Chapter 3

Mulder looks down at his sleeping partner, who is cradled in his arms. He's very worried about her. He thinks about what Scully had told him just an hour ago. Mulder sighs and strokes her hair.

He knows that he has to talk to the doctor about what Scully had told him, but he wants to talk to Scully about it at first. Mulder wants to know everything that had happened to her and he wants to make sure that he can believe her.

Suddenly Scully stirs in her sleep. Sweat shows up on her forehead.

"No. No...please don't..." She mutters, pleadingly.

"Scully? Scully, I need you to wake up. It's just a dream." Mulder says, loudly. But she doesn't wake up. Instead she starts shaking.

"Scully! Come on, Scully. Wake up!" She begins shaking violently.

"Oh god...Doctor! I need help!" Mulder shouts as loud as he can. A few seconds later a doctor enters the room.

"Please get away from her." He says to Mulder, who climbs out of bed quickly.

"She's seized up. Get him out!" The doctor says to a nurse

"Please...help her," Mulder says, shakily. "Please."

30 minutes later. Mulder is sitting on a chair in the hallway. Skinner is sitting next to him.

"She told me that she has been captured by two men a week ago..." Mulder says, breaking the silence.

"That's impossible." Skinner just says.

"I know... She had a nightmare just before she seized up." Mulder tells him.

"Do you think that she just dreamed of being captured?"

"Maybe. But what is wrong with her then? I mean, if you have a bad dream you can feel very depressed or miserable. It's normal...but Scully is not just feelig depressed or miserable. It's something else...something must have happened tonight. Scully is such a strong woman...it wasn't just a dream." Skinner nods.

"Did you talk to the doctor about what she had said to you?" Skinner asks.

"No..." He says and shakes his head.

"I'll go talk to him." Skinner says standing up.

"Okay." Mulder nods and Skinner walks away.

Mulder now sitting all by himself. He stares at the door, tears flood his eyes. He just lets them fall, not even trying to fight them back. He closes his eyes and sees Scully's face in front of him. Her beautiful face. Her beautiful red hair.

"Agent Mulder...?" He hears someone say. He quickly opens his eyes. A nurse is talking to him.

"Dana Scully is stabilized. She's awake. You can go to her if you want to." She tells him, smiling slightly.

"Yes. Thank you."

Mulder enters the room and their eyes meet. Scully looks at him, sadly.

"Hey." Mulder says, softly.

"Hey...what happened?" She asks as he walks towards her.

"You seized up and-"

"I know that," She says, quietly. "but what happened to you?"

"What do you mean?" He asks a bit confused.

"Come a little closer, please." She says and Mulder comes closer. She grabs his wrist and pulls him right in front of the bed. "Have a seat." Mulder sits down on the bed and looks at her. She reaches up and caresses his cheeks, who are wet with tears. He sighs. She frowns and wipes them away.

"I was worried." He just says. She nods, understandingly.

"Scully, we still have to talk about what happened."

"I already told you, Mulder. I wanna try to forget about it all..." She tells him, weakly. Mulder shakes his head and sighs.

"I-"

"You don't believe me, do you?" Scully suddenly asks.

"Listen, Scully...I-"

"I can't believe that you don't believe me, Mulder. Why should I lie to you? I'm telling you the truth. I got captured by two men...You believe in extraterrestrial life so why don't you believe this ? I'm telling you the truth, Mulder. I promise."

"I believe you, Scully."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I believe you." He repeats. Scully smiles, weakly. Mulder lies down, facing her. Under the blanket he finds her hand and squeezes it. He leans his forehead against hers for a moment. It comforts her and he knows it. "What did they do to you, Scully?" Mulder asks, softly, stroking her back. At first Scully doesn't say anything. She begins to cry. "Shh...it's all right." He whispers, wrapping his arms around her pulling her close to his body.

"They hit me in the face and stomach and-" She stops, gulping back a sob. "they broke my left wrist. They touched me..."

"Did they rape you?" He asks her, looking deeply into her eyes. She looks away quickly.

"Scully..." He whispers, fearing the worst.

"No! No...they didn't but they wanted to. But they didn't, they just...touched me. I'm afraid of being near someone, I don't like to be touched. You're the only one I trust Mulder, and you're the only one that believes me. I feel safe now that you're here..."

"You know that I could never hurt you." He says.

"Yeah, I know."

"Good." He says, stroking her cheek.

"Close your eyes and get some sleep, Scully. You need to rest." He says, quietly.

"No. I'm afraid of you being gone when I wake up..."

"I'm not going anywhere, Scully. I'll be right here when you wake up." Scully nods and gives Mulder a weak smile. She closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep, while Mulder holds her close.
