Chapter Two
Wishing on Doves Tears
Flutter wings of white feathers spread about, gliding within the wind. Soundless a dove flies throughout the hidden sky of darkness, save the stars that drove it to it's place.
A mother lays weeping in strong arms. A wooden floor stained with tears covered in chrism blood. A warrior meet death and the twisted game was over.
A single feather of white silk has fallen, a dove has cried.
Blood is spelt before virgin eyes, another is gone. A young girl cries goes unheard, save the heaven's sky. Stumbling legs run more. Alone has taken another one in, to wordier around like the lost child she is. A mother and father show their love in the most unselfish way as the war begins again and death comes to stick again.
Another crystal ball has been shed, a feather of once wholeness is split into two. The dove has cried again.
A wish is made in the mist of this, "please, ...I wont to go where mommy and papa went" the girl cries as a mother wishes of the same value in life..."bring back my musume, my warrior.."
Two pieces of whiteness fall about, separating into the night. Fading as the winds carry them into the arms of the wishers who's wishes echoed about into the night with soft voices that only a dove could sing to.
A tiny hand of a girl grasp the half messing feather as it flutters about her, she looks at it in her hand. No longer white, but red. Red of the blood of her parents.
A topless feather fell into a small poodle of blood that covered a cloth, a piece of cloth of the fallen warrior. Tears splatter on top before a hand clutches the rag again sealing the feather with it's grasp. A mother unfolds her hand to see a feather of brightness, yet covered in the blood of her musume.
"It has been done." a voice calls out in a place unknown to the living as time stoped.
***********************
Two bodies float above as a two white bubble engulfs them both bringing them together. A child, a teenager. Both bodies curled up as the white bubble becomes one. Their bodies unfold standing face to face they step forward, their bodies becoming one. A warrior is reborn, a girl no longer alone nor lost. What what was once living, is now holding the hands of a mother and father. What what was once dead, is now breathing among the living.
"A change has been, time has been altered, lives have been changed. It has been written, and shall remain. The warrior shall be reborn into a different dimensions, bringing her to the age that she is now. A war I can't stop, nor prevent. It has come again, and now she must go to stop it before it repeats it's self again." the same voice called out loud.
*****************************
Two months before the war; August 15th.
"Lilly, Lilly...hello, are you listening to me?" a female voice whined at a girl who poured a blue liquid into a slim tube.
"Hm, oh sorry...what where you saying Ivy?" the black hair girl asked laying the long skinny glass tube back down with a firm but gentle grip so not to brake it. "I was talking about the new guy, he's so mysterious looking and doesn't really talk to anyone. I saw him in the office this morning. Have you heard anything about him?" her redheaded friend asked.
"No, I haven't even seen him." Lilly said still holding onto the tube. "Well look now, here he comes. I guess he's going to be in our class." Ivy said pointing to him.
Lilly could only look at him, something about him was attracting her to him. Not his looks, more like force. A magnet pulling her to him, making her eyes look into his. Than it was gone.
"Class, I would like you to meet our new student. Herro Yuo." the chemistry teacher announced as the class all turned to look at the new person.
His name came out all so slow until it was said, Lilly felt as if something was ripping her head apart like a torturing pain, but she couldn't scream or move her legs. Her hand clutched tightly around the tube, cracking it as the liquid seeks through and onto her hand.
Her dream, his image, his death.
Suddenly it was gone and all she could feel was the glass shattering into her smooth skin, "Ah, shit!" she said yanking her hand away seeing blood drip out with shiny pieces sticking out of her hand through the plastic clear glove as the liquid burnt her open cuts. The last thing she saw was Ivy's face before the pain came back of shooting and blood shed images in her head. She feel to the ground curling into a ball. So many things where going through her head, so many images and sounds like she had never heard before.
Everyone had become silent at her motion, all those eyes where staring at her. "Somebody get the school nurse now!" Ivy yelled out while rushing to the other side of the lab table to gather her dearest friend into her arms.
"Here, give her to me so I can hold her down and just do what I say." a rough voice said as the figure bent down before the two girls. Ivy just nodded.
*******************************
Two days later, August 17th.
A figure roughly moved about between sheets of silk and cotton as a hand clutched the pillow ends. Wetness covering the underside of both eyes.....
