A/N: New primeval fanfiction I had saved on my computer. It's set in between season 3 and 4 in the Cretaceous. I hope you like it and leave a review!
Abby sat whittling a spear in anger. It had been a month since they had gotten trapped in the cretaceous and Abby was still being difficult. She had decided to blame Connor for them being trapped because in Abby's mind it was his fault. If he hadn't lost consciousness after Danny threw the grenade they wouldn't have been delayed and missed the anomaly. Connor was currently sitting on the other side of the cave making a fire and attempting to ignore the irritating scraping of the knife on wood. He didn't say anything to her though; he didn't want to give her another reason to hate him.
It hurt Connor more than anything that she was this angry with him. She was the only reason he was bothering to try to survive. Regardless of what she said, he knew she wouldn't be able to make it alone. Thinking back it hurt to remember the moment everything started. They had spent two days in the tree before finally accepting that no one was coming to rescue them. They searched the area trying to find an anomaly or some sign of life but to no avail. They soon accepted they were trapped and decided they needed to strategize and plan what they were going to do. Immediately every idea he put forth was shut down and he soon learnt to shut up. He let her be in control for a while before not being able to take it anymore. She was trying to start a fire and she couldn't do it. He had reached for the sticks she was holding asking her to let him try but she slapped his hands away before she spilt the truth of how she felt.
"I don't need your help! This is your fault! All of this is your fault! We wouldn't be stuck here if you hadn't gone and fallen out of the tree. I don't need you at all!" He had watched her storm off into the woods with a hard heart. His head told him that she didn't mean what she had said but it still hurt like hell, especially from her. He had rushed after her anyway and it was lucky he did because she was being attacked by a raptor. They had escaped eventually intact and they had found the cave they called home. Later when they had settled in she had approached him.
"I guess I do need you but I don't want to, okay? We're only together for the purposes of survival okay?" He sighed and nodded reluctantly and she had made her bed on the furthest side of the cave away from him.
That was how they had lived for a month and it was slowly killing him. He wanted to laugh with her and be the way they were but she wouldn't let him. If he had her company all of this wouldn't be so bad being trapped. He looked up from the newly burning flame as he heard her gasp out in pain. He approached her and knelt in front of her. She glared openly at him but he ignored it, choosing to search for the cause of her pain. He saw it soon enough. There was blood pouring from a wound on her wrist where she had obviously accidently misaimed the knife while whittling.
"I don't need your help!" she protested attempting to turn away from him. He gripped her shoulders firmly.
"Clearly you do and I don't care if you hit me or whatever, Abby I'm going to help you!" He almost shouted at her like a parent would a child and she simply blinked not even bothering to put up her angry front. He led her to the small stream near the cave and washed the wound gently. He saw her wince and he studied the wound. He knew she'd need stitches. He immediately tore some of his shirt-sleeve off and wrapped it around her wrist, trying to stop the blood flow.
Soon they were sitting back in the cave near the fire. Abby had found a needle in the first aid kit and she had finally accepted Connor's help allowing him to hold her arm in place while she stitched the aching wound. Once she was done she re-tried the scrap of fabric on her arm and Connor attempted to speak but she ignored him, walking past him back to her spot in the cave. He sighed, he didn't know how to get her to stop being like this and talk to him. He hoped they would find an anomaly soon so they could get home and be happy again. Little did he know…
A/N: Hey guys! I've really wanted to do a Cretaceous era fic because there are so many great ones but I didn't really know how to approach it. I'm not really sure what I'm doing with this story yet but I love writing story with a little bit of conflict. I can't write a super happy story because it's just too unrealistic.
