Here is the next chapter. I do not own Stargate Atlantis. Sorry for the long delay. My life is very busy I am hoping to update more often now that things are settling down. Thanks for being patient with me. Enjoy :)
Ally glanced at her brother for a second before he nodded. She licked her dry lips and went to stand at the entrance of the beaten down building. The trap was set, now all she hopped was that they five people would fall for it. She saw them walk into the Statue of Liberty; once again the brown haired man looked annoyed.
'Does he not realize how lucky he is? I would kill to see the inside of the famous landmark. I would kill to sleep in a warm bed without anyone near me. Does he not see how easy his life is?' Ally lowered her eyes as she felt the tears come. She forced them back and began to clear her head. She pushed her hair behind her ears, today was the chance of a life time to get something that they could sell at a real jewelers shop.
Todd was bored out of his mind. The famous statue was nothing but taking a walk inside a women's body. How strange humans were! The boat ride made him uneasy on his feet and having humans so close yet so far made him sick. McKay on the other hand was not too sure about the crowd. Too many people were in this small area for his taste. Once the trip was over Ronon wanted food and began to question McKay about the café across the street.
"You just ate Ronon!" McKay snapped angrily.
Todd was glad to be on the main land again. He glanced away from the others and could not believe his eyes. It was that girl again. She was looking right at him. He knew the look was a challenge. He gladly accepted the threat and ignored the bickering of the others. He walked towards her ignoring the pushing of the crowd and as soon as he was about twenty yards from her she disappeared into the old building. He heard John yell at him to come back but his mind was more curious about the female who lived with rats.
"Todd get your ass back here!" John yelled as he started after the runaway wraith. The crowd got thickener and soon John lost sight of the wraith.
"Shit, Ronon can you see him?" John asked as Ronon began to skim the crowd.
"No, I cannot." Ronon began to shove his way through the crowd and just before Todd disappeared into the building he saw him.
"There! He went this way." Ronon once more took the lead and graved people to pull them out of the way.
Todd was now in the building and he saw the girl standing in the middle of the room. Her back was to him which showed nothing but disrespect. His anger showed as he marched towards her. Suddenly something hit him hard in the back. He stumbled forward but did not fall. He turned half expecting to see John but instead there was a young boy behind him. The boy had pulled a rope that cashed the object to fall onto his back. He growled with anger as he began to stalk towards him.
"Did you really think that would bring me down?" He snapped as he saw the boys face change from boasting to fear.
"What the hell are you?" The boy dropped the rope before backing off.
Todd looked confused as he looked down. Instead of having human hands his claws were showing. He could see his feeding slit and the ancient device was no longer on his wrist.
"Well sense I am no longer human I might as well take advantage of it." Todd mumbled as he walked towards the fresh meat. He graved the kid by his throat and just as he was about to feed something went right through his left leg. He snarled and spun around to see the girl and his so called team mates come in to join the party. The girl had thrown a dagger through his thigh. He dropped the boy and dropped to his knee as pain shot through him.
"Grave the girl!" John shouted as he ran towards Todd. Teyla graved the girl by her shirt and pulled her towards the group while Ronon graved the boy. The boy twisted and tried to break free but to no prevail.
"Let me go!" Jason shouted as he managed to get a hold of the hair of the man who held him hostage. The man brought his elbow right into Jason's stomach. Jason fell forward and landed with a gasp of pain.
Ally was shoved forward to land on the floor right beside her brother. They both looked up at the adults that glared down at them. Ally glanced at the creature that was now pulling the dagger out. She watched with astonishment as the wounded began to heal almost immediately.
"Wha…" Ally looked at her brother who had blood rolling down the side of his face. Anger was in his eyes as he gripped a rock in his left hand.
"So we met again. My name is John. Let us not get started off the wrong foot right now, k?" John looked down at the two teens. The girl seemed amassed while the boy looked ready to kill.
"What are we going to do with them? They saw him." Rodney looked at Todd who still was in his wraith form.
"Speaking of which," John spun around and slammed his fist against the wraith face, "Don't you ever do that again. Next time, I will shoot you."
Todd snorted, "I think that hurt you more than it did me." John bit down on his lip before returning his attention to the kids.
"What are we going to do now? We have to kids who saw you. Look at what you have done!" John snapped angrily as Teyla pulled the girl to her feet. The boy remained on the ground.
"I could get rid of them for you." Todd smiled slightly as the kids glanced at him.
"What do you mean get rid of?" Ally shook as she spoke. She never got caught. This was it; her brother and she were going to get separated forever.
