This carries on directly from chapter 4. Enjoy.
On with the story.
John couldn't believe what he'd just heard.
"She can't be, she would have told me if..."
John slid down the wall and sat on the floor. He buried his head in his hands. Beckett sat down next too him.
"From what I can guess the Wraith is control of Elizabeth's body, it's feeding off of her life force, like that Wraith bug did to you; from what I guess Liz can only take control of her body infrequently and for small amounts of time. I'm guessing that's the reason she stabbed herself."
John raised his head from his hands.
"So, she stabbed herself to kill the Wraith?"
"She may have succeeded, there's very little chance that the Wraith will survive."
"And Liz?"
Beckett ran his fingers through his hair.
"John, Liz is extremely weak, the only think that's kept her alive the passed two months is the Wraith, I don't know if she'll survive when...if it dies."
Tears were forming in John's eyes.
"But, you told them" he gestured up the corridor to where Ford, McKay and Teyla had disappeared moments before "that she was okay"
"No, I told them she was alive."
Beckett got up from the floor
"John, I think Liz needs you at the moment, just too be there for her, while she goes through this."
He pushed opened the door to infirmary
"Whenever you're ready."
He walked into the infirmary.
John sat on the floor for a few more minutes. A few tears ran out of John's eyes and down his cheek. John quickly pushed his tears off his cheek stood up and entered the infirmary.
