Chapter ten: Watched

Shalimar and the man ran for almoast 10 minutes straight when she stopped their way. They were in the middle of a dark alley.

"We're far enough.. I... I thought you were dead!" Shalimar said letting him know she was sure it was him behind all that black clothing. He revealed himself to her and sighed.

"Shal its a long story..." He started. Shalimar's eyes filled with tears as she hughed him with all her strenght. Brennan gently touched her face and wiped her tears away.

"What the hell happened???" Shalimar asked him confused.

"We gotta get out of here.. lets go.." Brennan started but was interrupted.

"Yeah, Sanctuary is the safest place to go now." Shalimar said. They both went on walking.

"No, Shal... that's the thing..." Brennan said scared of telling her what had happened.

"What's the thing?" Shalimar asked him.

"There is no Sanctuary." Brennan responded.

( )

Lexa entered the room and started searching for the boss, T.D something.

"Im here." Lexa announced herself.

"Good.. you must be Lexa Pierce.. my pleasure.. im Gabriel Ashlocke." The man was sitting on some sort of throne. Lexa waited for him to go on speaking.

"Well, you must be wondering why do I need you for? Answer is simple: nothing. Who I wanted was Shalimar Fox, not you. That's why im gonna send you killed." Ashlocke said very calmly. Lexa backed off a bit and started running but Ashlocke shot her with his powers and knocked her out. Suddenly a bunch of men entered.

"Take her with the rest.. let Emma take care of her." Ashlocke said again.

( )

Brennan had told Shalimar everything that happened. She was not taking it well.

"Ashlocke is back???? He is the Destroyer?? Well he wont have a chance to detroy anyone since im gonna kill him first!" Shalimar said angrily.

"Shalimar just calm down.. we have to think of a way to get him soon.. before he hurts Adam and the rest.." Brennan said possing a hand on her shoulder.

"You bet we will..." Shalimar said. Suddenly Brennan backed off from her.

"What is it?" Shalimar asked at the sudden reaction.

"Nothing.." Brennan said with effort. A sylver energy started sorrounding him.

"What's that? Oh god Brennan you're mutating again... when you shot that guard with a tesla coil.. it was a different one.." Shalimar realised. She approached him but Brennan backed off again.

"What the hell you think you're doing? Just stay away from me okay?!! Im gonan work this out.." He said closing his hand as the energy dissapeared.

"Oh no, not again.. you're not gonna "work this out" on your own, last time it didn't work. Want it or not you're with me in here." Shalimar said kind of pissed.

"Shal, there is no one I would rather being with than you." He assured her. Shalimar caught his chin and leaned for a kiss.

"I want you to know something.. im not sure if we'll still be here tomorrow, so.. I.. wanted to tell you.." She was interrupted. The door was teared appart and a bunch of agents started coming in. Shalimar and Brennan broke appart immediately as they both adopted fighting positions. The agents started attacking Shalimar, who jumped and kicked two of them. Brennan started with the muscle, punching and hitting every agent that got on his way. It took them about 10 minutes to end up every guard. Shalimar and Brennan stared at each other kind of scared.

"They knew where we are..." Brennan said as he took Shalimar's hand and dragged her towards a window.

"Yeah nice view, now what?" She said confused.

"We can't go down the regular way... knowing Ashlocke he has everything undercontrol and waiting for us to get out.. so we'll have to jump out the window." Brennan said touching the frames and preparing for a punch.

"Fine for me, feral here..." Shalimar said with a smile. Brennan punched the window, glass breaking. He brushed the little pieces of glass and let Shalimar first. He helped her up and she jumped landing perfectly on the floor. Brennan did the same and caught up with her.

"You okay? Your knuckles are bleeding.." She said as she took his hand to examinate the wound.

"I'll live, unforrtunately I cant say for how long if we stay here." He said running with Shalimar. He saw a car and started it with his elecrticity. He noticed Shalimar's look. "What?" Brennan thought Shalimar was thinking on the times he used to go robbing and stealing others cars and stuff so he couldn't help to get a bit hurt. Shalimar got in the car and when he was going to drive she stopped him and took his hand one more time.

"If you're driving, let me get that fixed for you.." She said wrapping his knuckles with a piece of her t shirt. Brennan thanked and they started their way.

"We gotta get back to that place... security will be a challenge though.." Shalimar said to Brennan. It was about 12 pm and no cars were seen on the streets.

"Yeah.. but there is something that worries me more than Ashlocke and the guards to get to him.." Brennan said.

"And what is that?" She asked curioused. What could be possibly worse than Ashlocke?

