Unexpected..........by melz

***Forest*** "Come with me." The commander tried to pull Brennan away from Shalimar whom both clung on to each other like newly weds. "HMP, fine, then you both come." He said, making gestures for them to understand. "Hello." Brennan said in Russian. The commander turned around fast and coldly leveled his gun at Brennan's forehead, saying, "An American!" "Huh?" "I can always tell by their horrible accent." He said in plain but obscure English, hidden by his rough Russian accent. "I'm from Canada. She is too." Brennan protested pointing to Shalimar, who had a look of pure horror in her eyes when the commander placed the muzzle of his gun on Brennan. Brennan gave her a light nudge. "Um, I'm from Canada. What are you going to do to us?" "HhMmpP." Was the answer she got, and they started walking again.

They were just in the outer edge of an entire base camp they realized. They passed by more than 20 trucks already, but didn't get to have a chance to see what the camp looked like. Suddenly they were blindfolded from behind. Brennan managed to jab somebody with his elbow, bloodied a nose, before his hands were quickly tied behind his back. He gave up quickly thinking, they could always go in and out of here. He heard noises that Shalimar was doing all she can also unexpectedly blinded to not get tied up. They found each other again, blind folded and tied, and moved into their original position with Shalimar walking in front of Brennan together. "Shhhhhhhhhh..It's alright." He whispered to her. "Oh Brennan, I'm tied up, bleeding, and angry." Brennan could almost hear the tears in her eyes and the vengeance in her voice. Not good to keep a feral like this long Brennan thought. Especially this one. "Shhhhhhhhhh..Just make sure that you don't get killed, I'm content!" He said whispered into her ears with affection. "Just make sure that you get us out of here, soon." She said with equal affection. "Shut the hell up." The commander ordered. Clearly he was skilled in curses in the English language. And on they walked.

***Cabin*** "hmmm" "You know, you don't have to do the dishes right now." "Then what would I do Jesse?" "Come and watch a movie with me." "Is this the Jesse Kilmartin asking me on a date?" "Yes it is." "hmmm" "What are you 'hmming' about?" She looked up at him. "The decision between you and the dishes." Jesse laughed at her seriousness, but looked into her eyes again and saw that she wasn't kidding. His laughter turned bleak. Emma felt his arms around her waist starting to pull away. No! She grabbed with her wet hands his hands and made it stay on her waist, taking him by surprise. Then she started to playfully lean back on him while moving towards the couch. "Oh that decision has been made before the beginning of time though you know." "Yes, I know." Jesse replied, bringing her closer to him. ~mmm.I love the smell of her perfume.~ Emma looked at him. ~The scent is roses~ ~Just perfect for you~ ~I wear it just for you~ "What movie are we going to watch?" Emma asked. ~Doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you~ ~Oh, you flirt~ ~Only to you~ "Then no movie. It'll ruin the quiet warm evening." By then, the winds have died down and the only remaining memories of the storm are the cold spots of the cabin. "Okay." They sat down on the warm rug before the fireplace, and obtained their drinks from the coffee table. They sat side by side, their backs leaning against the foot of the couch. They finished drinking and the fire was getting warmer and warmer. Emma sighed happily at the warmth and beauty of the fire. Jesse looked at Emma at that during that long period of time. She felt his gaze on her, and liked what she was feeling, a type of warmth that a fire can't give to her. Then she moved her gaze onto Jesse. Her hand went up to his face. His hands cupped her face, waiting for some sign. She brought him closer to her. And they both brought each other to a steady hard kiss.

After of good half hour of making out, they said goodnight, sweet dreams, and wondering what each day to come has stored in for them.

***Forest*** After an hour of trudging through the 7 inches of snow, Shalimar and Brennan were quite grateful for a rest, even though they were standing up. But they were still, and it was all that mattered. During that whole hour of darkness, Shalimar's anger and desperation to get out of these bonds and kick some a** was kindled inside of her. But she kept silent. Waiting. Stalking. Weighing. Measuring. Planning. The time of her feral side will soon overcome any common sense. But she kept silent. Waiting. Stalking. Weighing. Measuring. Planning.

They walked a little while longer and were walking on a well-trampled road, which did both of them good on their feet. They were silent, cold, hungry, but tough. Ready for whatever is thrown upon them. Ready, together Shalimar thought. It was almost dawn when their blindfolds were taken off, but their bonds on their hands were still tight. Shalimar had to blink several times to get used to the light. Good thing they choose to take off our blindfolds now or otherwise I'll be blind. There was light, but darkness still hung around this area like a prowling panther. She started to scout this area. Hills of snow and trees, one guard every three yards in a circle around a wooden cabin. There were bigger circles around each circle as if daring anybody to try and escape them. For if one passes through the first set of guards, there where more than 4 chances of that you can get caught again, by the larger circles. Well, this is going to be challenging Shalimar thought.

They were forced into the cabin and once again, they had to adjust their eyes to the bright shinning light. "Come in! Come in! Isn't this a lovely weather?" A man in a top fitted suit just for him was standing up waving his hand as if he was welcoming them as his guests. "Please, please, sit down." He nodded to the two chairs. Shalimar and Brennan traded glances, but stayed silent and still. "Young, Canadians, my friends, what would you be doing so far away from home?" "Actually it isn't that far away compared to Africa." Shalimar lashed out. "OOO an educated person in this room. How delightful! But sadly, even your brains won't be able to save you." He said sadly, shaking his head. "Guards, take them away. When they become in a more civilized state, bring them back to me and I'll start again." Shalimar growled at the guards, when they shoved her towards the door. And out into the cold freezing air. They were led out and were tied to a pole guarded by 2 guards outside with no shelter and food. Shalimar sighed. Here comes the waiting, which I detest so.

In the afternoon, or so, when the sun was high, they were forced back into the cabin again. "Welcome! Come in. The sun is so beautiful eh?" The subject about the weather again? Shalimar and Brennan looked at each other, wary. "Please, please, sit down." The sit down part again? Shalimar sensed that something different would be coming though. "Let me introduce you to my lovely assistant, Kkrsnizqqta" A girl dressed in a way too showy outfit for this weather appeared out of the dark. Her dark enticing brown eyes caught the eyes of the beautiful dark brown eyes of Brennan. Shalimar noticed and was surprised at her reaction. Am I jealous? Shalimar growled. "You are picked to be one of our contestants for an experiment. You will be led to a lab where you will be tested on. Don't worry. It might account to nothing. But, of course, you never know. Kkrsnizqqta here is going to be your guide and friend. She will explain everything." "And what if we don't participate?" Shalimar asked. "Then you will die." "What happens at the end?" Brennan asked. "If all goes well, you will go home." He said with a fake smile. Yes, she could feel he's lying. She narrowed her eyes. Something is going on here. Something. Of course she isn't going to be tested on like a lab rat. There is only one thing to do then. Escape.

Brennan couldn't help staring at the girl. Kkrsnizqqta. This is too coincidental. The same brown eyes. The same petite nose. The same curvy mouth. Same size, same height. The same heat that we gave off to each other when we looked into each other eyes. Same tattoo on her right arm. The tattoo that he gave her the night when they made love. He loves Shalimar now, of course. But he was craving, no. Dying to talk and touch her hand. To see if she is really his high school sweet heart from his past.
