"Fiona do you know what you are doing to him?" asked Moonbay as she was
having a conversation with her. "I don't want to talk about it," said Fiona
sadly. "Fiona. Listen. "Don't you want to be happy at all?" asked Moonbay.
Fiona didn't even respond. "I can tell that you are suffering from this as
well. Not just Van. So why are you still doing this?" asked Moonbay with a
bit of sympathy. "I love them both with all of my heart. If something
happens to them I don't know what I would do," said Fiona as she looked at
the ground. "Then why are you continuing to do this?" asked Moonbay.
"Kristi will be better protected with Van protecting only her," said Fiona
still looking at the ground. "I swear it is pointless to argue with you.
However. Van deserves to know the truth about your feelings and not those
lies that you were telling him," said Moonbay, "Do you know how much he has
gone through?" asked Moonbay. Fiona remained silent. The she spoke, "I
can't," said Fiona as she ran out of the room about to cry. 'Stop doing
this to yourself,' thought Moonbay.
Running through the halls of the base Fiona was doing her best to keep strong at the moment. 'Why is it that it hurts so much. It wasn't nearly this bad the last time when I ran away,' thought Fiona. She thought that over in her head many times until the truth hit her. 'I loved him back then I am sure of that, but I love him more than ever now,' She thought as she ran into her room and broke down again. 'I can't take it anymore. Van won't even look at me and I don't blame him. How could I have done that to him?' She thought to herself as the tears started to flow down her face. 'I am doing this for my daughter though. She will have a better future than I have by me doing this,' she thought but that didn't stop the hurting that was going on in her heart. 'Why must I put myself through all of this?' she asked herself. "I hate this," she muttered to herself as she sat on her floor and cried.
Van sat upon the blade liger and was currently working on a few minor repairs. Yet his concentration wasn't on his current task but on the events of what was going between him and Fiona. 'I thought I could put aside what she did all those years ago and be happy again but I guess that isn't a possibility,' thought Van as his head fell. 'Even after all she said I can't forget about her. I loved her and trusted her and then she said all those things and it hurt me so badly,' thought Van as his hand clenched into a fist. He then stood up and walked towards the cockpit. "I need to go clear my head," said Van as he hopped into the cockpit and took the controls. "Maybe a short run will help me do that," said Van as the blade liger took off out of the base.
'Moonbay is right. I have changed a lot in all of these years,' thought Fiona. 'I have changed a lot since Van first found me all those years ago. Back then I didn't even know my actual name. Where I was from. Or why I was put in that capsule in the first place. Van helped me though. He didn't have to yet he did. During all of that time I keep having stronger feelings for him. It made me happy to be near him. it made me not care about my past as much. He did me so much good and yet now I can't do anything good around him. I keep pushing him away even thought I love him. I would have never have guessed that something like this would have happened though,' thought Fiona as she stared at the ground. "I have to stop thinking about this or it will just make it harder than it already is for me to do this. After what I said to him, there would be no possible chance for us to ever be happy together," said Fiona. "Yet I am finding it very hard to keep this up. I am lying to him and myself with all that I am saying. When will this all end? When will we finally be at peace and not have to worry about what is going to happen to the ones that we love so that we can be happy about what we have?" she asked herself. "Even when this is over I won't be happy even if I survive it with Van. Everything that I said will keep us apart for the rest of our lives," she told herself. "I will be all alone with no one beside me. Probably even my daughter will end up leaving my life. I have ruined everything," said Fiona as more tears came to her eyes.
"She is definitely suffering from what she did," said Irvine to Moonbay as they sat down and had a drink of coffee. "I know. Yet she won't try and make things right again. She claimed that she didn't love Van and then pushed him away again. Anyone that isn't blind could tell that she is in love with him. Maybe even the blind would be able to," said Moonbay. "What does Van fall under than?" asked Irvine. "Clueless," was all that Moonbay said. Irvine chuckled a little by this. "I have to agree with you there. He is the only one that doesn't know about her feelings," said Irvine with a sigh. "I don't think that what we did before will help this time. What Fiona has done is probably irreversible unless she can decide to tell him the truth. I doubt thought that that will happen," said Irvine. "She's changed," said Moonbay. "I'll say. All that has happened has gone to her head and it has changed her for the worse rather than a better change," said Irvine. "Remember what she was like when we first met her?" asked Moonbay giggling a little. "Yeah, I remember," said Irvine as he thought back to those years. "She was extremely clueless back then. I remember once that Van and me were tied up and she came in right through our captors planning to get us out. She even announced what she was doing. That was way to good," said Moonbay with a laugh as she remembered that event. "What do you think brought this change about?" asked Irvine. "Probably all the years that she was alone. She probably didn't feel loved by anything except her child," said Moonbay. "She is just going to make things worse for herself if she doesn't tell Van the truth. Since he won't believe any of us," said Irvine with a frown.
Van laid back in the seat of the blade liger and was in deep thought. He held in his hand the case that held the ring that he had bought for Fiona. "Why did I have to fall in love?" Van asked himself. "It has brought me nothing but pain. Yet for some reason I find that I still love Fiona even after she hurt me again. Why is it that I must feel like this? I thought we had another chance for happiness but I guess that was nothing but a lie," said Van. 'Just like all that has happened between me and Fiona,' he thought. 'Do you really think that?' a voice in his head asked him. 'I don't but Fiona seems to think that,' Van answered the voice. "Why does she have this effect on me?" he growled as he said this. "I just can't stop thinking about her. Strange, she hurts me and I can't stop thinking about her. I just don't get that," said Van sadly. "I should have asked the fortuneteller if anything like this might happen. Then maybe I could have avoided the heartbreak," he said as he grasped the controls and got the blade liger going once again. "It is over this time. There is no chance of us ever being together," said Van as he got the blade liger moving towards the base.
Fiona stood up from where she was laying on her bed. Her face was still very teary from all the crying that she had done. "I have to go on. I can't let this one event get me down," said Fiona. The her voice got quieter as she spoke. "I am sorry Van. Hate me if you want but I want our daughter to be safe. If you are only protecting her then you will be able to protect her more instead of if you are trying to protect the both of us," said Fiona as she walked towards the door. 'I love you so much, but this is the way that it has to be. I am very sorry about this," said Fiona as she opened the door to find Ashley standing there. "I need to talk to you," said Ashley. There was something strange about her though. As if something wasn't quite right about all of this. Fiona just ignored it though. "What?" asked Fiona quietly. "Follow me," said Ashley as she walked down the halls. Fiona followed after her.