"What The Dominion is gonna do... they've been using us to eliminate mutants from all the world, right? Well they are surely not gonna sit around and glare, are them? And knowing them, they must know everything by now, about Ashlocke being free, about Sanctuary's explotion, about Adam's, Lexa's and Jesse's kiddnapping... And another thing is Emma... Whatever got into that girl.. is weird.. and we're not gonna let her remain in that new personality of hers..." Brennan said.

( )

"Wake up girl.. I can't torture you if you're unconscious.." Emma said sending Lexa a blast. Lexa woke up immediately as she saw Emma standing right besides her.

"Emma?" Lexa called. She tried to stand but was immovilized by the tied up chains all around her body.

"Shhh.. you're gonna wake Jess here.." Emma said with a smile. Lexa looked at Jesse and then at Emma. The molecular had some bad injuries.

"What did you do to him?" Lexa asked in an angy tone.

"Just.. having fun..." Emma replied. "But dont get jealous.. is our turn to enjoy my kind of fun Lex.." Emma said. she approached to Lexa and kicked her hard, then blasted her and punched her several times.

"Stop! Emma this is not you... you gotta help me, us! Adam is gonna be killed I know! That's why Ashlocke wanted him here! You have to let me out and take care of jess.. he is very hurt! Please just.. help me." Lexa pleaded. Tears started falling down her cheek. Emma's eyes went back to normal.

"Lexa.. im so sorry.. oh my god Jesse!" She shouted. She was about to untie them when Ashlocke appeared.

"Emma.. don't listen to her.. you're already mine." Ashlocke said getting into the psyonic's mind. Emma started to shake violently as Ashlocke went on exploring and hurting her on her mind. Suddenly Brennan shot him with a sylver tesla coil that slammed him against teh wall hardly. Shalimart went to Emma's aid and softly moved her aside.

"Sha.. Shalimar?" Emma asked dizzy.

"Yeah its me.. just dont try talking.. you're very weak Emm.." Shalimar said.

"That hurt sparky boy.." Ashlocke said to Brennan while preparing to shoot him.

"It was meant to." Brennan said. He approached to him and started punching him, and kicking him hard. Shalimar started to pay more attention to the fight taking place in front of her. She moved carefully towards Lexa and untied her. Lexa went straight to Jesse and did the same.

"Hey Lex.." He managed to say. Lexa kissed him sofly.

"You're bad Jess..let me take care of you.." Lexa said so he wouldn't speak. Shalimar saw Brennan punched Ashlocke several times, when the last one hit him instead.

"You thought that was actually me fighting you? Let me tell you Mulwray... That's not even close to the real me." Ashlocke approached and shot him with energy.

"Brennan!" Shalimar shouted. She came closer to him and helped him up. " Are you okay?

"Yeah.. watch out!" He said as Ashlocke shot another blast. Brennan rolled Shalimar and got the blast for her.

"Isn't that lovely? I mean I can't believe 3 whole years passed and you still didn't tell her... Mulwray you're dissapointing me.. anway im gonna get her so you'll be glad you didn't..." Ashlocke said. Shalimar looked at him and gave her her feral eyes. Then looked at Brennan who was standing immediately.

"Brennan... Brennan! You have to stop! He'll kill you!" Shalimar said grabbing Brennan's arms.

"He will kill me? Gee please dont you trust me that much.." Brennan said ironicaly.

"Dont blame her Mulwray.. she is just saying what's right.." Ashcloked said.

"SHUT- UP!" Brennan said as his hands started forming a tesla coil. Suddenly it became sylver and bigger.

"Brennan??" Jesse said. Lexa had taken care of his wounds and he was now up and confused. "We thought you.. oh no.. its that sylver thing again... we gotta get out from here!" Jesse said.

"No.. I can control it now.." Brennan said. He shot that to Ashlocke but it seemed to had no effect on the man, who absorved it. "What the..?"

"I don't like being observed, what about you Mulwray?" Ashlocke said. In about seconds the room was sorrounded by a weird force field. The guys tried to get in but didnt succed.

"Shalimar stop! It wont open up! Lets find another way shall we?" Jesse said.

"But Brennan.." She started.

"He is a big boy Shalimar, he can handle him.. just give him a little faith.." Lexa said looking at Jesse.

"Emma is there too." Shalimar remembered. The psyonic was too weak to move and it all happened so fast they couldn't even get to her.

"Lets split up, we go for Adam, and then we're out of here.." Lexa said when a man appeared in front of them.

"Digger..." Shalimar said. "I take him.. go for Adam." She said again. Lexa and Jesse left running and went for Adam.

"Shalimar... I don't wanna hurt you.. I kinda liked you.. so back off and let me get Lexa. She is gonna die." Digger said.

"Yeah, we may all will... but you'll go first." She said. She approached and started attacking him. It didnt pass much time when Digger was lying on the floor unconcsious.
