A/N: Even if you are a Chakotay Fan keep reading just trust me.
Chakotay awoke in a field. He walked around as if he knew what he was doing. He finally came to a tree. In the tree, something caught his eye. It was a person. He didn't understand why someone would be up in a tree at this hour of the night but then again he was there too wasn't he?
"Hello?" He called up. Not expecting an answer but he tried anyhow.
"Chakotay?" The voice was familiar, it was Kathryn's.
"Why don't you come up, the view is excellent you can just start to see the sun coming over the horizon." Chakotay shrugged.
"Only if you've got the room." Kathryn rolled her eyes and laughed.
"On my way up." Chakotay wasn't found of heights but for some reason he felt he owed it to her. He carefully grabbed each branch testing it first before stepping on to it. It didn't take him long to reach the top. The tree wasn't that big. Chakotay situated himself in the tree carefully making sure he was sitting on a sturdy branch. Kathryn turned and faced him.
"That wasn't so hard was it." Chakotay shook his head.
"Not really."
They sat in silence for the longest time as they both thought of words to say. Chakotay decided to speak up first
"Why did you leave before saying good bye?" Kathryn shot him a look as if she didn't understand.
"I don't understand."
"That morning you left with out saying good bye. why?"
"I don't understand." Chakotay started to become frustrated.
"You know exactly what I mean." Kathryn shook her head.
"Your wrong, I don't."
"Dammit Kathryn," She broke eye contact.
"You see the sun coming over the horizon its beautiful isn't it, its been days since I've seen it."
"Stop trying to change the subject."
"I don't know what your talking about." Chakotay started to scream.
"Don't lie to me."
"I'm not, what's wrong with you." Chakotay started to shake her.
"Answer me!"
"Please stop, let go of me." He watched the fear in her eyes.
"Answer me."
"Stop it, let go." He felt the anger build up inside. He shook her harder. His grip around her shoulders moved until he was gripping her neck. The harder he shook the tighter the grip on her neck got. Kathryn's face was quickly turning blue.
"Not again Chakotay." He couldn't control his anger.
"Liar, you left and you know you did. Admit it!"
"What do you want from me? Tell me what you want. Anything just let go."
"I want you!"
By the time he answered, it was too late. He had strangled her to death. He watched as her grip around his arms loosened. He also watched as she slipped from the tree branch it took almost forever to watch her fall.
"no, no, no, no, no." He jumped from the tree. He held up her head.
"I never left." She forced out before she died. Chakotay experienced vertigo. His surrounds swirled as if he was in a twisted fun house. He checked her pulse.
"She's … she's dead." He whispered as if he didn't want anyone to hear him.
Voices surrounded him they were all chanting the same thing. "You killed her." All of them their friends. B'Elanna, Tuvok, Tom, Seven, and Harry.
He tried to run away but he was stopped by a security team. Tuvok was the head of the group.
"Captain Chakotay, you are under arrest for the murder of Admiral Janeway. Please keep your hands in the air were I can see them. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney if you can not find one one will be appointed to you by the court." Chakotay tried his options.
"I'm not going to jail!" Chakotay ran for the nearest object that could block a phaser shot.
Before he could dive he was hit by a phaser that wasn't on stun. He felt his chest tear open. He watched as the blood seeped out. Chakotay stared at his chest. The pain was so overwhelming that he shut his eyes tight. When he opened them again he found him self back in the hospital room. He quickly glanced around. Everything was where it was suppose to be, even Kathryn was right where he left her. He gently picked her up and went over to her bio-bed. He softly kissed her forehead as he let her down. He then resumed his seat in the corner and shut his eyes. The doctor who was watching them the whole time had come to a conclusion. Chakotay couldn't have been the culprit Tuvok accused him of being. But his interview and the DNA testing proved other wise. Little did Chakotay know that he was in for two big surprises. One of them being his first sentence to life in the brig.
