Part 3 - Worries and Reasons

Dana Scully was somewhat oblivious to the worries of the Gunman about Mulder. She shared them, she was just was worried about him as they were. A thousand miles away on the West Coast she didn't dare contact him, or anyone, she had a feeling it would only make the current situation worse. Right now They didn't know she had escaped, and Scully wanted to keep it that way. She instead, spent her time focusing on the problem she and her two elven companions Loka and Kye had.

A year ago, They had taken her from Mulder to Loka and Kye's world where they experimented on her. She shuddered at the memories, but was a little thankful that at least this time she knew what they had done to her. There would be no suprises, no guesses this time. All of which had lead to her sitting here in a San Fransisco hotel room she shared with Kye; pondering everything that had happened, and what the future may hold.

Kye entered the room quietly, she had just spoken to Loka in the room next door. He was going down to the beach to surf. He seemed to fit in so well, but ever since their arrival in this strange, new world she had felt as lost as their companion had in theirs. Kye was an sorceress, and now served as a gaurdian to Scully, along with Loka, the warrior. It was their duty they felt that they helped her, at first to escape and find her way home, to the larger problem they now faced.

She was worried though, as was Loka. There were so many things that seemed to have been done to Scully, making her almost superhuman. So many of their world's races' traits went into her body to 'help mankind'. Loka said that that may have been their spoken reasons for doing what they did, but what they really wanted to do was to see how many so called 'improvements' they could make to the human body, and how many it could endure. To see how much pain they could cause one person before they gave up and how far they could advance themselves. Perhaps to save themselves from ever dying, and perhaps from an enemy they knew exsisted the fantasy world and threatened their own. Their reasons were for themselves, Loka said and Scully was a result of their own desperation.

Scully turned towards Kye suddenly, "Where's Loka?"

"At the beach," she replied, sounding a little displeased.

"Let me guess, surfing?"

"Yes."

"Let's go down and watch. I don't know about you but I could use a distraction."

"Let's go I guess."

I just hope Loka's not going to make a fool of himself. She sighed and followed her out.
