Hi everyone! This is the "famous" chapter you were all expecting I guess? This chapter 10 is longer than the others. Some of you might enjoyed it better! (I'm joking aubreee, I know you like it even when it's short!) I can't wait to read your reviews!

You found me

Commander Taylor had spent a lot of time with Alexandra. He was still annoyed at Skye for being a spy, even if he knew he owed her his life after Lucas had stabbed him. Though, Alexandra was different. She was clearly happy to spend time with him, talk about everything and learn from him. A month with her and he could consider her as a daughter. She was easy going, smiley and funny girl.

Alexandra had only been allowed to go OTG with the commander and she had enjoyed those times spent together. He reminded her of Lucas. She couldn't say it to him, but he and his son were so similar. and they didn't know it. That was so sad. It made her think about Lucas a lot. Where was he? Was he alright? He was gone, for sure. When she first arrived at Terra Nova, she had the feeling she was a prisoner. But she knew how dangerous the jungle could be. Now she made the most of it, enjoying the jungle, amazed by everything. Taylor had been good to her, he had taken her in, helped her to belong to Terra Nova, and he had succeeded.

She was not allowed to go OTG on her own, of course. But she had already gone OTG before. Only Tasha, Hunter, Josh and Skye knew it. After what had happened that day, they had kept it a secret. Josh, Skye and the others were nice to her, they trusted her. They were friends. They all had decided they could go OTG once a week. Not too far, of course, they didn't want any trouble. They thought being sober was enough to protect them. Hide and seek had been their new game for a week now and today was not an exception. Tasha was always with Hunter. They would protect each other if it was necessary. Skye, Josh and Alexandra could be alone for the game. Josh was counting and they all ran into the jungle. Alexandra knew a hidden place a little bit further away but that would do the trick. She wanted to win. She was running when a voice stopped her.

"Alexandra?"

She was startled and frozen. It wasn't one of her friends voice.

"Alex?"

She turned around and looked for where the voice had come. Suddenly her eyes met his deep green gaze.

"Lucas!" She smiled. She didn't think twice and ran and jumped into his arms. Lucas couldn't do anything other than wrap her in his arms.

"I thought I was never gonna see you again!" She was so happy to see him. "I missed you," she whispered to his ears. It made him tighten his embrace. Her cheek on his, her nose buried in his neck. She smelled his scent. It was as she remembered it. Intense.

Alexandra was the first to break their embrace. She opened her eyes and looked at Lucas, realizing how close he was to her. He had kept his arms around her, pressing her body against his. They stared at each other, breathing loudly, their mouths slightly open. His so amazing intense green eyes stuck on hers. She could feel the warmth of his body warming hers. She was shaking, suddenly overexcited. Lucas gazed quickly at her lips, then back to her eyes, then her lips again. She looked at him deeply before reaching his lips and kissing him. His lips were as she thought, soft and warm. He kissed her back hungrily. They roughly kissed each other. Lucas had one hand in her hair, the other on her waist, pulling her closer to his hips. Her hands grabbed his hair. Their kiss was a mix of pleasure, happiness and excitement from the reunion. They eventually broke their kiss, catching their breath.

She cupped his head in her hands, gently brushing his cheeks with her thumbs. "I thought I'd never see you again", she smiled sadly.

"I promised you I'd come back for you," he said with a crooked smile. She gave him back a genuine smile. Her heart was racing. She was so happy to see him again. And they had just kissed.

Lucas wasn't sure what kind of reaction he would have to seeing her again. She had betrayed him. He had become mad when Mira had told him what had happened. Alexandra had decided to stay with his father at Terra Nova. She was an enemy, a traitor. But when he had seen her huge smile when she had realized he was there, he had just lost it. He had forgotten every single word he wanted to say, he had forgotten how mad he was at her. And when she had run to him, he had felt so thrilled. He had been caught off guard when she had come to him, instead of running away. And their kiss… Her lips were smooth. When they had touched his, his body had been invaded by thousands of sensations. However, he had to punish her for her betrayal. She was his enemy, no matter how happy she was to see him again.

