Chapter one

Love and sorrow

She was in a room. It was...quiet. She has never experienced such an eerie silence in her entire life. It scared her. She could see nothing. Not even her own hands when she went to look at them. All there was to see, was darkness.

Then, a faint sound came to her ears. It was slowly getting louder. She was dead still. Unable to move, due to fear rising in her body. She inhaled a shaky breath, before a voice was heard.

"You must be wondering where you are" the voice echoed when it spoke. It was definitely a male voice, but she couldn't tell who was talking.

She still didn't have the confidence to talk. Her body still paralysed in fear. The voice continued.

"You must be horrified" he said calmly. Fiona cocked an eyebrow. What is going on? She thought.

"You've seen so much. You have seen your parent, like friend, Felix get blown to pieces. Seen your sister almost die in front of you... and you put up with a man...you've grown to love...Rhys"

Fiona was starting to feel anger boiling her body, like a kettle. She finally had the strength to talk.

"Don't ever mention that name!" she shouted. Making her voice echo like his. Silence came again for a few seconds, before it was shortly broken.

"You're angry..." the voice said slowly. Still calm very calm. "I know you hate him more than I could ever understand." he pauses to allow Fiona to think for a few moments. She looks down, even though there is nothing to see. Her narrowed eyes separating, and her eyes starting to produce tears.

She didn't hate Rhys. She's just never felt like this before. She feels heartbroken. He hasn't come to visit her, since the celebration for defeating the vault monster. She's been over thinking it. She thinks that he doesn't care about her -even though that is completely the opposite of what he feels- any more. She loves him more then he can understand. But she feels like he doesn't love her back.

The voice continues to finish his sentence.

"But he misses you..." he whispered. Fiona could feel her tears streaming down her face, and her make-up going with it. She didn't know how to respond, so she stayed silent. She fell to her knees and her sobs were uncomfortably sorrow. Her tears were warm, soft, and full of love.

She was starting to remember the last time she saw him. It was in the Helios crash. Vaughn was telling her, Sasha, Loader bot and Gortys about the embarrassing time when Rhys spilled coffee over his old girlfriend Stacy. Everyone laughed accept for her. She felt jealousy rising in her stomach at the thought of someone else with him. Rhys came in shortly after, his eyes looking serious and his eyebrows knitted together. Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him. To be honest, everyone was scared. They've never seen him looking this serious before. And if he was looking at them like that...it couldn't be good...
