Never Again! by Kuno-baby

Chapter 2

Heero looked over the crime scene pictures again and again and still came up with nothing. Not one damn fingerprint or even a spec of dust was left behind. He was obsessed with finding out what happened to Relena. Who took her? It was all he could think about. A whole year had past and she could be dead in her grave for all he knew. That one horrible moment had changed his life and the lives of their friends in an instant. He'd joined the Preventers investigation once news broke about her disappearance. He had to find her dead or alive. Noin called it closure but he called that nonsense crap. Someone had to pay for hurting her and taking her away from him.

*************

He was still mad at her and so he wouldn't feed her again unless she groveled. It was going on six days since Relena had eaten. Except for one water bottle he'd left her, that was her only nourishment. The cheese cake he'd thrown on the floor still remained, but she'd rather eat dirt than try it. The ants were already making a meal of it anyway. But as much as she hated the idea of apologizing to the little freak, she needed to get back on his good side so he'd let his guard down again.

"David! DAVID!" Relena screamed, as she lay on her dirty mattress. She concentrated hard, squinting her eyes to make it look like tears and waited for his arrival.

It only took him a few minutes to unlock the door. Coming in he saw the pathetic figure of Relena laying on her bed, crying and grasping her stomach. Cautious but concerned, David walked at close as possible to her.

"What's wrong, Relena?" David asked.

"I'm sick. I need food, please. I-I'm so hungry." Relena cried, hunching over and bringing her knees up against her chest in a fetal position.

"You better not be playing Relena." Davis scolded as he tentatively reached out to touch her shoulder.

"Please, I'm so hungry. I'll be good. I promise." Sobbing, Relena started rocking herself back and forth.

Really scared now for her health, David kneeled down on the mattress and gently took her in his arms. "I get your food right away, Relena. Don't cry, it'll be alright."

Relena resisted the urge the make her move. As much as she'd love the opportunity to maim him, the time wasn't right. She wasn't completely faking. She was starved and sick, but not physically strong enough to kill him yet. Drugged food or not, she needed to eat. She just have to take her chances.

Nodding pitifully for David, he kissed her on the forehead and got up to bring her dinner. Locking the door behind him, David rushed to help his love. Once gone, Relena stopped her act and sneered silently.

You've got one week bastard. You better make the most of it!

*****************

This was heaven. A nice warm bath without that damn chain attached. Relena sighed as she laid her head at the edge of the tub. Her goody too shoes act was working well. When she played like a good little girl, he rewarded her. Nice scented baths, plenty of food and some times he even took off the ankle chains. David had been real sweet to her the past few days, but she knew the other shoe could drop at any moment. He was never stable or predictable with his emotions.

Remembering the last time he'd caught her naked and bathing, she quickly washed. Standing up, she grabbed the fresh towel she'd left by the tub and stepped out. Suddenly she heard he's heavy breathing behind her. The hairs on her neck rose as she felt his eyes hungrily go over her body.

"David, what are you doing here?" Relena asked. Cursing him in her mind, she saw the extreme lust in his gaze and knew the damn shoe had already dropped. He was already naked. He'd been waiting for the right moment to strike and she'd gotten careless. She wrapped the towel around her body and stepped away from him.

He didn't say anything as he continued to stare. Trying for the upper hand, Relena scrambled around the tub to put distance between them.

"I'd like some privacy please." she said.

"You are so beautiful Relena. But then you know that. You're trying to drive me crazy, aren't you? You've missed me like I miss you." David smiled, walking around the other side to head Relena off.

I want you all right. Want you dead! Damnit, I don't have a weapon on me!

Out of no where he sprang into action, clumsily jumping over the tub to grab Relena about the waist. Tackling her to the floor, he slammed down on top of her. Struggling violently, Relena tried to reason with him.

"David, you said you wouldn't hurt me anymore."

"I don't want to hurt you, Lena. I love you. You're the one who always makes it difficult for me. Stop fighting me!" David hissed, grabbing at her arms and pushing the towel away from her body.

She slipped on hand free and struck him as hard as she could on the jaw. He grunted more in surprise than in pain. He clasped her wrists in one hand over her head and caressed her face with his other hand. He forced her lips to part and thrust his tongue into her mouth, knowing he was taking her against her will. Relena turned her head to the side in disgust.

"The only time a woman would sleep with you is by force, pig!" Relena screamed in his face.

