Chapter Five

##MARINAS POINT OF VIEW##

Marna held Andres hand as they walked towards Doniger and Kramer. She was a bit worried that her finacee seemed to be really excited about this. She sure wasnt. She was just worried. But then she was always worried. She was pulled out of her thoughts when Kramer turned to Gordon.

"Frank, you have six hours and the clock is running." Marina frowned.

"Running?" She whispered to Andre, who just shrugged.

Frank nodded. "I understand."

Kate elbowed Marina. "Well I'm glad he does, because I sure dont!" Marina chuckled and glaned at Andre who just shot them a frown. Marina sighed. He wasnst doing a very good jon of trying to stop her from worring. If anything, he was making it worse. With another sigh Marina turned her attention back to Kramer who had opened a small box and began handing out necklaces with quarter size and shapelike things as pendants.

"These are your personel marker, wear them around your neck. You can use anyone of them to call for a return at anytime." He explained as he gave Marina her marker. "Frank will explain more clerely of how they work one you arrive. Most importantly, one marker brings all of you back. Do not lose them."

Everyone nodded.

"What about protection? Weapons?" Andre asked.

Gordon shook his head. "Nothing modern goes back, 'specially weapons."

Andre frowned as he glanced over at Marina who smiled. "We'll be fine Andre." She said as she suezzed his hand. She knew he wasnt frowning about the weapons, he was probably frowning because he didnt want to come. But heck, if he thought she was staying while HE ran off into another century, he was wrong.

"The markers are set for a six hour countdown." Kramer spoke up again.

Marina stared at Kramer for a moment. "What do you mean countdown?"

"In other words, the markers burn out after six hours."

Marina's mouth dropped open. "You mean, that when those markers burn out...we'll be stuck there!? Are you crazy?!"

"Dont worry Ms. Lubiano." Gordon reasured. "I'll get you back before you know it."

Marina scoffed. Doniger then turned to Francois and quickly grabbed his glasses. "Sorry Francios, but they dont have these back there, thats where we goofed up with the professor."

Francios tried to grab his glasses. "Oh, but I need...I dont see without them."

Doniger handed the glasses over to an assistant then turned back to the group. "I feel morally compelled to inform you that there is apparently a degree of pain that I am told is intenst but extremely fleeting. Forgive me, I dodnt want that to influence your desiocion. Good Luck."

##ANDRE POINT OF VIEW##

Andre rubbed his forehead with his hand. He wasnt too worried about this trip, if anything, he was excited about it, this was a chance of a lifetime. Andre glanced over at Marina who was throwing death glares at Donigers.

Frank spoke up. "Lets do it!" He walked up to the machne where Barreto and Gomez where waiting for them. Andre sighed as he let go of Marinas hand and began to walk up onto the strange machine.

"You all look great by the way." Doniger complimented the group on their costume choices. "Kate, Marina, you both look devine."

"Thanks." Kate replied. Marina just glared at Doniger. Andre chuckled slightly. He knew she was pretty upset with him about keeping the pain issue to himself until the last possible moment. But that was Marina. Andre held his hand out for Marina to grab and helped her onto the machine.

"Nervous?" He asked. She shook her head.

"Not really. I'm more freaked." She replied. Andre almost rolled his eyes at the weird choice of words.

"You know you cant talk like that once we get there."

"Oh shuddup Andre." Marina hissed.

Andre shrugged and was about to say somthing more, but Kramer interupted them.

"There's nothing to worry about. Just think of it as a field trip."

Doniger nodded. "Thats right, its every archelogists dream!"

Andre shook his head, he didnt get it, why where they even bothering saying that? They had all agreed to go already. There was no turning back. Gordon began to give everyone instructions on where to stand.

"Move slowly and make a circle around the parameter. Just relax. We'll be back before you know it. Mr Marek?" Andre glanced at Gordon who motioned to a spot next to Marina. "You need to take your position"

Andre nodded and stood next to Marina, who had begn to take deep breathes, trying to calm herself. Francios spoke what they were all thinking.

"What the heck are we doing?"

"We're getting a chance of a lifetime." Andre said as he took Marinas hand.

Baretto spoke to Francios. "Listen, there's nothing to worry about we're going to take care of you, alright? Just relax."

Andre nodded. He didnt think they could do anymore then he could, 'specially since they decided not to take any weapons. Suddenly teh 'mirrors' around them began to close. MArina held onto Andre's hand tighter. Andre winced slightly at how much pressure she was applying, but then he realized that he was doing the same and tried to relax his grip.

There was a loud clang and the doors closed, sealing them off from the rest of the lab. By now, everyone, including Gordon andhis two marines where breathing in deeply. Andre nearly yelped when the floor began to get hotter and hotter. Marina bit her lip as she closed hr eyes. Andre watched her in concern, but couldnt dwell on it too much longer. They all suddenly felt as they were falling through air. Every part of Andres body was in pain. Suddenly, he couldnt breathe. He fle tlike he was floating. When he opened his eyes he realixzed he was in water. With a couple strong strokes he was able to get back to the surface. Gasping he swam slowly aganst the current to a rock where the others had climbed onto.