"What?" Alexandra asked with concern, eyes furrowed. His smile had fainted, eyes suddenly dark.

"You betrayed me," he said coldly.

"Me? Betray you?" She asked in disbelief.

"Mira told me everything." He told her.

Alexandra stiffened at the name. She tried to get out of his embrace but he kept her close.

"Mira? Do you even know what she has done to me?" She replied, anger and stress in her voice.

Lucas gazed at her deeply, looking for the truth in her eyes. A feeling of uncertainty suddenly invaded him. What if Mira had lied to him? No, she could not have done that to him. He would have seen it. Especially since the evidence was there. Alexandra lived at Terra Nova now, with his father. Alexandra noticed he was doubting himself.

"I swear to you; I didn't betray you. You have to believe me," she affirmed. "Deep down you know I'm not lying. I'm good at keeping secrets, but I'm not a good liar and you know it."

"Then why did you run away?"

"Why?" Her voice was suddenly hysterical. She pushed him and this time he let her go. "You might not be able to see it but Mira tortured me! The second you were gone the second after I was in jail, tortured!" She was screaming now, tears threatening to come.

Lucas had felt Alexandra stiffen in his arms when he had told her about Mira. He had thought she had been afraid because he knew the truth.

"Where were you? Where? You said you'd protect me! You said you'd take care of me! You'd promised I'd be safe! But you left me!"

Lucas didn't say a word but Alexandra was sure he knew she was not lying.

"Look at my arms, look!" she commanded him, pulling up her sleeves. "Can you see those scars?"

Lucas's eyes were sad, hurt, shocked and guilty all at once. His mouth slightly agape as he listened to her. He caught sight of the many white marks on both forearms. Scars from cuts.

"I healed well thanks to Dr Shannon, but I was a mess when your father found me."

Talking about his father brought Lucas back to reality.

"How can you explain that my father invaded us just when you left? It can't be a coincidence." He said harshly.

"Wait, I should be the one who's upset. I should be the one who's questioning you. I should be the one with doubts. You left me there. You abandoned me with her. How do I even know it was not your idea? I've always been loyal to you, always. I didn't even tell your father I knew you." She was too upset now. She didn't give Lucas the time to answer. "I thought I knew you. I've been a fool," she spat. "I have to go now. Otherwise they're going to look for me." She shook her head, distressed.

Lucas let her go. He didn't try to stop her. He didn't know what to say anyway. Everything she had said could be true. Actually, deep down, he knew it was probably true. Mira was used to lying. As far as he knew, Alexandra had never lied to him.

Alexandra had difficulties breathing. She was walking fast. She was so disappointed. She had wanted to see Lucas so much. And now, nothing had happened as she hoped it would. Their kiss had been perfect and all was destroyed because of Lucas's obsession. She was mad at him, mad at herself. How could it all go so wrong? She was not looking where she was headed when she bumped into Josh. "Damn it," she thought. "I forgot the game".

"Hi Josh! I guess you found me?" she tried to joke, embarrassed.

Josh didn't reply. His face reflected anger.

"Josh, what is it?" Alexandra asked, worried.

"I saw you earlier." He said coldly.

"You saw me?"

"I saw you with Lucas Taylor."

Alexandra's heart stopped. She stared at Josh, wondering what she could say to justify what he had seen. She opened her mouth to say something that never came.

"It's what I thought," said Josh, walking away.

"Hey wait, wait Josh, wait. I can explain it," Alexandra grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop.

"I hope your explanation is really good because from where I am, it sucks," Josh snapped.

"Ok. I know Lucas Taylor. He is the first man I met when I arrived and he saved my life. But it's all. Especially after what had happened at the Sixer's camp. I haven't seen him since I moved to Terra Nova. I swear to you." Alexandra begged him to believe her, like she had done a few minutes earlier with Lucas. Why did she still need to justify herself? Why people could not just take her word?

