Chapter 10"Where's Ava?" Teyla asked as she walked towards John.
"In there," John replied as he quietly closed the door.
"How is she?"
"Upset, worried, erm… did I say upset?"
"You did," Teyla smiled slightly, "Keayna is considering telling what happens so that Maigan will become different to what she it now."
"That depends on what else would change as well. It may still happen just might be earlier or later," John said as he put his hands in his pockets, "then again it may change the thing so much that she'll never get born. Anyway, Ava wants to talk to you."
"Me?" Teyla repeated, slightly shocked.
"Apparently you help look after her when Maigan gets ill," John shrugged as he opened the door, "don't ask me."
They both look in to see a Wraith standing holding an unconscious Ava and another next to it. The Wraith holding Ava disappeared and the second one shot at Teyla with a green energy pulse before disappearing. John quickly turned to Teyla and caught her before she hit the floor. He carefully picked her up before starting to the infirmary.
He arrived a few minutes later and placed her on one of the spare beds. Keayna ran over to stand next to the bed.
"What happened?"
"Wraith were in Ava's room. One got her and the other shot Teyla," John explained not looking up.
"What colour was the pulse?"
"What?"
"What - colour - was - the - pulse?" Keayna repeated slowly.
"Green… why?" he looked up at her.
"Helen! Larien's herb garden, green pulse, now!" Keayna ordered.
Helen quickly got up and ran out of the infirmary.
"What does the green pulse mean?" John asked as Keayna started linking Teyla up to monitors.
"I haven't got time," she replied absently as she carried on.
John moved out of Keayna's way as she came round to be on the same side as him. After a moment he went over to the other children.
"Will someone please tell me what it means?" he looked at each of them.
"Blue paralyses," Lucy began.
"Red knocks out," Alex continued.
"And green kills," James whispered.
"She's… she's going to die?" John asked slowly.
"Unless Keayna works quick enough," James sighed.
"What are you not telling me?" John looked at Andrew.
Andrew looked over at James.
"We can't tell you," James told him quietly.
Helen ran back in and over to Keayna holding a small pouch. Keayna took the pouch and took out the small berries from inside. She turned to the side and quickly crushed them. Helen passed her a syringe and she took up the berry juice before turning to the drip she'd attached and inserting the juice into it.
"Now what?" John came back over.
"Now. We wait."
"What's going on?" Carson asked as he ran into the infirmary, "I saw Helen running back here."
"Teyla's dying," John stated quietly.
"I've dealt with it," Keayna pulled a blanket over Teyla, "all we can do now is wait."
Ava was thrown into the same cell as Maigan. She stood up and looked around. Seeing her sister and ran over and knelt next to her.
"Maigan, Maigan?" Ava asked as she put a hand on her sister's shoulder.
"Ava?" Maigan whispered as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at her.
"I'm here," Ava moved the hair off of Maigan's face, "I'm here."
"It hurts," Maigan whispered.
"Shh, just rest now. Rest. It'll be alright."
"She's here…" Maigan started coughing again, "she's here…"
"Who is?"
Maigan went to answer when the cell opened and two Wraith came in and dragged her out.
They took her to the same room as before and chucked her back on the ground in front of the red-head.
"We have your sister now," the red-head stated as she crouched down, "tell us what we want to know and she won't be harmed… much."
"Go… to hell," Maigan muttered.
"Have it your way then," the red-head stood up and motioned to the guards to take her away again.
The two of them grabbed and arm each and slowly started dragging Maigan back to the cell.
Rodney looked up to see Andrew run in. He went over and Rodney turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Teyla got…" Andrew stopped mid sentence and stared behind Rodney.
Rodney slowly turned to see three Wraith standing there "Well this is bad."
One came and grabbed Andrew while the other two grabbed Rodney before they all disappeared from the room.
At the sound of cries Elizabeth walked out of her office and into the control room. All the people were lying on the ground unconscious. She heard a groan and went and knelt next to Peter.
"What happened?" she asked him.
He weakly tried to point behind her. Elizabeth slowly turned to see a Wraith standing behind her. It grabbed her arm before the two of them disappeared from the control room.
After a few minutes several Wraith came back to the cell with Elizabeth, Rodney and Andrew and put them in before leaving.
"You guys okay?" Ava asked them.
"For now," Elizabeth replied as she sat down next to Ava.
"Whose blood is that?" Rodney asked as he moved to sit on the other side of Elizabeth.
"Maigan's," Ava whispered, "they took her away before you came."
Andrew walked over and sat in between Rodney and Elizabeth.
"How bad is it?" Andrew looked up at Ava.
"Very," Ava replied quietly.
"Teyla was shot," Andrew said quietly, "green one."
"Where is she?" Ava asked immediately.
"Keayna's working on it.
"What exactly does this green pulse mean?" Elizabeth looked between the two children.
"If the antidote isn't given in time," Ava paused, "the person shot will die."
"So why is everyone so worried about Teyla being shot?" Rodney looked over at Ava.
"She's Auntie Teyla."
"Are… are you disappearing?" Rodney stared at her arm.
Ava's entire right arm had become transparent.
"That is not good," she stated as she looked at her arm.
"She's you're mother," Rodney said slowly, "it's the only explanation."
"Yeah," Ava sighed and sat back against the wall, "she's mum."
"So why is she fading?" Elizabeth looked slightly confused.
"Because if Teyla dies before Maigan and Ava are born… they won't ever exist."
"So the more Ava and Maigan fade, the closer Teyla is to dying?" Elizabeth looked at Rodney.
He just nodded. The door opened and Maigan was chucked in before the Wraith left again. Ava carefully moved her sister back over to where she'd been sitting before sitting on the other side of her and leaning Maigan back against her.
"Ava?" Maigan whispered hoarsely.
"Shh, just sleep."
"What's… happening?"
"It's mum," Ava whispered, "she was shot by a green pulse."
"Who…"
"Lizzie, Rodney and Andrew," Ava told her, "now rest."
"She…"
"Maigan, don't talk now. You need to save you're strength," Ava wiped away a tear from her cheek, "please."
A few moments later the doors opened again and four Wraith came in and dragged Rodney and Elizabeth out, taking them in different directions.
"Mummy! Daddy!" Andrew yelled.
Does Teyla survive?
Did Elizabeth and Rodney hear what Andrew yelled?
And does is make Andrew disappear?
And does John find out what they're not telling him?
What will his reaction be if he does find out?
Find out in the next chapter.
Okay this is where you decide something important. Should Teyla die? Your votes will decide her fate. NO VOTES MEANS SHE DIES!
