Laura
paused, looking between the adults, her face flushed. "I- um…"
she stuttered. Her eyes turned away from the other eyes that peered
at her with eyes wanting to know something that she couldn't fully
explain herself.
She pulled open the car door to get out. She
turned to see everyone looking at her. "It's just" she stopped
dead pain entered her forehead. She wasn't supposed to tell anyone
she knew things.
The pain stabbed right through her, sending
shivers up her back. She put her two hands to her head and doubled
over outside the car.
Mulder, Scully and Tom all came out of
the car, raced around to see the young girl with tears running down
her now pale face.
Scully took the girl into her arms and held
her gently. She rocked her slightly confused and worried at what had
just happened. Mulder and her self exchanged expressions.
Scully
noticed Tom's expression and noticed that he wasn't as much
surprised as the two adults. "she suffers from bad headaches" was
all Tom managed to say. "They will pass soon" he said hoping deep
down that was the truth. But Tom has doubt in his mind.
Laura closed her eyes and let her sink into Scully's body. After 5 minutes but seemed like a life time to everyone involved the young girl opened her eyes, her skin paler. "I'm okay…. let's go inside!" she whispered weakly.
Scully nodded and stood up,
supporting the young girl. Worried was invading her mind, why did her
niece have such bad headaches and why did they come on without any
warning signs.
She walked with the young girl towards the house.
Tom in front and Mulder now at Laura's other side.
Once
inside and laying down on the couch, Laura thought, she had to tell
someone, but she didn't know how to. All she knew is that when she
tried to tell someone, her mind would freak out and cause the big bad
pain in her head.
She closed her eyes slightly, knowing that the
pain was getting worse but couldn't tell anyone why or how.
Tom was unpacking his things in his bedroom and had his room door shut.
Scully and Mulder talked. "That was very strange" Mulder
answered. They exchanged a concerned look. They talked about how the
sudden the headache came on. They tried not to talk about her knowing
the case. That was confusing on its own. But right now, this was more
important.
Mulder started to talk when Scully's Cell Phone went.
She looked down and opened it, putting it to her ear. "You've
just let an X files case walk into your house…beware. she's
dangerous, more than you know"
The phone went dead and she
looked over at her niece sleeping peacefully.