"Bitch!" He reared up, pulling her thighs apart, and went into her. He did not look at her as he ignored her cries of rage and pain. He grunted on top of her and Relena felt bile rise up in her throat as he once again violated her. Her body jerked on the floor as he rammed into her painfully and cruelly. Taking out his anger on her. Thankfully he finished quickly. He climaxed, then jerked out of her as if she were a two bit whore.

Relena refused to cry; she was beyond tears. Slowly, carefully she drew her knees up and buried her face in her arms. She felt used, degraded, angry. He didn't even deserve a quick death. He would pay. She'd make sure of it and soon.

"You shouldn't be mean to me Relena. I own you. You're mine. Don't forget it. Now get dressed and go to bed." David commanded down at her.

Relena remained on the floor until he left the room. Feeling tears coming on she willed them away. She didn't have time for hysterics. Slowly getting up from the cold floor, she winced in pain.

Bastard!

Walking over to her bed, she kneeled digging underneath the hidden compartment she'd put there. She pulled out a broken piece of pipe no bigger than her hand. It was sharpened into a point like a knife. It had taken forever to do, but it was more than ready to be used.

****************

Wisely David stayed away the next day. Relena suffered a day without food, but one day wouldn't kill her. She needed the day to plan. After a year in his company, she knew his routine. He'd visit her, talk for a bit, sometimes bring food and then leave locking the door with a key he carried in his pocket. She'd get that key today or die trying.

When it was time to bring her the meal for the day, David wearily entered the room. She was lying back to him, not moving or making a sound. The television blared in the background.

"I brought you chicken and mashed potatoes, Lena. And some cake. How does that sound?" he said, moving slowly toward her.

Nothing. Relena said nothing. David began to get worried, but was reluctant to come near since he'd been too angry with her to rechain her back.

"Stop it right now, Relena. I'm not putting up with your silent treatment and I know you're not sleep. Damnit, say something!"

Davis stood there with the tray of food for a few minutes before it dawned on him she didn't appear to be breathing. "Relena, stop playing around."

Not getting any answer, David flung the food aside and rushed to her side. Cautiously turning her over her tensed up for an attack. But nothing happened. Her eyes were closed and she didn't seem to be breathing. "Oh, God. Relena, don't be dead!"

He hugged her close to his chest and rocked her back and forth, sobbing loudly. David suddenly jerked, his eyes widening in shock and pain. He gasped for breath as Relena's hand came up again to stab him in the throat. Blood poured out of the wounds in a disgusting bloody gush. He jerked away from her, clutching at his throat, but he was losing too much blood too fast and he weakly slumped to the side on the mattress.

"R-Rele-" David gurgled as blood spilled out of his mouth and his eyes fell into the back of his head. Relena full of intense rage kept stabbing and stabbing and stabbing. Blood spurted everywhere. Covering the walls, soaking completely through her clothing. She just kept stabbing. The sounds of tearing flesh were drowned out by the loud television. The pipe hit bone and Relena closed her eyes briefly at the horror of the act.

Die you bastard! Die! Die! Die! Burn in hell!!!!

Once his body stopped twitching, Relena slumped to the ground and cried. Not out of remorse but more for what she had been forced to do and what she had become.

******************

Morbid though it was, Relena stared down at her captors body she didn't know how long. It was like a bloody scene out of a horror movie. She was covered with his blood. Hell, she was casually sitting in a pool of it. She's received minor cuts herself from the ferocity of her attacks. Her hands were cut to bits but her blood now mingled with his, so it was hard to tell how bad she was injured. She'd killed a man. The pipe was still logged in his throat. As brutal as the attack was she felt nothing. Shouldn't she feel some kind of remorse? No. No regrets, nothing. Relena Peacecraft/ Darlain was a murderer and she was only sorry she'd taken so long to do it.

Wiping her bloody hands on a corner of the mattress, Relena got up and headed for the door. She used the key she'd taken out of his pocket to unlock the door. She breathed a sigh of relief as it unlocked. FREEDOM!

Not looking back she ran down a long hallway, her bloody foot prints leaving a trail behind her. David's home was nothing but a run down shack. The furniture was covered in dust and the room was in disarray. Papers and unwashed dishes were scattered all about. Relena wildly opened door after door trying to get out. She felt a wave of hysterics wash over her in her panic. Finally finding the front door, she ran out of the house. Looking around she knew she was in the middle of the woods. In desperation Relena screamed as loudly as she could, hoping, praying someone would hear her and come to her aid.

