Chapter Nine: Meeting Rafe

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters from anything.

Note: I was thinking of the movie for 'Blood and Chocolate', not the book.

When we flew through the gate, we were on a planet that was surrounded by

forest. John, Rodney, Ronon, and, unfortunately, Carson looked out the window.

Oih! Toms! I thought. I saw a clearing ahead and piloted the Jumper towards it. Once we were on the ground, we exited the Jumper.

"Too bad it's not daytime," I said.

"Yeah! That way, it would be warmer than it is now," Rodney complained.

"Rodney," Teyla said, "It could be freezing cold and snowing."

"She's right," Ronon agreed with her. "But then he would be complaining even more."

"Aye, that he would," Carson agreed.

"All right kids, settle down, before Rodney starts complaining about how hungry he is," John said.

"Hey!" Rodney said. "Oh sure, pick on the scientist, will you?"

While they were arguing, I scented a Twoleg scent quite a distance away.

"Come on, toms, let's get moving….before Ronon gets trigger happy."

Ronon had a smirk on his face. I lead the way while listening to Rodney complain about how Zelenka won't admit that he isn't smarter than him, how his life is miserable, how hungry he is, and all of those other boring things. Too bad I didn't have some of duct tape, as the Cullens called it. Then, by magic or sheer stupid-ness, Rodney cut himself on a sharp rock.

"Ow!"

"Are you all right?" I stepped forward. As I did, a wolf instinct came over me as I smelled the blood, and I moved backwards.

"Cheyene, are you all right?" John stood in front of a bush.

I sensed that another animal, most likely a wolf, was behind John. I started to growl at the animal, but John took it the wrong way.

"Take it easy now," he said.

I saw that the wolf was not going to give up so easily. I tuned to face John and the wolf behind him, the military knife I always carry drawn.

"Cheyene. Take it easy. It's me, John," he said, backing away.

The other wolf jumped out from behind John. As I moved out of the wolf's path, I scraped it side with the knife. Bring it on!

I heard John say to Ronon: "Ooh! Dog wrestling! I always wanted to see one, but I never had the money to go. I wonder…." John pulled out of his pocket what they called 'popcorn'. "Ooh!" He sat on a flat rock and began eating the popcorn. Then, he asked Carson, "Do you have anything to drink?"

Carson shook his head and tossed him a can of some sort.

"Ooh! Canned beer!"

"Aren't we going to do anything about that?"

"Hmm… Do you want to make Cheyene mad when she has a knife?"

TOMS! I thought.

Then, the other wolf finally attacked me. I dodged its attacks, and attacked myself. After a while, it got a good grip on my knife. I got it loose and quickly plunged it into its side. It jumped back and I stepped into the moonlight. There was something about me being in the moonlight that made the wolf look at me, surprised. The other wolf jumped off of a tree and turned into a human.

"Cousin?" It, he, asked.

I moved back and joined my team. Carson tended to my wound.

"Cousin?" Rodney repeated. "He's your cousin?"

"Apparently so," I said.

Then, a girl and another boy came into the clearing.

"Rafe, there you are. We've been looking everywhere for you," the girl said.

"Vivi, you don't have to worry about me," Rafe replied.

"Yes, Vivian does. We could get us all killed if you're not careful," the boy replied.

"Aiden, stay out of this," Vivian said. She looked at us. "Who are they?"

"Only stupid pieces of meat," Rafe said.

"Okay, just for that, I'm going to stab you in your face!" Carson had to hold my right arm and Ronon held my left, as I tried to attack him.

Vivian slowly turned to face Rafe. "You're going to die. She's the one." She turned to us. "Come, we must get you back before… they come."

Vivian, Rafe, and Aiden led the way while we followed, alert. We saw Vivian, Rafe and Aiden disappear. We were shocked for a moment.

Then, Rodney said, "It's a cloak and a shield. Amazing."

We stepped through the cloak/shield and found an entire village in it. Children were running around and having fun. We followed Vivian, Rafe, and Aiden to a big mansion. They sat down at a big table. We sat down also. They were talking to each other, when something above us swooped by. I scented the air. Ronon had his gun out, ready to fire.

"You can come down now," I called.

"Who are you talking to?" John asked.

Suddenly, four teenage boys fell down from the ceiling. They gathered around Rafe.

"And you would be…?" I asked.

"We are 'The Five'," Rafe said. "The best werewolf group there is."

"I think you mean the stupidest group there is. Who would call themselves 'The Five'?" I smirked.

Rafe gave me an I-hate-you look. I just looked at him back calmly. Rafe told his gang to go outside.

Then, Teyla finally said something. "John, I think it's time to go."

"Aye, I agree with Telya. I want to make sure Cheyene isn't that badly hurt," Carson added.

I followed my team outside. Ronon, John, and Carson were trying to help me out.

"Guys! I'm fine! It's just my arm!" I told them, slightly irritated.

"You lost a lot of blood," Carson tried to convince me.

We left the village behind us. We talked on our way back to the Gate. I had to run away from Ronon, John, and Carson. When we were about five feet away from the gate, the gate started dialing automatically. We all looked at Rodney.

"I'm not doing anything!" He argued.

"Well, then, whats going on?" John demanded.

"I don't know… yet. Have you thought it could be Cheyene with her super Ancient Gene."

"True." John looked at me. "Cheyene, stop messing with the controls."

I looked hard at him. "Can we go now?" I asked, pointing to the Stargate.

"Sure" John lead the way through the gate.
