Thanks for the reviews guys! Keep 'em coming! I tried to make this a little easier to read.
Chapter 2
Sheridan awoke to a dark room. She lay still for a few minutes, waiting for her eyes to adjust. She silently crept over to the door and opened it a crack. One deep green eye peered through the slit at the group of mutants deep in discussion.
"We don't have anything to lose," the man said.
"Guys, when she ran into me, she was terrified. I immediately knew she was a telempath because I could feel it. I think we should hear her out." Sheridan's brows rose in recognition. She knew those eyes.
Sheridan pushed open the door and ran a hand through her shoulder- length blonde hair.
"I'm up," she announced.
All eyes turned to her and Sheridan's mind was flooded with emotions. Fear, hate, love, apprehension, confusion. She limped over to the couch and stood in front fo her rescuer.
"Thank you for saving me," she smiled at him shyly, extending her hand.
The man took it, squeezing it gently.
"So," Sheridan put her hands on her hips and turned to face the rest of the group. "I didn't catch your names."
"Oh, sorry," the man behind her placed his hands on her shoulders. "This semi-doctor here is Jesse, that is Shalimar, and this is Lexa. And I'm Brennan."
"Great," Sheridan plopped down on the couch between Shalimar and Jesse. Everyone stared at her expectantly. "What?"
"Before you passed out again you said you were sent by Adam to help save our lives," Lexa reminded her.
"Oh, did I?" Sheridan furrowed her eyebrows, trying to remember. "Doesn't sound like something I would tell you."
Lexa and Brennan glanced at her in amusement. Shal and Jesse were less than amused.
"Look, I'm going to put this plain and simple. We have nowhere to turn. We can't even go back to our home. We're camped out in a Safehouse," Jesse looked her straight in the eyes.
"Yes, I am aware of that," Sheridan leaned forward towards Jesse, raising her eyebrows.
"The point is, our biological clocks are ticking. Shalimar, Brennan, and I don't know how long we have to live and we could use all the help we can get," Lexa stood behind Jesse, placing a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
"Look, I'd love to help you, really, I would, but I can't," Sheridan shrugged sympathetically. "I don't really remember why Adam thought I would be able to help you. You see, I think I'm experiencing some emotional blocking out. I can't remember anything after being taken to the Dominion headquarters."
