Hey you guys! When I finished watching Terra Nova I was so disappointed that the Lucas/Skye relationship had only barely been touched. Soooo, this is where I come in! This chapter might not make sense, but I will continue to post chapters so don't worry it will all make sense in the end! :)
p.s. Italics are Skye's thoughts! You guys are bright though I'm sure you would have picked up on it sooner or later :) Enjoy!
Chapter One
Crack! Branches were breaking and someone or something was producing loud thuds. She heard the commotion through the trees. It had to be Lucas. She ran faster and faster. Making her way over to the clearing she heard whimpering. Wait, was that crying? She broke through the trees. Lucas was hugging Commander Taylor sobbing into his shoulder. What is going on? Skye thought. She looked around crouched in the brush. Her eyes widened, Taylor's gun! She grabbed it as fast as she could just as she watched Lucas stab Commander Taylor in the gut. She stood up.
A shot was fired. Lucas looked up at her and their eyes locked. In his eyes was a devilish glint. He approached Taylor about to stab him again never breaking eye contact with Skye. Another shot was fired. The hurt of betrayal covered up his determined glint, finally breaking eye contact with her, Lucas fell. I shot him.
"Hey Skye! Come over here!" Her friends yelled at her snapping her out of her memory. Skye turned her head; it was Josh, Hunter, Maddy and Mark. She was facing the gates, looking out beyond them wondering where Lucas was.
Skye checked Commander Taylor's wound. They both looked up, Lucas was gone.
"I'm coming!" She called a little too late; Josh came up behind her and grabbed her around the waist picking her up. "Josh put me down!" Skye screamed, laughing. Josh dragged her back to their spot. They were hanging out in the park area of Terra Nova, eating lunch, picnic style.
It had been a month since Skye shot Lucas. Never a day went by when she didn't think about it.
"Okay Josh," she said, " you can put me down now." He chuckled and set her down on their blanket. It had been Maddy's idea to get together for an old style picnic. She was so determined to brighten Skye's mood. All of them had noticed the changes in her mood after the mission to close the portal. Most of them however didn't know the gritty details.
They knew Lucas held Skye hostage for all of ten minutes. They knew that she got away. They also knew that Skye was there when Lucas stabbed Commander Taylor. But what they didn't know was that Lucas was still out there. None of the colonists know, only Skye, Commander Taylor, and Jim Shannon, and a few of Taylor's closest soldiers, including Mark Reynolds.
"Mark, pass me a sandwich," said Maddy, smiling at him.
"Yeah, I'll take one too," added Josh. Mark handed one to Josh and Hunter as well.
"How about you Skye?" asked Mark.
"Sure, thanks." Skye avoided his stare, after all that had happened it was hard to look at anyone who really knew the whole story. She remembered back to when Mark confronted her right after the shooting with Lucas.
Reynolds walked up to her. "Hey Skye I heard about what happened back there in the clearing. You were a real hero, shooting that bastard." He gritted his teeth. "He would have ruined all our lives had he killed Commander Taylor. You did good." He patted Skye on the shoulder.
Skye looked up at him. At first it was just a whimper, then a few tears, then a full out bawl when Skye started crying. I shot him. He stabbed Taylor so I shot him. I shot him. She finally broke down after the ordeal. Why am I crying over a murderer! She yelled at herself. After all Lucas did kill Washington. Stop it Skye, pull yourself together! You're crying because Commander Taylor was almost killed today. No matter what she did to quell her tears they just kept coming.
If it weren't for the nagging feeling in her gut Skye would have chuckled at the situation, Mark was such and awkward guy sometimes.
"Hey there," Mark patted her back awkwardly, slowly stepping away, "Did I, um, say something?"
No I'm only crying because I shot a murderer whom I apparently care enough about to start bawling my eyes out in front of everyone.
It was true; everyone in the area from the mission was starting to stare at her. This is too much for me.
Skye got up and ran. She ran from everyone staring at her, she ran from Terra Nova, she ran from that nagging feeling in her gut. She ran from everything. When she finally stopped running she looked up.
She was alone, in the clearing where she shot him. Blood. There was blood all over the ground. Whether it was Commander Taylor's or Lucas' she didn't know, but it was all she could look at. Skye got a little closer to the place where Lucas fell.
Her eyes widened with surprise; there was a trail of that blood. She followed the trail, and there was a boot, and attached to that boot, was a body. Lucas Taylor.
"Oh my gosh," said a voice behind her. Skye couldn't move. There was Lucas Taylor, alive. He was unconscious but alive nonetheless. "Skye get back!" the voice yelled.
She kept walking forward, until she reached him.
Thanks for reading! Sorry it was so short, but this is just a test run really, but I will continue to post this story if you would like! Also I tried to stay true to the characters but like I said before it might not make sense now but I have just begun to unravel the story. By the way this story weaves in and out through Skye's thoughts and memories.
