Chapter 3
Where is she?

"Ok Van so what happened between you and Fiona?" Irvine asked once they were inside the house.

"We had a fight." Van said trying to hold the tears that were threatening to fall. He was sitting on a chair with his hands on his face.

"I think that is obvious. What we want to know is what was it about?" Moonbay asked. She wanted to know exactly what had happened.

"I got a message from Crougar saying that he needed my help. So I told Fiona about it, but she wouldn't understand. I had to postpone the wedding again, but Fiona didn't want to so she got angry at me. She told me to choose between her and the army." Van said remembering the fight that he had with Fiona.

"But you told her that you choose her, right?" Moonbay asked.

"Um, well not really. I yelled at her and then she left." Said Van ashamed of what he had done.

"You idiot!" Moonbay yelled. She got up from her chair and grabbed Van by his shirt collar. "How could you have done that! No wonder Fiona left. You made her think that you choose that army over her." Moonbay said really angry at that moment and that was something that everyone should be scare of. Upsetting Moonbay can be the biggest mistake of your life.

"She's right Van. You were a real idiot for doing that." Irvine said who hadn't moved from his chair. He knew that when Moonbay is angry it was best to stay away.

"I know that already. What I want to know is where Fiona is." Van said. Moonbay released him and sat back in her chair. "Maybe she went back to the base." Van said with hope in his voice. "I mean if she didn't come here the only place left is the base."

"I don't know." Moonbay said doubtful of what he was thinking. Something inside of her was telling her that Fiona wasn't there.

"Where else could she have gone?" Irvine asked. Even though he didn't show it, he was really worried. Fiona was like his little sister and anything that bother her bother him.

"If she wanted to be away from Van then she wouldn't have gone back to the base." Moonbay said.

"What if she went to see Maria?" Van asked trying not to give up hope.

Irvine shook his head. "I don't think so. Maria is your sister. If Fiona wanted to be away from you she wouldn't gone back to the Wind Colony." He silently prayed that he was wrong, but he knew that he wasn't.

Van's heart only sank even more. His hopes were dying. If Fiona hadn't gone back to the base or gone to see Maria, then were could she be? There wasn't any other place that she could of gone to. /I'll never forgive myself if something happens to her./

The phone rang and everyone had the same thought going through their mind. All three of them race to the phone. Van got their first. He picked up the phone and said, "Fiona?"

"Lieutenant Flyheight, this is Crougar." Crougar said a bit confuse that Van had called him Fiona.

"Oh," said Van not hiding his disappointment. His heart only shattered even more if it was possible.

"Van I need you to report to Silver town immediately. The Guardian Force needs yours and Irvine's help." Crougar said.

"Fine." Van said softly and then hung up.

"Who was it?" Both Moonbay and Irvine asked at the same time.

"Crougar." Van said. His hopes were shattering by the minute.

Van wasn't sure of what to do. He was needed at Silver Town, but he wanted to stay and look for Fiona. Moonbay saw the distress look on Van's face and decided to help.

"Van, you and Irvine go on a head to Silver Town. I'll look for Fiona." Moonbay said. Van was about to protest but Moonbay cut him off. "It's better if I look for her. She is probably still mad at you and if she sees you she'll probably hide from you. At least I have a better chance of bringing her back."

"Moonbay is right." Irvine said. The knew that Fiona saw Moonbay like an older sister. So she has a better chance that Fiona would listen to her instead of Van. "Let her handle it. We on the other hand have to get going."

Van just sigh and nodded. He knew that when those two teamed up there was no way to stop them until they got what they wanted. Like for example his relationship with Fiona. It was because of those two that Fiona and he admitted their feelings towards each other.

"I'll just get my stuff." Irvine said as he went into the bedroom. Suddenly Van's curiosity kicked in.

"Hey Irvine, how come you're here?" I thought that you where going to go back to the village you were born in." Van said. At first he was too worried and shocked about Fiona leaving that he didn't notice that.

Moonbay got up from her chair and went into the kitchen as if to hide from Van.

"Ummmm." Was all that it was heard from Irvine.

Van only smiled. So those two really did have something. Wouldn't Fiona love to hear this. Suddenly he lost his smile. /Don't worry Van, she'll be back soon to hear this wonderful news./ Van thought.

5 Months Later

The battle in Silver Town had spread out to other towns near by keeping the Guardian Force busy. There still had been no word from Fiona which made Van even more scared. He was afraid that something might of happened to her. Moonbay searched all the towns near the place that they where staying. So far she had gotten a lead about a woman matching Fiona's description heading to a town. Moonbay had rushed over to that place and told Van that she would write to him as soon as she got there.

