Chapter 4(Sorry about it being short!)
Okay I am abit worried about flames after this chapter...I would appreciate it if I wasn't burnt to a crisp...the next couple of chapters follow this angst theme but I repeat THIS IS NOT A DEATH FIC I couldn't bring myself to kill either Shalimar or Brennan. I just like testing them ;)
The helix landed and Brennan and Shalimar disembarked, the sanctuary was completely empty.
"Well we've got the whole place to our selves what do you want to do first "asked brennan
"How about we go sit down I don't know why I'm just really tiered" replied Shalimar
Brennan looked at her with concern
"Are you okay?" he asked, certain of the answer
"Yea it's probably nothing" she shook her head
"Well then let me carry you" Brennan grinned
And before Shalimar could protest Brennan had picked her up and was walking to the lounge. Once they reached it Brennan and Shalimar sat down and picked up a bottle and some glasses- the left overs from their month of boredom.-
"This is nice" thought Shalimar out loud
"Yea I could get used to it being just the two of us" he leaned in next to Shalimar and was just
about to put his arms around her when he felt a cold liquid hit his face
"Shy! What was that for?" Brennan practically squealed in protest
"That was for insulting my cooking" replied a victorious Shalimar
"This means war Shalimar"
"Bring it on!" was Shalimar's reply
Shalimar leaped up and began her escape into the heart of sanctuary with Brennan close behind; the "hunt" lasted about five minutes until Shalimar had to stop from exhaustion.
"Hey?" Brennan asked when he caught up the exhausted Shalimar
"Are you sure you're okay" worry evident in his eyes.
"Yea I'm fine must be a bug" She leaned into Brennan
"You wouldn't mind carrying me again would you" Shalimar grinned, at least this bug had its up sides.
She felt his arms encircle her and she looked up into his eyes but his face seemed...different.
"Brennan...?" It was the same intense stare he had given her earlier.
"Maybe you should put me down brennan...you don't look to good." But there was no reaction.
"Brennan seriously I'm sorry about throwing the water on me but let me go" But Brennan's grip tightened
"Brennan! You're hurting me LET ME GO" screamed Shalimar to the unflinching Brennan
"Sorry Shalimar I cant do that" came an alien voice.
"What do mean you can't do that let me go!" Shalimar cried in outrage
The humour that had existed only a few seconds earlier vanished. Shalimar could feel the confinement of her chest, air was becoming scarce. She struggled and tried to push Brennan away but in her weakened state she wasn't strong enough to break his hold
Shalimar become desperate she tried furiously to claw her way out of Brennan's arms but to no effect.
"Night, night kitty" came the unfamiliar voice Brennan's grip weekend slightly just enough to let Shalimar take a breathe but before she could flee his arms he swung her into the wall the sickening hollow snap of a bone echoed in the room and Shalimar screamed out in pain. She never saw Brennan's punches coming but she felt all of them.
"Brennan stop" she sobbed but she only received a kick in the stomach and another broken rib. She sank to the floor in sobbing heap until the pain and exhaustion over powered her and unconsciousness claimed her.
