Title: The Lost World Fourth Season Series

Disclaimer: This sucks! I don't own them. And I can say it a thousand times but my brain doesn't accept it. Silly isn't it?

Summary: The explorers start they're journey in search of the Key.

Author's Notes: I'm sorry for not having this updated sooner, but my school is killing me, I just had my first negative grade, and I'm not in the mood for anything. Thank you guys sooo much for your reviews. It's great to know that people appreciate your work:

Challengerspet, I would love to know why people always think the worst of me...I'm not that bad! But thanks for the review.

TheChosenOne3, I think that Marguerite still has a lot of stuff to reveal, and a very painful past. Come on, I know that not liking children could be a normal thing, but for someone as fragile as Marguerite there had to be a logical explanation, and I tried to find it. Yeah I think I know what you mean about karma and Marguerite, but for such a character as her, Karma has never had enough. And of course the Lost World goes deeper and deeper than what it seems! As for the "I can't wait for this bloody journey to be over so that the real fun can begin!" we share the same feeling!!!

Keys3303, thank you for your review, yes, it's good to add Summerlee in the story, but now I have a small dilemma, I never really saw him on the episodes, because I only started to REALLY watch The Lost World on Second Season, for my unfortunate happiness, so I don't know exactly how he acts to the very most kind of situations, I think I just have to trust in the other writers, and hope that from what I've read in their stories I can build his character.

A. Windsor, from what I read, I think I would love Summerlee's character as well.

Kistis, thanks for your review.

Dreama, I do believe that was your longest review! Thanks for your review, you're a great friend, yes, I do think I have one big, no, HUGE, imagination, as for the good writer..I don't know, I don't think so. And about the part of never thinking Marguerite's past could be so bad: If you had read my idea for that chapter you could had said something about it. Experience?! Bah, you were the one who was in some kind of depression some year ago, and no mater what people would tell you, you would to never listen.... An autograph? Whatever for? You already have thousands of signatures of mine!! ( If you wanna know what happens next press down and find out. P.S. - STOP CALLING ME BLONDIE!! I'm not!!

The Key

"That tramp!! She's throwing herself at Roxton!!!"

Marguerite walked beside the others in deep though. A few miles ahead of the treehouse Zeilen manage to faint due to the heat, and Roxton was carrying her. Marguerite was getting crazy about it. She somehow didn't trust Zeilen, it seemed that she was putting herself between Roxton and Marguerite, and Marguerite did not like that at all.

"She'll see, she will regret the day when the thought: Roxton will be mine!, crossed her mind!!!"

A few steps behind Finn watched her friends. It was obvious that Marguerite didn't like the guardian being in Roxton arms. Veronica and Ned were too distracted with each other to notice anything and Challenger and Summerlee were oblivious to the rest of the world, so deep in their conversation about the last scientific events.

Finn deep inside felt somewhat apart of the group, yes, she loved everyone, but it was on moments like these ones that she felt like she didn't belong. It was strange, the plateau was her home, and she considered her friends the family that she never got the chance of really knowing, but she also felt sometimes that she was always on the outside of a mirror looking at the others.

"I think we should rest here!" Roxton warned. His arms were sore and he had the strange feeling that if Marguerite's eyes could kill, he would be dead by now.

"I agree!" Summerlee said, "I'm far too old for these things."

Roxton let go of Zeilen and went to see how Marguerite was doing.

"Hey beautiful!"

She didn't answer.

"Marguerite? What's wrong?" he asked sitting right in front of her.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? That common trek, is throwing herself at you! What do you think that's wrong??"

"Why Marguerite are you jealous?" He teased, but seeing the way she looked at him, he said" Look Marguerite, I love you, and there's nothing or anyone that can change that."

She looked at him, thinking that she really didn't deserve him.

"I love you too." She said just as their lips met.

............................................................................ .................

That night they decided to stay at the Zanga Village, it was more comfortable, and besides Veronica got the chance to see Assai.

Almost everyone had gone to bed; only Finn, Roxton and Marguerite were up. Roxton was looking at Marguerite, whose look was blank, and Finn was sitting in a chair looking at her friends, and wondering for the tenth time what was happening between them.

Suddenly seeing Zeilen coming near Roxton, and seeing the look on Marguerite's face, she called him. When he came to her, she said:

"Roxton, I think you have to be careful about this Guardian....."

"Why?" he asked astonished

"Well I don't know if you noticed but she is making Marguerite really angry."

"Yes I've noticed. But there's nothing I can do Finn."

"Well you have to think of something. Because Marguerite is not liking it at all, and the next thing you'll notice is Zeilen getting a kick right in her but."

"Finn..!!" He sounded horrified and was ready to lecture her, but she had already got up and left.