******************

Commander Une sighed as she went over the list of new applicants for training. They were all freshed faced kids and none of them had a bit of experience. Well, one good thing about it was knowing the evil joy she got out of sending recruits Wufei's way. Wufei always had a colorful vocabulary when it came to training in his words, imbecilic would be fighters.

Heero put down his list of selected candidates, knowing he'd be training some of them himself. Some looked promising but he wouldn't get his hopes up. There weren't too many fighters nowadays that were half as experienced as he and the other ex-Gundam pilots were.

Une was about to hand Heero her list when her vid-phone rang. Picking it up, she was stunned to see the teary eyed face of Noin on the other end.

"Noin what's wrong" Une asked her friend.

"S-She's alive. Oh, my God! Relena's alive!!" Noin screamed happily, wiping her face.

Heero jumped out of his seat to walk behind the desk Une was sitting. He saw Noin's tearful expression and his heart beat sped up.

"What? Where? Is she-" Une questioned in shock.

"Get to Mariner's hospital. The hospital called us and they showed us the picture of a girl claiming to be Relena. It is! We're on our way now. Meet you there." Noin exclaimed.

The line went dead on the other end and Une looked up from the screen to see Heero already striding out of the room. She quickly jumped up after him. Pulling out her cell phone she started making calls.

******************

"What the hell are you telling me? That's my sister in there." Milliardo yelled at the doctor. Noin grabbed his arm to hold him back from attacking the doctor.

Two police guarded the hospital door, baring Milliardo and the others from entering the room to see Relena.

"Mr. Peacecraft, I'm sorry. We have to hold her in the psychiatric ward by police request. She's killed a man." Doctor Barbera said.

"The bastard deserved to die after what he did to her." Milliardo snapped. He'd finally gotten his baby sister back and they wouldn't let him near her.

"She stabbed him 14 times in the throat. She almost decapitated him. She's very emotionally unstable now." the doctor said.

"You'll let him in. The Preventers are now in control of this case." Une said, coming into the room with Heero hot on her heels.

"But I have my-"

"I said this is now a case for the Preventers. The local police have been taken off the case. You can all check with your station, but you're all dismissed." Une said to the guards. They nodded and stepped aside, while the doctor stuttered angrily.

Opening the door, the four cautiously entered the room. Relena laid up in the bed staring up at the ceiling. She'd been strapped down to the bed in restraints. It had been a year since they'd seen her and she'd undergone many changes. Her hair, long when they last saw, was now spilling over the side of the bed reaching the floor. She was bone thin. Milliardo winced seeing how skinny she had become. But it was her eyes that hurt the most to look at. They were cold and dead inside. She turned and looked clean through them.

"Relena. You know who I am don't you?" Milliardo asked, coming to the side of the bed.

"You're my brother of course. It hasn't been that long." Relena said, her eyes going from face to face to finally stop at Heero's.

"Oh, God Relena. We never gave up hope. Thank goodness you're okay." Noin said.

That was debateable, but Relena kept that to herself. She was relieved to see them, but felt detached from the conversation. They hadn't forgot her...or maybe they just said that to make it seem like they cared. She didn't know anymore.

"What happened Relena?" Une asked.

"I killed a man." Relena bluntly replied, turning her head back to stare at the ceiling.

The others looked worriedly at one another, while Heero clenched his fist. He recognized her behavior because he'd experienced it himself. She was lost and confused...and potentially dangerous.

"What did that bastard do to you?" Milliardo asked, afraid of her answer.

"He got what he deserved." Relena replied, still refusing to face them.

Doctor Barbera pushed them aside from Relena's bed. He looked down at her as she continued to not make eye contact. "Relena, you've been through a traumatic experience. I don't think you've really come to terms with what's happened. Relena, you killed a man. Don't you feel any remorse at all?"

"Yes, I do."

He nodded in understanding until she turned and smirked at him.

"I wish I had done it sooner and it lasted longer. He died to quickly on me."

Okay, that's that chapter. Before you ask, Relena's not going to become a killing machine. She just has issues now to confront. Big issues! Hope you all liked it..and if you didn't. Eh, I don't care! Bye!