Van stared at the dark sky. It had been five months since she left him. How he missed her. He would do anything to hold her in his arms once again. A knock on his door interrupted his thoughts.

"Lieutenant Flyheight, I have a letter for you." A soldier said.

Van quickly made his way towards the door and opened it. The soldier handed it to him and then left. Van opened the letter and began to read it.

Hey Van,

How have you been? Well I'm sorry to tell you this but Fiona wasn't in that town. No one here has seen her. Although an old man said that he saw a woman similar to Fiona's description but the thing is that she was pregnant and last time I checked Fiona wasn't. I'm going to check the towns near by. I'll write to you again once I'm done checking them. Say hi to Irvine for me and take care.

Moonbay

Van sat on his bed. His heart saddened as he read the letter again. /Where could she be/ He asked himself. He wanted to pound his head into the wall for being so stupid. How could he lose her like that?

Van read the letter again and something captured his attention.

An old man said he saw a woman similar to Fiona's description but that thing is that she was pregnant.

/Pregnant/ Van got up from his bed. He kept thinking about how weird Fiona had been acting before she left.

"I have something important to tell you Van."

"Could she have been?" Van asked himself. He ran a hand through his hair while trying to focus. "She told me she has something important to say, but I didn't let her. I'm such and idiot!" He yelled at himself. Now he really did pound his head on the wall. /What if Fiona is pregnant? Where could she and my child be/ Thought a desperate Van.

Fiona finished making a little baby sweater for her baby. She put the pink sweater in one of the drawers near her bed. The blonde sat on the bed and put a hand on her stomach. She could only smile. Soon her baby will be born and she will be completely happy.

Her smile turned into a frown. She knew it was a lie. She would never be truly happy without Van. Fiona needed him, but she refused to forgive him.

"Stop thinking about him. He made it pretty clear about what he wanted." Fiona said to herself. She loves Van, but he hurt her. Yet she felt guilty. "He doesn't have the slightest clue that I'm going to have his child." She softly sighed. "Maybe someday you'll meet him." She said looking at her stomach.

"He's a good man, but he is not ready for this type of responsibility. I'm just really sorry that you're the one who's going to suffer because of it." Fiona softly said as a tear fell from her eye.

Fiona looked around the room. She didn't have many things, but she had all she needed. An old woman had taken her in. The elderly woman was all alone except for her grandson that lived in the next town. Her husband had died a few years ago and her son as well. She told Fiona that she would be delighted to have her there. Fiona couldn't refuse.

The elderly woman named Nancy, treated Fiona like she was her daughter. Soon after that another girl, younger than Fiona, showed up in the same state as her. Nancy welcomed her too and now all three of them are like family. There was a knock on the door that brought Fiona out of her thoughts.

"Come in." She said. After she said that an old woman came in. You could see white hairs mixing if her black ones with her braided hair. Her brown eyes held kindness and wisdom.

"Hello Fiona. Why are you here in your room?" Nancy asked in a soft gentle voice.

Fiona only smiled. "I was just remembering some things." She said.

Nancy could read Fiona like a book. "You were thinking about him, weren't you?" Fiona only nodded. It was no use lying to her. Nancy placed a hand on Fiona's shoulder. "Do you really love him?"

"Yes." Fiona said softly. Nancy sat on the bed next to her.

"But you still wont tell him about the baby." Nancy said. She had grown to see Fiona as the daughter that she never had. She care for her dearly and for her soon to be born child too.

Fiona stared at the floor as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. She knew what Nancy thought about the subject, but since she knew the answer she remained silent.

"Fiona, why don't you change and get yourself ready. My grandson will soon arrive and I have no doubt that he is taking all of us for dinner." Nancy said hoping to lift Fiona's mood. She got up from the bed and started walking towards the door. Without looking back she said, "I know that you will make the right choice." With that she left.

Fiona finally looked up and sighs. Nancy had told her a bunch of times that she should tell Van about the baby. Sometimes Fiona doubted her decision, but she couldn't back out now.

Fiona got up from her bed and walked to the closet. She looked through her clothes to see what she would put on for tonight. Fiona knew that Nancy was right about her grandson taking them out to dinner.

Jason, Nancy's grandson, always did. He's a nice guy. A big flirt sometimes, but he's good. Fiona knows that Jason adores his grandmother, but do to his job he has to live in the next town which is ten miles from here.

Fiona finished getting ready. She was starting to look forward to the dinner. The blonde had no idea how everything in hr life would change tonight.
