Chapter 2 – Fantasy and Reality
Dana Scully sat at home in complete silence, trying to think. She tried to think of everything that had happened to her since starting her journey on the x-files seven long years ago. I had been interesting, definitely challenging, and, although sometimes she wouldn't admit it for the world, she still just craved a normal life with a house with a white picket fence and a beautiful garden. A loving husband and children who would blow her kisses every time she left. Things she knew she would never have.
But fantasy could often drown out all feelings of reality that she had, leaving her happiness, even if only for a short amount of time. So she drifted off to a land where all she could want, she had. But as hard as she tried the fantasy would always leave a taste of emptiness and would only lead her back to the life she had. Her fantasies were always so bland and boring, causing her to believe that she needed the x-files and Mulder to be happy. Life would not be worth living without them. Without him.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a phone ring, which she chose not to answer. She slowly raised herself from the couch and dragged herself to bed. Sleep was always a pleasant relief from her constant thoughts of hope.
A/N: I know, I know. It's even shorter. But think back to what I said...it'll get better.
