----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A chill crept up her spine as she awoke. Was she dreaming? Had everything really happened?

The only way to know was to open her eyes, brave whatever reality she was in. Deal with things as they came her way. As her eyes fluttered open to see where she was, every scrape, scratch, and bruise on her body began to throb. A headache hitting her like a ton of bricks. Then she began to remember…… there was a man….wings….a fight…her blood spilling out onto the floor….then everything went black. There was nothing…nothing but the void.

Shal tried to move her hands to check her body for any more damage, only to find that her hands had been bound by chains. She tried to tilt her head up to see where she was, but it was no use. The room was pitch black, and barren, smelling slightly of mold and dust. There were no windows, no furniture, no trap doors to escape through, there was……nothing.

It was exactly as it seemed at first glance. Shal decided to rely on her feral senses to tell her what her ordinary brown eyes could not. Reaching out with all of her senses, she changed her once brown eyes to their brilliant golden cat irises. Penetrating the darkness with her gilded eyes, but even with her enhanced vision there wasn't much to see. It was exactly as it was before, a small four walled room, no windows, the only things there, were a door, her chair, and Shalimar Fox herself.

Shal's first instinct was the struggle against her bonds, to try to break free and find the bastard who did this to her. Even though she knew it was futile to do so she went ahead and struggled anyways. The chains pinching and tearing her skin as she moved against them. She tried everything she could think of, but got no further then where she started from. Finally after two hours of struggling Shal let the exhaustion overwhelmed her, and the darkness claimed her once again.

Then as quickly as her cage had been there, it was gone. Replaced by the beautiful scene of a warm sandy beach.

"Hey you…."

She knew that voice…….but it couldn't be….could it?

Running as fast as she could, throwing herself into his muscular arms, "Brennan!"

Kissing him as if she hadn't seem him in an eternity, "I thought I would never see you again…." Tears forming in her eyes, and as much as she tried to blink them back she couldn't.

"Hey, hey, why are you crying?" Bringing his large hands up to her cheek, whipping away her tears.

"Because…..this isn't real, I'm somewhere else….somewhere away…away from…"

"Away from what?" concerned filling his voice.

"Away from you….the team…everyone…. And this…this is just a dream. I'll have to go back to reality sometime."

Brennan hugged her tighter, engulfing her small body in his, "No you don't, this is what's real."

Shal cried into his chest, "But it's not….and even if I don't want to…I'll have to wake up."

"No….Stay…. stay with me." Bringing his fingers underneath her chin, tilting her head up slightly, "There's no where else, just this… and us"

Shal leaned forward and just as there lips were about to meet she awoke…… Feeling a pair of cold hands near the wound on her head.

Hissing in pain as the foreign hands touched the wound with some sort of antiseptic.

"Get your god damn hands off me!" she growled as she saw a pair of wings out of the corner of her eye. Struggling as best she could against her bonds, trying to wriggle out of his grip.

"Stop moving! I can't clean out the wound if you won't stop! Your just going to make it worse."

"I don't need your help!" Fighting harder than ever, "and you better hope I NEVER get out of these chains…..because when I do, I'm gunna tear you to pieces!"

"Such hostility." he said, sarcasm filling his voice.

"My hostility is the least of your problems pal!" turning her head, attempting to bite her captors hand.

"Ahh a feisty little kitty, he always loved the feisty ones." his face remaining calm, his features placid.

"Who?" She said with genuine curiosity.

"As I said before….all in good time." Putting down the bottle of antiseptic and picking up some gauze, "You know this whole thing would be so much easier if you would just calm down and except your fate."

"Oh is this the part where you tell me all about your diabolical plan, because I bet I could care less if I put some real effort into it."

Her captor laughed lightly, "Feisty and she has a sense of humor. I'm beginning to see why he chose you." Tossing aside some gauze full of blood, "All done, now don't you feel better?"

"You know what would make me feel better?"

"What?" he said playfully.

"Plucking all your little feathers out, and then tearing your head off!" she spat.

"Ohh ouch Baby, now that was harsh." his voice filled with sarcasm, one hand over his heart as if she had actually hurt him.

Shal smirked, "I know you think that was suppose to be an insult so I'll go ahead and be offended."

"Oh your good baby, we should have a fun time together."

"You had better pray it's not too long, because when I do get loose, I'm comin after you."

"Ya that's what they all say." He sighed lightly , "Well I guess I gotta go and take care of some business." Turning his back to her, "Oh and try not to hurt yourself, those chains are re-enforced for ferals like you, they aren't breaking anytime soon. And I need you alive and in fairly good condition if my plan is to work." Giving her an evil smile before making his way out the door.

Once again Shal was left all alone in the dark, where? Who knows? For how long? No one but her mystery man could say.
