Chapter 13

A/N:

Hawk's Nest, West Virginia is a real place, but when I was there I was just passing through so I'm not sure the description is accurate sorry. I apologize also for not putting spoilers in the first chapter, I'm kinda new at this and didn't think of it so I'll put them here. The spoilers are: Emily, Ascension, One Breath, Emily, and Christmas Carol. This story takes place during the 7th season. Again sorry.

They quickened their pace, trying to hurry and get to Mulder and Ana before Samantha did something to them. "Why are we walking for Christ's sake? Teleporting is faster." Growled Dana.

"If we do then the Syndicate can track us. Reika and I noticed one of their search drones overhead after we reappeared." said Eva.

"While we pass the time, I have a question for you D. Do you love Mulder.?" asked Reika from behind them.

"We're friends, nothing more."

"I see the look in your eyes every time we talk about him."

Dana's face turned as red as her hair.

"Yeah she does." chimed Sapphire.

"Fine, fine. I do, but it's wasted because he goes for women who look like Eva and Reika, not me. Besides even if he did, it's wasted because the Bureau and the Syndicate wouldn't allow it. We'd be separated in an instant and God knows what would happen to either Mulder or I." With that she scooped Emily up in her arms, and stormed off ahead of them.


Near Hawks Nest, West Virginia

Samantha walked slowly towards the car. Ana was trying to drive away but Samantha had taken over the controls of the car.

"Drive away!" yelled Mulder.

"I can't, she's interfering with the car!"

"How did she find us anyway?"

"How should I know! I have no idea what she or Dana can do!"

Samantha choose that moment to leap on the hood of their car, and slammed her fist in the center causing a huge hole in the engine.


Hawk's Nest, West Virginia

The group of women walked into the gas station parking lot, promptly heading to two parking spaces that held four motorcycles. "Welcome to Hawk's Nest, West Virginia." said Reika, leading them to the small town's only gas station. Four motorcycles were parked in two parking spaces towards the back of the gas station parking lot. "They look like new." said Sapphire in awe.

"As new as you can get for these old things." joked Dana looking at her own dubbed 'Red Devil'.

"What in the world?" they heard someone yell behind them. They all turned around to see a car limping into the gas station, smoke pouring from a huge hole in it's engine. It had the entire gas station's attention, or at least the most of them. Emily's attention was still focused on her mom's motorcycle.

"Why does this have Samantha's name all over it?" asked Eva darkly.

"Because she's heartless." said Leki.

"She's a mindless minion." added Reika.

The front doors of the car opened, Mulder and Ana got out to survey the damage. "Mulder!" called Scully. He looked up in shock. "Scully!" Scully launched herself into a run, and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

"And she says there's nothing there." murmured Reika to her friends.

"What happened to the car?" asked Sapphire looking at the crowd that stayed a safe distance away.

"Samantha." said Mulder, pulling slightly away from Scully, but he kept his arm around her. "The funny thing is she didn't do anything else."

"How did you get here?" asked Leki, gesturing towards the car. "It doesn't look safe."

"Very slowly." said Ana wiping her brow with her forearm. "It's fine except if it's running."

There was a quiet sigh of relief among the crowd, and they began to return to their normal activities. Since they weren't the center of attention Emily walked over. Scully happily picked her up. "Mommy!"

"Uhh ... Scully, who's this?" Mulder was puzzled, hadn't this little girl died two years ago?

"This is Emily; Mulder."

"Didn't..."

"That was a clone Mulder."


Syndicate Compound

Samantha strode angrily down the corridor, she had been about to kill her brother when she got the order to withdraw. CSM saw her coming and tried to run. "I don't think so." She smirked, lifting him up off the ground with her hand around his throat.

"Samantha-" Her hand around his throat tightened, making it harder to breath. "We had to call you back. Skinner was putting pressure on us, he was going to expose us if you didn't back off." Her grip tightened even more.

"I don't care, she needs to pay."

CSM was getting desperate, as much as he wanted to see the X-files end and the Project succeed, he valued his life more. "Samantha. This doesn't mean you won't get your chance. As soon as Skinner backs off, I promise you."

She thought over this for a few moments and dropped him to the ground. "Fine, I'll back off. But the second, the second, he backs off. I'm there." CSM tried to hide his relieved look, but Samantha noticed. "This time I think I'll kill her. The clone of my her and my brother's kid didn't do the trick when I created it to be destroyed in order to destroy her. She didn't do what I expected, either leave the X-files, or do us all a favor and kill herself. No. She kept working."

Turning on her heel she stalked off. CSM watched her go knowing full well she would keep her word. The hatred for some reason ran deep between these two "children". The Syndicate had played a dangerous game when they made someone as strong as Samantha, luckily she was loyal to them. Then there was Dana, who was stronger and not loyal, she had never been meant to be stronger, but there were sloppy mistakes that they couldn't fix. When these two met in battle it would be fierce, and CSM had a feeling Dana would be the victor. The question remained though, was the world ready to see this meeting take place?
