Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Haunted Angel ❯ Haunted Angel ( Chapter 1 )
Angel Forever
She sat placed in his lap. One of his hands on the back of her head and the other around her waist, and rocked gently not to disturb her. Relena fell asleep again and Heero put her down. He got an old piece of cloth and ripped it then tied it around her ankle to help heal the wound. He then picked her back up and layed her under the covers. He just stood there for a second starring at her. " You're my angel…my angel forever." He whispered in her ear. Then left quietly. Once he was gone Relena sat tears threating to spill over the edge. Relena couldn't hold back the tears any longer and just cried out of happiness, onto her pillow soaking it, to the bone.
"Wow Relena, you didn't tell me just how big this house was!!" Hilde said looking in awe at the huge house that loomed over them. "Well I never met this aunt, she's a peacecraft, and only milliardo knows her. So I just couldn't tell ya." Relena said. " Duo, if you touch me one more time I sware I will kill you, right now!!!" Heero yelled at his `Long Time Friend.' "DUO! HEERO!! Stop fighting this instant!" Sally yelled at the two young men in frustration. "Sorry Sall." Duo said looking down, like child getting in trouble. Heero growled some more then turned and looked out the window. "We're here!" Hilde said parking the van in front of the old house. " Everyone out!" She commanded. " Yes sir!" Duo saluted his girlfriend. "What did you call me, private?" Hilde said between clenched teeth. " I mean ma'am." He corrected himself quickly, smiling nervously. Every had then filed out of the car, more like all fell out, but what's the diff? They all walked up the house down the gloomy pathway. "Man this place gives me the creeps." Duo said looking around amazed but yet a little terrified. Relena rang the doorbell and a slightly middle aged lady answered the door. "Aunt Lunette?" Relena said with a questioning look on her face. "Little Relena! Oh I'm so glad to see you! The last time I saw you, you were just a tiny baby!" She the life out of Relena almost then looked behind her. " I see you brought SOME friends like you said you would." She said looking over their faces. " Let me introduce you to them, this is Quatre Winner, Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Wufei Chang, Trowa Barton, Sally Po, Hilde B. Cathrine Bloom, and Dorthy Catalinea." Relena said real quickly. " Glad to meet you all, Please come in." She moved aside and let them ALL in. "Would you like to meet the servants?" Lunette said smiling. " Yes please." Relena said. Lunette called them and they lined up in front of everyone in order, from tallest to shortest. " Okay this is Jonathan the butler. Merian and azalea, the maids, and Darien the cook." She said in the order they were in. "Glad to meet you all" They all bowed and got back to work. " Would you like to see your rooms now, or later?" Lunette said smiling while turning on her heel, to face them. "Yes thank you." Relena nodded her head, a little. "Follow me then." She turned and started to walk up the spiral stairs. The gang followed and stayed together. Except for Relena, who stayed behind when she felt a cold chill run back and through her spine. She got dizzy and finally passed out. "These will be your rooms, ladies and gentlemen. Just pick any one you like and meet me downstairs in two hours. Then she disappeared around the corner, but not downstairs. "Come on Duo let's get this room!" she said dragging him in a room, that was a good size, and the door shut quietly. "I'll get this room." Dorthy said getting the room next to Hilde and Duo. "Come on Trowa we can get this room." Cathrine said her step. Brother in to the room next Dorthy. "I guess I'll get this one." Quatre said getting the one next to Trowa and Cat. "Come on Wufei we'll get this room." Sally said getting the one next to Quatre. Heero was the only one left, but Relena was still missing. ` I'm sure I didn't see her get a room.' Heero started looking around and finally gave up on her being upstairs so he looked downstairs. "Relena!" he said under his breath. Then there was a faint squeaking noise and one of the armors was falling down. He went running tiring to save her and just barely got her, but the blade still cut her ankle. And badly. Since most of the bedrooms were sound proof no one came out. Heero was glad for that, because if any one saw him holding her like this he would have to kill them. He loved Relena but never let it show, to no one at all. He picked her up, so that her head was on his shoulder, her arms and legs limp. " Don't worry Lena I'll take care of you…forever.' Heero thought to himself. But looked at her a bit.
