Chapter 12

John slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He sat up and stretched before going back over to the seat next to Teyla and sitting in it again.

"How is she?" Lucy asked as she came over and climbed up to sit on him.

"I don't know," John replied quietly.

"Keayna said you sit here long enough, so you should know."

"She hasn't woken up yet," John stated.

"Carson said to get you to eat something."

"I'll eat later."

"You said that yesterday."

The two of them were distracted by a small moan from Teyla's bed. Lucy got down and John immediately stood up and took Teyla's hand.

"Teyla?" he called quietly, "Teyla?"

"Where…" she whispered hoarsely as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Shh, don't speak," John told her.

Lucy quickly ran off to Carson's office and came back with Keayna a few moments later.

"Teyla?" Keayna asked as she came round the other side.

Teyla slowly turned her head to look at her.

"What's the last thing you remember?"

"Going into… Ava's room… where's Ava?"

"She's missing. As are Andrew, Rodney and Elizabeth."

There was a bright light in the room and a Wraith appeared behind John. It grabbed him and they both disappeared before anyone could react.

"So, at least we known how they were taken," Keayna muttered.

John was thrown into the same cell as the others. He slowly picked himself up and looked around as the Wraith left. Andrew was sitting in between Elizabeth and Rodney.

"You okay?" he asked them.

"We're fine, the girls are the ones to worry about," Elizabeth replied indicating the girls behind him.

John looked over to see the to them lying down; their bottom halves were transparent.

"We think Teyla's going to make it," Elizabeth replied to his confused expression.

"Teyla is their mother. Andrew told us she was hit with a green pulse and then we noticed that Ava was beginning to fade. Since they were completely transparent a while ago and are now not," Rodney explained, "we think she's going to make it."

"She woke up just before I was taken," John paused, "Teyla's their mother?"

"And I'm his father," Rodney added, indicating Andrew.

"Dad?" Ava muttered.

John turned around and scooted over to kneel next to Ava.

"I'm here," he took her hand.

"Is mum… okay?"

"She just woke up."

Ava smiled slightly.

"That good?" John asked as he slowly sat her up, leaning her against a wall.

"Yeah, it's good."

"What happened to Maigan?" John asked as he carefully sat Maigan up to lean against Ava.

"She was tortured," Ava slowly opened her eyes and looked at her sister.

"Who by?" John sat on the other side of Maigan before slowly shifting her to lean against him.

"Someone who they only refer to as 'she'," Rodney replied, "we've tried getting them to say more but they won't."

"And another thing we've learnt is that Maigan deliberately came back to change something," Elizabeth stated, "and the others had to follow after the Wraith found Atlantis."

"So how have they found it now?"

"She came back too," Ava explained quietly.

"She?"

"Your daughter means me," the redhead stated as she came over to the cell followed by two other Wraith.

"I thought I'd killed you," John shifted Maigan to lean against Ava before standing up and going over to the door.

"I am one of the Eldar," she stated, "you older daughter has quite a lot of strength for a human. She's lasted longer than any others would have."

"What do you want?"

"For you all to watch your children die slowly before we kill you."

"Sorry to cause you a wasted trip but that's not going to happen."

"Isn't it?" she asked before the three of them left.

"John…" Elizabeth trailed off.

He turned to her and then at the girls, they were beginning to become more transparent again.

Over the next half-hour the others were slowly brought to the same cell. Lucy and Alex were sitting either side of Aiden, James had Ava leaning against him, Carson was sitting with Helen, Maigan was leaning against John, Andrew had moved to be sitting on Rodney whilst Elizabeth lent against him and Keayna sat next to Teyla, keeping an eye on the Athosian.

"What are they going to do?" Lucy looked up at Aiden.

"I don't know," he replied.

"While we got the time, anyone wanna fill us in on the Eldar?" John looked around.

"They're the Wraith that remember the beginning," Maigan explained quietly, "they are… very hard to kill and love eating… slowly."

"Maigan?" Ava looked over.

"What?"

"Just checking you're still with us."

"You're one to talk," Maigan whispered as she looked over at Keayna, "how's mum?"

"I'd rather we were back in the city," Keayna looked over.

"So would I," John muttered, "get everyone fixed."

"Talking of everyone," James looked up, "do you think they'll…"

"Possibly," Helen replied.

"I think they will," Andrew looked over.

Two Wraith came in and grabbed Keayna before talking her out quickly before anyone could react.

They took her to a small room where the redhead was standing with someone thrown at her feet. The woman was dressed similarly to the Athosians but the style of clothes had a slight difference to them. The Wraith let go of Keayna and she rushed over to the woman, rolling onto her back.

"Mother?" she whispered.

"Who…" the woman looked up.

"Shh, just be quiet," Keayna told her as the two of them were dragged out of the room again and back to the cell.

The two of them were thrown back in and Carson moved Helen to sit with Elizabeth before going over to help. The two of them moved the woman over to be near Teyla so that Keayna could sit in between her two patients.

"Is mummy okay?" Helen quickly walked over and looked at Keayna.

"I don't know what they've don to her," Keayna pulled her sister closer, "it looks okay so far."

"Why?"

"We're not gone yet."

"The twins are getting better," James added.

Keayna nodded before looking at the two girls and then at Carson.

"Yes," she smiled, "this is mum."

"Know I understand why your parents met in a Wraith cell," Maigan muttered, "we put them there."

"Almost a complete set," the redhead walked over and looked in, "just one missing."

So, is this to you're liking? James, Alex and Lucy's mum will appear in the next chapter and there will be interaction between Carson and…. Actually I need a name for her so suggestions are welcome.

Until next time.
