She was below the command centre again. She wearing the gorgeous dress that phoebe had made for her again. The people were sitting in rows in front of her again. She held lovely flowers. Zoe and two other small girls were standing behind her holding the long train of silk that phoebe had produced, again.
However today it wasn't evening but a pleasant morning. Today maddy, Tasha and phoebe stood in front of her, holding flowers. Today, the bouquet was a mixture of wild and domestic flowers. Today, she felt as though she had everything she had ever wanted. She smiled at the big diamond and sapphire ring on her finger.
'Ready?' A gruff yet tender voice asked from behind her. She turned to see Taylor come and stand beside her in tuxedo made by, again phoebe.
'You're wore the tux taylor!' She said to him gleefully.
'Well, a father can hardly ever see such a day of doubled happiness' he said grinning at her. He held out his arm to her.
She smiled at him, taking his arm as the music started, signaling them. They started walking down the aisle, behind maddy, Tasha and phoebe, who were gently throwing flower petals in her way as they went. She quickly recognized the music as it was from the same scene of the play. All people had risen to welcome the bride.
She was clutching at Taylor's elbow. She was scared about something, as though she wasn't sure what was going to happen. But as she walked, the fear of the unknown reduced quickly as the figure in black became clearer.
She could clearly see him now. His eyes were big and he had one glance up and down but then his eyes remained on hers and she could actually feel the butterflies in stomach swirl. The flowers in her hands suddenly made sense. She smiled at him and he smiled at her the way she had never seen him smile.
She had finally reached him. Taylor gave her hand to him and kissed her cheek affectionately, turned and sat in a seat beside Skye's mum, whose eyes were already glistening.
Skye looked into the perfect green, as Boylan, who was marrying them, asked him if would take Skye to be his wife.
'I do' he said with tenderness reserved just for Skye. Boylan smiled and asked Skye the same question.
'I do' she said without any hesitation.
'I then pronounce you man and wife. And you may kiss the bride' Boylan said smiling at them.
He and Skye inched towards each other their lips just so close-but there were some large bang at the back, then another and some shrieking and then another and a louder one and few blasts which seemed vaguely like big sonic blasts. Someone cried and bellowed and there was a blast again, loudest so far—
This jerked Skye right out of her fantastic dream.
She looked around sheepishly, trying get the sleep out her eyes. The bangs and blasts were more clear and scary now. She quickly got out of bed and put on something more appropriate than her short spaghetti and even shorter shorts.
She opened the door and came out just to see her mother too coming out of her room. She had a frightened look on her face that might have reflected skye's face. They both looked at the door and moved, though debra was a little hesitant.
'Skye, don't go out of the house. What if something happens to you?' She said, worried.
'Mom, what if we should get out? I mean maybe there's a problem in the houses? Let me go and check, at least.'
She pleaded. Skye wanted to know the trouble first, especially before her mother. Debra weakly nodded, still looking hesitant. She slowly turned the handle and stepped out quickly. She froze looking at the scene in front of her.
The main gates of terra nova had been blown off, pieces of which had were lying on the ground many feet away. Near to these lay a few soldiers with burns on their arms and faces. Someone had bombed the entry of the colony. There were big rovers, bigger than, Skye had seen. Soldiers were getting out of them and marching toward different houses, a few people were climbing up the command centre. Two figures seemed familiar to skye even in the dark, one male and one female, who Skye was sure would be Mira. But it was the other figure that worried skye.
Surely it couldn't be... She had only thought of this much when her mother came out.
'Skye?' Her worried voice came as she opened the door and peeped.
'Haanh, oh god!', was her gasping reaction to the view. She clutched skye's arm almost trying to pull her back.
Just then, an apparent phoenix soldier came towards their house,a frightening sonic gun on his hands. They both moved back, instinctively, halfway in.
'Don't make this hard girl.' in hard cracking voice.
They still backed into the door. In one big step the soldier reached and took skye's hands and hardly twisted her in front of him pointing the gun at her temple and crushing her wrist.
'Don't, please don't hurt her!' Debra cried, her eyes tearing up with anger in her eyes.
'Don't move or do anything stupid or I shoot her'
'No. no, don't do anything to her' she pleaded.
'Mum, get in and don't do anything, I'll be fine.' She said her voice strong even though she felt hot with fear. The man pulled her roughly back away from the house and on the street. They were moving towards the command centre.
Skye's mind was more curious than scared. She knew that it would be a couple minutes before they'd stop so why not get know something beforehand. It always helped.
'What are you people doing here?' She asked her voice not even hinting the fear she felt inside.
'Something that we should have done the last time we had been here' he said with the same harsh voice.
'Come again to loose worse?' She asked coldly.
'That kind of cheek it self has got you into trouble'
'What trouble?' she asked as his hold became painfully tighter.
'You'll see for yourself. For now just keep walking' he ordered and skye had obey.
'What are they going to do to terra nova?' She asked, fear in her voice for the first time.
'I don't know much about that but I have some ideas of what they're gonna do to you.' He said with dry chuckle in his voice.
'What do you mean?'
