answers?"

"YES… please" Relena replied, with each response growing louder than the last.

"Very well." Daemonicus answered. He stood right in front of her and stared into her sapphire eyes. "But you might not like what you hear." With that, she revealed an irritated expression.

"Remember back on earth, when you were doubting your existence?" he began.

"Yes, but what does that have to …."

"I do recall you saying 'my life has no meaning ….' " he interrupted her while flaring his arms into the air as how she had done back on Earth.

"How did you …"

"Know?? Well Relena, I wouldn't be a demon if I didn't have access to such interesting moments in humans' lives, especially yours. As a matter of fact, I have grown quite fond of you."

She became speechless from what she heard. The foreign minister couldn't believe that someone could have overheard her most intimate thoughts. Through their conversation, she suddenly felt overwhelmingly tense. She didn't like where this was taking her.

"I have chosen you to remain here in my world. Don't you see? I have released you from all that hurt and pain that you've had to endure on Earth. Unfortunately, I couldn't take your life as you have requested but I did the next best thing. I brought you here." He explained.

"You don't know what I want, what I desire to achieve in my life. We cannot live our lives to the fullest without experiencing the emotions of both happiness and sorrow. Of course, you wouldn't understand that." Relena said as she turned away from him.

"I sense such loneliness in you Relena. When I read your thoughts, I envision this boy, no, a man whom you've grown to love."

"Stop it" Relena exclaimed. "I don't want to hear anymore." She turned away from him once again, hoping that she could end the conversation.

He could see that the topic was disturbing her, yet he continued to suffocate the woman with past memories. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Heero Yuy."

Relena gasped and held her hand to her chest, hoping that her heart wouldn't escape from her body. She turned to face him once again. "I… I don't know what you're talking about." She admitted.

"Oh, don't you?" he chuckled, "Well my dear, I am not concerned whether you believe me or not. You have a simple task really, to remain here forever." The last word echoed through every crack of the room, which forced Relena to shudder. Then something struck her….

"Wait, I thought I was not forced to stay…" she exclaimed. There was obvious evidence of fear lingering in her voice as she spoke.

"Did I say that? Well I do apologize. I have obviously given you false information for you will never be able to return even if you so desired to. Unfortunately, it was a one way trip." He replied with an evil grin.
