'(Hey Guys this is my first Fanfiction so tell me what you don't like and what you like. Review would be really nice thanks!)

Sheppard sighed as he leaned back against the bedpost. So many thing had happened n the last couple days. A fake Kolya captures him and asked him what he was running from.

'What am I running from?' He wonders as he closes his eyes.

Even though he didn't want to remember he did. The death, the screams, everything that had happened those few years. He could see it all over again and couldn't hold back the tear that slipped through his eye.

His father often told him that only the weak cry. He had the tears beat out of him when he was younger. It all started when he was seven years of age.

A young boy with blue eyes is sitting in the grass in front of a fairly large house. There was a red car coming from the corner of the Southerner street. He knew it well, it was his mother. He smiled and got onto his legs and waved at her. She grinned and waved back as she began to drive forward. A large semi truck appeared and cut the car in half.

That was how John Sheppard watched his mother die. That was when his life took a backward turn. He saw no tears fall from his fathers face at the funeral nor off of his older brothers face. He felt lost and alone. He and his mother had been very close and now without her he had no one.

When they got home from the funeral his father yelled at him, telling him how it was his fault that she died. John didn't understand. He was afraid. Growing up with two men that hated you was hard, the hit and often called him terrible names. But it wasn't always that bad.

He hit his 12 birthday and over that summer several new families appeared in the neighborhood. There was Ally a small petite girl who kept to herself most of the time. She had blond hair and soft green eyes. She lived with her father who drank like John's father often did.

Then there was Todd. Yes, he name the wraith Todd because just like his wraith and that boy they got in and out of so much trouble together. Todd (the human) was tall and had brown hair. He was wild like John and got away with everything and anything. He was the person who confined the others to do something no matter how bad it was. He lived with his grandparents but they cared for him like they cared for the dirt on their carpet. (John thought they cared more for the dirt then Todd but Todd always told him no.)

There was also Anna. She was short and had red hair. She was the hope of the group. She kept them on task when they began to drift away to something else. She was also one of those girls who could not let someone safe her. She fought her own battles (and won lots of them). She lived with her mom and father. They were a good family and often helped John through times of despair but those come later.

Last but not least was Alex. The adult/brains/smart one/talker of the group. He was the one who helped them through problems when they were hard to talk to a real adult about. John had his life saved by him. Alex was tall muscular and had dirty blond hair. His eyes were an orange which people found weird but for the gang that he saved they were safety.

Now that you know his friends and part of his past wait and read to fins what has happened all of his life and why he really came to this alien program.
