Coming to Terms
Chapter three - Knowing what you must face
Echo 24 - Thank you, I agree, Harper angst is much needed. Nureek - You want the next chapter? You want to see what's next? Not a lot! LMAO Parisindy - Cute? I hate cute but it was what I was hoping for, have joined site, I think you noticed! Lmao Shaz - Thank you, Two towers does indeed rock, it's my fave movie at the moment. Rev's pretty cool too. I'm glad you liked the door bit, I was sure it was a little simple at first but it seemed to fit. The episode was called 'The Widening Gyre' my mum got me the companion thing for my 18th (October 2nd).

After he had taken his meds, Harper made his way back to where he had been working. 'Cold in hand and heart and bone, cold be travellers far from home.' He paused in his stride as the quote assailed his mind. 'What is it with my brain today?' He continued on trying to clear his head of all thoughts, 'To me or not to be, that is the question,' He mentally growled at himself, 'Stupid Shakespeare, ยด He thought bitterly, he had never studied Shakespeare in his life and yet the dead English bard had seemed to find a way into his mind anyway. 'Ok brain, here's the deal no more quotes.'
He was soon entering the narrow crawl space upon his hands and knees; he was entering from the direction he had left, the opposite way that Rev Bem had entered, "Rev, you still around?" He questioned before he rounded the corner.
"Yes, of course,"
"Good,"
He was soon next to the Magog, lying on his back so he could repair things. "Do you think we'll get the ship fixed before she gets hit again?" Harper queried, more for something to say then for not knowing, 'Andromeda' could fix herself if need be.
"It is your job to ensure she works,"
"I suppose,"
There was a short silence, Harper felt awkward and he knew the Magog felt as bad. "Harper," Rev Bem started and yet he seemed unable to continue. The young blond haired male looked to him; somehow, the manic energy had vanished from his eyes to be replaced by fear, hopelessness and sleepiness. "Why are you out here? Would you not be of more use in engineering?"
Harper's eyes want to the decking, Rev Bem was right his place was in engineering but he could not bring himself to be back in there - whilst he had had to be there to help fix 'Andromeda' he was not sure that he could bring himself to go back there again without a due cause. "Uh . yeah, I have stuff to do out here first."
Rev Bem's brown eyes locked with Harper's, the screaming pain of Harper's soul leaking out through the sparkling blue jewels. "Perhaps you are avoiding it," He tried softly, thinking for a moment that he had gone too far. The boy dropped his gaze away from the aliens; he had managed to target the issue without much effort. "If someone were with you then I am sure it would help."
"You offering?"
"If you think my presence would help,"
"It can't make things any worse," The two quickly gathered up the equipment and Harper made the crawl back to the wider corridors quickly, turning to help Rev Bem up, ignoring the slight clench in his stomach as he did so.
~*~*~
AN: Quotes this time are from Gollum again, I do not own the Lord of the Rings still, but hell do I want it. And the Quote 'To be or not to be' is from Hamlet, a play I studied last year and the speech is about suicide if you wondered about the significance, I would if I did not know.
Please leave a review if you see fit.
