Disclaimer: I don't own them, I don't own them, I don't own them, I don't own them, I don't own them.
Author's Notes: Look I know that this story right now is being boring, but trust me it will get better. ( I hope, for your sake and mine)
Summary: The explorers run into some trouble. N/V a little M/R
Feelings
The life on the plateau took its course, the wild dinosaurs kept doing their noises, the natives kept doing their own things and the Challenger expedition was no exception.
Challenger sent Roxton, Veronica and Malone in a quest for plants while he and Finn stayed at the treehouse trying to build another radio.
"So you think that Challenger is gonna make a good one this time?" asked Malone while picking a plant.
"I don't know but he's definitely decided to do so." Answer Roxton
"Yeah" agreed Veronica "What next?"
"Mugwort."
At that Roxton's mind raced back to the time when he and Marguerite were looking for plants and she picked poison ivy because she thought is Mugwort, and once again he thought about the dreams. "Where are you my love? Give me a clue that you're alive."
"Earth calls Roxton!"
"Uh.What did you say.?"
"Are you okay? We've been talking to you for the past ten minutes without getting an answer from you."
"I'm okay Neddy boy I'm just a little distant today."
Suddenly they heard what it seemed like a scream.
"Someone's in trouble."
They all run into where the sound came and saw cannibals around the dead body of a woman no more then thirties. Almost instantly begun a fight. Roxton took care of the five that were around the corpse and Ned and Veronica run into the others. But when they thought that everything was finished one of the cannibals took a spear and pulled it into Malone chest.
"NO!!!" Veronica screamed while Roxton killed the native
Malone was unconscious and the wound looked serious.
"There's no time to take him to treehouse. We're near the Lizards city, we could him there." Said Roxton
"I don't trust them."
"It's Malone only chance, we have to try."
"We'll have to make a carrier."
"I'll build one, you try to take care of the primal things."
"Okay."
While Roxton was building the carrier Malone gain conscious, he decided not to disturb the young couple, but he could still hear them.
"Veronica."
"Don't talk Malone, try to get some rest, everything's gonna be fine."
"Please let me finish, if I."
"No that won't happen!"
"Listen. If I die, I won't you to know that I.love you no matter what. And that I'll always will."
"I love too Ned, please don't leave me" She planted a soft kiss on his lips.
....................................
"You deserve much more than you allow yourself to have. I love you, Marguerite. Don't you say I can't! Don't pretend you can't hear me."
"No, I'm not pretending."
"Then why can't you say it?"
"Even if it isn't true?"
"Isn't it? It's over. You can't keep running away. Your future, OUR future is now." Never taking his gaze from her face, he starts to lean in toward her.
"I love you" Marguerite blurts.
....................................
Roxton lost himself inside these memories, while making the carrier. When he was done he walked towards the couple, Malone was unconscious again. They putted him in the carrier and begun to walk. They were moving slowly and they had to make a lot of breaks to Veronica make sure that the wound was clean.
"If we don't get to the lizard city in two hours Malone may not make it Roxton"
"I know, we just have to keep going."
"If only there was a short cut."
"Let's go."
They kept walking for one more hour or so, till they decided to make another break.
"Hold on Malone." Whispered Veronica
Roxton was looking around making sure that they would not be surprised by unwanted guests, when he saw the figure of a woman. He looked back, Veronica was already picking up the carrier she didn't notice the woman, he looked again to the figure, it wear a black coat and had her back to him. Then she turned and he stopped breathing for what seemed an eternity. It was Marguerite; she was wearing a gray and black dress, and had a worried look on her face. She looked so sad, and yet so beautiful, that Roxton felt like his heart was not beating any more.
"This way" she pointed to a small trial a head of them, "That will lead you to the Lizard city; you'll get there more quickly."
And then she vanished like smoke.
"Roxton? Are you ready?"
".Yes. That way."
"I don't know that way, are you sure it's safe?"
"Yes, don't worry that will get us to the lizard city more quickly" 'I hope so' he added quietly to himself.
After walking half an hour they get to the lizard city. They were received by Tribune. Malone's wounds were treated and soon he was up. 'Like a new man' he said cheerfully.
All the way home Malone and Veronica flirted with each other, whish made Roxton think more of Marguerite and her sudden appearance. What could it mean, he certainly trusted the vision, but yet that's all that it was, a vision. They had no sign that Marguerite was dead, but neither that she was still alive, and all of these appearances, they sounded like she was some sort of a ghost, but he kept thinking also of her words: 'Did you ever found my body'. Of course not, if he had found out her lifeless body, surely we would be death by now, maybe not in body, but in his heart and soul.
....................................
"Where are they?"
"Finn calm down, I'm sure that they must be almost here, and that you're troubling yourself over nothing."
"I don't Challenger usually my instincts are correct. In the future your survival depends on them."
"Is it so terrible like that?"
"It's much worse than that. Live like a parasite in everywhere, fearing that you'll get caught and transported to the oilfields, praying every day that that won't happen. It's more than terrible Challenger only the ones who live than know what's like."
"Well." He was interrupted by the sound of the elevator coming up, "Must be the others"
....................................
Roxton was resting in his room and the others were gathered around the table telling what happened during the trip, including that they finally admitted their feelings.
"You know what it more intriguing?" said Veronica at the end
"What?"
"When we were resting for a while, for me to make sure that the wound was clean, Roxton kept looking to something, but when I looked I only saw the Lizard's city 'road' and another way, much more tight for people and much more wild in vegetation, and surprisingly when I called him, for us to keep going he said that we were going that way because it was closer."
"So what?" asked Finn
"I didn't knew that way, so how could Roxton knew it?"
"Maybe he founded out in one of his hunting trips" offered Challenger
"Challenger, we both know that there isn't much hunt in those parts." Veronica replied "Besides even Roxton didn't sound so sure of what he was saying."
....................................
"My lady we must go."
Veronica turned around to look at a poor servant.
"No."
"Your mother is expecting you."
"But I must protect Morrighan."
"Then bring her with you."
"Very well."
They were walking in the middle of the fields towards a palace when suddenly they were attacked and the last thing she remembered was seeing Morrighan being dragged to a black vortex screaming her name:
"VERONICA!!!"
