Gone ~ Chapter 3
She couldn't sleep. She couldn't eat. She couldn't smile. All she could do was think about him, and cry. She sat quietly looking out of the window. The sun was rising and the bright colors painted the sky.
She was going to start her new life, she didn't have to hide from her friends, Will and Francie could come and visit. Actually, they were arriving later to help her settle in at her new home. She felt nauseated. It was probably just the plane ride and the sadness that caused the ill feeling swelling up inside of her.
Thank god the plane was half empty and no one was sitting next to her. She shut her eyes tightly trying hard to hold back the tears, but shutting her eyes wouldn't help. The tears slid out from under her eyelids and stained her pale cheeks. Visions of the night before invaded her thoughts as she started to slip into a light sleep.

His forehead wrinkles deepened and he looked at her in confusion. His hand lay upon hers and she held it tightly as she turned away from him, the tears threatening to overcome her.
"Syd.what's going on?" She fought the tears with all her might but they slipped from her eyes as easily as ever. She gave in and let them out freely. Through sobs she tried to explain.
"SD-6 maybe gone, Vaughn, but The Alliance isn't," she could see the tears welling up inside of him as he started to understand what was happening, "Devlin's orders are for me to go to New York, and stay there, for my own safety."
He was speechless. No words would come to him. She was leaving him, she had to. Everything had been so perfect. He couldn't take this.
"Syd." He looked down at her sad expression, and now the tears were freely rolling down his face as well, "I love you" He kissed her sweetly, their tears mixing as they escaped from their eyes. He held her tightly in his arms. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know what he could do. And then, without a word, he let go of her, kissed her one last time, and walked away, leaving her sobbing and leaning against the railing for support.
*Fast Forward*
She woke, startled. She tried to wipe away the memories but they flooded her head and haunted her.
She grabbed at her neck and felt the necklace, the one Vaughn had given her. She stared at it and for a second she could see his eyes sweetly smiling at her, but it was just an illusion.
She held the emerald tightly in her hand. She would never take it off, never.