But those words got him thinking about Marguerite again. It wasn't just Zeilen, who was coming between him and Marguerite, but those memories in the temple, she was pushing him away, and he felt like he couldn't do anything.

He walked to her.

"Marguerite.."

"What?" she said not looking at him

"I.....do you want to walk with me?"

"....okay."

They walked side by side neither saying anything, until they passed a small group of children and Roxton saw the hurt look on Marguerite's face.

Was it always there when they came in to the Zanga village? It pained him to know that maybe so, but he was to preoccupied with something else to really notice it.

"Marguerite, do you wanna talk about it?"

"Whatever for, talking won't solve anything, talking won't bring people back!" she said in a crying tone

"But it will help to ease the pain. Please don't shout me out here, I want to help in every way that I can."

She sat on a log and fell silent. He sat next to her without talking either, wanting to her give the first step.

"It was six years before I came to this god forsaken place, I was married to Pierre, I was not in love with him, but I did care the enough to marry, we had a little girl called Marie, she was so beautiful, and we were happy in our own way. But Pierre was a gambler and he gambled with the wrong people, that day I went to the doctor, and when I came home, I was so happy because I had founded out that I was pregnant, I saw them....I lost the baby, I lost them..." She was almost crying

"Sh..it's okay"

"She was such a cute child, I used to call her my most precious treasure, if only you could have seen her smile, she was even prettier when she laughed, and the way she called me 'mama' was..." She trailed of

"Did you ever found who was the killer?"

"Yes, it was a German, in fact that was what got me involved in the war."

"What happened to him?"

"He's dead."

"Did you...?"

"No, it was an English spy, actually the very one who invited me to participate in the war."

He took her in his arms, asking himself how someone could endure such burden for so long. Marguerite gladly stayed in the safe circle of his arms, and there she cried.

............................................................................ .................

That night she dreamed again with Avalon. Avatars were seen everywhere, fighting against other warriors. Roxton was there too, he had chains in his arms, but he managed to fight against Gaalad. Suddenly chains appeared in his legs as well, and he fell to the floor. Gaalad saw his chance and stabbed Roxton on his heart. Marguerite cried out seeing this, and tried to run but the scene changed and she was standing in front of a cave with a strong light coming from inside. Then something like a dark shadow started to come after her, and she started to run.

"Marguerite!" It was calling "Marguerite!"

"Let me GO!"

"Marguerite!!" she woke.

Roxton was right in front of her.

"Are you alright?" he asked concerned "Why were you screaming like that?"

"Nothing, just a bad dream, lets go back to sleep."

............................................................................ ....................

The next day the explorers continued their journey.

"It's only a few more miles I assure you." Summerlee said

"Summerlee you told us that about three hours ago." Malone stated

"Yes, but that's because we were a little bit lost three hours ago and now we're not."

"Lost? Hours?" Challenger asked not believing his ears.

"Well...."Summerlee started

But then a huge roar was heard.

"What was that?" Zeilen asked

"T-Rex!" Marguerite shouted, "Run!"

The T-Rex was coming in their way. They all split up, and the T-Rex amused himself running after Marguerite and Zeilen.

They both refuge themselves on a cave.

"Great!! Can this day get any better?!"

The T-Rex roared again. They stayed quiet for almost an hour when Zeilen finally said:

"It looks like we're staying for a while isn't it?"

"Oh really and who taught you that? Lord Roxton?"

To Marguerite's surprise Zeilen laughed at her.

"No, but not that he wouldn't want to."

"You...." Marguerite started not even noticing that the T-Rex was already gone.

"Me what? You can do whatever you want but he won't stay with forever and you know it, you can feel it. Besides the Elders would never aloud it, and you know why? Because they're scared, so afraid that their little insignificant ruler will die"

Before Marguerite could answer that, they heard Roxton's call:

"Marguerite!"

Soon they saw him at the caves' entrance.

"Are you alright?" he asked his lady love.

"Yes, just fine..."

Roxton gave her a little kiss and said:

"Come on the others are waiting."

............................................................................ .................

"There we are!! At last!" Summerlee said

"It's here?" Veronica asked

"Yes, we're in the entrance of once a very powerful city, El Dourado."

"But we found people from El Dourado last year, and this place is deserted." Veronica said recalling their encounter with the Giant

"Yes, it could have been people from here, the long last survivors, but the city is now desert, the people who still lived here are now in Avalon."

They started to walk, when they heard something.

Out from nowhere came a black rider in their way and grabbed Marguerite.

"LET GO OF ME!!" she shouted angrily but when she looked at his face and fainted

The others looked at that stupefied, while Roxton screamed:

"MARGUERITE!!!"