"Don't worry about. My name is Teyla, can you tell me yours?" Teyla smiled warmly at the girl.
"No." Ally snapped back.
"Look first thing is first give us back what you stole." While Ronon spoke he graved the boy and forced him to his feet. The girl handed over the strange device that was no longer just a watch.
The two kids stood together as the five adults began to put the device back where it belonged. Ally glanced at Jason who nodded. Ally took off running for the nearest exit. Ronon went after her but the boy graved him by his hair and forced him back. John graved the boy waiting for him to take off but he never did.
"So much for the stupid baby." Jason blinked back tears as he realized he would never see his sister again. He watched as she made her escape through a broken window. He exhaled as he knew he was going to jail and his sister would be living on the streets by herself with no one to protect her. Jason closed his eyes and tears began to form, this was his entire fault.
"You are hurting him!" McKay shouted at John who glanced at the boy. As soon as he released the arm the boy fell to his knees.
"Take me to jail but leave my sister alone." He managed to get out before he began to cry.
John looked at Teyla who shook her head no. John nodded and took pity on the kids.
"Look if you tell me your name I won't take you to jail." John answered swiftly.
"Jason, I do not have a last name if you are wondering." He inhaled deeply wondering if Jake would finally finish him when he got home.
"No last name. Is it not normal for humans not to have a last title?" Todd asked as he glanced at the boy who he now noticed had cuts all over his body.
John ignored Todd as he pulled the boy to his unsteady feet.
"We need to find your sister. It is not safe for her to be out here alone at night." John spoke as the boy looked at him in confusion.
"Why are you helping us? Is this a trap to get both of us to jail or whatever?" Jason asked as he looked at the five people.
"No, you just saw too much so we need to keep an eye on you two." John said as he turned away, "By the way that is Ronon, Teyla, Todd, and McKay." As he spoke he pointed each one out.
Jason nodded hesitantly as he followed the group out of the building. He watched as the sun began to set. He knew he was running out of time. Once ally and he did not return home Jake would call the cops. Jason had to find Ally before they did.
Ally ran until she was out of breath. Her heart was pounding and she watched as the stars began to come up one by one. Her hear felt heavy as she wondered if her brother got away from those people… and that thing. Whatever that thing was she hopped she would never have to see it again.
Ally glanced at the house where Jake was probably drinking and smoking. She heard music coming from it and she knew he was having some type of party. Ally was not entering the house. She went the back way and climbed through a window in the basement. She was here to grave one thing and that was the money jar. There was probably a good hundred dollars in there.
Ally wondered how Jake had the money to create such a party as she began to look through the cracks in the wall for the jar. She frowned as she was unable to find the money. Fear gripped her as she wondered if Jason moved it without telling her.
"Looking for something?" Ally spun around to see Jake standing behind her holding a jar… the money jar. It was empty and Jake had a glare in his eyes.
"You were hiding money from me." He slurred his words carelessly as he stumbled forwards.
Ally dared not to scream for one the music would drown out the neighbors from hearing and his friends might hear and come to see what the commotion was about.
"You had a lot of money in here. I used it for this really greatest party. Don't you think it's great? The only thing I could not get was entertainment. It seems that the leisure came on its own though." Jake began to laugh as he made a grave for Ally.
Ally graved an old rocking chair and chucked it at Jake's head. He screamed as it made its contact and of course his drunken friends came down to find blood. Ally knew she was in trouble now as Jake screamed to grave her and one of the people called the cops.
Ally struggled against the man who held her as sirens and lights came into view. In the corner of her eyes she saw Jason with a horrified expression on his face.
"Stay away! Get away from here!" Ally screamed as tears ran down her face.
Jason was about to jump up and run to his sister when John graved his arm.
"Let me go! I have to help her!" Jason felt tears in his eyes as he watched his sister forced into a cop car.
"Look we cannot do anything right now. Wait until tomorrow morning. I promise we will get her back." John felt the boy give one last pull before he gave up. Jason's throat tightened as the car drove away. He wanted to run and kill those men. He wanted his sister back.
Jason felt his anger turn to the man who had held him back. He spun towards John and went to punch him in the face.
"Stop it boy, this is not helping anything." John said gently as Jason gasped and wimped.
"I could have saved her." The five adults moved away as rain started to fall.
Jason stood alone on 53th street as rain mixed with tears on his worn face.
In the cop car Ally sat watching the rain hit off the vehicle.
With each strike of lighting it showed tears of sadness and failure flowing down…
This is it for right now. Hopefully the next chapter will be up really soon
