ch. 4 Taking Over Me

Terras woke up late the next morning. Ronon was still asleep in the chair next to her bed. Carson stood near, reading someone's medical charts. Probably hers.

"Carson!" She whispered so as not to disturb Ronon. Carson heard her call and immediately came over by her side.

"Are you alright love? Is there anything I can get you?"

"I need to tell John, Elizabeth, Rodney, Teyla and you something. Could you bring them here please?"

"Alright." Carson left to call the others.

'Telling them won't change anything my dear. There's no way to remove me. Remember, I'm only in your mind.' Amar whispered in Terras' mind. Her words sent a chill down Terras back.

'We'll see about that.' Terras thought. She heard Amar laugh.

'Your stubborness amuses me so. I can't wait to see your reaction when I kill all your friends and then kill you.'

'You wouldn't survive.'

'Not in your body. But another...'

'You can't do that! It's not possible for you to jump from one body to another.' Amar laughed coldly.

'Oh you stupid stupid girl! You know nothing about what I can and can't do.' Terras was about to retort but Elizabeth came into the infirmary followed by John, Rodney and Teyla. Upon hearing the others, Ronon woke up.

"What's going on?" He asked, confused.

"I need to tell you all something." Carson came over and joined the semi circle everyone had formed around Terras' bed. Ronon still sat in the chair though.

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked.

"When I was in the infirmary earlier. I said I had had a bad dream. It really wasn't a bad dream. I have a second conscious in me."

"I don't mean to be cynical," Rodney said with sarcasm dripping from his every word. "but how is that even possible?" John smacked Rodney's head.

"You should know, McKay. You had Cadman in your brain not so long ago."

"That was different! That was because of the Wraith dart and Zelinka!"

"Rodney shut up and listen!" Elizabeth scolded him. Then she turned to Terras and her eyes softened. "Go on Terras."

"This second conscious is a Wraith. Her name is Amar." Elizabeth smiled.

"Fitting." Five eyes looked at her strangely. "The name. It's fitting." Five eyes still looked at her strangely. "Oh! In Wraith, the name Amar means 'the immortal one'."

"That is fitting." John commented. "Go on."

"Amar can speak to me through my mind. She can also control me. This takes effort and I can resist it, but it's getting harder and harder to stop her. It's only a matter of time before she wins and gets control. She said she'd kill you all and then kill me. Then she said she'd leave my body and take another body. I don't think she can do that, but she says she can. I was hoping she would be destroyed with the tracking device but I was wrong." Silent tears flowed down her cheeks.

"So when you were in the infirmary-" Carson started.

"That was her. She abuses my mind when I sleep."

"And last night?" Ronon asked.

"She was trying to take control of me. She would have succeeded if you hadn't come in. She didn't want to give herself away just yet."

"Excuse us for a minute." Rodney said and then beckoned for everyone to follow him. They walked a couple of yards away and stood in a circle. Ronon stayed with Terras.

"What do you think?" Elizabeth asked everyone.

"I think she's crazy." Rodney said.

"You made yourself very clear back there McKay." John said bitterly.

"I do not believe Terras would make something like this up." Teyla argued.

"I'm not saying she made it up, I'm saying she's delusional." Rodney said.

"I don't think so." Carson said. "If she was delusional, then she would be seeing things. And she said it tried to take control of her. That's not exactly something you could imagine."

"Maybe she should talk to Heightmeyer." John suggested.

"I agree with John." Teyla said.

"Aye. Me too." Carson added.

"So do I. Especially if she's crazy." Rodney said.

"Good. I think she should see her too. Carson, is she okay to leave the infirmary?" Elizabeth asked.

"There's nothing wrong with her physically. So I suppose it wouldn't hurt for her to go to Kate."

"Okay. But John, I want you to escort her there and back to the infirmary." Elizabeth ordered.

"Alright." The five left their circle. John and Teyla went over to Terras while Rodney and Elizabethwalked out of the infirmary and Carson picked up the chart he was reading earlier.

"Terras, are you alright?" Teyla asked and sat down on the bed next to her.

