Chapter 8:

Kara was in disbelief. There he was standing right in front of her the man she thought was dead. "Hey Jolee, Tyr wanna help me with that thing?" Greta stood up from where she was sitting. "Thing, what thing?" Tyr asked clearly confused. Jolee elbowed him. "The thing . Tyr in the other room . you know the thing," She pushed Tyr out of the room and into the second room.

"You look like you saw a ghost," Harper muttered after the three others left. "That's because I have," Kara spat with anger in her voice. "Kara?" "No, Harper where were you?" she asked clearly hurt. "Huh, where were you this entire time. I tried to contact you and then." She stopped. "If I got the messages you know damn good well that I would have tried and contact you any way possible!" he argued back. "I thought you were dead," she muttered and Harper had to strain to hear. "The last message I got was that you were dead," she said louder. "Same here," he sighed. They were now standing close to each other in silence. "Why did I even believe it?" He gently glided the back of his hand against her smooth cheek. His voice was soft the way Kara remembered. She looked up into his deep blue eyes. A tear rolled down his cheek. "I love you Kara," He sighed. Kara wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. "I hate when you do this to me," She joked. Together they stood in each other's arms listing to each other's heartbeat and for once feeling like they actually belonged.

"What are we going to do?" Jolee asked out of the blue. "What do you mean? About them? I say they're doing fine." Greta said peeking into the other room through a small rectangular window. "No, about the other thing," Jolee answered rolling her eyes. Greta abandon the window and sat on a chair at the table that stood in the middle of the room. "We can't tell Cal about it I mean not yet," she muttered. "Why?" Greta spun on her chair. "What if it's not what were looking for? What if what we are looking for is so much worse? What if what we think we're looking for isn't even what we're looking for? I mean why don't we wait for to see what we're up against before we jump to conclusions." For the first time Greta was right they didn't know what they were up against why get the others into a mess they aren't even prepared to face. Jolee looked at Tyr for an answer. During this time he stood in a corner observing the situation. It was the Nietzschean thing to do. She turned back to Greta who was waiting for an answer. "Okay, get Harper and Kara we gotta go and save this godforsaken hellhole."

Kara walked down the narrow hallway. "Why?" she asked herself. Greta, Tyr, and Harper were with her as she led them to the place where she prayed not to go. She closed her eyes tightly following her instincts instead of her sight.

*The girl ran out of her house and toward the back yard. "Mommy," she whispered as she came near a small figure fighting with a larger figure. "Kara get away for here," the small figure struggled to say. "Mommy," the girl got closer and the figures became clearer. "Kara-" her mother's voice was cut off with a slice of air followed by a slur. Her body fell in a pull of blood. The creature stood to its full height. It eyes burning into hers. She stood there with her mother's lifeless body at her feet. "Mommy," the wind carried the whisper into the cold night and then silence*

Kara quickly opened her eyes. The memories were too intense for her. It hurt, bad. She reached for Harper's hand. She found it and didn't want to let it go. "Are you okay?" she spun around face to face with Harper. "Yeah I'm fine," Harper just smiled as he kissed the tip of her nose.

They came to a row of doors with one cracked opened. Again curiosity took over. She pushed it open as the rest continued. She gazed around the room holding her flashlight around at different angles lighting corners. She went in deeper feeling an eerie presence. She sensed the others entering. Their footsteps were heavy against the steel floor.

Kara kept her ears open. "Freeze," She whispered. The others stopped as she went on. She heard some light footsteps and heavy breathing as she crossed the room. In less then a second courage raged in her and her normal eyes changed to cat like eyes and went back to normal. She came to a pile of wood boxes. "Guys wanna help." They moved the boxes and uncovered another door. "Kara here," Greta handed her a lightweight gun and allowed her to continue.

Harper quickly reached out for her arm before she can get far enough. "I'll go with you," He muttered. "I don't want to lose you again." Kara turned toward the door again and together they kicked it open. Kara glared into the room as Harper stood behind her. "What is it?" he asked. She pulled her head out. "Its.It's a library.

************************************************************************

"You found a library," Cal asked on the screen of the communicator. "Well it had the markings." Kara told him. The group had gathered some things from the room and quickly got back to the safe house. "Did you find anything?" "We're still looking," "All right call me back when you find more. Oh and Kara behave," with that Cal logged off.

Kara glanced around the room. It was plain not very much to look up. One simple bunk was set behind her. A steel table along with chairs stood in the middle. There were tables that were bolted to the walls and lab gear was set up on them with a sink and other junk. A fridge stood at the corner of the room. There wasn't really anything. Kara listened to her surroundings. The others were in the other room talking about God knows what.

She leaned back on her chair as the door cracked open. It was Harper. He walked over to the table. "Is this a dream?" he muttered. Kara looked up at him. " I found you," he grabbed her hands and pulled her up. She wrapped her hands around his waist as he took his hand a pushed back her hair. "I love you Kara," he began. Kara leaned her head against his chest. "Shay?" "Shh, I know you're scared. I'm scared too," he cupped her chin and pushed her head up gently so their eyes met. "But, I'm more afraid to lose you," he whispered. "I missed you so much Shay," "Shh," he covered her mouth with his and was lost in a world where only he and her exist. It was a perfect utopia.

(Wow, what will happen next? Hum. I hoped you like it. I know kinda mushy but hey it goes along with the story but you have to wait for more. I believe there is like thirteen chapters in total for this story but have no fear the others would be quicker to type. The longest chapters are over after chapter nine and I hope you stay until the end. Thanks Lilshorty out!)

P.S. if you like this read my Angel story Sweet child of mine. Later companions will be Andromeda and Angel crossovers and to understand those you have to read that one first. Thanks.
