Van bolted awake at the sound of a beep to his side. He pressed the little flashing button, causing a comlink to appear on the screen.
"Van, I would never have guessed that you would fall asleep with your prey sitting right behind you," Dodge mocked as his face appeared in front of Van.
"Normally my prey would already be dead," Van growled as he heard Fiona stir.
"Well I've got tough news for you, we had to move bases, someone was getting too suspicious."
"WHAT!?" Van yelled causing Fiona to wake up.
"It should take you about 3 days to get there from your current position," Dodge replied calmly noticing Fiona was looking at them as he sent Van a map.
"I refuse to take her that far, I'll kill her before I do that!" Van yelled, not even noticing Fiona. "Send someone to pick her up!"
"No, and I know you will bring her anyway because you love your job to much, and you wouldn't risk losing it because you have to travel with your prey for a few days."
"FINE! I'll take her!" Van yelled angrily as he turned off the comlink.
"So it looks like I will be traveling with you for a while," Fiona said as Van turned around to face her.
"Yes and if you say something to offend me, I'll kill you right here, even if Dodge needs your powers!" Van quickly went back to piloting the Blade Liger.
"Well seeing as I am going to be traveling with you for a while, it would help if I knew your name, Mr. Assassin Sir," said Fiona as she leaned back into the seat.
"It's Van." Van growled.
After that they pretty much had complete silence until later that night.
"What are you doing?" Fiona asked curiously as Van stopped the Liger.
"Stopping to make camp, now get down here, I don't want you to run away while I get fire wood," Van yelled as Fiona jumped down. Van headed off into the woods, Fiona quickly took off her kimono, leaving her in her nightgown, she didn't want to ruin the only set of clothes she had, and quickly followed.
"Here," Van said as he handed Fiona some wood, taking some into his own arms, walked back to the Blade Liger. Fiona silently followed.
"Stop," Van said as he reached his arm out, stopping her from going any further.
"Why!" Fiona asked quietly.
"Shh, I think that there might be some bandits around here," Van said as he began to walk towards the Blade Liger. Van suddenly saw a glint of metal, and he dodged, looking back to see a knife stuck in a tree. Fiona let out a scream as she dropped her wood. Van quickly clamped his hand over her mouth. Another glint of metal caught his eye. He quickly pulled Fiona close, so his body hugged hers. Another knife caught in the tree she was standing in front of.
Fiona felt her cheeks grow warm, she had never been close to a boy before, and she looked up. Van's eyes looked full and alert.
Van heard laughing, he peeked out from behind some trees to see about 15 bandits swarming around his Blade Liger.
"Stay here" Van commanded as he let go of Fiona. Fiona watched him disappear and walk out into the clearing, all of the Bandits turned to look at him.
"Leave this place, and I MIGHT spare you," Fiona heard Van exclaim.
"Yah right," One of the bandits yelled.
"Where's the broad, we heard her scream!" Another yelled. Van could tell that most of them where drunk.
" . . ."
"Fine, then we will find her ourselves," one of the other Bandits called as he walked toward the forest.
Fiona quickly looked away, she knew that there was going to be blood shed, and to tell the truth, her stomach probably wouldn't be able to take it. Fiona heard the swishing of a knife.
"I warned you!" Fiona heard Van exclaim as she heard the yells of the dying men.
Van watched as one bandit took off in the opposite direction, Van chased after him, leaving Fiona with silence.
"Van," Fiona whispered as she walked out of the forest, the site of all the dead men made her stomach feel queasy. Suddenly Fiona felt something slice her leg, she looked down to see a long gash and a man with a bleeding side wound begin to stand up.
"Well there you are, I knew you would show your face soon enough!" the bandit said as he walked towards Fiona. Fiona backed up with every step he took forward. The bandit began to grin. Fiona heard him give a yell as blood splattered at her feet, she saw Van looming over him. Fiona fainted, falling backwards to the ground.
Van walked over to her, he grew angry at seeing the gash on her leg. He quickly picked her up in his arms.
"I'm the only on whose allowed to harm her," Van mumbled to himself as he walked towards a more clear opening, away from all of the dead bandits. Laying Fiona on the ground he walked back and picked up all of the firewood both he and Fiona had dropped, he also picked up Fiona's kimono on the way back as well as a few blankets and some bandages. Van quickly set to work on a fire after he returned to the spot he had left Fiona.
After successfully making a fire, Van laid out one of the blankets on the ground. He quickly picked up Fiona and set her on top of it. He quickly wrapped the bandages around her cut. He made a pillow out of her Kimono and laid another Blanket on top of her. He then returned to his seat on the ground. He stared into the fire, thinking to himself.
'That girl Fiona seems almost too innocent, she seems so kind and gentle, and she hasn't complained or said anything about anything I have done, such as kidnap her.' Thoughts such as these clouded his head. Suddenly he heard Fiona mumble in her sleep.
Fiona shot up, that last dream was too much for her. Most of the time her dreams came true, sort of like a premonition, but that last dream could never happen. Her and Van were . . . kissing! Though she did think he was cute for an assassin, that would never happen. Fiona looked over to the fire, where Van was looking at her weirdly.
"Bad Dream," Fiona said as she stood up and sat beside Van. Fiona looked over at the bandages on her leg. "Did you put those bandages on," Fiona asked as Van nodded yes. "Thanks, and thanks for saving me today," Fiona stated softly.
"Yah sure, I cant let you die unless I'm the one killing you anyway," Van stated. Fiona looked away from Van and up to the stars.
"The stars are especially pretty tonight," Fiona said as Van turned to look at her. For some reason he couldn't stop looking at her. "Is something wrong?"
"No," Van quickly turned to look at the stars. "Yes the stars are nice tonight," Van commented as Fiona turned to look back at the stars. After a few minutes Fiona felt herself growing tired, pretty soon she was out like a light. And Van didn't know how, but she had managed to fall asleep on his shoulder. He looked down at her blonde head. Why was she just sleeping on him like that? It was like she trusted him not to hurt her, even though he had promised her that he would kill her. And what was this feeling deep down inside him, it was like a warm, fuzzy feeling. He gently lifted Fiona up, placing her back onto the makeshift bed. He returned to his spot, his plan . . . to stay up all night and watch for more bandits, but soon enough, he too fell into a light slumber.
*****
Sweet and simple. And look, Van's feeling love (not that he knows it or anything)! He's also showing more feelings!! Well that's all I got right now, and if you want to drop me an idea, it would be greatly appreciated!!!! And please leave a nice review!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
