NON_EXISTENT WISH CH9

I gasped for air, my lungs filling with much need air as my heart once agian started to pump. My new DNA pumping throughout my body. I have no idea how I knew this but, deep down I Knew that Sebastion would be with me forever, he was one of the thing that I was missing in my life: my gardien tiger!

It was still dark, and most of all I heard was the blood rushing through my ears. Through the rush I could hear a annoying beeping and my chest was itching. Simultaneously I reached out my arms; my right going towards the beeping, trying to shut off my alarm clocks; My left went to my chest, scratching vigorisly, my finger nails made there way underneath something, I pealed it back and the itching almost instently went away. Before my hand could find the alarm clock, the beeping had changed; instead of: Beep!, Beep!, Beep!; it was a": Bbbbeeeeeeeeeeppppppp!

I sat up instently and my mis-matched eyes popped open, causing my vision to swim. Things were grabbing me as I tried to get out of my bed. But this couldn't be my bed; as I almost fell off, those things-hands, I figured grabbed me before I hit the floor, the bed was to narrow; smaller than my twin.

I didn't resist as they lifted my back onto this strange bed; I couldn't get my legs to work properly. Every thing I looked at wasn't quite focused. like looking through a magnifine glass. They things, I figured, must be people, and by now I knew that I wasn't in my small apartment. But than were could I be?

There was mumuring and shouting, but I couldn't focus on it, nothing was familiar. I had no idea were I was, and that scared me. I had to find something familiar, or I was gonna start to panick. I didn't resist as they hooked the itchy things back on my chest. Beep!, beep!, beep!.

I closed my eyes tight-the blury vision not helping one bit and tried to focus. First, I seperated the voices" There was a womens, older,calm,colected and comanding, must be the one in charge of this whole thing, her voice vagually familiar; next was a man, younge like myself, that answered in short sentences to the first woman; another woman, younge like the male, soft spoken but compatent also taking order from the first woman; Than the familiarness that I was looking for: Male, older, The Voice, that was again, as it had been before been filled with concern, concern that should not be there. My eyes snapped open, and my sight started to clear as my eyes searched the room looking for Colonel O'Neill (my heaven). My eyes went past the two females at my side- the moment my eyes past over the older female, I reconized her: Dr. Janet Fraiser, but that didn't matter.- going to were the Colonel was being restrained by the younge male. My eyes howned in on him, tunel vision once again.

"Hi," I whispered softly to him as my mismated met his deep brown. The room turned silent in an instent, all activity stopped as every one started at my, there was an occasional:Beep! everyone in the room gave a liitle gasp of shock, what for, I had no idea. Then:

" Colonel, you need to leave now." Fraiser ordered firmly in a no non-sense voice. The cColonel though was glued to the spot,frozen in shock? An SF came and escorted him out of the room, my eyes watched him as far as they could.

I was so confused at the moment, I didn't even really pay attention as Fraiser got out a Pen light. What I did noticed was when she shind that bright mother right in my eyes, I jeked in total suprise. I saw bright spots for a moment but than they cleared after a few seconds, and I looked Fraiser In they eyes. The soft brown eyes were thoughtful for a moment Before sh said:

"Maddison, take some blood samples." this to the young blond woman, who complied immediatly; getting a needle ready. " Sean, prep the CT, I want a brain scan as soon as possible." the young man nurse left before she even finished her sentece. She moved out of the way as Maddison went to take a vial of my blood for testing.

I stretched out my right arm, amking it easier for her. After that I didn't much pay attention; I looked around the room, finnally guessing what it was: Insolation room. I looked through the glass window leading to the observation room, finding and meeting the Colonel O'Neills worried eyes, I smilled in reasurence; he gave a small smile back. The rest of SG1 were there also, I paid them no mind. Here I felt safe; Sebastion helping me on the inside and Colonel O'Neill keeping me safe on the out side; A Full House.

Fraiser was asking me questions: How do you feel? Does anything hurt? Do you remember what happened? Can you tell me.

She was being nice, so I figured I should be nice back, and answer her question. Even if it would get her of my back for a little while.

I replied: Fine, No, Yes, and It's a long story. - all the while I looked at O'Neill.

"Private," her voice was soft, I titled my head to that side a little, indicating that I was listening." do you have any idea whats happening to you?"

I glanced at her, just for a second, than my eyes made there way back to the Colonel. To tell the truth, I was surprised to say the least; how could she know that I knew. All of SG1 leand forward in there seat,Wanting to hear what I had to say. They must have seen my reaction.

"Yes," I replied shortly, curtly.

"Could you tell me." came back.

"Why?" I questioned, getting suspisious.

"It would help." Fraiser stated.

I turned my full attention toward her- she paid no mind of my mismatched eyes or freckled face any longer, everyone had, before, when I looked at the Colonel, but I assumed that it wasn't my original face; the team was already used to it by now, so it had to be some thing else; could the transformation already be starting?- "There is nothing that needs help." I stated calmly.

"You died!" she said, a little frightend.

I glanced into the obsevation room; a dark look past over the teams faces; maybe reliving the memory. I felt sorry that they had to see that, but I knew that it was coming; Sebastion had told me, I was prepared.

"I know, Doctor."

"What?" It was said in outrage by the whole group; SG1, Fraiser and the nurse. My lips curled into a smile and a little laugh made it's way out of my chest; I couldn't help but laugh at that; despite the situation.

"I know." I repeted, humor in my voice.

"Nick, this is no laughing matter!" Came O'Neills slightly angery voice through the speaker.

I soberd up instantly. "My apologies,Sir." my military mind comming back to join the action.

"How did you know, Nick?" O'Neill asked, his tone blank.

I looked O'Neill in the eye; I knew that I was aloud to tell them, Sebastion wouldn't mind; I knew he wanted to meet them. "Sebastion told me." I answered him without hesitation.

He did thought, Hesitated I mean. "Who's Sebastien, Nick?" I could see every one wanted to know.

"He's my Gardien." I could also tell them that, though they looked confused, so I started to explain. "He is a part of me, my protecter. He will make me stronger, shape me into the animal I will become. He is part of me, in my blood my DNA."

"Maddison, I want you to run that blood state." Fraiser whispered to Nurse Maddison, she scurried out.

I sighed, "Anything you find in my blood isn't going to help a hing, Doctor, and I already know what I am going to change to."

She looked at me with anger; it's not like I was telling her she was a bad Doctor, Jeez! It's stupid; every time you tell the truth people always get angery, acuse some how, it always comes out sounding rude.

"Look," I said, addressing every one,"it will only take about twelve hour for comlession, and than thsi will be all out of your hair, Okay?" I layed back on the bed, closing my dry eyes. After a minute: "It's alraedy started, Right?" I asked, cracked my eyes open just in time to see Fraiser nod her head, I smiled; sharp teeth cutting into my lips; I tasted blood. "Can I see?" I asked eagerly, sitting up on my elbows.

Fraiser nodded and spoke to a SF at the door, asking if he could find her a mirror, he was back moments later carring a good chunk of reflective glass. I sat up fully will Fraiser held the mirror in front of me. Looking into it, i was at first startled at the eyes that met mine in the mirror; they were the same mismatched eyes; one brown the other green; the diference was not that of the colour, but that of the pupil. Instead of having the normal circular pupil, I had black slits; just like Sebastions had been. I smiled, my teeth also had become sharp like his own.

I was going to look beautiful, just like Sebastion. I thanked Fraiser and with one last look at the Colonel, I laid back down. It had only been about twenty minutes sense the transformation started and already this much had changed, I can't wait.

So, let the games begin. Or should I say Shifting begin.