"I'll be fine Teyla. Thanks." Teyla hugged her.

"Terras, Elizabeth wants you to talk to Dr. Heightmeyer. The psychyatrist. John is going to take you there when you're ready."

"Okay. I'll go now if it's alright."

"Okay." Terras was still in her regular clothes so all she had to do was get Carson to remove the drip.

"I'll get Carson." John volunteered. He called Carson over he took the needle out of Terras' arm. She and John left the infirmary.

"Ronon, have you been here all night?" Teyla asked.

"Yeah."

"I assume you didn't get much sleep?"

"No I didn't."

"Well then I suggest you rest." Teyla ushered him to the door. "She is safe right now. I trust John to protect her. There is nothing left to do but sleep now."

"Okay." Teyla nudged him the rest of the way out of the door. When he was gone, Teyla sat in one of the chairs and put her head in her hands. Carson saw this and sat in the chair next to her.

"What's wrong, love?"

"It's just that, I have a hard enough time just hearing the Wraith in my head. Terras has an actual one in there. It makes me feel kind of grateful."

"I know what you mean."

"Terras is a really good friend of mine. I don't want to lose her. And Ronon, I can't imagine what he'll do if he loses her for a second time."

"It'll be okay, Teyla. Rodney will find a way to get that Wraith out of her."

"I know." Carson looked at her. She didn't seem reassured.

"Is there something else that's bothering you?" Teyla didn't answer. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

"No. I'd rather we didn't. Not now at least." Teyla got up. She was almost at the door when Carson called her.

"If you want my advice, you should just tell him." Teyla nodded and left.

At Heightmeyer's office

John and Terras stood outside Kate's office.

"Okay. Terras, I'm gonna leave you here with Kate. She's a really good doctor. Kate's gonna call me when you're done and I'll come pick you up. Is that alright?"

"Yes. I'll be fine."

"Okay." John knocked on the door and Kate opened it almost immediately.

"Terras. I'm Kate.'' She put her arm around Terras' shoulders and led her inside.

"Kate," John said. "Call me when you're done."

"I will. Good bye John." She closed the door and John went off to do nothing.

"Please. Sit." Kate said, pointing to one of the couches. Terras sat down on one and Kate took the other one.

"I'm not really sure what to do." Terras said.

"Just tell me how you're feeling. About your situation." Terras thought for a moment.

"Well I'm afraid. About what Amar will do if she gets control of me."

"How does she get control?"

"Well it's complicated. For the past six years she's gotten stronger. And it seems as she gets stronger, it's harder for me to remain in control. About a year after I became a runner, I heard her voice for the first time. She hadn't been strong enough to even talk to me before then."

"What does it feel like when she tries to take control?"

"First I feel a coldness wash over me. Like someone just dunked me in ice cold water. Then I feel an almost unbearable pain. As if I am being ripped from my body, literally. And then I feel as if my whole body has fallen asleep and I can't move. It starts at my feet and works its way up. Amar has never succeeded in taking control of my body totally. Just partially. And then she released it right away."

"So she can give up control at will?"

"Yes. She sees what I see and hears what I hear. I don't know what I'll do if-" Terras froze. It was happening again. She rolled off the couch and onto the floor, screaming and sobbing.

"Terras! Terras!" Kate kneeled down at her side.

"NO! NO! YOU CAN'T!" She screamed 'no' over and over again for several seconds. Then she suddenly stopped and sat up.

"Terras?" Kate said. Terras turned to look at her. At first her face was blank. Then she got a furious glint in her eyes.

"My name is not Terras. I merely reside in her body. My name is Amar!" Amar growled and pushed Kate away as hard as she could. Fortunately, she was not in a good position and only managed to throw her to the couch. Kate quickly got up and ran to the intercom. But Amar was too fast. She caught Kate before she could make it halfway to the radio.

"Please!" Kate pleaded. Amar put her hands around her neck and snapped it. Kate fell to the floor, dead.

"This is too perfect." Amar said and smiled evilly. Terras did not witness anything for she was unconscience inside her mind.
