Hello everyone! This is my first Primeval fan fiction. I noticed that there are only like two or three Matt/Emily stories out there and I really like the idea of them together. Also, I was sick today so I was bored.

This is the scene where Matt and Emily meet, but from her point of view.

For now this is going to be a one-shot, but if you guys want me to, and I get enough reviews, I will continue. Also, if you want me to continue, should I continue rewriting Matt/Emily scenes from her point of view, should I go full fledged fan fiction, or should I do a mixture of both? Whatever it is, tell me what you guys want.

I don't own Primeval or any of the characters.

"Jess, there's something in here."

Emily watched as the man came a few steps closer, he had heard her and she knew she had to act fast. She pushed a rack of costumes over onto the man and began to run through the backstage are of the theater, pulling other racks down behind her in an attempt to slow him down.

"Wait" The man yelled, but she wasn't going to stop.

When she reached the area where the gateway had opened, she paused for a moment, should she keep running? She could see out of the corner of her eye that he was getting closer. She made her decision, and stepped through the gateway.

She stepped through and glanced around, happy to be back in this time, a time that she had grown used to. She ran through the clearing, and was half way up the side of the hill on the other side when she glanced behind her and saw him standing there. Why had that fool followed her through? She turned back to the hill and focused on getting back to her companions.

She got to the top and continued to run checking over her shoulder every few seconds, but he was catching up. She knew that she wasn't going to be able to outrun him for long. She had learned one thing in her time traveling through the gateways, if you couldn't outrun what was chasing you, you had to outsmart it, catch it off guard. She stopped and picked up the first thick, solid looking stick she saw and waited. As soon as he came in to view, she swung it and hit him in the head, knocking him onto his back. He rolled onto his side a little and squinted groggily a few times.

"I don't need your help, you fool. Go back!" She said, her voice full of venom and frustration. The pain of losing her friend was still fresh in her mind. Now that, Charlotte was gone she had worry about the unpredictable Ethan, she knew that he blamed her. She did not want to deal with this man following her. She started to run toward were she had left the group, when she heard him yell something.

"Hey!"

Normally, she would have just kept running, but the tone in his voice sounded urgent. She turned around just as he took a few steppes closer and yelled again.

"Hey, look out!"

She followed his gaze, realizing that he was not looking at her, but above her. She glanced up, sure enough in a tree just feet above her was a tree creeper. She didn't have time to react before she felt its tail curl around her waist. She wasn't sure if she screamed and the sound of the creature covered it up, or if she was so surprised that her mouth had opened and no sound had come out. She knew she had to act fast if she was going to survive. She wriggled around trying to avoid the creepers thrashing claws. She pulled her leg up so that she could reach into the side of her boot and pulled out her dagger. She stabbed it into the dark leathery skin on creature's tail and it instantly loosened its grip on her.

She hit the ground with such force that it knocked the air out of her lungs. She rolled onto her back, and looked up into the trees. Her vision was a bit hazy, but she could see the creeper's retreating figure. The man ran to her side and knelt down next to her.

He picked up her dagger and stuck it in his belt. "Come on, come on we've gotta go. Up you come," he said as he helped her up. She put her arm around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist and she began to limp along as the man ran.

"What are you doing?" She asked, as she realized that the man was heading for the gateway.

"I'm trying to get you home," he said as if it were completely obvious. They ran until they reached the gateway, but it looked strange. In place of its usual form, there was a floating sphere, "No!" The man yelled in frustration.

He laid her down and paced back and forth a bit, glancing at the anomaly and then back at her. She heard a thud, and then the screeching of a tree creeper, what sounded like a few feet away. She rolled over to see what was going on, and watched helplessly as the man tried to fend off the creeper. Suddenly, the gateway returned to its usual form, and the man helped her up and they ran through.

So, Review and let me know: What you guys think? Does it stink? Should I keep going? Should I keep doing Matt/Emily scenes? Should I make it more of a fan fiction? Should I combine the two?

Should I stop rambling now? Oh, wait, I can answer that one. ;)
