A/N – just a meaningless fan-fic with some of my favourite Wraiths. Also note this isn't going to appear in my other Stargate story 'season 1' ect. Just a pure good-ie green-ie Wraith story.
Disclaimer - Two characters appearing in chapter are not mine. However i have permission from their creator to use them in this chapter. The Character Shawn isn't mine either, but Lidia is.
[ ] - Wraith or telepathic talk
{ } – flashbacks or dreams
( ) – thoughts
Todd came into full view of the receiving screen as he sat down at the communication station, bare-chested but covered bellow, his hair was a dirty white mane, and the famous starburst tattoo was still hosted around his left eye. No, Commander Todd hadn't changed abit.
"So, Commander, how may I assist you?" Todd asked as he leaned back slightly. His posture obviously showed he was far more relaxed than normal. Shawn swore he heard Todd purring over the communiqué. He was definitely pleased over something some-thing.
"Well…I have recently acquired a worshipper. However I am completely clueless as to what to do next" Shawn explained, running a hand through his hair in irritation. However Todd's head cocked to the side, ever so slightly, as if confused.
"Congratulations, finally become a real male……..What do you mean 'What to do next'? Well what do you think worshippers are for? Honestly Shawn, you're a commander now. Act like one! Talk to her, cuddle with her. Anything, she is your worshipper now" Todd grumbled, clicking his neck into place
Shawn growled at Todd's statement. "I know all that! It's just…I just took her from her home planet, a few hours ago. And she won't…'do' anything. She barely talks, barely even looks at me. Now I am a gentleman. I will not force my-self upon her, but I don't know how to actually…bond with her. And it's eating away at me. This is my first worshipper, so do give me some credit. What options do I have available?"
Todd looked thoughtful for a moment. "The give 'n' take forms a deep bond between Wraith and worshipper almost instantly" he empathized his point by giving a quick snap of his fingers.
A pillow came flying from behind Todd and suddenly hit the back of hiss head, startling both him and Shawn. Two figures behind Todd became visible, after rising from the bed and slowly made their way to Todd, one each resting upon his shoulders, two females. Possibly, or most likely, Todd's two famous and forever charming worshipers. Babs and Debs. Loyal ladies yet deadly femme fatales…Two names that live on in worshipper history! As some of the few female worshippers to actually find love amongst the Wraith.
"You can't do Suck 'n' Puck straight away dummy!" Babs, the tall red headed beauty on Todd's right, said, slightly flicking his ear after as punishment for his earlier statement
"Babs is right. A relation with no foundation is bound to crumble." Added the equally as beautiful Debs whose head rested on Todd's right, while her fingers had teased into Todd's twisted locks of hair. She soon started twiddling each lock in-between her fingers affectionately
Todd greeted his gorgeous ladies with a peek on the cheeks while they tried to fix their messy bed hair, as well as his own.
Babs was the tall, Amazon warrior type, with a well built body that was wrangled into a lean form as well. Her eyes were like emeralds, framed with the blazing red locks of her hair. Debs on the other hand was a few inches shorter than Babs, but still far taller than most females. Another uncommon feature of hers was her hair, the color that rivalled even a Wraith's. It was a pure river of white snow, with a pair of sapphire eyes that were just a few shades darker than Lidia's. Their complexions were fair and flawless with not a wrinkle or crow's feet in sight. Todd was indeed a very lucky Wraith. Many would kill to have such females worship them. But Babs and Debs had spoken. Todd was their one and only. And he knew better than to take them for granted.
Shawn felt like pounding his head in. But he kept his anger under control. "If we could be as so kind as to return to our previous conversation…what should I do?!" he hissed
Todd, Babs and Debs all stared at him blankly for a few moments before he finally recomposed himself.
Babs pushed Todd aside slightly and took up most of the screen.
"Alright, listen 'Fancy Pants'" Babs began "Let the girl settle in for a day or two. Then start talking to her, find out about her past, maybe her interests. Let it go from there"
Debs took over "Don't try and act like a big tough Wraith. Don't command. Simply ask. And keep that temper of yours under control. One hit from you could kill her, and that wouldn't be good, would it?"
Shawn's gut tightened at the thought. He shook his head in silence to counter her statement. So far their advice was the only information he had access to concerning relations between worshipers and Wraith. But Shawn needed to alter the advice slightly. As he promised him-self before, he didn't want to grow affectionately fond of Lidia. He kept her alive, so she could serve him. Simply as that…at least…that's what he kept telling him-self.
