CHAPTER TWO: WRAITH DARTS
Ronon arrived first in a small clearing and stopped. Mulder wasn't far behind him. Scully, Sheppard and Teyla pulled up behind him. McKay came last, puffing and panting.
Scully looked down at the body, it was aged just like the others but it had a fresh bloody handprint on its chest.
"Definitely wraith," commented Sheppard, he turned expectantly to Mulder.
"It went that way," Ronon told him pointing away from the village.
"Right, well we can't let it get too far ahead," said Sheppard.
Scully realised they were going to go after this 'wraith'.
"I'm coming," said Mulder.
"You don't seriously believe an alien di this," complained Scully.
"It did," Sheppard told her, then turned to Mulder. "You're not coming."
"Yes I am. This alien is mine, me and my partner are on this case so I'm coming," announced Mulder.
Sheppard raised an eyebrow. "You're partner doesn't think wraith exist."
"Mmm," agreed McKay. "She'll probably get the life sucked out of her while she tries to explain to the wraith why it can't be real."
Scully felt quite insulted.
"Sheppard, we need to go if we're gonna catch up with it," grunted Ronon.
"Coming," Sheppard answered. "You two stay here." He told Mulder and Scully.
Scully watched as the four people ran off again, this time following Teyla and Ronon. Mulder looked at her.
"Take a look at the body," he told her and jogged after the others.
"Mulder!" called Scully after him, but Mulder was already gone. She sighed and got to work examining the body.
Sheppard swore as they discovered the wraith dart.
"Damn! If this is here there could be more wraith!"
"Is that a spaceship?" asked Mulder in awe.
"No, it's a building," retorted McKay sarcastically. "Sheppard, the FBI man followed us."
"You left your partner alone?" questioned Sheppard.
Mulder shrugged. "Scully can look after herself. Besides, you said the wraith went this way."
"Sheppard," said Ronon examining the ground. "There are at least five wraith and none of them are here right now."
"Teyla?" asked Sheppard.
"I am sensing six wraith but they are too far away for me to pinpoint their location," Teyla told him.
"McKay, life signs," ordered Sheppard.
"Fine. Okay, five of them are in the opposite direction to the town and the other is… uh oh."
"What?" asked Sheppard as Mulder stared at the wraith dart.
"The other is stalking Scully the sceptical FBI agent," explained McKay.
That snapped Mulder out of his awe. "It's creeping up on Scully?"
"It'll take too long to get back," said Ronon.
"We have to try!" exclaimed Mulder.
Sheppard looked thoughtfully at the wraith dart.
"Don't even think about it," warned McKay.
"I'd get there quickly," protested Sheppard.
"And everyone in the town would see a spaceship!" McKay reminded him.
"I'll keep it just above the trees," Sheppard told him and climbed into the wraith dart.
Mulder stared. "He's going to fly it?!"
McKay ignored him. "Sheppard!!"
The wraith dart took off.
"Oh fantastic," muttered McKay.
Scully took out her gun and aimed it at the strange creature that was advancing on her. Part of her still refused to believe it. There was not an alien coming to suck the life out of her with its hand, it had to be a costume, a mask, but it was not an alien.
"Stop where you are!" she yelled. "I am armed and I will shoot!"
The creature jumped and, impossibly, landed right in front of her. Scully shot it in the shoulder and it hissed and knocked the gun from her hand. Scully punched it. The creature (not alien) hit her with its left hand. Scully cried out as she flew through the air and landed five metres away. Whatever it was, it had serious muscles.
She dazedly tried to get back to her feet, but before she could it lifted off the ground and into the air by her throat and drew back its right hand.
"This is not happening," choked out Scully.
The creature suddenly paused. A high pitched whine pierced the air. The wraith (no not wraith, it was not an alien), looked up and dropped her on to the ground with another angry hiss.
Scully rolled away from it and looked up to.
"No way," she complained. "No frikkin' way."
A long pointy spaceship was making the whining sound. It flew to towards her, a white beam extending down from it.
Scully grabbed her gun and was about to make a run for it when the beam passed over her and she blacked out.
Seconds later a second dart passed over the clearing, turned and followed the first.
Authors Note: Okay, before i post another chapter I still want reviews, just to know people are still reading. Sorry if Mulders character's wrong, i've never written x-files before.
