Auhtor's notes: This is my first Lang and Maya story. Oh and there may be some Faldo bashing, cause I don't like him at all. Enjoy! ^_^;;

The chilly gust of wind brushed past Maya, as she stepped outside of her hut. Tilting her head up to the cerulean blue sky, her lips curved into a slight smile. Nothing had changed at all. Everything had returned to the way it was before. However, there was one thing that had changed, since Avalon was defeated. She was left alone, once again.

Despite how much she tried to ignore the fact that she was no longer sleeping underneath the stars with her old friends, Maya found it impossible to get used to it. Every time she closed her eyes to sleep, Maya would expect to hear the familiar sound of Kazan snoring or the warmth of the campfire. Yet, then she would awake to find herself alone, in the darkness of her hut.

"Lang." Her lips moved as she uttered the name out loud, her breath forming in white puffs of air.

Not only did he remind her of a brother she never had, Lang was her best friend. Whenever she felt depressed.he would find a way to cheer her up. He was unlike anyone else she had met before. As they ventured further into their journey, Maya became surrounded in emotions, she wasn't used to. It was only now that she understood what that feeling was.

"There you are, Maya!"

Surprised, Maya glanced over to see, Faldo, emerge from his hut, with a serious look on his face.

"Faldo? What is the matter?"

Taking a hold of her hands, Faldo looked up at her.

"I can't stand it anymore.you have to tell me the truth, Maya! Do you love me, more than just a friend?"

"Faldo."

"Answer me!"

Maya avoided his eyes, and said nothing. Faldo narrowed his eyes and grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to look his way.

"You love him, don't you? How can you? He is nothing, but a mystic!"

"You don't understand." Maya told him, firmly, breaking free of his grasp. "He is much different, than what you think."

"So, its true. You do love him."

Maya shook her head. "I never said that, Faldo! You're assuming things to quickly!"

Turning his back to her, Faldo continued on, ignoring her. "Think about it, Maya. If that guy really cared about you, then why hasn't he stopped by here?"

Maya fell silent, looking down at the snow-covered ground. No matter how hard, she tried not to believe it was true, hope inside of her was slowly draining away. It had been a month since everyone went his or her separate ways.

".I will go to Nohl."

"What? All by yourself?"

"Yes," replied Maya, her voice filled with determination. "That is where Lang lives."

Faldo took a step forward. "You're planning to go all that way, just to see that guy? That is stupid! He probably has a girlfriend anyway!"

Heading back towards the door of her hut, Maya stopped in her tracks, hearing Faldo's harsh words.

"That doesn't matter to me. All I want is to see him.to know that he is still there."

Author's notes: I love Lang and Maya as a couple! It may seem a bit angsty at first, but don't worry I'll add in some humor and lots of romance along the way! ^_^
