The day they found her

By alexa9935

The day they found her she was in a basement covered in blood and all Special Agent Dana Scully and her partner Fox Mulder could think about was the fact that she was only 12 years old. The pair had seen many gruesome things over the years but as soon as they found her, the little girl clung to Scully for her dear life.

All she kept on saying was, " I'm sorry he...he… he wanted to hurt me and I… I had to… I'm sorry."

The little girl cried until she felt dehydrated. Which for her only took minutes due to the fact she was held against her will in that dark and cold basement by herself. When Mulder say that she stopped he felt so much pain to see a girl around the age Samantha had been when she was taken.

Mulder told the girl, in the most soothing voice she had ever heard, "What's your name, sweetie? My name is Fox" Only letting the girl call him that to see if he could make her smile.

She ducked her head and giggled a little at the thought of his name and said, " My name is Katherine Samantha Cole. I live in Washington, DC. Most people call me Sammy. Is your name really Fox or is that a joke?" Scully smiled at that last question.

"No joke my mom thought that a he should call her only son Fox." Mulder replied with a smile.

"Who are you then?" Sammy asked pointing at Scully.

"Oh that's my friend Scully we both work with the FBI." Mulder forgot that she was just a child when he responded.

"Fox is your mom friends with her mom because you both have very odd names?"

At that both Scully and Mulder both laughed at.

Scully the said, " My name is Dana but Fox here likes to call me after my last name, Scully." She put an emphasis on his first name since she rarely called him by it.

After Sammy got dressed in the hospital gown, with the help of scully, Sammy felt as if she trusted the two agents with her fell in love with them instantly. But she knew she had to tell them that her parents weren't alive. Not even her friends knew she was living alone. She had always walked into school with a bright smile on her face.

"Dana, can I tell you something it's a very big secret I can't keep any longer?" Sammy felt as if scully was gonna say no.

"Yea, of course sweetie, what's wrong?" Scully said a little worried.

"A couple moths ago before the man took me my parents died and they killed themselves actually the left me a note saying they were sorry. But I couldn't tell anyone so I had to keep it a secret...I'm sorry I lied...I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner… just please don't send me back… please Dana." Sammy started to cry and scully held her in her arms all scully could think was, why has she been put through so much she is too young? God, why must you put this upon her she is so sweet and kind? What has she done to deserve this?

With that she looks at the little girl in her arms and vows to keep her safe. While she whisper into Sammy's hair, "I would never send you back. You have done nothing wrong." scully kisses Sammy on the forehead and keeps her in her arms until Sammy I'd sound asleep.
