An: just thought I'd write what's been running through my head for ages. One character is my own the rest don't belong to me etc. Hope you enjoy.
For the first chapter it flips from the Child's Point of view to John's sometimes it goes back a little so you see what each character sees.
Child
She ran as fast as she could. They weren't going to get her, not this time. She wouldn't let them. Her heart pounded, he feet running without being told. It was as if something took over, she ran through the tiredness, through the pain.
John
John scanned the area.
"Are you shore this is the right planet Rodney?"
The forest was dense. He took slow steps through it.
"I'm certain," he said raising his head from the scanner he held.
"There should be some sort of Wraith lab' around here."
"I sense something," Telya said.
John went straight for his gun. "Wraith?" His voice was now lower.
"I don't know."
John heard something in the tree line. He pointed his gun in the direction.
Child
She could almost feels it's breath on the back of her neck. It was smiling. She knew it was smiling. The smile of pleasure that spread across it's face when it was hunting. She'd seen it before. She took a glance, feeling as if it hand was about to grab her shoulder.
She was running so fast, she wasn't sure she was running at all. Until she felt the impact. She hit something, someone hard in the chest. She struggled as something held her arms. She wasn't going back.
Her eyes glanced up. She met blue eyes. She stopped struggling in the mans arms. For the first time in her life she felt safe. But she had to run. They'd find her and take her back. She tried to struggle again. It was useless his hold was tight, protective as if he knew the pain she had felt, the fear that ran through her body.
The man's grip suddenly loosened as a sound came from the trees. She took the opportunity and started to run.
John
John had walked for a bit. The rest of the team had headed in another direction to try and draw the Wraith away.
John saw something small running at him. It was two small for a Wraith. He lowered his gun as it drew closer. A child. A small girl. The girl was running, he saw the fear in her body, he had to help. He didn't realise she wasn't looking until she her body impacted with her. His hands grabbed her arms, trying to reassure her, while stopping her arms from hitting him. She stopped struggling and he saw two dark brown eyes looking up. Something told him to hold on. Something inside him told him to never let go.
But something was still out there. His grip loosened unconsciously and she was quick to get away. He wanted to run after her. But something hit him across the face hard.
Child
She turned and saw the Wraith standing over him. She knew what would happen. A ache went through her body. To many memories made her heart ache. She couldn't leave. She felt a rush of bravery run through her small body. She took a few paces forward. She could hear her heart beating so loudly. Her breath was heavy.
The wraith towered over the man on the floor. The man knew his fate. She walked from the side, allowing the Wraith to notice her. The man was barely conscious as the Wraith drew ever nearer to her.
"I'll deal with you later," the Wraith hissed. She grabbed at his striking hand. But it was in vain. His over hand grabbed her arm and through her with such force against a rock. And then she saw the darkness.
John.
John's eyes were heavy. He knew he had to get up. The Wraith would take what made John, John away. Then in the corner of the eye he saw the small girl. He wanted to shout run to her. He needed to protect her from the Wraith. But he couldn't, his body was weak. The girl stood there. John wondered what she was doing. The Wraith spoke. Why is he speaking to her, he though. The girl tried to stop the Wraith and soon he saw her small body impacted a rock.
John found something inside him that he never knew he had. He lifted his body and reached to his holster. He gritted his teach, his head pounding. And he grabbed his gun and shot the wraith.
It took only five shots to kill the Wraith. John let his head flop back to the ground and breathed heavily. He then remembered the girl. He lifted his body up. His head hurt but the pain was dying out.
"What happened" said a frightened Rodney.
John went over to the girl. He feared she would be…
A breath, she was breathing. He smiled and moved the long blonde hair from her face. She had a cut on her forehead and her body was resting awkwardly on her arm.
"This girl saved me. She was running and then a wraith attacked me and she gave me the time to recover from the blow. We need to get her back to the gate."
Rodney was confused but just nodded. Telya also nodded.
"What if she has a family?" Teyla said.
"We scanned the planet, there's nothing here except the Wraith lab'. She obviously needs medical attention."
John carefully picked up the child. Her cradled her in his arms and began to walk in the direction of the gate.
