Thanks for the reviews. This chapter really is just to help you figure out why Leoben wants Kara. Still not sure where I'm going with this story yet. The reviews will help me figure that out.

Leoben could see the future, the patterns and visions grew stronger. Starbuck's torture and agony was short-lived compared to the joys they'd experience together, their child she would grow to love. Leoben sat back and imagined what it would be like to be 'husband'. He wanted to be everything to Starbuck, her caretaker, her provider, her nurturer.

He had plans for Starbuck; he needed to separate her from her family before the memories and love for him faded.

Leoben stalked Starbuck for days and knew where she'd be and what time. It became closer to make his move. He heard the fights with Sam and he heard her screams in the night. He disguised himself as a Colonial, and put a drug in the Ambrosia Starbuck ordered while she played Pyramid with Sam one night. He waited in the closet in her room, knowing Anders would carry her back and leave her there, but this time Starbuck wasn't passed out from excess Ambrosia, it was the drugs.

He couldn't resist sneaking a peek at his beautiful love, as Anders set her down gently, placing a kiss on her forehead and left the room. Leoben smiled as he approached her, "You said you loved me... You meant it and it's killing you." He sat next to her as he brushed her hair to the side and kissed her gently on the lips.

He placed her in a storage crate, and rolled it to the hanger deck where there was a Raptor with a number eight, disguised as Sharon waiting for them.

"Ready." She asked and they placed the crate on the Raptor.

They flew to the Prometheus. Leoben had the room designed to look like the room of the basement apartment where she stayed for four months. It clearly wasn't, but he had to make her believe that she wasn't on board. His vision didn't include her being able to survive on a basestar, but he needed her to survive.

He pulled the storage crate open and looked at her. "I lover you Kara Thrace." He carried her to the bed and kissed her again. Then took a seat and anticipated the drugs finally wearing off.

Kara was running. She was running away from something. She just couldn't see what it was. But it was getting closer. Her heart was pounding and there was a cold sheen of sweat on her face. She kept looking over her shoulder, couldn't see anything, but she could feel it getting closer. She could hear the pounding behind her and all she could think was if she got to Sam in time, everything would be okay. Suddenly, she slowed and it felt like she was running through water. She struggled to run faster and finally broke free and reached out to grab Sam, but he slipped from her grasp. She looked around but couldn't see him. He was standing right there a few seconds ago. She was standing there looking for him when she felt a cold hand on her shoulder and a voice she knew to well.
Kara shot straight up in the bed. Wiping away the sweat on her forehead and moving her long blond hair out of her eyes. Damn it! It was that frakking dream again about Leoben. She could have sworn that she was in the Mess hall aboard Galactica, drinking her life away.

Her vision was blurry and couldn't focus on anything yet. She turned her head and couldn't make out a figure sitting next to her. She thought it was Sam watching her as she slept. Her head was throbbing and aching again. She rubbed it and took in a heavy sigh and cleared her throat. "Hey." She scooted to the edge of the bed and reached out her hand to who she thought was Sam. He grabbed it back and embraced her. She looked up at him and kissed him slowly and passionately.

Leoben kissed her passionately back, knowing she was completely unaware it was him. He needed to experience that moment of hope they would be together, forever, like visions he continued to have. How simple humanity seemed when he got the insanity of the secrets of the universe.

But he loved her despite her own simplicity, he would wait for her until the end of time. He slowly began to feel that she would know it him, and he pulled away before she could do anything.

Something was wrong, something didn't feel right to her. Their kiss was released and she opened her eyes. Her vision was slowly starting to return. "Sam?"

Leoben didn't answer. He wasn't sure how far they were from the resurrection ship, if he would be able to download. But it was important for him to continue his work with Starbuck. Her hidden destiny had to be fulfilled no matter what the cost. Leoben true to being a Cylon was stronger than her. "In time I will here the words again. In time, you will show me you love me without a knife in your hand to take my life. You will truly know love as I wait for you," he whispered to himself.

He walked over to the table where a bowl of oatmeal was. "Are you hungry?" He pulled out a chair for her to sit down in and then walked over to the bed.

His hand pulled her out of the bed and led her to a table. "I'm not hungry." She sat down at the table and focused on the man. The person who she thought was Sam wasn't, for this man had dirty blond hair. Her eyes widen and she gasped "Frak me!" Her guard was back up and pushed herself away from the table, knocking her chair over.

"Kara clam down. You're only going to hurt yourself."

"How did you get me here, Leoben?" Just when she thought it was over, she was back in her hell again. She backed up against the wall, her hands were trying to find anything around her to use a weapon to kill him. "Where are we?" She demanded. Her vision had returned, and she looked around. It was the prison apartment. But how did I get off of the Galactica without anyone knowing I was kidnapped?

"Kara, this is our destiny together, both of us. Me and you." He smiled with a concerned look on his face. "I know this is difficult to accept, but Galactica is far away and won't think to come back to New Caprica. They have lost too much to risk returning for a single soldier."

"My Gods."

He sighed hungrily, "But you are so much more than a soldier." He stood up and walked towards her. He placed one hand next to her head and leaned over like he had seen on old television footage on Caprica. He wanted to become the perfect husband for her to fall in love with.

"Get away from me you toaster."

"I am sorry about Kacey, but there is one thing that is true, you may still yet be a mother." He wasn't sure if it was his programming or if he truly felt sorry about the ruse he had with Kacey. But for the moment he was elated with toying with the idea of her being a mother again. It was the first time she touched his hand, and she could deny it until her grave, it was the first time she felt something for the Cylons, because it was part her.

Kara closed her eyes as Leoben's hand touched her face. She tried to look away from him, but he didn't let her. Her breathing became short, like someone was wrapping their hands around her throat squeezing it. She could feel his warm breath down her neck, his eyes staring at her frozen body.

He leaned in closer to her body pinning her up against the wall. "I do love you."

There was nothing she could do to move away from him now. Lords of Kobol hear my prayer...
