2 is Better than 1?

"I see you guys have awaken," Katsha laughed." Now, who want's to be the first to die."
"Well, that's a bit too dramatic." John whispered.
Katsha look around the room, then pointed to someone. Everyone turned to see her victim.
"How about you..."
Now
"How about you...John Sheppard."
Rodney gasped, looking at John, then back to Katsha. Teyla was surprised and was covering her mouth in shock. Ronon was staring angrily at Katsha, clutching his fist so hard that his knuckles were white. Elizabeth stood up.
"No..don't take him, take me. I'm the leader of the expedition..whatever you think he knows, I might know...but- please -don't kill him." Elizabeth said, begging the woman to let John live. Luckily, for Elizabeth, Katsha called Lekio, and they both started talking, but then that luck changed.
"Me and Lekio have come to a decision. We'll take both of you..but spare one. Unless Dr. Weir changes her mind..." Katsha glared at Elizabeth, then back to John.
Elizabeth was rethinking what to do and say next when John stood up as well.
"Elizabeth..don't do it. We could still protect Atlantis or whatever they want. Don't risk your own life to save mine," John whispered to Elizabeth, assuring her that it was okay.
It wasn't okay. They both knew that they couldn't live without each other..and they both knew that Elizabeth wouldn't let anyone kill John..and John knew that she would risk her life for him.
"John, this is my choice." she said, quickly. They looked at each other in the eyes for a quick second- which felt like an eternity to them -then turned to Katsha and Lekio.
"Have you made your decision, yet? Lekio asked, crossing both her arms over her chest.
"Yes..I'm coming with John, but-" she said.
"Okay...now, let's go!" Katsha interrupted, while the guards approached Elizabeth and John, and grabbed them.
In a few seconds, they were both knocked out.
John woke up first, with a throbbing headache. 'What happened..where am I?' he thought. In a second, he had remembered what had happen. They were captured- by Lekio and Katsha -, Katsha chose him to die, and Elizabeth had risked her own life and went with him.
"'Lizabeth?" John called out. The room was either dark, or he was temporarily blind.
"J-John? Is that you?" another female voice asked. John could hear something moving towards him.
"Elizabeth? Are you okay?"
"Yes...I was probably awake- I think -about 2 hours ago...I couldn't find y-you...it's so dar-dark" Elizabeth's voice began to break.
"Oh...I'm sorry."
"It's okay, at least you're here, now."
They were always comfortable with each other, always told each other their opinions, thoughts, and secrets. But they only secret they hadn't told each other, was that they 'loved' each other.
The door- which was shaped like a small gate -opened and Katsha walked in.
"It seems that both of you have awaken," Katsha smirked. She walked forward, but left some distance between them just in case John and Elizabeth were going to attack her.
"Why are you doing this?" John frowned at her.
Katsha just ignored his question and continued.
"Here is your lunch. You will only get 3 servings each day. So, you might have to share your food. We want answers. Give us the locations of your worlds, you will be spared. Give us your mighty weapons- from your worlds-, you shall both earn full meals for each day. If you don't tell us anything or don't cooperate with us, we will torture you until you die." Katsha finished, walking out of the door before Elizabeth or John could reply.
A guard came up to them, put a dish- covered with a piece of cloth -onto the floor, pressed a button- which turned on the lights, and locked the door. His footsteps disappeared in a few minutes.
On the dish was a few pieces of bread, small amount of chicken, and a medium-sized cup of water.
Ronon banged his hands onto the bar angrily.
"It's not going to work..." Rodney grumbled, telling Ronon for the 6th time.
"At least I'm doing something!" Ronon shouted back.
"Stop it," Teyla told them.
All three of them were still trapped, but mostly mad at their captors.
Elizabeth and John shared their meal. They both split the meal they got into halves. For the water, they did the same. After eating, Elizabeth and John both sat in the corner. The room was cold, so they just huddled up together, but tried keep their distance.
The light had started to flicker and other people voices were fading away.
"Do you think..that we are every going to get out of here?" Elizabeth asked, staring into his eyes. He smiled warmly.
"Hopefully," John said. Her head rested on his shoulder, tucked perfectly. His head was on top of hers.
The room was now silent, and the only sounds were their breaths. John scooted a bit closer to Elizabeth. She noticed, but was too tired to comment. She yawned and turned her body so that she was closer to him.
"Goodnight, John."
"Goodnight, 'Lizabeth."
