A/N: sorry I haven't uploaded in so long, but a lot's been gong on. I graduate from eight grade on the 2nd, so they've been piling crap on us. I'm going to try to upload all the chapters I can today, along with my Star Wars fic.
If any of you out there are Star Wars fans, could you stop by and read it when it's uploaded? It's called Beneath the Surface and it's my first ever SW fic that's gone beyond three sentences. Thanks guys!
Angelii: more than one-a-day, got it! I'm going to try to upload ALL of Fallen today, so that'll make you happy!
prin69: that chapter's the last time we'll get to see Terla. I finally finished Part I, so I know all... lol. hell if I know what I'm doing in Pt II, though!
Vee017: no problem! I'll be updating all day!
Iara: here's your next chappie! enjoy!
Jamieson Z: long chapters will be starting with chap10 I believe. Thanx for sticking w/ me!
Chapter 8
Adrenaline kept Beka going, far past the point where she would have collapsed from sheer exhaustion. From the subtle buzz in her palm, she could tell that her pistol was almost out of charge. She wanted to run the other way and hide on the Maru, but falling wreckage had cut them off the hanger her ship was docked in. Suddenly, Beka stumbled and fell with a cry of pain.
Instantly Xena was on her knees beside her as Telemachus and Boa stood guard over the two females. Beka's foot had been caught in a hole burned in the decking. The Nietzschean female examined the injured ankle, gently probing the swollen area.
Beka gave a small cry and tried to jerk her ankle away.
"It's broken," Xena said gravely.
The sounds of approaching Magog grew louder.
"You have to get him," Telemachus motioned to Boa, "To the Command Deck. I'll stay with Beka." He crouched next to her.
Xena gave one last look at Beka and Telemachus, then grabbed Boa's arm. "Move!" she ordered, shoving him forward.
The sounds of the two Nietzscheans running footsteps rapidly faded away, leaving Telemachus with Beka.
A/N: and because of a serious oversight on my part, this is the last Beka/Rhade chapter until chap16. Sorry, y'all! I really don't know how that worked out. :(
