Hello there! Here I come back with a new fanfiction I just wrote.
Happening during S9 but way different from what really happened in CC version.
I hope you enjoy it!
« Any news concerning Mulder? »
« Of course not, why would I? Should I remind you he is hiding for the sake of his own life, Agent Doggett? »
« No need to be so defensive, Scully. I was just wondering. »
« Well, you don't need to. »
Angry, Scully left the basement office. She could not do this anymore. Lying had never been her forte and she knew Doggett and Reyes were very suspicious concerning her recent behavior. Even if she really tried to act normally, she could not deny not being the same these days. She wanted to be honest with her colleagues but she could not, Mulder had been very clear about it all. If she were to talk, she could put everyone in danger and that was out of the question.
Later that day, once back at her place with William now sleeping, Scully could not stop thinking about the recent events of her life. So many things had changed. So many lies had been created so lives could be saved. Scully wondered how long she could keep on doing this. How long could she pretend living the life she was actually not living at all? When would that change? All she wanted was a peaceful life with William and Mulder. That was all she asked for. Nothing more, nothing less.
While cooking, Scully received a text. She knew who it was from. Taking a deep breath, the red haired dried her hands and grabbed the phone she could only use to contact him. Or, for that matter, the other way around.
Same place ; 11:27
As she closed her eyes, Scully tried to convince herself that way of living was not permanent, that things would change sooner or later. They could not go on like this forever anyway, that she knew.
As usual, Scully deleted the text and locked the phone so no one could use it. Stupid password she had trouble remembering herself.
It will be easier that way.
But for whom?
A very short first chapter, I know.
But what follows will be longer, I promise. :)
