A/n Okay I was very unhappy with the last chapter I wrote, so I revised
pretty much all of it and added something at the end. Sorry it took so long
to update, but my mom went to the hospital for four days. She's back home
now, but still not feeling too much better. Again, sorry for the delay.
*Alley*
The body that layed in alley was now a key suspect in the team's investigation, but there was no way that that man was going to let them have him. He stood up as he lifted his shirt and slid his finger where the bullet had entered. His plan, his boss's plan was now in motion. As he looked down he saw two sets of bloody footprints. ~They took the bait~ Smiling the man turned and left to report to his boss about the update.
*Aboard the helix*
The ride home was the most uncomfortable ride all three had ever taken together. Each one sat in silence acting like they were the only ones aboard the helix. Adam strained himself with ways to fix what he had caused ~there has to be an antidote~ Jesse tortured himself with the thought of dying and never had told Shalimar how he really felt about her. He was going to do it now! His leg shook up and down in anticipation as his fingers beated a beat of their own. He began to leave his chair ~Now, I'll do it now~ Meanwhile, Shalimar may have looked as though she was focused on nothing else but flying, but if you were to see into her mind you would be overwhelmed with what went on inside. She thought of what she had done in the past ~was it justifiable~ she thought of what she won't be able to do, and she also wondered if this is the way her life was meant to be. Was it all planed out for her and the others to become mutants? Was it played out that way so she would meet these magnificent four other people? Was she supposed to be a hero? ~Did my life have meaning? ~ Her thoughts were interrupted, "Shal I need to talk to you-"
"Were here," Adam cut in after glancing at the monitor in front of himself.
*The Forest*
"Come on Bren."
Brennan's eyes widened as the mutant stepped closer, "This is you last warning!" The psi-ball now floated a few inches off his forehead.
"Okay I see this isn't going to work so-" The mutant waved his hand in a circular motion in front of himself and transformed into his true form as Brennan watched on.
"That's better. Now where were we?"
"Man, what's your problem?"
"My problem?" The man let out a chuckle, "You'll find out soon enough!"
"As we speak your "friends" are being delt with and as for your.love-" The mutant glanced over at the hole a mere yard away from them, "I'm saving her for myself." He raised his hand and waved it once more morphing into Brennan.
Brennan shot off the psi-ball missing by a few centimeters. The mutant headed for the woods. Brennan followed, pausing for a moment as he looked back a the hole, then back at the woods.
"Damn!" He turned and approached the hole. Moving his comlink to his mouth he spoke, "Adam we have a situation." Silence rang on the other side. "Adam? Adam are you there? Shalimar? Jesse?" No response. Cursing once more he got on the ground and leaned over the opening of the hole. Looking for a way in he lit the entrance with what little light he could get from his psi- ball. "Damnit Emma where are you?"
*Underground*
The echoes of the dripping water drops, the staleness of air and the pitch- blackness that filled everything around her was nothing short of a horror film. She was the young helpless girl. Alone, scared, bruised and broken and unaware of the danger that lay ahead. Emma wasn't one to complain. The broken rib and bruises the fall caused was nothing compared to the emotional pain she's been through. Besides, her new power helped the healing take affect sooner.
With exhaustion and dehydration setting in and the thought of never see any of her friends again she froze in her tracks ~Come on Emma, you can do this. Just a little bit further~ Straightening up she continued once more down the tunnel in search of a way out. Minutes soon turned into hours when she finally reached the end of the tunnel. In front of her stood the remains of a building. There were rusted metal stairs leading in every direction. They must have led another 100 feet underground. It looked as though it had been an underground operation that had been forgotten about over time. Emma placed her hands on the railing that guided her around the place. She arrived at a staircase and proceeded to go down them. As reached the middle of the staircase she felt grind on her hands. Not being able to see completely she brought her hand towards her nose and sniffed. "Rust!" she said to her self. Unsure of how much and how bad the staircase was rusted she slowly turned around and made her way back up. Sighing in relief after each step thanking that it didn't fall through, she reached a few feet from the top when the next stair she stepped on gave way. Luckily her hands were quick enough to catch the railing. Praying the railing didn't give out also she helplessly held onto the railings with all the strength she had left.
"Help! Somebody please HELP! BRENNAN!" Tears began to roll down her face as her rib cage and left arm ached in pain. Her fingers began to slip one by one. Her right hand was now the only thing that layed between her life and death. Her palms began to sweat from the grip she had on the railing, but it wasn't enough. Emma's hand gave away as it slipped off the railing.
As her hand slipped off the railing something seized her.
Emma glanced up from the firm grip around her wrist.
Gasping at the sudden hold she squinted her eyes trying to focus on the figure above her.
"Brennan? BRENNAN!" Her voice filled the air as her tears began to seize.
Brennan kept silent as he pulled her to the top of the stairs. As Emma reached the top she embraced Brennan, while he brought her away from the staircase.
Still embraced in his arms she lifted her head off his shoulder and looked into his eyes.
"Bren, I'm so happy to see you. I thought I'd never see you again, I'm so sorry-"
"Shhh it's okay. I'm here now," He said as he placed two fingers over her dried lips. As they stared into one another's eyes Brennan leaned in and kissed her.
Emma wanted to pull out of the kiss, but this is what she wanted deep down inside. Somewhere inside of her she knew this was what she'd been yearning for for so long, but there was something wrong ~this doesn't feel right~ Breaking the kiss Emma glanced up at the man she cared so much for only to find that he was no longer the man whom he seemed to be.
Please review and thanks to thoughs of you who still are (
To Emma0211: I would never kill off Emma; she's the best character on the show! But just because I wouldn't kill her off doesn't mean I wouldn't torture her! *Evil laugh*
