Author's Note: So sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've started school so who knows when my updates will be, but I will update when I get the chance.
This chapter starts some telepathic communication between Mulder and Scully; the code is as follows: italics Scully, -italics- Mulder. Now on with the show:
Scully sat heavily on the bench, but it wasn't just any bench, it was their bench.
Why did I come here? I am trying to forget him.
Because you don't want to, a voice nagged at the back of her head.
Shut-up.
Scully tried to keep her tears in check, looking down she turned her right wrist. The tattoo that was there was some sort of an id in the ancient language the Greys spoke.
-Scully-
I'm going to kill Ana, she directed the thought to herself.
-I can hear that you know.-
Go away Mulder, I'm not in the mood.
-I just want to talk, face to face.-
You seem to have no trouble this way.
-Suit yourself... Ana, your friend stopped by. She knocked some sense into me, about why I was so upset. Not about the truth about Samantha, but about you.-
Why me, Scully couldn't hide her interest.
-Because you didn't tell me - you were so hurt by the people you loved when you told, and didn't want to go through that again. Just like I did. -There was a note of shame in his voice.
Now he notices.
"I just wanted to apologise." Scully just stared at the water for a few moments, "Please forgive me."
I can never stay mad at you, she shook her head. "How do you do it? No matter how pissed I get at you I can never stay mad."
"It's one of my charms."
Scully stood and walked over to Mulder and pushed him, "So I was wondering Scully, when did you become a ... hybrid, for lack of a better word."
"When I was six..." Scully broke off turning around suddenly.
"What is it?"
"Mulder hide in the bushes and don't move." Mulder looked like he wanted to argue, "Samantha's near and I'm not about to let her tear you limb for limb,"
Mulder climbed reluctantly into the bushes, and Scullywhispered after him, "And don't for any reason use the stone Mulder, she'll know."
Mulder could hear the fear in Scully's voice, ashard as she tried to hide it.
