Szhismine: Glad you like it!
soin2jesse: More is here, and no I think that you're thinking of Oma. This Ancient is different.
Rayne: Yes John is in limbo. Teyla might wake soon, I'm not to sure on who's going to wake first just yet.
PurpleYin: I've got something planned for them so they won't wake up first. And as for the last bit it was Dr. Steph Ferris who said the thing about John and she's based on my friend to have a very big imagination.
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a long time but I've been working on the other chapters to make them better.
Chapter 15
Bates and the Athosian who had come over from the mainland were in the infirmary, standing on either side of Almie.
"Do you recognise her?" Bates broke the silence.
"Her name is Almie," the Athosian looked up at him.
"So she's one of the Athosians then," Bates stated, looking down at her for a moment.
"No," the Athosian shook his head, "she is the daughter of Musetta of the Allari. We have traded with them many times, and they are good friends of ours. Tell me, how did she come to be here? It is impossible for gate travel for them in their winter months."
"She was given back at the same time as the others," Bates gestured to everyone else, "we thought she might be an Athosian because of the style of her clothes. That's why you were asked to come over."
The Athosian looked up and at the rest of the people lying on beds in the infirmary. He stopped when he saw one person. He looked at Bates for a moment, then looked back at the person who had caught his attention.
"Teyla?" he whispered as he went over to stand next to her, with Bates quickly following him.
"Teyla?" John looked at the figure who had appeared before him.
"Major?" Teyla asked as she turned around, looking at the 'room' she was now in.
"Why are you here?"
"I do not know. Where is here?"
"Erm… pass. There's nothing much to do other than try to catch the mist."
"But you cannot catch the mist," Teyla's confusion was showing.
"That's the challenge. Also you could try to figure out what that Ancient meant," John thought for a moment, "she never told me her name."
"How did you come to be here?" a third voice spoke up.
The two of them turned to see the same Ancient standing there, her arms folded and looking slightly angry.
"Before you ask my name is Cala. Now, how did you get here?"
"I do not know," Teyla answered after a moment, "I just appeared."
"You must have brought her," Cala turned to John.
"How? I just wanna go back."
"Is there no way to send us back?" Teyla spoke calmly.
"I will ask. We worked as a collective to bring you here," Cala told John before he could ask.
"Thank you," Teyla bowed her head slightly.
"So," John sighed once the Ancient had gone, "what you wanna do?"
"Where am I?" Almie looked around to find herself in a large room similar to the one John and Teyla were currently in.
"That's what I want to know," Carson stated as he looked around as well.
"You can blame Major Sheppard," Cala said as she appeared, "he is somehow causing you all to go into your own limbo's."
"Limbo?" Carson repeated, shocked.
"What is 'limbo'?" Almie looked confused.
"It's the place between the living and the dead," Carson explained.
"How is he doing this?" Almie asked.
"We don't know."
"What's your name?" Carson inquired.
"My name is Cala. I am one of the Ancients who remained in the Pegasus Galaxy."
"Why are we here?" Almie gestured to the 'room'.
"We brought Major Sheppard to his limbo so that we could warn him of certain events. Then Teyla appeared and now you are in your own limbo. We have no control over this and no idea of how this came to be."
"This," Aiden looked around, "its freaky."
"I seems you will all go into limbo," Cala sighed before fading away.
"So… where are we?" Aiden asked, clearly confused.
"Liz? Liz?"
Liz's eyes fluttered open and came into focus to see Rodney kneeling over her. He carefully helped her sit and she looked around.
"Where are we?" she asked quietly.
"I don't know. You feel okay?"
"I've been better."
"Well I don't think that we're dead, which is a good thing."
"Is anyone else here?"
"Not that I can see, but it's a big place so…" Rodney told her as he sat down next to her.
"I'm gonna sleep," she told him quietly, closing her eyes and leaning her head against him.
"I don't think you should," Rodney looked down to see she already was sleeping, "or you could just do so anyway."
"Is she sleeping?"
Rodney looked up to see Cala standing in front of the two of them and nodded.
"I'm not sure how long you will have to stay in your limbo but I will do all I can to get you out soon."
"How's Andrew?"
"He's okay for now," Cala smiled.
Rodney nodded slightly and looked back down at Elizabeth for a moment. When he looked up again Cala had gone.
"So, been able to figure anything out yet?" John asked Cala once she'd appeared.
"Yes. You are the most annoying person I've ever had to deal with. Maigan comes a close second though."
"I believe the Major means about letting us leave this place," Teyla stated, smiling slightly.
"Still have nothing on that. The others are about as annoyed as you are."
"Others?" John questioned.
"Carson and Almie are in limbo with Aiden there as well, and Rodney and Elizabeth are in limbo. The children are all slowly disappearing for good which means that unless this problem is sorted soon, they'll never exist."
"How do you know about Maigan?"
"I've met your children, we exist outside time and space and are present everywhere. I will tell you this. You have to live. Maigan destroyed the ship you were both killed on."
Before either of them could say anything Cala disappeared again.
"That is what she came to change," John muttered to himself.
"Who?"
"Maigan, she came back deliberately to change something so that the future would turn out differently. By destroying the ship we're meant to die on she's altered the future. All we need to do is live so that she'll possibly be born," his voice trailed off.
"Perhaps she and Ava will be," Teyla smiled slightly.
"Is there anything we can do for them?" Bates asked Steph as she took down some notes.
"At the moment, I have absolutely no idea," she sighed, "I'm not sure that any of them are going to make it."
"What do you mean?" he asked immediately.
"It's the children," she explained, "rather than just being transparent… they're disappearing completely. If this carries on they'll never exist."
Bates looked over at the children and then back at their parents. "Are you sure there is nothing that can be done?"
"I don't know, I've never had to deal with anything like this before."
After a few moments of silence there was a loud cry from behind them. They both look over to see one of the children crying out.
