Chapter 7: All There Is To Take
"Fiona! Fiona! Wake up! Answer me!" Van shouted as he shook Fiona. Fiona had a splitting headache again. Her moans and groans had brought Van to her side. "V-Van..." she cried out unconsciously. "VAN!" Fiona gave one last shout as she bolted upright from her sleep, panting and perspiring. "It's okay, Fiona... everything's fine..." Van reassured her as he wrapped his arms protectively around her.

-Van's POV-
"Hey, Van! Over here!" I heard Fiona calling out to me. This is beautiful. This is life. We had settled down to rest in a nearby village. It somehow looked a little like my old village. Yes... I missed it so much... "Van!" Fiona called again. I ran over to her. She was standing in front of a tree. "Is there something?" I asked her. She smiled at me before pointing towards the tree. "What is this?" she asked. I stared at the tree. I remembered there was a similar one just like this in my village. "I-It's a... a lemon tree," I replied. She asked me this same question before back then. Maybe it's not a bad thing that she has lost her memory. I could start anew with her. I don't want her to remember all the times I have made her sad and miserable. What if she does regain her memory? Will she still want to be with me? I dare not think of the answer.
-Fiona's POV-
I've never had such a wonderful time as today. Or at least, I can't even remember having had similar days like this one. If only I could remember who Van was. He had told me that he found me when he had found Zeke. Van was a very nice friend. And I can tell that he was determined to help me regain my memory. I was glad of course. Forgetting the people whom I'm close to was one of my biggest regret. But I now have the chance to get them back... all back. There's something about this place that I can't seem to put a finger to. It's well... familiar I guess. Have I been to some place like this before?
"Come on, Fiona! Let's play tag! Haha! Tag you're it!" I heard Van saying to me. And before I could react, he was sprinting 'miles' away. I giggled a little at his child-like behaviour, then went on to chase after him.
* * *
-Van's POV-
"WATCH OUT FIONA!" those were the last few words that I said before she fell hard. Was it all a mistake to have played tag with her? There was a trail of blood trickling down her forehead. It was my fault. I saw how her head had managed to come into contact with a large rock. It was my fault. Her body, which was lying unconscious on the green grass, rolled a little. And I still think that it was my fault. I've seen bad things happening to her so many times. I used to think it had nothing to do with me. But time and events had made sure my mind was changed. She lost her memory twice. One of them was because of me. I had spent most of the day with her everyday. I wanted to be the one to help her regain her memory. I wanted to be the one holding her when she remembers. And I wanted to be the one who she would regard as more than a friend. Are all my efforts going to be wasted? Will she lose her memory- again? I rushed over to her. I hugged her with all the compassion I could give. I will not let fate destroy her... At least, not when I still love her...
