A/N: Here you go guys, I know its been a long time!
Chapter 21
Sydney knocked lightly on the door in front of her. It had been a rough flight; she had slept, but not very well, her head full of menacing thoughts. She smiled as she heard a familiar voice from inside.
"Who is it?" Sydney took a deep breath and spoke "It's me, Sydney" The door opened, revealing Emily's smiling face. "Oh, Sydney!" Emily's smile grew and Sydney pulled her into a warm hug. "How are you Emily? Are you feeling better?" "Oh much better. I'm fine child, tell me how are you?" Emily ushered Sydney inside and took her bags, which she placed gently by the door. "I'm fine," Sydney paused, her thoughts full of Vaughn filled her head with guilt, " It's so good to see you Emily" Emily took Sydney's hands in hers. "It's wonderful to see you as well, dear," she paused for a second and scanned Sydney's face, "would you like me to show you around, give you a tour of the house?" "Of course, that would be wonderful!" Emily led her around the house, each time she saw a new room its beauty stunned her. Finally Emily led her back to the entrance. Sydney picked up her bags and Emily led her up the stairs and down a corridor. She paused in front of another door. "This, darling, is where you will be staying" They exchanged smiles and Emily opened the door. Sydney walked in, and stood still, in awe of the room's beauty. The walls were a pearly white, decorated at the top with antique carvings. There was a large bed to one side of the room. It had a light yellow comforter and many pillows adorned it. On each side of the bed, there was a white wooden night table, the paint slightly chipped, and on them were rustic old lamps, and an alarm clock. On the opposite side of the room from which she had entered, was a small vanity table, with a plush velvet stool in front of it and a large mirror. Next to this was a small library, crammed with so many books that some even had to be stacked up top. There were a couple of long, thin vases around the room that held white roses, and the air smelled like soft flowers. Then, Sydney noticed something that really caught her eye. On the side of the room opposite to the bed, there was a large bay window that gave a spectacular view of the ocean. Sydney walked up to the window and pulled the matching yellow curtains to the side. She opened the window slightly, allowing the fresh ocean scent into the room. "This is beautiful" Sydney said, her voice filled with amazement. Emily smiled and walked towards her, leaving her position by the door. "I'm so glad you like it Sydney. I'll give you some time to settle in, I imagine you want to take a shower?" Sydney turned towards her "Yes, I do, thanks." Emily walked towards a door near the bed. "Here is the bathroom, there are towels in the closet inside and you should find everything you need. If you need anything feel free to ask me, I'll be downstairs in the kitchen." Sydney smiled once more. "Thank you so much" "Your welcome" Emily turned and walked out the door. Sydney sat by the window again. It was so beautiful. For a long time she just watched as the waves rolled onto the shore, one after the other, as if they could wash away all her troubles. She felt free of the CIA, SD-6 and all the other things that haunted her. With a sigh and a smile, she stood and walked into the bathroom.