"Coming " Ivy yelled as her hands pushed down one more time on the cloth, moving around the ice cubes in the chilled water that filled a bowl. Ivy walked up to the door caring the wet cloth in her hands as she peeped through the eye whole.
She quickly unlocked the door. "Hey Herro, didn't.." Ivy said as a scream caught her breath. "Lilly!" was all but she said as Herro said her name in sync. Ivy ran down the small hallway into her friends room.
"No! Herro, you stupid fool....Zechs I'm taking you to hell with me!..." Lilly said as her body shoot up and her eyes opened with a flash. "No, not again." she whispered softly as if breathing the words out like a breath.
"Lilly, what happened?" Ivy asked running to her as she flung herself on the bed wrapping her arms around her. The two close friends just held each other as Ivy rubbed her back.
Herro just stood there look at the two,"Who is this girl, why did she say my name, and how does she know Zechs? She must be hiding something, and doing a damn good job." he thought to himself.
"What's he doing here?" Lilly asked as she released her hug on her friends as saw the young man out of the corner of her eye standing at the door frame.
"Well he came in, just as you screamed out." Ivy said getting up off the bed. "So what did you want Herro?" she asked moving up next to him. "If you don't mind, I would like to talk to your friend alone." he said in a mellow voice with a rough edge.
"Fine, but please.." "Don't worry, I want be." he said before she could even finish her sentence. "Ivy go, I'm fine now. Thank you." Lilly said smiling sweetly at her friend.
"Ok, why are you here Herro?" she asked still sitting up in the bed. "You, and you alone. Early I thought I heard you say something only a few people would know, and now that I just heard what you said. My thoughts are confirmed, I was right. So who are you, really ?" he asked narrowing his eyes at her.
"I don't know what your talking about, my name is Lilly Pi. Why are you really here?" she asked getting aggravated.
"No it's not, I saw on your side. It says Lilly Wufei Chang, written in a Chinese language that only one tribe used, and that tribe no longer exist. So now, are you going to talk." he asked moving in closer.
"My tattoo, I've always had that. I never knew what it said, no one knew. They only gathered the first part Lilly, so when I was adopted by Ivy's parents I had the name Lilly and took their last name. How do you know what it says if the tribe is dead?" she said getting cocky with him now.
"Only one person lives now who knows it, I simple drew it out and showed it to him. Though that still doesn't explain why you know Zechs, or about zero system two? Much less why you just said my name in your ranting while dreaming. Or why you have his name on your side." he said standing right next to the bed as he looked into her eyes.
"Huh, I don't know of any one name Wufei Change. If you don't mind, I have to get some work done. So the conversation is over on what I see in my dreams." Lilly said getting out of the bed and pushing past him as she walked to the door.
"Wait, what do you mean in your dreams, you have never fought before?" Herro asked. Lilly just looked at him with sadden eyes. "No, but when I dream it feels so real, as if it was my past. I feel as if I can fly any of the mobile doll in my dreams, or.. Gundam."...."Gundam..." she said as his word intertwined with hers both locking eyes with one another. "So please why do I feel so sad right now, why do I sit here and cry each night over lives I have never taken yet I feel I have? My hands are clean, though my heart tells me their covered in blood. " she asked looking at them.
"None of this makes sense, how do I know your not screwing with my mind." he said suddenly with a tone of anger.
"What! You don't know me. You don't know what I have been through! Let me tell you something Mister Herro You, I have had nightmares of blood shed battles and saw faces I have never saw before for the past two months." she said raising her voice and tone with every word coming out between those red lips.
"Every night it's like turning the page to read the next chapter. Another day in a life I have never lived. I even cried myself sleepless sometimes at night over you, a man I never knew! Yet I love in those nightmares. Do you know what it's like to see what I see, don't you see I'm scared shitless out of my mind! " Lilly yelled with tears coming down her face as she feel to her knees now.
"Huh, well do you? Come on, say something damn it!" Lilly demanded lifting her head up at him. "I shouldn't have to answer you, my life is a battle. It's all I know how to do, a life of war is the only one I've none. So don't tell me I don't know." Herro said sternly
Ivy came running back to Lilly's room when she heard her yell out at him, Ivy stopped at the door to see Lilly on her knees with tears streaming down her face. "You ...what have you done to her!" Ivy yelled at Herro as she knelt next to Lilly.
"I have done nothing, yet." he said and with that he walked out the room.
