Scene's flashed before her that she felt was of importance. There were
pictures of her and Van before she left. When their daughter was born.
There were also the bad memories like the dream she had. The scene of Van
getting stabbed through the stomach seemed to be the scene that flashed
through her mind the most. She felt like screaming but she couldn't make a
sound just like the first time she had the dream. She just couldn't take it
any more and she wanted this all to stop because it was only ruining her
life and the lives of anyone around her.
Fiona somehow managed to slowly open her eyes because for some reason she felt extremely weak and was having a great amount of a struggle just trying. Using as much strength as she could she made an attempt to sit up but she soon found that it was a big mistake as she fell back down to the bed in great pain. "I see you have finally awakened," came a kind voice from beside her. "Huh?" asked Fiona as she looked to see the old lady. "What am I doing here?" asked Fiona. "I found you out in the desert. You had past out from the heat and I brought you here," said the old lady. Fiona bolted upright successfully this time and said, "I am sorry but I have to go," said Fiona as she attempted to get out of the bed. The old lady lightly pushed her back down onto the bed. "What is the rush?" asked the old lady. "I will only be a burden to you," said Fiona. "You mean because of those guys that were looking for you?" asked the old lady. Fiona nodded her head. "They came by here already but left without the knowledge that you are here," said the old lady. A thought then came to Fiona's mind. "What happened to the town?" asked Fiona. "It is gone. The people were lucky though because there were only a few deaths. The rest were all taken to the red river base," said the old woman. 'That is where Van is,' thought Fiona. "Something wrong?" asked the old lady. "No," said Fiona simply. "By the way my name is Rose," said the old lady. "Mine is Fiona," said Fiona. "Well it is good to see you will be fine Fiona because you have been asleep for well over a week," said Rose. 'A week. Oh no Kristi,' thought Fiona as she tried to get up again. "You should rest for a little before you go anywhere," said Rose as she once again pushed Fiona down onto the bed. "Now rest and I will bring you something to eat," said Rose nicely as she left the room.
"What is going on?" Van asked upon seeing that something was going on. "We are sending a reconnaissance to the town to see if there may be any more survivors. We are finally able to do it because they finally left the place," said Crougar.
The nighttime came and Fiona found that she couldn't sleep. She was really tired but for some reason she just couldn't get to sleep. 'This woman has been really kind to me by letting me stay here and take care of me. She even told a lie to those soldiers just so they wouldn't find me. She put herself in danger and I don't want to put her in any more,' thought Fiona as she quietly got out of the bed. She quickly got changed and walked out of the room. She looked around to make sure Rose wasn't there and when she saw no one she crept towards the door. She opened it but it let off a loud squeak as it opened. Fiona cringed at the sound. She listened to try and see if it woke up the old lady and when nobody came she crept out the door.
A Storm sworder flew over what was once the town. "Crougar sir. I have done my search of the area and I have found no one around that was alive," said the pilot. "Very good. Check the area surrounding the town and then return to the base," came Crougars voice over a communication link. "Yes sir," said the Storm Sworder but no reply came because all became static. "Great the communications are down. I will just have to do this without making a report later," said the pilot as the storm sworder flew out of the town and into the desert. "I doubt there will be anyone out here that is alive but I might as well go and check," said the pilot.
Fiona had been traveling for a day now, and she was really starting to regret it all. She had left without any water and it was a pretty warm out the entire day. "Where will I go?" Fiona asked herself. "I have nowhere else to go. I can't go back to Van, I don't know where my daughter is, and the place that I have called my home for the past few years was destroyed," said Fiona to no one. "I also have to worry about running into any of the soldiers that are out looking for me," said Fiona. She started to feel a bit dizzy and she was growing really tired. The heat of the night was really getting to her and she also found that it was getting really hard to stay awake. She found herself losing consciousness and then everything went dark.
The storm sworder was flying nearby. The pilot was looking the place over trying to spot any sign of life. He happened to spot a small figure lying in the sand. He landed the storm sworder and walked over to the figure. "She is probably dead like all of the others," said the pilot. He checked her pulse and was surprised to see that the girl had a faint pulse. 'I can't believe that she is alive after all of this time out in the desert," said the pilot as he picked up the girl and walked back to the storm sworder. "Better get her back to the base soon or she might not survive," said the pilot as he quickly hoped into the storm sworder and took off.
"Have you been able to restore communication yet?" asked Crougar getting impatient at the amount of time that it was taking. It was the morning after they had lost contact with the pilot. "No sir, but I appear to have found the source of it. There appears to be a sand storm between here and the pilots last location. Until it stops we won't have any communication with him," said a soldier. "Tell me when you have restored contact," said Crougar as he walked out of the room.
He looked at the people that were still at the base and felt bad. Van approached him and asked him a question. "Sir, what are you planning to do with them because I know that they won't be able to stay here forever," said Van. "We are planning to send them to New Helic City. It is safe there because there are many military bases near there," said Crougar. "I see," said Van. "Why do you ask?" asked Crougar. "No reason," said Van as he saluted and walked away. When Van was out of sight another soldier approached Crougar and he seemed to be in a hurry. "What is it?" asked Crougar. "Sir the Storm Sworder has just come back," said the soldier. Crougar ran to the hanger because he didn't think that the pilot would be back so soon.
Running into the hanger he found the storm sworder just entering. It hit the ground and the pilot got out of the storm sworder almost immediately. From what Crougar could see he was carrying someone. He came down the ladder as fats as he could with the girl still in his arms. He came up to where the pilot was. The person he had brought down was lying on the ground and was still out of it. Crougar approached the girl and took a look at her. "It can't be," said Crougar. "Go get a doctor," ordered Crougar to a soldier. The soldier then immediately ran out of the hanger. "You. Go and get Flyheight now,' he ordered another soldier that was nearby. "Yes sir," said the soldier also running out of the hanger at full speed.
Van watched in amusement as Kristi played with a ball with Zeke. She kicked the ball and it went up and hit Zeke in the face. At this Van could barely hold in his laughter. Kristi grabbed the ball and came over to Van. "Play with me," she said grabbing his hand and trying to pull him out to play with the ball with her. "Major Flyheight," yelled a voice from one of the halls. Van looked to see a soldier running towards him. "What is it?" asked Van curious as to why he wanted to see him. "Crougar wants you to come to the hanger immediately," said the soldier. "What does he want?" asked Van. "I don't know. He just told me to get you," said the soldier. "Very well," said Van as he started to walk towards the hanger. "Wait," yelled Kristi running after him.
"What is it that you want sir?" asked Van when he saw Crougar waiting for him. "Van come with me," said Crougar leading Van towards the storm sworder. "The Storm Sworder we sent out to find survivors came back a few minutes ago with one," said Crougar. "Ok," said Van slightly confused. "You should see who it is," said Crougar as he stopped in front of the girl who was now on a small bed. Van looked around Crougar at the girl. His eyes only widened when he saw her. "Fiona," Van whispered upon seeing her.
Fiona somehow managed to slowly open her eyes because for some reason she felt extremely weak and was having a great amount of a struggle just trying.