"Do you kiss every man that you've just met once?" His tone was really cold now. Alexandra had hoped he had not seen that part.

"I… I was not expecting to react like that ok? I'm not going to see him again. It was our first and last meeting."

"Honestly? You don't even believe what you're saying. It was more than just a kiss. I saw how you looked at each other. It was more than just gratitude."

"If you saw us then you probably saw how I reacted after that kiss!"

Indeed, Josh had seen her arguing, shouting at Lucas. It's actually why he didn't run back straight to Terra Nova to tell his father what had happened. He wanted to believe her but he couldn't decide what to do.

"If it's not that important to you, then you can tell the commander," he finally said.

"I can't. You know I can't. He doesn't want to hear about his son. It would hurt him to know this."

"You're only afraid he's going to be disappointed because you lied to him."

Alexandra pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say. Of course, she didn't want to hurt Taylor. But she also knew she would be hurt too. She didn't know how he would react.

"You tell him or I do," Josh said firmly.

"I'll do it," Alexandra quickly replied. She knew it would be worse if Josh did it.

"You will do what?" a voice asked.

They both turn to see Skye with hunter and Tasha.

"I'll count next time," Alexandra answered lightly. "Josh is too good at this game. He finds me all the time."

"It's late, let's go back to the colony," Josh said. "We all have important things to do today," he added, his eyes stuck on Alexandra.

Skye looked at Alexandra then at Josh. She knew something was up between the two but couldn't figure it out. However, she didn't ask what it was. She would probably know soon enough. Secrets don't live long in Terra Nova.

Alexandra knew she had to tell Taylor the truth. She didn't like it when she had to lie to him the first time they met, but it had been for a good reason. She walked to his headquarters and asked the guard to tell him she wanted to talk to him.

"Good afternoon Commander, Jim."

"Hi Alexandra. The guard said you wanted to talk to me. What is it?" Taylor asked, concerned.

"I have to tell you something I'm not proud of. But I think I owe you the truth about it." She started to say.

Taylor's eyebrows furrowed. Jim glanced at her and the Commander. It seemed to be a private conversation. He started to walk away to leave them alone when Alexandra asked him to stay.

"You can stay Jim, I'd like you to know the truth too."

"Go ahead then, I'm listening," Taylor gently said.

"You remember the first day we met, I told you a sixer found me in the jungle?"

He nodded.

"Well... I lied to you. Actually, it's not really a lie, it's just I didn't tell you everything," she paused, unsure now if she wanted to continue. She could feel his intense blue eyes staring at her.

"Carry on girl."

"The man who found me and saved me was Lucas."

Taylor froze, startled. He was not expecting this.

"Your son," she continued, not sure if he was even listening to her anymore. After a long pause, Taylor spoke again.

"Alexandra, I'm glad you told me the truth."

Alex let out a big sigh. She had not noticed she was holding her breath.

"However, I'm really disappointed. You lied to me, you lied to us. How do I know you haven't been lying about other things? Maybe you have spied for him? How can I trust you anymore?" His voice was cold, distant. Alexandra felt her heart sink.

"I… I told you the truth. I'm not lying and I didn't really lie. I haven't told you because I didn't know you at that time. Now I know you're a man of forgiveness, I should have told you before but here I am, I'm telling you now."

"What else you're not telling me? Why now?"

She gulped. She wasn't sure anymore of her plan. "I met him in the jungle this morning," she confessed.

"In the jungle? You talked to Lucas, a traitor, in the jungle? What were you even doing outside the gates? You can't choose what's right to tell me and what's not. You've been with the enemy, a murderer!" he shook his head, shocked. "I have no other choice that to banish you," he sighed.

Alexandra fell tears running on her face. "No! You can't do that!" she begged. "I'm going to die out there, is it what you want?" she asked, distressed.

