Thanks for the reviews so far everyone. Enjoy :)
Chapter Eleven - Shadow of the Night
Now knowing the device wasn't weapon, she took the opportunity and swung her right fist at him, landing it square in his face and as luck had it he was unprepared for the attack.
He stumbled back from the unexpected blow and dropped the device to clutch his bleeding nose. It was a sensation he hadn't felt in a long time and he savoured it.
Elizabeth quickly moved in and gathered the device up of the cold surface.
She could here Torlian cursing 'you'll pay for that' at her, as she ran back the way they'd come.
Reaching the entry point and trying to keep herself calm, Elizabeth tried to remember which of the five buttons Torlian had pressed.
She hit the lowest first, not sure if it was the right one because a 3D dimensional image of the above appeared in front of her. The others were appearing as shadows. She guessed the device must work both ways as she could see someone looking at her.
-----
John was annoyed at himself for not being more vigilant of the stranger, McKay had seen something was up but never had the chance to say until it was to late. They had no idea where Torlian had taken Elizabeth or why he had.
John never saw the guy but from Ronon and Teyla's description, having caught a brief glimpse of him. He was well built and muscular with no hair and judging by the teeth and eyes he certainly wasn't human.
It was then his thoughts were interrupted when another shadow appeared. He recognized the image straight away. "Elizabeth?" The others turned to look in his direction having been trying to find the seemingly non-extinct exit point where Torlian could be hiding.
She acted as though she hadn't heard. "John, if you can hear me… I'm underground; I don't know how to use this properly, it wasn't a weapon but a projection device."
John watched as Elizabeth turned to look behind her, "He's here, listen use the drill…"
Her sentence was cut short, when the image faded.
"Drill-head," finished Rodney, "Of course, the hole Elizabeth found earlier. The prison cells must be down there."
-----
Torlian grabbed the device from Elizabeth before she could say anymore and then returned the blow she had inflicted on him earlier, only he hadn't expected her to go down so easy.
She'd landed face down when the blow came, her head connecting with the floor.
Torlian slowly bent down and turned her over slightly, not only could he see the nose bleed but the white material she had on her head had turned red as an old wound reopened. He looked at the floor and blood had seeped through and noticed the 'black ice' she hit her head on.
"Well, I guess this means no more trouble from you for a while." He licked his lips before showing his fang like teeth for the first time.
He then took the device in his hands and then turned it back on.
