A/N: I'm not really that good in making summaries, but anyway, read ahead! And don't forget to review pleasE! Need to know what you think.. (Athrun will be OOC here);p
Princess
A pair of striking amber eyes glared at the back of her kidnapper, or rather the mastermind of the kidnapping, in the dark. Snatched away from your own home…Would you believe that? This was just too embarassing. Cagalli fumbled for the ropes tying her hand at her back, but to no avail, it stayed as tight. She struggled and tried screaming for help, but only her faint muffled screams were heard.
'I swear, if I get my hands on this stupid guy…'
Cagalli went silent when she saw the kidnapper finally stand up and face her. Even though she couldn't see his face, she felt his icy stare. She wasn't about to back out. Cagalli glared back.
"Well, well, well, it seems the princess isn't the damsel-in-distress type." Patrick Zala smirked. "But that won't do you any good. I'll be locking you here, but I think you've realized that by now. I just hope you have it stamped in your stupid mind that escaping will never work. You can run for hours, but I can still catch you. This is MY terrirtory. Running cannot get you out of here and back to your stupid country."
Patrick opened the creaking door, bringing some light in the dim room.
"You will get fed, but not as luxurious Princess, there will be no special treatment for you here." He laughed and closed the door with a bang.
Cagalli's temper was flaring. The bastard! She was trembling in anger now. He insulted her AND Orb! Oh...he was REALLY going to pay dearly for that. Sitting up with hard effort, she studied her surroundings in the dark. She was probably in some cellar of a rundown house. Hmph! His threats were nothing, it didn't even scare here, they were probably just lies anyway. Her kidnapper was probably just some stupid ruffian after her father's money again.
She was still looking about her when she noticed something shining on the far corner. Her eyes widened. It was a sharp glass, perfect to cut her rope bindings. A thought suddenly crossed her mind, then she smirked.
"B—but sir! I—" The maid stuttered, trembling as she stepped back from the master of the mansion.
His deep green eyes stared at the pitiful maid before he turned aroung sharply and laughing.
"Whatever. Just go away and leave me, you pitiful creature."
Athrun Zala smiled yet again to himself. He missed making fun of the servants. They were just too stupid and meek. He took a deep breath and unbuttoned his Zaft coat. Finally, after many years of working and fighting, he finally had time to come home and rest. He was given a month, that was long enough, twice the normal time.
He entered the spacious bathroom and took of his shirt. This was going to be a long bath.
Cagalli smiled. Lies again. As expected. She was really good at escaping from kidnapping attempts. Was this the 5th? Or maybe the 6th? Whatever. She wasn't really keeping count.
After slipping out of the window of the rundown house, she scanned her surroundings carefully before breaking into a run towards the nearest shelter. She had to thank Kisaka for the training she had with him. It was really useful, although she never listened to him anyway. Speaking of which, she needed to contact his bodyguard, Kisaka, but he was sent out on a mission... if only she knew how to...
The blonde girl saw a mansion and stopped abruptly.
'Ok...To enter or not to enter...I could leave this place, then again, I might get lost, and get kidnapped again. OR I can enter this mansion and hide in a place for a while before calling for help...OH heck, whatever.'
Cagalli climbed up the brick walls towards the nearest window.
Athrun was in the middle of getting out of the tub when he heard the loud sound of an object falling on the ground on the far side of the bathroom. He immediately tied a towel around his waist and grabbed his trusty knife. With his eyes furrowed and hand held out with the knife, he walked cautiously towards the sound. He couldn't see much because of the fog, but he was pretty sure there was someone in there with him. Where did he come from? Athrun glanced up. The window of course...that was pretty stupid.
The fog was quickly dispersing now. And as soon as he saw the figure stand up, he lunged at him. Athrun pointed the knife to his neck and was about to grab the front of the person's shirt when he touched a feel of something instead. And then heard a scream and felt a sharp pain on his left cheek.
Athrun was still shocked when the fog finally disappeared to show a young lady clad in black tight knee-length dress. Her blonde locks looked very messy, and her face had smudges here and there. But what attracted him the most were her piercing deep amber eyes that were staring at him directly.
He seemed to drown in them when he suddely heard a faint gently sound coming from her lips. Athrun cocked his head to the side in question, still staring intently into those amber orbs. She opened her mouth to speak again, but this time, it wasn't as soft.
"I said TAKE YOUR HAND OF MY CHEST, you JERK!"
