Hey everyone! Thank you all for your lovely reviews. I appreciate them a lot. They always lift me up. I m trying to answer them all. It is so good that I've finished ten chapters of my first story. This one is very short, probably the shortest but anyway, it is about their feelings. The next one again will be a long chap. I just hope that I've got everything covered. It is slightly intense.
I know the Lucas's ideas and thought have gone too far but that is what I'm thinking a person and genius like Lucas would feel and think if he were in such a situation. You kn9ow it just blasts off and the head goes to any ends for a justification.
I welcome all your thoughts and ideas, even if you are going to scold me for updating late but really I couldn't access my account, which I think is going made and not allowing me inn, or for bringing them so close and separating them with such pain. You'll Know what will happen in the story from this chapter, but always expect surprises for me which itself is an oxymoron. (I have a thing for figure of speech). Enough blabbering, on to ch 10…
Lucas was still propped against the tree he had fallen to asleep in tears with the pain from his wound and the bigger pain of betrayal and loss. He moved a bit in sleep and realized where he was. He slowly opened his eyes wishing, like a child, that all he saw the night before had just been another of his nightmares. But as the greenery around him became clearer, his mind too became clearer. Somewhat. It had been no dream. Everything from the dinos coming after them to him hurting his arm due to a slide on the rocks to the assistant being wounded to seeing Skye at terra nova dressed in white to the fact that she was married to the Shannon was true. It pained him to even make the thoughts of it.
He sat there for a while without moving lost in his thoughts. It had been so less time since they had last been with each other. Would she move on so quickly? No one would move on so fast .Had Skye really moved on? She wouldn't have done that quickly. The Skye he knew would have waited for him. But then again he had seen the Skye he knew walk down the aisle in white to the Shannon jerk. But then again why had Skye moved on so quickly. She loved him. Then another horrifying thought occurred to him, which made him sit up straight. What if Skye had never loved him? What if she had done what she had done to get him? Of course after that night he would have been much softer and easier towards her, and then maybe she could've used this as chance to go away! But that never happened as they had been found the very next morning. What would have they hadn't been found? Though it had been her who had freed him. Why would she do that? Maybe she had used him for what she wanted, that had proved that she was innocent. Maybe meeting him and getting food for him had been some plan so that he would not doubt her. Perhaps that was the reason that she refused to make love with him that day in the brig. Maybe all of it had been drama. Maybe that was the reason that they never looked for them before and found them when he was off guard.
Every thought he had had for the past two and a half months was turned upside down as went through everything again with a keener eye. Without the love and tenderness he had shown towards the ideas, it really seemed to him like a bad plot. A plot that had been made to get to him, to hurt him and kill him. Could she have done that? Had she betrayed him again? Well, why wouldn't she. She herself had told him that she wanted to get back the respect of his father. This would get her the respect back. On the contrary, he would have helped her, encouraged her, so would have the Shannon boy, no, the Shannon jerk, rather the whole family would've. They had all done this to him. The whole terra nova was responsible.
He felt broken. Completely broken. All the lovely memories that he treasured; all the ideas of what he would do when he met Skye; all fond conversations very broken into shreds, parts and pieces. All the pain that was coming from his wounded arm and the pain he suffered from traveling himself out just to reach terra nova rebounded on him. If the only person he loved had betrayed him then what was the point for him to live? Where would he go? Was he forlorn again? He thought about what ginger had told him. She would be there for him. Yes. He would go there. He would go there to ginger. Not only that but he'd come back. He'd come back, and make them feel. He would make them fell what they had made him feel. He would get to them, he would hurt them and he would kill them. He would kill them all. The way they had killed his mother then, the way they had killed him now.
A swarthy plan was evolving in his genius head. He knew where he would start from. He had already been doing the calculations just to pass the time away. They all were connected to one thing, one major thing, that, if hurt would basically injure all of them. He rubbed his hands menacingly and a contemptuous smirk spread across his saturnine face, convulsively. Terra nova, he thought implacably. Yes, he would take it over again. He had done it once and he would do it again. Similarly he would open the portal, bring in more troops and this time, it would be better and successful. He would take over the place and take out his father, the Shannons, the whole terra nova, and of course Skye. He was going to destroy her, destroy everything she loved just the way she had one to him. He loathed her.
Skye was very tired. The whole cast and crew of the play had partied most of the night. They had gone to Boylan's and had fun. Everyone had praised their hard work. It had been one of the best nights. Her mother too, had been very happy, and almost had tears in her eyes saying "oh, how lovely you looked in the white dress and you did so well, honey". Skye was very happy that this happened. Maddy was the happiest one. She was grinning all the time, as everyone kept praising her and her wonderful abilities of management. They went on about how "adroitly she managed the whole thing", how her "hard work and organization was shown in the swiftness of the play". Some even went ahead and asked her whether she had written the story herself was it book they hadn't heard of. She sweetly told them that Cinderella was one the basic and best fairy tales of all times.
For Skye all the happiness for the "lovely success" and "stunning magic" of the play was interspersed with the confusion of seeing Lucas. She was even confused whether she had seen him or was it a spurious mirage occurring as she was missing him so much. It was as though seeing him had brought him back to the center of everything. All she could think of Lucas, Lucas, and Lucas. Now she realized why it was hard with him, why was she so muddle when he was around. It was because nothing else made any sense; every other thing was elusive to her except Lucas. Yes, it was he and only he could do that to her. Only his presence made her heart race, get her cheeks hot. His words were always so eloquent, unlike josh that was full of platitude. She realized that nothing could ever mean more to her than Lucas. She realized that she wouldn't have future but with Lucas.
But, on the other hand, why was it only his presence. Why didn't he speak to her? Why didn't he come to her and swing her in his arms, kissing her. It somehow didn't make any sense, though it probably was his aftereffect. And what had said? Had he really call her a bitch? Why would he do that? Then another idea came, what if he had seen the wedding scene, only the wedding scene, and thought it really was a wedding? Maybe then…nah. That would be way too much of a coincidence, plus Lucas trusted her. He knew she loved him and only him. He wouldn't jump to conclusions like the old Lucas who wanted to destroy terra nova. Lucas had changed. And he loved her. What she saw must have been her thoughts, though she would do what she had to. She would remain faithful to him. She would wait for him and show god if not him that she loved him.
