Hehe...this could turn out to be a really good story, or really crappy, I don't care. XD I just felt like writing a drama/romance. And who doesn't love romance?
Chapter 1
The Woman
"McKay, where exactly are we?"
After a few moments of silence, John turned around to find only empty spaces where McKay and his team had been only moments before. He looked around, seeing only a dense jungle surrounding him. Deciding he had better head back to the gate, he started retracing his past steps when he suddenly found himself on the dirt after tripping on something hidden beneath the dense forage.
"What the-"
He quickly looked back to see what had caused him to fall, and found, to his surprise, it was…an unconscious woman.
"Who is she?" Dr. Weir asked after the Colonel had arrived back at Atlantis with the woman in his arms. She was now in a hospital bed, Carson checking her vital signs.
"I don't know." John replied simply, still looking down at the sleeping woman. "She hasn't even been awake since I found her." He turned at the sound of someone entering the room, his eyebrows furrowing as he found it was McKay, who immediately spoke before Colonel could.
"Hey, you didn't see them… or hear them."
"Who?"
"Those island people. They just came out of the trees and-" McKay was (thankfully) interrupted by the sound of the woman awaking. She gave a failed attempt to sit up, then looked around at all the faces around her. "What…where am I?"
The Colonel was quick to answer before the others could. "Atlantis. I found you back on.. er… your home planet, unconscious, and brought you back here."
She nodded, though still looked rather confused. Dr. Weir spoke next. "What's your name?" The woman suddenly looked intense, as if she had to think about such a thing deeply.
"I… I don't remember."
John look concerned, quickly following Carson as he walked to the other side of the room. "Find anything?"
"Anxious, aren't we? By what I've seen so far, everything looks fine. She's only been here a little while, but I'm sure we'll find something deathly wrong with her in more time, if that's what you're wanting."
"Funny."
Dr. Weir walked up to them, looking first at Shepard. "She's asking for you, John. And Carson, I would like to speak to you." They all separated, Elizabeth and Carson leaving entirely, McKay already having left.
"How are you feeling?" John asked, pulling up a stool beside the bed and sitting down.
She laughed softly, sitting up completely now. "Like I don't know anything." He smiled, mentally slapping himself for getting lost in her steel gray eyes. "Well, don't worry. You'll come to remembering it all eventually."
"I certainly hope so."
There was a few moments of silence between them, before the Colonel finally broke it. "So… you want anything?"
She smiled. "Hm… how about your name?"
John smirked, quite unable to take his eyes off her. "John Shepard."
"Well, thank you for rescuing me, Mr. Shepard."
"Please, call me John. And you're welcome."
His heart skipped a beat as she smiled at him, those mysterious eyes practically burning right through his soul. Suddenly and strangely nervous, he stood, running his hand through his mess of black hair. "I had better go and…talk to Dr. Beckett." He said,saying the first thing that came to his mind, which unfortunately wasn't very convincing. She giggled at this, perhaps causing John to become even more nervous.
"Um… I'll be back to check on you later."
"Alright. Goodbye… John."
He smiled, tapping his hand nervously on the wall, steadily inching toward the door, replying just before he left the room.
"Bye."