With a quick glanced Andre suddenly went wide eyed. "Where's Marina?" He asked looking around frantically. "Has anyone seen Marina!?" Everyone quickly got up as they looked around.

"There! She's over there!" Chris shouted pointing to an area in the water. Andre paled as he saw Marina's still form just floating in the current. Andre was about to dive in the water, but Chris grabbed him. "No, you van help her any if you cant stay above the water. It will be easier to get her from land." Andre hated to admit it, but he knew that Chris was right. They both climbed down the the bank and began to run, tyring to catch up with Marina, who was floating right towards a water fall. Chris stopped at the edge of the bank, his mind turning. he glanced around and saw a tree branch hanging right above him, he grabbed it and gave it a few yanks, seeing if it would hold him. It did. Chris looked at the river and saw Marinas still form coming towards them, but just out of his reach. Looking behind him he could see Andre nearly going balistic. "Andre!" Chris called. He hald ot his hand. "Grab my hand, you need to get her!" Andre frowned as he tried to figure out what Chris was trying to say. "Andre! We dont have time for this, come on!"

Andre ran to Chris and grabbed his hand, then slowly waded into the water, Marina coming closer and closer. He reached out, but realized he wouldnt be able to get her like this. Andre closed his eyes. He should never had let her come. Chris's shouting brought him back to the present, and without another thought, Andre jerked out of Chris's grasp and towards Marinas still form.

"ANDRE!" Chris yelled as he tried to grab his hand but ended up with nothing but water. Thinking quickly he grabbed Andre's ankle just beforee he was out of reach. He cursed under his breath as he tried to keep his grip on Andre's slippery ankle.

Andre grabbed Marinas dress by the hem and held on tightly. He felt Chris grab hs ankle and silently thanked him. Slowly Chris began to pull them all back to shore. After what seemed like years they finaly got there, both men panting. When Andre had set Marina down Chris hit him across the head.

"You idiot! You could have killd you both! i told you NOT to let go!" Chris began yelling. Andre just sighed.

"Shut up Chris. Are you going to tell me that you wuldnt have done the same exact thing if that was Kate, instead of Marina?" Andre asked.

Chris looked down on at the ground with a sigh. "You're right I probably would have, its just..."

Andre nodded. "I know." He patted Chris on the shoulder. "But thanks man, we owe you one."

"Andre! Chris!" Kate yelled as she ran to them. She gave Chris a hug. "Oh my gosh. I saw what happened. You idiots! You both could hae gotten killed...." SHe looked at Marinas still form. "Is she going to be alright?"

Andre bent down and examined Marina quickly. He smiled slightly as he looked back up at theothers. "She'll be fine, she must have justhit her head." His smile dissappeared when he saw Gordon jogging up to them. He stood up with fire in his eyes. "You" He pointed at Gordon. "This is all your stinking fault. Why didnt you warn us that we were going to land in wter!? She could have died."

"Because I didnt know." Gordon said as he raised his hands, trying to calm Andre. "We've always arrived on land. We've never actually arrived in the water."

Andre felt like punching Gordon, but was intrupted.

"Andre?" Marina asked as she slowly opened her eyes. Andre bent down next to her. "What happened?"

Andre smiled slgithly, thankful she was alright. "We seemed to arrive in water, and you must have hit your head."

Marina nodded. "That would explain the headache." Gordon came up to the two.

"Ms.Lubiano, can you walk?"

Andre stood up. "She needs to rest, she just..."

"Yes I understand that, but that doesnt change the fact that we need to keep moving."

Marina grabbed Andre's arm, stoping him from hitting Gordon. "Andre, he's right, we need to keep moving,. Its to dangerous to stay in one spot."

Andre looked down at his fiancee and sighed. "Alright." Marina smiled as she held her hand up. Andre grabbed it and pulled her to her feet. "You alright?" She nodded.

Gordon began to walk ahead of them. "Come on follow me."

Kate jogged up to him. "Gordon, is this it?"

"i think so."

"you think so?" Chris asked. "Are we in 1357 France or I mean this could be my Grandparents hourse in Oregon."

Gordon turned to them. "Trust me. We're in 1357 France."

A/N: Well here it is, Chapter Five. I was a bit lucky, seems my Unclehas a computer, but the thing is slowerer than a turtle. Oh and I apologize for any spelling mistakes, but he doesnt have spell check, and it takes forever (like FORVER!!!) to do it at FF.Net But when i get back home I'll fix up any spelling mistakes. Also, I'll try and get at least one more chapter, maybe even two uploaded before I leave.

Anyhow, hope you liked this chapter, and pls review!!