Half way up to her room Relena woke up, ` Why am I moving?' She thought to herself. She turned her head with her eyes cracked open just a bit, `HEERO!!! He's really caring me. Am I dreaming, because if I am I NEVER want to wake up.' Relena pretended to stir in her sleep and lightly wrapped her arms around his neck. `He has such soft skin, and his hair smells REALLY good to.' Relena kept talking mentally to herself until they got to her room. He picked a room and gently opened the door holding Relena with one arm. He walked in and quietly shut the door, tiring not to disturb her. `Man he's gonna let go soon, I don't want this feeling to end.' Relena opened her eyes a bit more to her surprise Heero sat on the bed still holding her. With one hand behind her head and the other around her waist he rocked slowly back a forth. Right before Relena fell asleep he stopped and put her down. He got a piece of clothing and ripped it, ting it around her ankle. He picked her back up and pulled the covers back, placing her gently on the bed, covering her fragile body with the blanket. He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Relena Peacecraft you're my angel…and my angel forever." And then lightly kissed her on her cheek. Waking her of her peaceful slumber. "Heero? What are you doing in my room?" Relena had caught him before he left. He was by the dresser.
"Nothing. Just rest now and I'll come and get you in two hours." Then he disappeared out the door. `Why in two hours?' Relena thought. `Oh well it least he's coming back.' Then she fell back into a peaceful slumber, dreaming of the man she loved, with all her heart.
Two hours later…
`He'll be here any minute now, might as well get up.' Relena thought as sat up and threw back the covers. She didn't even notice the Green banged tied around her ankle. "OOOWWW!!!" Relena yelped in pain. " What's wrong with my ankle?" She looked down at it and gasped. `That's part of Heero's shirt!' She said to herself. She got back on the bed and looked at it more closely. "Don't bother messing with it, it will only make it hurt worse." Heero said entering the room, with out Relena even knowing. She looked up startled. " Heero, don't scare me like that!" Relena said. "Hn."
"Well hello to you to Heeroooo!" He had gone over and picked her up. "Heero put me down I can walk just fine!" Relena pounded on his hardback. He didn't put her down. " Well at least carry me like a gentlemen." He put her in a near by chair and turned around. "Hop on." He said a flat voice. Relena hopped on embracing her arms around his neck, and resting her head on his hard shoulder. "Thank you Heero." She mumbled in his ear, slightly. They walked out and went downstairs, there they found everyone, and they all starred, and some gawked. "I'm helping her get around." Heero said giving everyone a death glare. " I hurt my ankle badly, so I can't walk, he's just helping." Relena said in a soft voice raising her head, to meet the eyes of the others. "Well." Lunette said. "Shall we go to the library so Relena can rest?" Everyone nodded. "Follow me then." She turned and went through many halls then came to a large door. She pushed on it and it opened. "Welcome to the library, isn't it beautiful?" Lunette said, smiling. " It is very beautiful miss peacecraft." Dorthy said walking up next to Quatre and lightly squeezing his hand. It startled him and he blushed when he realized whom it was. "Please call me Lunette, Dorthy." They all walked in and picked a seat.
Heero put Relena down on the couch and went to lean against the rock of the huge fireplace. Trowa was next to him on the other side, Cathrine sitting on the floor next to him, Dorthy at Relena's feet, Hilde sat in Duo's lap who was sitting on one of the chairs, Sally looked at some of the books, Wufei was leaning on the door frame, and Quatre was sitting in another chair, by Lunette. " Why did you want us to meet you here?" Cathrine said moving to sit on the rug. "To warn you." She said looking around. "Warn us of what?" Heero said in his plain, deep voice.
