Author's notes: Ok, I got bored of writing my other story and so I thought I'd write something fresh. Ok, I can't be bothered with typing too much, the idea is leaving my head as I type..so Let's get typing!!
Chapter One: Raven
The wind whistled softy as it rustled the tree's leaves. Van sighed deeply as he looked over at Fiona, sitting calmly on a white bench, watching the trees bend to the wind. She was so...beautiful.
This is a good time to tell her, tell her now! Van thought.
He slowly moved towards her. Fiona looked up at him and smiled. Van returned to smile and sat down next to her. Fiona looked at him expectantly, assuming he had something to say, but Van didn't speak. Fiona then settled back into her own thoughts again.
Van gave her a sideways glance. He loved her golden yellow hair and sun set coloured eyes, he loved the way she was so gentle and sensitive, he loved her smile and all the silly questions that she asked and he loved her..
" Fiona.." He begun quietly.
" Yes Van?" Fiona answered with her usual enthusiasm.
" I...I just wanted..to say..." Van stammered over his words.
Fiona cocked her head encouragingly.
" ..That from the first time I met you, I've always felt something for you, but when I met you again for the first time in four years I knew that it had become more than friendship.." Van trailed off, his throat becoming dry.
" That's great Van." Fiona smiled.
" No, wait! I'm..not finished..," Van added quickly; He took a deep breath, " Fiona, I...I think.., no, ...I know that..., Fiona...I...I...I love you." Van looked at Fiona nervously, trying to read her expression.
Fiona stared, silently, into Van's brown eyes. They were so gentle and compassionate. Ever since she had first awoken Van had been there with her. He had always been so kind and gentle and brotherly...
" I love you too, Van." She began softly.
A true, genuine smile slowly appeared on Van's face.
" You do? You really do?" Van added eagerly. He felt so happy.
" Yes, Van, I really do...but," Fiona continued, " As a brother Van, not a lover.."
All of Van's joy was dashed in seconds. Brother? A brother? Was that all he meant to her?
Fiona noticed Van's sudden change and continued quickly.
" You've always been there for me, always around me, I've always thought of you as a brother, I love you as a brother! Isn't that still love??" Fiona was standing now and she wasn't speaking softly any more.
" But...I love you as a...I've never thought of you as a sister.." Van turned his head away.
" I'm so sorry, Van, but I love-" Fiona suddenly stopped as though on the verge of revealing a secret. Van looked up at her so sadly.
" Who do you love Fiona?" He said softly.
Fiona bit her lip. She didn't like to see Van this way...she had to tell him, she just had to. His eyes were so pleading and he sounded so sad. She could still remember how he had looked just minutes before, when she had said that she loved him. He'd been so happy...and now he was so sad...and it was all because of her. Yet she knew the news would disturb him greatly.
" Oh....oh..,"She was crying now, " I love...I love Raven!" Fiona sobbed then she quickly turned around and ran away from him...
Van sat, hurt and stunned, where she left him.
Raven?
