AN: Ahaha, I'm a guilty little beotch. -glance- I really should be working on something else…but oh well. :D Enjoy this chapter dammit! P.S. This is in Sophia's POV.

Dedicated: To my other Gaian friend, Teskine! She hates this couple, so it's just for spite. 8D

Lonely

I have to admit, being captured by the Vendeeni for, what, 2 or 3 months give or take, wasn't fun at all. Especially being stuck with the same clothes for that long. Bleugh!

Honestly! Monthly cramps weren't being very nice those few months. Crappy bed, crappy bath, crappy toilet…no change of clothes what-so-ever, what did you want me to do? Be my usual perky self?!

Ughh…anyways, yeah, it was bad. Those Vendeeni soldiers weren't very nice…and the food was horrible! I could've cooked something better with my eyes blindfolded! Even Uncle Robert agreed with me…but he told me that I had to keep my mouth shut, or else they might hurt me.

So I agreed, being the good girl I was. No one probably knew, but I kinda hated that about myself. So that's why when those Vendeeni thought that I was useless, and wasn't needed for meeting Fayt, I sort of snapped. They were going to kill me.

One soldier comes into my room with his disrupter rifle. I was pretending to sleep, but I really couldn't since my mind was swimming with multiple thoughts. So I noticed pretty quickly that he was in there, took this chair that was nearby and slammed it onto his head. He dropped to the ground like he had seen the biggest shock of his life.

Maybe it was instinct, or plain primal terror, but somehow that swing of my arms had enough strenghth to kill him. With the adrenaline and fear running through my veins, I took the lamp on the nightstand and slammed that over his head too, not realizing that he was already dead. It was as if I did that again just to make sure he wouldn't move. His head became a bloody mess.

Just like that, my once pure hands had been stained with the crime of murdering someone. I was filthy, unclean, and unforgivable. Yet, that made me get a twinge of happiness inside. I was finally not a little, naïve, innocent girl. I was in the real world, and that didn't scare me like I thought it might.

Or course, the Vendeeni soldiers were mad. They were going to try to kill me again, but Uncle Robert insisted and convinced that without me, Fayt wouldn't accept the trade. I tried to tell him that Fayt would still go with them in exchange for his life, but he insisted. Eventually they complied, and I was safe.

Although, I was now limited by being locked into my room, hands tied and no contact with Uncle Robert at all. I could ask the Vendeeni about him, but they wouldn't even talk to me. Oh well, it was expected. They must've gotten some sort of sick pleasure when I had to dig my face into the food just to get a bite to eat, like a dog. Bastards.

So now, I'm in the Aquaelie, safe and sound. I still can't really believe that Fayt's friends and I made it out alive, and that Uncle Robert died, but…it was life, I supposed. Things like this would happen when planets were filled with terrorists. I still kept up my innocent, cheerful naïve self though, even if it was a bit forced. I didn't want to worry Fayt.

I sighed, thinking about what had happened during my time in the Vendeeni ship. It was scary and strange…almost surreal. Everything just seemed so unbelievable then, but it had really happened. I even wished that it hadn't happened, and that I was still vacationing on Hyda IV with Fayt, Uncle Robert and Aunt Ryoko, but I knew that this wasn't a dream, or anything of the sort.

I heard the door to my room open, like oh so many nights ago, but it was just you. You sat down on the bed and looked at me. Your face looked a little strained, and I hoped that you would get some rest.

You spoke. "Uhh…are you feeling ok Sophia?"

Then I realized that more than anything, during my time as a hostage, I was alone. I had Uncle Robert, but then he'd been taken away. That was what had made me so sad and scared. As I realized this, I smiled and replied to you.

"Yeah. I'm fine Fayt."

I wasn't lonely anymore.

Lonely – Fin

AN: This is truly my first attempt at drama. I hope it was ok. I suppose this was more of a Sophia character exploration fic, but it still had some FaytSophia at the end. xD Wa-ha-har. I wanted to write this to try to come up with something for when she was a hostage. Sure, she looked fine and peachy, but her time with the Vendeeni couldn't have been pleasant. Let's face it, that's just unrealistic. So, maybe killing someone was a bit drastic, but I've wanted to write that for a while. I just couldn't think of a situation. (The other option was NOT a good one either. -glance-). Besides, what had she done when her period came? XD Also, let's ignore the fact that this probably could never take place in the game. Yeah.

Reviews, criticism and flames are appreciated! The flames are for laughing though. ;D