"Well…if that's all Commander, I have a bed growing cold and two worshippers to snuggle with. Good luck" Todd said as her rose from his seat, pulling Babs and Debs into a warming hug before they retreated back.
"Wait!" Shawn called through the communication desk. "What causes a human, especially a woman, to become unresponsive in life, unlike others?"
"A poor sex life?" Debs giggled, soon hushed by Babs who had a more serious face on.
"Possible past abuse… traumatic experiences… rule no. 1 when dealing with a woman with a dark past. Don't. 'Dig'. She will tell you when she's ready. If you force her to tell you…then you're just as bad as her abuser."
Shawn, Todd and Debs seemed surprised by the insightful and philological statement just made. Babs reputation proceeded her, she was indeed as wise as the Wraith whom she worshipped.
"Explain…" Shawn pressed with curiosity flaring in his golden slit eyes.
Babs sighed, with a roll of her eyes. "You would be resurfacing old wounds…making her relive those traumatic memories. Causing her to suffer. Understand, 'Fancy Pants'?"
Shawn just nodded shallowly resisting the urge to twitch and the unflattering nickname. And before he could say anything else, Debs switched off the communications while Babs gave Shawn a brief farewell wave, as the screen was going blank, just as Todd and his worshippers were beginning another mid-night kissing frenzy. Shawn sat silently for a moment, processing what words had been exchanged while also trying to rewrite them within his mind to better accommodate him and his professional thinking.
(Let her settle in…Talk to her abit…But must keep it professional. Can't go soft, especially for a mere human female…even if she was the finest human female he'd ever seen…)
Lidia was finally dressed by Helene, in a very flattering pale blue number, with long sleeves and thick material to fight to cold, but it was pleasing to the eye. A male's eye anyway. Helene was passing around the room while Lidia just sat on the bed silently. Helene had begun to mumble while she paced, with Lidia's eyes following her every moment. Helene was mentioning something about getting chores done, fixing the queen's underling skirt, not to mention she had to teach her apprentice how to stitch double under-tuck threads into a multiple linen fabric. It meant nothing to Lidia. She never learned how to sow. What surprised her was the fact that Helene was so old, yet had to bare so much work…Lidia didn't want to keep the poor woman behind any longer.
"You can leave if you want…just…lock the doors after you leave, please" Lidia said her soft feather touched voice
Helene stopped in her tracks and looked over at Lidia sitting on the bed. She really was considering it. Lidia just nodded to assure her.
"I'm sure Sha-…I mean, the Commander, will be back soon. I won't go anywhere."
Lidia looked so innocent. Sitting like a child, patiently waiting with her hands in her lap.
Helene gave a sharp nod of her head and collected her things. "Stay quiet and don't draw anyone's attentions here, understand? If a Wraith really wanted to get in here, he could, even if it was locked to begin with."
Lidia just nodded. Helene didn't look back, she just left.
(For an old woman she sure did move fast…)
The door shut and locked firmly into place, merging with the wall around it until it seemed like the door never existed. After a few moments in silence Lidia laid down on the bed, instantly feeling the soft support, as if underneath the organic layer was a large quantity of water, filling the sponge like mattress. Giving her the sensation she was sleeping on a cloud as she laid down comfortably. Sleep was far too hard to resist. Slowly her eyes began to flutter close as she stared up out the window at the stars in the natural master-piece called deep space. Her mind was a drift. Unknowingly unearthing forbidden memories she had fought so long and hard to forget. But the truth always had a way of getting out. No matter what…
{There was crying. Lidia's. She was young…hiding under her old kitchen table. Mother was in the floor bleeding, staring right at her in an unblinking gaze. It was the only thing she would do while she lay dying. Mother's pearls had broken off her necklace and were scattered all over the newly cleaned floor. Some had even been swept in by the red tide of her blood as it spread out, exiting her body and leaking onto the floor. Someone was standing over the body, with a bloodied knife in hand. The same Knife used to slit her Mother's throat, from ear to ear.A long gash, just not deep enough to kill her quickly...
Though Lidia couldn't see his face, she knew who he was. He always said to Lidia's Mother,- 'one day your greed will be your death'.
Mother liked expensive things…she did anything to gain finical favor…even sell her daughter's talents to the Magistrate as a violin player … mother liked the finer things in life…and she paid for it dearly with her blood}
A/N – there you have it. Our guest stars were Babs and Debs ! other characters from another SG-A fan-fic. The creator was nice enough to grant me permission to use them in this chapter. Maybe they'll be making another début in other chapters.
Part of Lidia's past in revealed. What horrors has she seen? Keep reading and review. Thank you those who have already. Bye. Happy new year