"That, young man, there are restless spirits living in this house." Lunette looked over at Cathrine. "Lift up the rug from the right side and see what's underneath." Cathrine gulped and got off the rug. She lifted it and gasped, "Is that b-blood?" She said starting to get a little bit edgy. "Yes it is. It is a nasty reminder of this houses history and what happened that gloomy evening night. A bolt of lighting flashed and the lights went out. "Oh well there go the lights, again." Lunette said. "Does this happen often?" Sally asked. "Afraid so, every time it rains or we have some kind of storm, this happens." She said lighting a near by candle. "That's much better. Now would you like to hear what happened on that night, in this very house?" She said in a just plain creepy voice. They nodded and leaned in closer, minus a few people.
"Okay let me start from the beginning.
It all happened on a night just like this one, when the owners daughter Varaette, was murdered in her sleep. While this was going on her feaince' was in the library talking to father-in-law, When she screamed bloody murder. Both shocked they dropped what they were doing and ran upstairs. There they found the brother of the feaince' pulling the knife out of the poor girls body, and stabbing her over and over. Till he could take it anymore and grabbed the knife from the man's hand and killed him, he also stabbed him over and over until he was covered in the man's blood. Then with tears in his eyes he got up and picked up his dead wife. He carried her downstairs and placed her where that blood on the floor was, he took one last look at her then with the same knife that killed her and the brother he killed himself for he could not live a life without her. Today they still haut this house, together." Then the candle went out and some girls screamed, hugging the life out of their boyfriends. "Sorry if I'll scared ya'll." She lit the candle again. "Is that whole story true?" Cathrine said, hugging Trowa's leg, very tight. "Yes, how could I make that up?" Lunette said. " Good question." She said back "Why couldn't you get rid of the blood?" Relena asked looking at her aunt. "Well because every time we clean it up, or lighten it, it just keeps coming back, so we put that rug over it." She said standing. "I now suggest that we get a good nights sleep, there's a box of candles by the door to the library. Goodnight." She then walked out and vanished into the darkness. Everyone got a candle and left. Minus Heero and Relena. "Come on…Heero let's…get to…bed." Relena said limping towards him in total darkness. She didn't hear anything and looked around frantically, even when her eyes adjusted she still couldn't see anything. When she felt a pair of arms pick her up she almost screamed, but calmed down when she recognized the person carry her. "Heero you scared me!" She said putting her hand over her heart. He didn't say anything, but when they reached the door, he opened it and bent down to get a candle. Which he handed to Relena, since he couldn't very well hold a candle while carry Relena. She lit it and led them up the stairs by candlelight. When they reached the top they noticed that something was weird about the hall they were about to go down. Heero, being the perfect solider just kept going, until Relena felt her body being lifted from Heero's grasp, and called his name. "Heero, what's going on, why am I floating?" She said looking down even though she couldn't see anything. "What? I still feel you, in my arms." He said with a questioning look. Relena did feel her body floating up in the air very slowly. To anker herself she wrapped her arms around Heero's neck only to find that no one was there. "Heero help!" she said calling into the darkness. "Relena I'm right here, calm down!" He said then he noticed that he wasn't holding Relena's body he was holding someone else's boding he dropped it and looked down only to find that it was a body of a young girl, she was bloody and her clothes were torn and she had a deep gash in her chest. Then she disappered nothing left but the rug that lay on the ground in front of him.
"Heero? Where are you?" Relena called again. " I'm right here just keep talking." You see the candle when they reached the top of the stairs, and now he had to find by voice. " Please Heero, Find me before this thing kills me!" She yelled, He had stopped to listen and was sure that she was backed into a corner.
"Thing what kind of thing Relena?" He asked tiring to HELP her. " I don't know but it's trying to kill me! Please HURRY!!!" When he finally found her, she had cut's and scraps all over her body, she was almost knocked out. "Relena, can you hear me?" He whispered loud enough for her hear, maybe. She didn't answer so he picked her up, very carefully, and ran to her room.
He pretty much busted the door down, trying to get in waking everyone from his or her slumber. In a few minutes everyone was outside the door and tiring to get past the broken door that littered the floor.
