Chapter 1- the beginning
She stood in the cave, looking around scared. She was exhausted. She just wanted to go to sleep. But she knew that if she went to sleep, there was a chance that she would never wake up. She had brown wavy hair that fell down to her shoulders. She had dark brown eyes almost black but not quit. Her breasts were full and looked tempting. Her hips were curvy. The clothes she wore made her look appealing. Her full lips were crying out for kisses. But what caught the eye was the fact that her clothes were torn and she had blood flowing out of multiple wounds all over her. She slumped down against the cave wall that was covered in green moss that looked sticky. It was dark out but you could still see her. She looked up at the sky; a dart flew over the sky, making the familiar sound that he was so used to.
She tensed. The dart disappeared from sight over the trees. He could hear the cries of the wraith. They sounded angry as if they couldn't find what they were looking for. She got up, wincing with pain. She looked around. She started running through the trees. He followed her. She was heading to the gate. She started dialling to an address. He looked at the address taking in the different symbols, memorizing them. Just as she was about to enter the gate after the familiar swish happened, she turned round and stared right at him.
"HELP ME!" she yelled, starring at him.
She turned around and ran.
John jumped out of bed, sweating. God the dream was so real he thought. His clothes were drenched and stuck to his body, outlining all of his body. He smoothed his hands through his hair making it stick out at odd angles. John looked at the clock on his bedside table. 3.00am, it read. God he had to get up in two hours for a mission. John through of the covers of the bed and slumped back down. He ran his hands through his hair again. John decided it wasn't worth going back to sleep and got up. He got dressed in the clothes that he wore going around Atlantis. It was the night shift, so it was quite. He started heading for the control room. When he saw her: She was here, on Atlantis. Her clothes looked more torn then they did in the dream. Blood was dripping down her legs and her face had more bruises on. She looked worse. But that was not what caught his attention. It was her eyes. They were darker then in the dream. Her eyes were shinning with fear. She strode over to him and stood in front of him. Her right arm reached up to his face. Smoothing the stubble on his jaw. Her fingers gently touched his cheek. Her fingers were smooth and gentle, almost as if she was a child. John touched her cheek, noting the deep cut on it, which was seeping blood. He reached the hand on his cheek and pried it off.
"Who are you?" John asked, looking at her.
"Help me, please" she asked, emphasising the please.
Voices were appearing round the corner. She turned towards them. She walked over to the wall and touched it. Coordinates appeared. It was a gate address. She looked at him.
"Please" she said.
The voices were becoming stronger and stronger as they moved closer. He turned around to look at the voices. When he turned around, she had gone.
"Colonel, what are you doing up?" asked one of the doctors that was walking on the new technology.
"I ...I couldn't sleep," john replied.
"Are you hungry?" another doctor asked.
"Yeah, I think I'll head to the cafeteria" he said heading towards it.
He sat in the cafeteria for well over two hours, when everybody else started coming in. Rodney and Ronan walked in, taking seats on the opposite side of the table.
"You look horrible," Ronan said, looking at Sheppard.
"I didn't sleep very well" john replied. "Come on we have a mission to get too"
After they had breakfast they all debriefed and Teyla met up with them and they headed threw the gate on another mission. It when on like this for a few weeks. The girls kept appearing to john in his dreams. Her begging for help. He was slowly losing sleep and was finding it hard to work out what was real and what was not. His team mates were noticing it as well. They finally decided that he had to go to Doctor Keller. They ambushed him outside the gym on a day off after a big mission.
"Come on, you're going to Keller," Ronan said, grabbing his arm. Teyla and Rodney flagged behind John and Ronan.
Doctor Keller was sitting in her office waiting for them. John knew that there was no point in arguing with them.
"Explain what's going on." it was an order.
"It's just dreams" john replied, noticing that his team hadn't left.
"Describe them to me" Keller asked.
"There's a girl." "She looks to be about 18 or 19years of age." "She's in pain. She has cuts, bruises and stab wounds all over her". "She's asking for help". "But every time I try I'm forced out of the dream." "she is so scared." John replied, noting the stillness in the room.
"Do you recognise her?" Keller said noting the why he was shivering from the memories.
John shook his head. No, he didn't recognize her. But her screams will forever haunt his dreams. Keller noticed the why he was being shifty. The she realized. Something else was in the dreams. She turned towards the others.
"Out." She ordered, pointing to the door. She turned to john. "Something else happened didn't it?" It wasn't a question.
John nodded his head and looked at Jennifer.
"She was rapped." He almost whispered it.
"You saw it?" she asked, kneeling down next to him, looking at his downward face.
"Saw it, felt it, had to watch it," he said, angrily.
"John how longs this being going on for?" said Keller.
"A few weeks," he replied.
"John, you do realize that I am going to have taken you off active duty if this continues," noting the way his shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Not yet." "Not while there's a chance that she's real". He said pleadingly.
"Fine, but only for two weeks and if there's no improvement I will do it." "Have I made myself clear?" she said stubbornly.
"Perfectly doc" john answered getting up to leave.
He walked out the door and strode over to where his team mates stood.
"Thanks you guys," he said.
Ronan and Teyla walked over and patted him on the shoulders as a sign of good faith. But Rodney. Well, Rodney lugged himself over to john.
"What are friends for." He said.
They all walked off together, heading towards the cafeteria. Well Rodney was, and the others were just following. They were going on a mission in two days too a new planet. It used to be one of the Wraiths bases but was currently deserted or so they thought. Little did any of them realize things were about to change, particularly for john.
