Chapter 11
Elizabeth gaped at the grotesque being leering before her and felt a wave of nausea rise up. Swallowing hard to push it back down she spun and immediately ran into another Wraith shuddering when it laughed mockingly.
Glancing frantically to the left and right Elizabeth saw two more of the enemy, who had appeared from nowhere, approach her so she was boxed in between four of them. Unable to see a way out of this trap she struggled for breath realising the inevitable.
Despite knowing how she must have reeked of fear Elizabeth still tried to stand straight and somehow found the strength to stare defiantly at the Wraith facing her.
Determined not to reveal anything as images of cullings and death flooded her mind Elizabeth pursed her lips.
"I will not tell you anything!" She spat and closed her eyes in an attempt to block the visions of her friends being feed upon.
When this began to work Elizabeth suddenly felt a hand wrap strongly around her neck and opened her eyes to see a Wraith's piercing stare.
"Oh but you will human!" It hissed and then in one forceful motion knocked the doctor over and pinned her to the hard ground.
The other Wraith remained standing circling the two on the ground, reinforcing their presence by laughing or goading at intervals. Grabbing the heavy Wraith's arms and then pressing against its shoulders Elizabeth let out a scream as she tried to push it off of her but knew it was no good.
Violently tipping her head back the Wraith was suddenly out of view but its breath still tickled her chin.
"Look at the sky!" It commanded in a loud growl.
Confused by the request Elizabeth tried to glance back at him but he jerked her neck again so all she could see was the pitch-black sky. It was now missing the stars and she fought to remain conscious as the Wraith's hold began to cut off her breathing.
"Picture your sky human!" The Wraith ordered again and Elizabeth flinched when some of its saliva landed on her face. "Tell me where your world is!"
It was then Elizabeth realised this had all been a ploy to reveal more about Earth in general as well as its position in space. Squeezing her eyes shut Elizabeth pictured the Pegasus Galaxy map often displayed on her laptop and cringed when the Wraith screamed in anger.
"No! Your own galaxy human!"
Pegasus, Pegasus, Pegasus…"It is no use."
"She is better to feed upon!"
"Yes, feed! Feed!"
Elizabeth felt the tight grip on her neck disappear and sucked in all the breath she could. The Wraith remained on top of her legs and waist and Elizabeth reluctantly opened her eyes to see four pairs of eyes roaming her quivering body.
The air she could now breath was irrelevant as she knew the end was about to come in a horrible, painful death by a race that had already decimated hundreds of worlds and races.
Donning a hard expression Elizabeth watched the creepy smirks appear one by one on each Wraith's face and then fearfully watched the one flattening her as he raised his hand.
"Pathetic humans. We will feed!"
As it's hand slammed into her chest Elizabeth screamed and welcomed the bright white light that engulfed her.
