"Why were you put in that tank of water?" Asked John as he gave up on trying to find a way out so he walked over to a corner and sat down.
Demetra had already sat down in the opposite corner John was sitting in. "I…I um…" she looked at John then looked away in thought.
"You know, you can trust me, I…"
"Shut up, I'm thinking." Demetra rubbed her temples with her hands, she couldn't remember anything. She looked at John again "I can't remember why I was put in there."
Just then the floor tremor and John and Demetra fell straight through it, they fell through darkness until they hit cold water.
When John reached the surface, all he could see was pitch blackness "Demetra!" he called out to her when.
Something brushed against his leg; he froze looking around madly even when he couldn't see a thing.
"Hey, John you ok?"
John jumped at the sound of Demetra's voice behind him. He spun around in the water to face her.
"Don't do that!"
"Do what?"
John rolled his eyes "Never mind, we need to find a way out of here.
"I found a way out," she grabbed his hand, "follow me. Oh, and we are going under water so hold your breath."
"Wait, how can you see?"
"I do not know, but trust me."
"Yeah trust." mumbled Sheppard to himself. He took a large gulp of air and let Demetra guide him under water, his ear hurt a bit, there was a flash of light and the the next thing he new he was lying flat on his back. John sat up slowly and noticed his clothes were dry and there was a light coming from his right.
The light was coming from down a long corridor; John stood up and leaned against the closest wall as he got a wave of nausea. Once it passed he looked around the room for Demetra but he was alone. He figured she was down the corridor so he headed in that direction.
When he entered the room with the light he saw Demetra half under a table looking through what looked like a box and was pulling out all sorts of things he did not recognize. Some of it was sharp curvy knives.
On top of the table laid two black robes "Demetra?"
Demetra froze for a second and slowly got out from under the table, she looked at John and smiled "Hey, your finally awake," she frowned "Are you feeling ok, you look a bit pale."
"Yeah, I'm fine." The lie came flying out of his mouth. Apart from feeling a bit dizzy he felt fine.
Demetra raised her eyebrows "What ever floats your boat." She grabbed the robes and chucked one to Sheppard "put it on."
She put her own one on after John put his on.
John wondered how Demetra acted like she was from earth; he would have to worry about that later first they have to find a way out.
Ever since Demetra saw the flash of light she had been having flashes of her past and there was just one memory that scared her: she remembered walking through these corridors and entered a large room with a very big cage. She opened it and a horrifying creature came out and ran through Atlantis and slaughtered almost everyone. The terrible fact was that you need the one who created the creature to destroy it.
Demetra shuddered at the thought of it watching them.
"Are you ok Demetra?" John sounded worried.
She looked at him "Yeah lets go and find a way out of this death hole." When John looked away she grabbed a hand full of knives and pocketed them. Demetra headed in direction John was looking, she made sure John was close to her. She couldn't risk anything happen to him.
