Chapter 7: The Dream

Scully was running down a hallway that looked suspiciously like the Bureau's hallway except it had only one door which was at the end of the hallway. Standing in front of the door was Mulder. He was calling to her to help hum, to save him, but she just couldn't reach him.

Scully was getting more tired with each step, with each stride. Finally in desperation she called out, "Mulder!" But it was too late. There was a blinding light and Mulder disappeared. In his place was the Cigarette Smoking Man who was laughing at her.

Scully sank to the floor and started sobbing. She was too late, she had lost him.... He was goon, forever.

"Scully, wake up its just a dream," came a familiar voice from above her. "Wake up, please." The voice was soon followed by a pair a familiar hand which started to shake her shoulders. "Come on Scully, wake up" the voice cried out softly in her ear.

Scully woke up with a start and was surprised to see Mulder standing over her. One look at him and tears started to well up in her eyes.

Seeing her tears, Mulder put his arms around her and held her close. He whispered words of comfort in her ears while he rubbed her back gently.

Scully's walls around her heart shattered with each sob as she sat there in Mulder's arms, all those years of being the strong one of protecting her heart slowly melted away just leaving a lonely women in the arms of the one man she would ever love. *******Ok I know its short. It would have been longer but my computer crashed twice when I was writing this thing. Review and I promise I'll write chapter 8!.*************
