Author's note: This story is mainly about Veronica and Malone, but it does incorporate a Marguerite/Roxton relationship and a bit of Challenger/Veronica father/daughter relationship. You must read on for the rest. And please, if you post a review, take into consideration that this is my first fan fiction about The Lost World. Thank you.
~Chapter One~
The moon was full and lighted up the entire night sky with its silver haze. The beautiful blonde, Veronica, sat quietly in a chair near the edge of the tree house. She had yet to remember a night so perfect as this, since her parents had been gone. Part of her urged to share this magnificent night with the one man she loved, but the other part of her feared what one-day may come. She knew, the one day, Malone would leave the plateau, and she could not go with him. Her hopes to be with Malone would always be on her mind, but so would the nightmare of him returning to his world.
She slowly looked away from the moon, but that didn't halt her dream, her desire, or her love for Malone.
Just when she thought she might fall deeper into her thoughts, she felt a hand touch her shoulder.
Challenger lifted his hand and sat beside her. He could tell she had been thinking, but he smiled at her warmly before looking to the moon.
"My, what a magnificent sight." He said breaking the silence. "If only this were every night."
Veronica smiled at him, thankful that he had joined her. She didn't say a word to him, not because she didn't know what to say, but only because she loved Challenger like a father. She knew he could see in her eyes what she was thinking about.
He hugged her tightly but said nothing. He only let her fall silently to sleep in his arms, like the daughter he wish he had.
***
The next morning, Veronica woke to silence. She was sitting on her bed listening for something, anything.
She, finally, tossed her blanket to the foot of her bed. She noticed that her boots had been removed. She searched under her bed only to find her boots lying on their sides there. She pulled each boot on carefully and stood glancing out of the window.
Out the window, she could see a drastic change in the environment since she was last out. She could see large raindrops bombarding the trees accompanied by huge gusts of wind that was forcing the large trees to sway back and forth furiously.
She closed the curtain slowly, in a depressed sort of manner.
***
The steam was rising from the small cup of coffee sitting on the table. Marguerite Krux placed her hand delicately on the handle and raised it to her mouth, sipping it ever so slightly. She looked out the window, watching the rain begin to come down harder.
She placed her, soon empty, coffee cup onto the table. She glanced towards Veronica's room hearing her footsteps.
Soon, Veronica emerged from her room slowly. She rubbed the back of her neck a bit before sitting across the table from Marguerite.
"Sleep well?" Asked Marguerite pouring herself yet another cup of coffee.
Veronica thought for a second and soon gave that famous beautiful smile. "Surprisingly, yes." She replied cheerfully. "Where are the others?"
The serious look from Marguerite told her it wasn't good. "Marguerite, what happened?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's just that, some raptors tried to get to the tree house early this morning. A few died from the electric fence, but the others went in search of 'easier' prey. That was only after the fence shorted out." Explained Marguerite changing her mood slightly in a better direction. "They think they can fix it with out us."
Veronica laughed lightly, "Lets see how long that takes."
***
The handsome brute, Roxton, brushed the rain from his face. He was helping Challenger, who was in deep concentration; connect the wires back to the power source, which was switched to off for now.
Malone was standing outside the fence picking up some of the left over wires, broken by the raptors. He slowly carried them through the gate, closing it behind him.
The last wire was placed onto the power source. "That should do it." Yelled Challenger over the wind and rain. "Stand back!"
Malone put the extra wires down and stood by Roxton. Challenger flipped the power source to on. A bright flash emitted from the wires. For a split second the three men could only see the light. Then, just as fast as the light came, it was gone.
The three men looked at each other, but only shrugged. They laughed and headed toward the elevator.
***
The light vanished. Marguerite rubbed her eyes. "Did you see that?"
Veronica didn't answer her question. She just took deep breaths to make the pain, that had suddenly ran through her body, stop. "I'm going to go and get a little fresh air." She said leaving the table.
Marguerite began to ask her what was wrong when Malone, Roxton, and Challenger stepped out of the elevator. As Marguerite looked at Malone, she saw the same grimace look that Veronica had worn on her face.
"I'm going to get some fresh air." Said Malone as he walked away.
This made Marguerite think, but she quickly forgot about it when Roxton sat down next to her. He put his hand behind her head and slowly brought his lips to meet hers.
Challenger took this as a hint and went to his room to dry himself and change out of his wet clothes.
Although Marguerite was smiling, she pushed Roxton away. She then looked at him seriously, "What was that for?"
Roxton just smiled at her and stood up. He ran his hand delicately across Marguerite's face, as he walked to his room to change his clothes.
***
On the edge of the tree house, Veronica was standing watching the trees sway in the wind. The pain was finally beginning to die down. She was trying to think about why she would have had a sudden pain like that.
Malone walked up to the railing to Veronica's right. "Are you alright?" He asked with concern.
Veronica put on a smile for him, but she knew he could see right through it. "It's just that…well, I just had a little…" Started Veronica. She was going to continue when she felt something hit her quick and hard in her left shoulder.
She looked at Malone in pain just before she collapsed.
Malone caught her and laid her softly on the ground. "Challenger!" He yelled loudly, not taking his tear filled eyes off of Veronica.
