Author's Note: Hey, everyone, I'm back. Sorry I didn't update any sooner, but with Fanfiction.net being down so much, and all of the power outages my area has been having lately, I just couldn't find a time sooner. Sorry for the delay. This second chapter is a little bit longer than the first, so I hope that you enjoy reading it. Also, PLEASE REVIEW, I love hearing everyone's feedback and comments. Thanks a bunch to everyone who reviewed the first chapter; your input was great! :-) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Revelations
Chapter 2 : When Your Enemy's Dreams Come True
XXXXXXXXXXX Shalimar and Brennan in the Audi, driving down a highway XXXXXXXXXXXX
The silver Audi sped down the nearly empty highway on a late Saturday afternoon. Shalimar was in the front passenger seat looking out the open window, her hair blowing in her face, when Brennan, who was driving, suddenly turned to Shalimar.
"Shal, why is it that Adam won't let you drive anything except your motorbike?" Brennan asked curiously. Shalimar turned to face him and paused a moment before answering.
"Well, let's just say that after Adam brought me to Sanctuary, he allowed me start practicing for my driver's license , and... well, my first lesson didn't go to well,... at all," Shalimar said, blushing slightly.
"Why, what happened?"
"Uummm..." Shalimar bit her lip, and then continued speaking, " My feral DNA took over briefly and I ended up chasing a squirrel into a tree,... literally," Shalimar blurted out as quickly as she could.
"Shal! You crashed your, well Adam's car into a tree!" Brennan said with a smirk spreading across his face. Shal, embarassed now by what she had told Brennan, flashed her flourescent green eyes while giving Brennan a shoulder jab, which caused the Audi to swerve slightly.
"Jeeze! I'm just remarking that what you did was funny; no need to beat me over it. Just imagine that poor squirrel being crushed by..." Shalimar glared at Brennan, ready to beat him up for real this time, when Brennan finished his sentence with a different tone of voice.
"I'm sorry, Shalimar, I really am," Brennan said with puppy dog eyes. "So what can I do to make it up to you? Take you to the mall for some new clothes, or out to dinner and a club?" Shalimar softened her facial expressions and grabbed Brennan's hand.
"You always knew how to sweet talk a girl, didn't you?" Shalimar said, scooting closer to Brennan and resting her head on his shoulder. Brennan lifted his arm and put it around her shoulder, as Shalimar took a short cat nap by his side. The Audi slowed as it drove down the exit ramp and for several minutes, Brennan felt like he had it all, especially with Shal beside him. But as he felt so calm and on top of the world, he failed to notice the flashing lights behind him. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX Emma and Jesse in the Double Helix, Adam at Sanctuary XXXXXXXX
The Double Helix was quickly closing in on the city, still hidden beneath its' stealth cloak.
"Adam, do you have the tracking signal for the Audi yet?" Jesse asked calmly.
"Yes, I'm sending it to you right now," Adam replied as he walked over to the computer and pressed 'send'.
"So Adam, what do you exactly want us to do? I mean, I don't exactly feel comfortable spying on Brennan and Shalimar. They are our teammates; we should be able to trust them," Emma asked slightly worried, but with a serious tone.
"Don't worry Emma, you're not spying on them. I just want you to locate the Audi and make sure that they are okay. If you still can't find them, use their com-link signals," Adam retorted, annoyed slightly.
"Yeah, Emma. We're just making sure that are friends are fine," Jesse said giving Emma a friendly pat on her shoulder. Emma smiled and finally decided that what they were doing was acceptable. But just to be sure, Emma tried to get a read on Shalimar and Brennan, to make certain that she and Jesse were not butting into their personal affairs. Breaking her trance, she let out a gasp.
"Adam, something's wrong!" Emma exclaimed. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX Brennan and Shalimar in the Audi XXXXXXXX
Shalimar had been silently resting beside Brennan for several minutes, when she suddenly opened her eyes, which were glowing orange, and sat up with a gasp.
"Someone's following us!" she said exasperated. Brennan looked into the rear view mirror and finallly noticed the flashing lights.
"Damn it! Its the cops!" Brennan almost yelled, as he slowly pulled the car over to the edge of the road.
"I'll take care of them!" Shalimar said with a feisty tone.
"A little anxious, Shal? Just give 'em a chance to plead their case," Brennan answered with a smirk, as one of the cops got out of the stopped police car and approached the Audi.
"What seems to be the problem, officer?" Brennan asked as the young black police officer stopped next to the open window.
"Your vehicle doesn't appear to have a license plate on it, therefore I need to check and make sure that you're registered. Could I please have your license and registration?" the officer asked gruffly. Meanwhile , a second officer approached slowly without Shalimar or Brennan noticing. Brennan turned to Shalimar with a worried look on his face because neither of them had a valid license or real registration. Shalimar, knowing that her plan had prevailed, gave a small smirk as Brennan mouthed 'You win.'. Brennan knew what to do right away.
Pretending to search for his registration under his seat, he quickly created a ball of electricity and threw it at the police officer with just enough voltage to shock him into a temporary unconscious state. As Brennan attempted to drive off, the Audi suddenly stopped, appearing to hit an invisible wall/
"What the hell!" Brennan said annoyed. As the first police officer recovered from being shocked, the second cop approached the stalled car and spread out her hands, causing flames to encircle the Audi. Shalimar's eyes widened and changed into a glowing orange as her entire body froze.
"It's a trap!" Brennan yelled, trying to floor it, but met no success doing so. "We have to get outta her, Shal! Come on Shal, open your door!" Brennan yelled at her in a worried tone of voice.
"I can't go through that!" Shalimar blurted out, right as the two police officers closed in and were joined by a mysterious figure.
"Yes you can, Shal! Just take my hand; we'll go together." Brennan retorted, giving Shalimar a compassionate glance. Allowing her trust in Brennan to take over, Shalimar grabbed his hand, and the two of them got out of the car together.
"Going somewhere?" the black police officer asked, as the second police officer, who was an almost familiar, blonde-haired lady, stood beside him with a smirk.
"We are! But you're not!" Brennan answered as he threw a bolt of electricity at the two officers. But before being struck, the two vanished, reappearing behind Shalimar and Brennan.
"I believe that it's time for you two to meet Fate!" the lady officer yelled as both Brennan and Shalimar swung around to face her.
"Not if I have something to say about that," Shalimar retorted slyly, switching into feral mode.
"Don't bet on that," said a familiar voice from above them all. All four looked up to view Gabriel Ashlocke floating down to the street. As Shalimar and Brennan took several steps backwards, Gabriel landed in front of the two smirking police officers.
"Glad you made it, Gabriel," the black officer spoke up.
"Why would I miss out on fulfilling a dream like this. Let's get this party started!" Ashlocke answered in his godly way. Terror spread across Shalimar and Brennan's faces. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Author's Note: So, how did you like it? Please review and leave your comments/feedback, I really would like to hear how I'm doing. I'm sorry if anyone was offended in any way by the part about Shalimar's early driving experience, but I've never seen Shalimar drive anything other than her motorbike (if she has, please correct me). :-) Thanks a lot for everyone's feedback! ^_^
