My Struggle III

Scully looked directly into the beam of light, it somehow felt warm, comforting, yet terrifying at the same time. She was mesmerised by it, as if drawn by its power. Scully tried focus her eyes back to Mulder but she couldn't. Everything seemed to have slowed down, like she was paralysed for a moment in time and no-one could break her out of. She could hear Agent Miller yelling at her in the distance. She could feel her blood beating throughout her veins with every pulse. Her lungs started to feel tight like she couldn't breathe, but somehow she felt more full of oxygen than she had ever felt. Like she was free from the burdens of life.

In this moment of clarity, she could hear someone whispering, soothing her inner thoughts. Although she didn't recognize the voice, it was comforting as if that voice was always meant to be there. She slowly closed her eyes as she listened to that voice. It was speaking to her, calming her, telling her everything was going to be alright… and she believe it, she believed… him.

Suddenly she started to feel the anxiety coming back as her surroundings came back to her. She could hear the screaming of the other people on the bridge as they ran away from the UFO hovering above her. She blinked a few times as her eyes started to water uncontrollably from the intense light. She looked back over her shoulder at Mulder who was staring directly at her with weak eyes… no not at her. She turned back suddenly to a young boy standing right in front of her. She jumped back slightly. He was in his mid-teens, his eyes were dark, cold looking, almost black and they were staring right at her. They're eyes locked, Scully could feel her body go cold as her skin started to tingle. He looked familiar in some way, yet she hadn't seen him before in her life… or had she? In that moment recognition hit her hard and fast. It took her breath away.

"William…" She breathed.

"Hello, mother."

Author Notes

Hello everyone, sorry I've been so out of it for so long! Hope you like alternative ending to what I believe will happen or could happen when they do finish the series. (He wouldn't have a cliff hanger without going to finish it.)

I want to thank all my previous fans for staying with me for so long after all these years, and for you I do plan to finish my other unfinished stories.

Let me know what you thought and whether you want me to continue. I know it's short but I wrote what I felt in the moment.

Thanks for reading in 2016!

May the files be with you!
