This is my first Primeval fic, so please no flames. Also, the first couple of paragraphs are my version of what someone would call a slightly poor attempt at abridging a scene from a show. Anyways, read on please.
Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Primeval, because if I didn't I'd probably be super famous right about now.
Chapter One: Famous Last Words
"Stephen, open the door!" Nick Cutter yelled pounding on the dead-locked titanium door as he watched Stephen slowly back away from the door and towards his imminent demise.
"Sorry mate, I'm doing this one." Stephen called back.
"No, open this door, right now!" Cutter called back more furious than before as he pounded on the door. "Stephen!"
"Tell Conner and Abby to stay out of trouble." Stephen smirked for the last time as all of the creatures he had previously fought encircled him, but what was far more horrific than his "silent death," was the indescribable look on his face right before it happened.
As Nick's face disappeared from the small window, there was someone who continued to pound on a door calling, no, screaming for Stephen to get out of there even though it was clearly much too late. This person had originally gone back to get Cutter, but stumbled upon this gruesome scene. This person was……

"Abby. Abby, wake up!" Conner called as he lightly shook Abby awake.
Abby jumped out of her chair looking like Conner had electrocuted her out of her seat, but suddenly realized that she'd fallen asleep at her desk in the ARC again. "I'm awake Conner, what is it? Another anomaly?"
"Nah, Lester's on his way down to make sure that everyone's going home. He said something about dinner plans, god I hope it's not that nurse from the medical bay, she's a real looker that one." Connor trailed off.
Abby rubbed her drowsy eyes, "Sorry?"
Connor jumped at the realization that he'd just said that out loud, "um, Lester's got dinner plans, that's why he's letting everyone off the hook early tonight."
"What time is it?" Abby asked, as she started to move and stumbled.
"About six p.m.," Connor replied catching her. "Listen Abby, I think that, um, maybe I should drive. I don't think I ever seen you this tired, since," Connor stated and then gave Abby a once-over glance; "actually, I've never seen you this tired."
"It's nothing, really, I just- I haven't been getting much sleep lately. But it's nothing a good night's rest won't cure." Abby tried to smile convincingly hoping Connor would buy in.
Connor clapped his hands together, a wide grin spreading across his face, "Right, so eat-in or take-out?" He asked as they left the ARC.
"Doesn't matter. What do you want?" Abby asked trying to keep Connor occupied with dinner rather than her sleep deprivation.
"Well, we could get Chinese food or pizza?" Connor asked hopefully, looking at Abby.
"Pizza sounds great!" Abby replied with fake cheerfulness.
"Super!" Connor replied putting his phone up to his ear having already dialed the number. "Pepperoni and Mushroom alright with you?"
"Yep." Abby replied as they got into her car and drove back to the flat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Connor and Abby returned to the flat and ate, they started to watch Casino Royal, (A/N the newer version of Casino Royal. Connor had decided to rent a dvd on their way back.) but Abby dozed off about twenty minutes into the film, although she did try her best to stay awake.

"Stephen, open the door!" Nick Cutter yelled pounding on the dead-locked titanium door as he watched Stephen slowly back away from the door and towards his imminent demise.
"Sorry mate, I'm doing this one." Stephen called back.
"No, open this door, right now!" Cutter called back more furious than before as he pounded on the door. "Stephen!"
"Tell Conner and Abby to stay out of trouble." Stephen smirked for the last time as all of the creatures he had previously fought encircled him, but what was far more horrific than his "silent death," was the indescribable look on his face right before it happened.

This person had originally gone back to get Cutter, but stumbled upon this gruesome scene. This person was……
It was Abby; she was the person pounding on the other door, screaming for Stephen to get out of there. When she finally realized the futility of the situation, she fell to her knees grasping her bloody hands. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. How could this have happened? This had to be Helen Cutter's doing. But before she (Abby) could finish her next thought, she noticed a bright light, an anomaly, soon partially obscured by a shadow of someone or something……
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Abs-Abby…?" Connor gently shook her trying to wake her, because she was practically screaming bloody murder in her sleep.
Abby's eyes flew open and she shot straight up, releasing one last scream and then noticed her best friend looking quizzically at her with worried eyes.
"Connor?" she said breathing heavily, making his name sound more like a question than a statement.
Connor pulled Abby into a hug, "you're starting to scare me, Abs."
"I think I'm starting to scare myself." Abby replied holding tightly onto Connor as if he were the only thing keeping her anchored in reality.
"Bad dream?"
"Nightmare, more like it."
"Abby?" Connor asked in an alarmed voice.
"Yeah?"
"You're burning up." Conner replied cautiously.
"No, I'm fine, really. I'm gonna go put the kettle on that'll calm me-" Abby stood and turned to walk toward the kitchen, but collapsed onto the floor.
Connor jumped off the couch ad began to check Abby's vital signs, her heart was beating rapidly. "Abs-Abby! Abby!!"
Connor turned around and grabbed his mobile off the table and called for an ambulance.
"Just hang on Abby," he said to her unconscious form, "hang on!"
But she could barely hear him as the darkness overwhelmed her.