'Well, there's one thing that I've heard. They were talking about teaching you to stop betraying those who trust you'
Skye was too scared to retort. Surely, she would be the first person they'd take the revenge on. After all she had betrayed them twice, ambushed and taken away their brains. Their one chance to getting back. The idea of what all horrors would they inflict upon her made her face cringe and sent a shiver down her spine.
Then she a hustle from her right and saw four similar soldiers tackling and pulling Mr. Shannon and josh out of their house. Both of them looked as though they had fought back with full might, a trickle of blood could be seen, even in the dark, from Mr. Shanon's lips and josh seemed to have black eyes and cheek. Behind, emerging from the door was Dr Shannon trying to keep zoe and maddy from running out to their father and brother.
Of course if she was being taken then so would they as major contributors to the former resistance. They had nearly reached the command centre. However, they did not halt there. Instead they went on towards skye realized the brig. Surely the brig would be where the people are punished so why not them. They were all going to be punished. The door was opened and one by one each of them was thrust inside. Skye rubbed her twisted wrist. She looked into the almost black room towards the two figures of Mr. Shannon and josh.
'Are you okay skye?' Josh's voice asked from the left.
'Skye?' a deep voice asked from nowhere.
'Taylor?' All three of them asked together.
'Yeah.' He said moaning sadly.
'Where are you?' Skye asked moving forward
'A few more steps' he answered. She moved ahead for five steps. She colliding with Taylor. He was seating with his hands around his knees, leaning on the wall. Rather uncharacteristic.
'Are you alright?' She asked putting her hand on his muscular arm. He hissed.
'Taylor! You are hurt' she said. A snort was her only answer.
'Who did this to you? She asked.
'You really are very stupid, girl' a cold and steely voice said from the door.
Moonlight lit the room and reduced the darkness. For a moment she was still looking at the bruises on Taylor's face. She then turned her head and saw the formidable figure of Mira blocking the light party.
'Mira' all four of them said together through gritted teeth.
'Well, your terra nova is under us again. Too bad for all you over smart asses, Isn't it? What are you gonna do now Taylor? And you Shannon? It's funny how all four of you visited me and I tried to bring sense to you that terra nova was doomed, sooner or later you all proud neighbors were going to be in trouble. Huh! What a waste.' She said her voice sarcastic to the 'c'.
'What are you going to do to?' Mr. Shannon said speaking for the first time since they were there. 'Even if you have captured terra nova, what will you do? There's no portal anyway.'
'You know you are the ones, who got us into the whole trouble anyway, so there's a pleasure in punishin' the whole lot of you,' she said a gloating expression on her face and turned to walk towards the door. She turned as she reached the door and said;
'Plus, who said that the portal was gone forever?' She asked her pleasure on seeing their faces was as evident as a kid's who has given a big candy to devour.
'What would you be doing with us?' Josh asked taking skye's hand.
Mira smiled a smile that would make your stomach squirm with anticipation.
'That Romeo is going to be decided by someone else you hate as much as me, or maybe more' she turned her face and looked at Taylor with a triumph in her eyes, then left. All light from the room was gone and the darkness took over somehow darker this time.
They were alone now, the four of them. Skye didn't know what to do. She wanted to know what could be done, the person who had always taken control when such horrible things happened was the man sitting down with his arms around his knees, looking as though he was going to face the gallows. Yet Skye asked maybe only for the sake of asking.
'Well, what are we going to do about it, Taylor' she asked aware of the fact that there was little that they could do being locked in the brig.
'What can we?' He answered voicing her thoughts. He turned his face away from her.
She herself sat down on the floor she had so wanted to avoid. How could this have happened? What was she going to do? She didn't even know what would they do to them. Would they kill them? How could this have ever happened? What did Mira mean when she said that the portal wasn't gone forever?
Were they going to built it again...but the only person who could do that was...and She knew Mira wasn't so intelligent that she could plan the whole thing by herself... She would have needed some help...someone who had the idea of how everything went on in terra nova...someone with the idea of battle strategy and knowledge of the weaker pans a stronger points of terra nova...someone who was very intelligent...someone who wanted revenge...someone who could built the portal again...
'No!' She couldn't help but say it out aloud...
'What is it Skye?' josh asked.
'Taylor, do you know who else is involved in this mission? Could it be someone we know?' She asked meaningfully.
Taylor's head turned towards her, face pained with knowledge.
'For all we know' he answered his voice gruffer with the idea of his son. Skye sloped back to lean on the wall.
Why would he do this? He had promised her...why would he do this...he had said that he loved her...she didn't know what to think...she had trusted him...how could she have trusted Lucas Taylor? A tiny voice in the back of her mind asked...his history was the proof that he couldn't be trusted not be her not by anyone...had it all had been just a game to get himself what he wanted...had he used her?...had she just been a bait...
No! What was she thinking...ther must be someone else that had heled Mira in doing this...but the portal —
The door open slowly, and light filled in slowly. Everything seemed to slowdown as though time itself was making her feel. A tall figure slowly step in front with a long formidable stick, that made Mr. Shannon tighten from the past memories. He walked in blocking all the light in room. As darkness over took again, Skye didn't need light to know who it was. It was the man she had thought to be made for her, the man who had filled her with life, the person she thought she belonged too, the person she was desperate for and who she madly loved...
It was Lucas.
I'll be updating as ssoon as possible,...
