"RUN!" Colonel John Sheppard cried firing his P90 at the large carnivores creature, that raced after them, bearing its teeth claws at the ready."NO SHIT!" Mckay cried running after them Beckett close behind. Teyla Ronon and the Colonel running in front of them"Come on Beckett Mckay move your ass's!"Sheppard cried see the two doctors starting to slow up. The two men didn't need another warning as they heard the creature release a tremendous roar. They picked up their pace, but it wasn't enough. Carson gasped as something large clawed and furry slammed into his right side. He collided with Rodney as sering pain ran up his side, they both tumbled off to the side. Realizing it had hit its mark the creature skidded to a stop, ceasing its pursue of the other two lagged pray.
Carson immediately got to his feet realizing the danger both he and Rodney were in."Come on!"He cried grabbing hold of Mckays arm and pooling him up with a jerk."Ow!"Mckay cried as he felt himself being poled harshly along."Let go!" He said grabbing Becketts arm and poling it off."Rod..."Carson started his angry expression turning pale as they both heard a menacing growl behind them."Run"Carson whispered and both men ran forward.

John kept running, unaware of the doctors disappearance. Finally Teyla turned her head and saw them missing."John doctors Mckay and Beckett are missing and so is are pursuer." Everyone stopped running, Sheppard looked back wondering if the doctors had just feel behind and needed to cache up. They were no where in site."How the hell could you have lost them Ronon I though I told you to bring up the rear!"Sheppard yelled at the Runner anger showing in his features."It was all our faults...we.."Teyla stopped head bowed in shame. Sheppard cursed himself for what had just happened. How could he have let this happen, he was supposed to watch them make sure they didn't get hurt, and he let them bring up the rear right in front of open jaws...right now John felt the wait of his friends lives on his shoulders...How could I have let this happen.

Mckay ran frantically through the forest turning every now and then to make sure Carson was still fallowing and also finding the carnivore still after them. Rodney also noted how awkwardly the doc was running, cradling his right side and slowing with each step. Suddenly his foot caught on a large root that was sticking out of the ground. Pain shot up his lag as he fell forward. Beckett, unable to stop in time, ran into Mckay and both men fell forward.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did any one see what happened to them?" Sheppard asked the two remainders of his team they shook their heads."Damn."He whispered."Come on."He said determinedly. "Were gonna find them."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carson was surprised to find himself rolling down a hill instead of laying on top of Mckay and cursing him for his clumsiness, obviously broken ribs sired with pain with each jolt and bump. Finally the world stopped spinning as he landed at the base of the large steep hill. His right side was raging with pain and he suddenly found himself unable to breathe he tried desperately to take a breath and just as he darkness started to set in did his body let him take a breath, precious air filled his lunges with every painful breath he took. Finally he was breathing more smoothly the pain was down to a throb and he took the moment to site up and look around. It hurt like hell but he finally maneged to look around. He found himself facing the large hill he and Rodney had evidently fallen down from. Oh bloody hell, Rodney ,were was he."Rodney!"He called looking around, he found his friend a little ways away, laying on his back seemingly lifeless. He got up with the help of a large bolder. Pain went up his left arm as he pushed himself up. He looked over and found it covered in blood, a large cut practically running the length of his arm. He ignored it though, his mind set on getting to his injured friend.