"I'm sure my son will help you," he coldly spat. She glared at him, furious, disappointed.

"You don't know him like I do," she suddenly replied in a furious tone.

"Oh and how much is that?" he cut her off.

"Enough to know that you're wrong about him. He's not the man you say he is. Lucas can be generous, he can take care of the others, he can be trusted, he can be helpful, he... deserves a second chance."

"You think you know him, but you don't. I do. But I can see you already have your opinion about him..." He looked sadly at her. "Alexandra Paris, you are not welcome anymore in this colony. You are now a traitor to Terra Nova. You are not allowed to come here again. If you do, we will be forced to consider you as a danger." He gestured to Jim to take her away, staring at his desk.

"You told me Terra Nova was about second chances but I can see that when it comes to your son you're not that generous," she cried as Jim was taking her away.

Everybody stared at her as Jim lead her to the gate, wondering what was going on. Josh and Skye ran to the gate.

"Dad, what's going on?" Josh asked, concerned.

" Commander Taylor has decided to banish Alexandra. She is now a threat to this colony, you're not allowed to talk to her anymore." Jim's heart tightened when he said it. He thought Alexandra had been brave to tell Taylor the truth and now she was hardly thanked for it.

"Alex! Alex I'm so sorry, I…" Josh tried to apologize.

"It's ok. It had to be done anyway," she told him.

"Alexandra, be careful out there," Jim advised her. "Be careful with everything".

"Thank you Jim, thank you for everything," she sadly answered with a hoarse voice. She gave a last glance to the colony, to Jim, Josh and Skye, and walked away.

She walked for what seemed to her like ages. She finally made her way to the waterfalls. She had walked not knowing where she was headed, and there she was, back to Snakehead falls. She sat on a rock and started to cry. She was on her own now, again. She felt empty and used. How was she going to live now she had no home anymore? The night was cool. Alexandra had goosebumps. Between her tears and the cold she could not help trembling.

"What are you doing here?" A voice said behind her.

She turned her head and saw Lucas, standing next to her. She didn't reply, turning her head back, looking away. Lucas came slowly and sat next to her, silent.

"I've been looking for you," he said calmy after a moment.

"So you could have your revenge on me?" she quickly spat, her gaze still away.

"No. I was worried about you," he simply answered.

She turned her head to face him. "Why?"

"I believe you. I… I trust you enough to know that you didn't lie to me."

"You should have never had any doubt about it," she sighed, shaking her head.

"I know it now. I… I'm sorry," Lucas heard himself say. He was really not used to apologizing for anything. But here, in front of her, crying because of him, he couldn't find another thing to say. He was truly sorry. If he had known what Mira was up to, he would have never left her that day. Never. And things would be different now. Why did he always fuck everything up? He had to stop always ruining everything. And he was going to start now, with Alexandra. He owed her that. He knew he would not do it for anyone. But Alexandra was different. He knew it. To see her sad made him sad. It was a feeling quite new to him. Or at least, that he had not felt for a very long time.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm homeless," she chuckled sadly. "Your father, he… he banished me," she said as the tears came flooding out. She turned and flung herself at Lucas. He wrapped his arms around her immediately, soothing her.

"It's alright. I'm here now. I'm here," Lucas reassured her. "I won't let you down."

They talked a lot that night. They talked about what they were going to do, what they wanted to do. Lucas told her that he would stay with her, he would not go back to the Sixer's camp, he would be free to live his own life with her if she wanted him to. He had not let her out of his embrace their whole talk. Alexandra fell asleep in his arms, reassured to know that she would not be alone, reassured to know that he would protect her, reassured to know that he trusted her. Lucas felt relieved to have someone with him. She had chosen him. Not his father, not Terra Nova. She had said to him that she'd rather be in the jungle with him than at Terra Nova without him. They were together now, only the two of them, no matter what.
