"The Storm"

Kathryn was running through the woods while the ground was shaking violently in the storm. All of a sudden she was on the ground, unable to move. She had tripped over a log and her ankle was throbbing in pain. Then she heard Chakotay in the distance.

Chakotay- Kathryn! Kathryn! Kathryn! Are you all right?

Janeway- No, I can't move it's my ankle, I tripped over that log.

Chakotay- Come on, I have you, trust me!

Chakotay picked her up and carried her back to the cabin. He could feel her body quiver in his arms. When they reached the cabin he put her down, looked at her and realized there were tears running down her cheeks. He wiped her cheeks off as he said.

Chakotay- What is it?

Kathryn- I don't know. Chakotay I think, I know, Well what I'm trying to say is. (Taking a breath) Chakotay I.

He pulled her close and kissed her head. As he did she managed an "I love you". He got her under the table and the two shared a bittersweet kiss.
