Stargate Atlantis story
Disclaimer: I don't own anything apart from Melissa as she is my character.
Chapter 2 – who is she?
It was like any other planet. There were trees that were tall and stood out against the background. They blocked out the view from the mountains. You could hear water running from a stream. The birds were twittering as they flew over the gate.
The gate activated and out stepped SGA1. They took sight of everything.
"Well, this is just great". "It's like any other planet." "How is it supposed to have a power source that could help us?" asked Colonel John Sheppard.
"I don't know" McKay said looking around and looking at the energy readings coming from North West of them. "The energy surges coming from that way." He said indicating.
They all set off, walking for hours. They noticed that as they got further away from the gate there was less noise. Birds were hardly ever seen and small rodents were scurrying away from the mountains. They were at the edge of the mountains. When Ronan saw a cave in the distance.
"Sheppard." He said catching John's attention. "There is a cave over there."
John looked around.
"Let's go check it out," he said, taking up his gun.
The strolled over to the cave. Rodney's device started beeping stronger. He indicated into the cave.
"The powers source is in there."
They walked into the cave. The entrance was long and narrow. The walls were covered in green moss. They came to a turning in the caves. It was darker here then at the entrance. They switched on there torches.
"Colonel," said Teyla, shinning the torch at the wall.
They all walked over to it. There was blood and handprints on the wall. As if someone was seriously hurt. They kept walking for a few more meters. CRUNCH. Rodney had trod on something. He shined the light on the floor.
"Sheppard," he nearly screamed.
"What is it McKay?" Sheppard said swinging around to face him.
"Look." McKay said, shinning the torch on the ground.
It was a body. A dead wraith that had been there for a while. It was badly decomposed and looked like most of its skin had been eaten off.
"Let's keep moving," Sheppard said walking away. "But keep your eyes open."
They kept walking for another 200 meters. When they heard it. The gentle tickling of water. It was coming from a couple of meters to there right.
"Do you hear that?" Ronan asked.
They all nodded. They strolled over to the wear they could hear the water. Light began to show through the tunnels. They could see foot prints along the dirt on the floor. They followed the light and they came to an entrance. The water sounds were becoming stronger and stronger as they got to the edge of the light. They steeped through the cave entrance.
It was magical. There was an entrance at the sealing of the cave, which allowed light to enter. There was a logon of water that was heated from below the surface. There were different colours of flowers littering the floor of the cave, decorating it. The grass was lush and thick. There were three large boulders that strode out against the grass. They were quite big, that allowed someone to hide behind. Ronan walked to behind one of the boulders, where he saw it.
She was curled up in a ball. She had cuts and bruises all over her skin. He turned around and yelled out.
"Sheppard!"
John swivelled his head and looked towards Ronan.
"What?" he shouted back.
"Get over here," it was like an order.
John walked over to where Ronan was. What he saw stumped him. He went still. It was her. The girl from his dreams. He reached down towards her to feel her pulse. If it was there. It was. It was faint and weak. But it was there.
Rodney and Teyla walked over to see what was going on. John rolled her over. What he saw shocked him. Her face was cut down her left cheek. It ran from the tip of her ear top the corner of her jaw. Her eyes were swollen and black. Her hair had streaks of white in them. But it was only her fringe that did. John turned towards the others of the group.
"We need to get her to Atlantis."
They all nodded. Ronan picked her up. She moaned from pain. Or at least that's what they thought.
They went through the caves and headed towards the gate. The trees were becoming thinner and the grass was reappearing. Rodney ran ahead with Teyla and dialled the gate. Ronan and John appeared just as the gate. Rodney sent their IDC and told them to have a medical team on standby.
Teyla walked through the gate first. Then Rodney after making sure that the others was coming. Ronan and Sheppard walked in together. The mixed colours of the wormhole making them fell dizzy.
They walked through the gate. Soldiers were armed and ready to fight. Just in case something came through with them.
When the gate shut down and they saw the girl in Ronan's arms, they lowered their weapons.
Ronan stepped towards the medics and lowered the girl to the stretcher. Doctor Keller stepped forward and took control. They took her straight to the infirmary. Colonel Carter stepped forward.
"What happened?" she asked.
"We found some caves and explored them." "When we came to a clearing and she was there, completely out of it and injured." Ronan said, being very forthcoming.
John was quite during this, starring at the corridor where she had left.
"Ok, we'll debrief in four hours," carter said.
They all nodded.
John dropped of his weapons and walked to the infirmary. He saw her. She had wires and tubes coming out of her. She had an oxygen mask on. Every so often he could hear a beep. He strolled over to where she lay. Sheppard sat down on a chair next to the bed and took her hand. It was smooth and had cuts all over it. But it still felt like it did in the dreams.
"John?" Keller asked, noting the way his shoulders were slumped.
Sheppard jumped. He hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings. He turned towards and noted that nobody else was around. He looked into her eyes.
"It's her." "The girl from my dreams," he said, scared.
