The Shadow Rising
Part I
Kate slowly slid her hand out of John's. She was hoping John wouldn't notice, but he did. John Conner's voice paused for a second, and then resumed talking to a person on the other end of the frequency. Kate decided she would take a look around this place since after all it would soon be home. Kate walked down a hallway, glancing at various computers that they would probably use sooner or later. She sighed and still had to remember that her father was dead and that she was the future wife of John Connor. Kate shook her head and smiled at the thought of having kids with John. 'How am I supposed to fall in love and want to be with him, if I already know that we will?' Kate thought to herself. She was looking for something, but what she couldn't remember, because her thoughts were now on John.
Kate remembered like it was yesterday, John's soft lips kissing hers 10 years ago. She smiled when remembering how John's warm blue eyes looked at her when they first met hers. She thought about when she told John that he was the first person she had ever kissed and the look in his eyes after she had said it. 'Than if we are alone.then how the hell are we supposed to fall in love?' Kate silently asked. She heard the sound of John's voice giving command orders, and looked in the direction from where it was coming from. In the back of her mind Kate said to herself, 'It will happen. Just give it time. Kate, you already know what's going to happen. Admit it, after everything you and John have been through, and will go through, you have feelings towards him.'
Kate sighed and nodded to herself, agreeing that yes, she did have more deeper feelings for John than in the beginning when she first found him in her vet hospital. She laughed at the fact that she had put John Connor in a cage. Kate remembered what she was looking for, she was looking for food. She nor John hadn't eaten anything in at least twelve hours and she figured John was as hungry as she was. Kate went down another hallway and opened a few doors to see if there were any supplies to clean their injuries with or any food to eat. Kate after ten minutes of looking found some things to clean up John's and her wounds and found food. Kate found two full rooms full of food that would last an eternity. Kate gathered a few things that looked good and grabbed the rest of the things and walked back to where John was. Kate felt as though she had been here before.
She carried the bandages and food all in her arms, but Kate managed to make it back to where John was without any help. Kate noticed as she came into the opening to where John was that he had stopped talking and had his head in his hands. Hundreds of things were going through John's mind, and one of them was remembering seeing Kate for the first time nearly 10 years ago. John remembered that curious look on Kate's face and her blue eyes and the way she looked at him when they kissed. John started to smile at the thought of that kiss. John looked up in time to see Kate walking over to a table and setting the bandages and food down. John quickly got up to help her. He limped over to where she was. John didn't know what to say to her. He looked over the food and bandages and then at Kate. Kate avoided John's gaze by keeping busy with the bandages. John picked up some medicine and bandages and began working on his leg. After getting his leg bandaged, John asked Kate, 'Where did you find the food?'
Kate looked up from cleaning a wound and looked into John's eyes for a second and then looked away and said, 'There's about 2 rooms full of food down that way..' she finished pointing in the direction in which she had just came from. John looked down the corridor where Kate had pointed and then looked back at Kate. 'What else down that way? What were in some of the rooms?' John asked, picking up a box of crackers and opening them. Kate, who was done cleaning and bandaging her wounds, looked at John and said, 'Umm, well besides the 2 rooms full of food, there was more communication equipment and weapons. I didn't look in all the rooms.' John nodded as he took a bite from a cracker. 'This is going to be harder than I thought..' thought John.
Kate, who by now, was eating some crackers herself, suddenly felt tired. Kate, who had been sitting in a chair, swallowed when John, who was sitting on the table, moved closer to her. John slowly put his hand under Kate's chin pulling her gaze away from the floor. Kate slowly drew her eyes towards John's. John, looking into Kate's blue eyes, said to himself, 'So this is what it's like to fall in love..' John before he knew what he was doing, was leaning in slowly. Kate touching John's hand still under her chin, she smiled and closed her eyes. Then voices on the main channel came buzzing through. 'Connor? Connor..are you there? We've been..' John pulled away, wishing that whoever it was, could wait a few more seconds. But, he quickly got up and answered the incoming calls. Kate sat at the table still couldn't believe what almost happened. 'Oh my God..' Kate said to herself. She took another bite of a cracker and put her arms on the table and laid her head down also. Kate slowly went to sleep thinking about John. John, kept his eyes away from Kate (after all he didn't want his mind to drift) and gave more help to the voice on the end of the channel.
After an hour and a half of talking, the channels were shut down. The men on the other end had either been killed or lost communication with John. John worried on what was going on in other places of the world, hoping that he helped those men somehow. He got up and stretched and looked towards where Kate was sleeping. He smiled and walked towards Kate. He stopped and looked at her again. 'God, she's so beautiful..' John whispered. He walked towards a nearby corridor and glanced back at Kate before moving on. John opened three doors, until on the fourth one he found what he was looking for. John went back out the door and back to where Kate was sleeping. John, praying that she wouldn't wake up, lifted her from the chair and carried her in his arms, down the corridor and into the room. John carefully placed Kate on one of the beds and made sure he didn't wake her. Kate rolled over to face John who was sitting on the floor next to her. John looked at her for a long time then moved a piece of her hair that had fallen across Kate's face. He moved it away and caressed her cheek. Kate touched her cheek and sighed. John smiled again and got up. He found a blanket in a nearby closet in the room and covered Kate with it. John shut off the overhead light and left the door cracked open to let some light in, because after all there weren't any windows. John stepped out into the hallway and rubbed his face with his hands. He sat down and stared at the cement floor, thinking of possibilities and what's going to happen with Kate. John felt a headache coming on, but tried to wear it off by walking around the shelter, looking for maybe some clothes and cleaning area. He found some clothes and found a small cleaning area with running water. John cleaned the dirt and dry blood from his face and arms, and cleaned the area on his leg. John paused and looked at himself in a small mirror. 'Here I am, John Connor, some great leader.cant even be brave enough to kiss her. Hell, John, you did it before.', he told himself into the mirror. John grabbed the clothes and went back out into the hallway.
His headache was becoming a painful one. All the thoughts about Kate and god, everything else that's happening outside the shelter made John's headache even worse. John squeezed his eyes shut and then opened them again. He took the clothes and set them outside of the room where Kate was sleeping. John looked at the door longingly wanting to lye down next to Kate and sleep. John looked away and then walked towards where the calls had been coming in for John's help and advice. John really needed some sleep, and since he really didn't want to abandon any incoming calls, he waited and waited. John found himself in a dream, something from the past. He looked to his right, and there was Kate, standing by his side beaming and him, smiling like she did when he almost kissed her and hold his hand in hers. Then John turned around and looked behind him. There was his mother, smiling proudly and sitting next to her was a hazy figure that was scruffy and resembled John in some ways. 'It's my father..' John said staring at him. John's father smiled at him and waved. Next to John's parents was Kate's. John smiled at them and waved, then looked towards the back of the room. And there he was, The Terminator. His protector. John looked at him and shook his head grinning. He turned back to Kate. Kate moving closer to him, said, 'I do..' and John smiled at Kate.
The realization of the dream startled John and woke him up. He was breathing fast, and slowed down, trying to calm himself. But John found that though he felt fine, his heart was beating like crazy. John had no clue what time it was, and decided to shut down for tonight, he needed at least two hours of sleep so he could think clearly. John moved silently into the room where Kate was sleeping. He brought in the clean clothes and set them on a small table near the beds. He quietly unbuttoned his shirt and kept his under shirt on and laid down on the bed a few feet away from Kate's. John gazed at the dim outline of Kate's face and slowly fell into deep sleep.
