Rodney nearly passed out from the pain as Carson set his broken ankle.
"Their now that wasn't so bad now was it?"Carson said as cheerfully as possible.
Rodney glared at him and said sarcastically."Oh no not that bad."
Carson smiled then winced as he turned to look for another bandage for himself. The cut on his arm was deep and painful and he knew he'd probably need stitches but this would have to do for now. He then went looking for some painkillers and was glad to find some that wouldn't make him or Rodney go to sleep.
"Hear."He said handing Rodney some of the pills and a canteen. Rodney gratefully took the pills and watched as Carson did the same and it made him wonder how badly the physician was hurt.
Carson noticed the doctors worried look and said."Broken ribs."
"Is that all?" Rodney asked looking hard at Beckett.
"Aye that and the cut on my arm."
"Great now what?"Rodney said his eyes scanning their surroundings.
"Why don't we move over there so you can sit up against that stump."Carson said pointing at a rather large stump a few feet away.
Rodney nodded and Carson helped him to his feet.
"Ronan?" Sheppard asked watching as the runner stopped to look at something on the ground.
"It is somewhere nearby." He paused then said"We should..." He stopped abruptly as a loud roar rang out through the forest.
"Oh crap." Sheppard whispered as he saw the creature appear out of nowhere. The same creature that had chased them before.
"Sooo...now what?" Rodney asked sitting up against the large stump.
"I don't know."Carson replied from sitting next to him."I lost my communication device in the fall, you?"
"Mines broken I checked."
Beckett side and once again checked their surroundings as if hopingsomething helpful would appear out of nowhere. Instead he found something more harmful then helpful.
"Um Rodney."
"What is it?"Rodney asked hearing the fear in his friends voice.
Carson pointed to the top of the hill. The creature that had chased them down the hill was now standing at the top of it, teeth bared and gobs of saliva dripping from its mouth.
"RUN!" Sheppard found himself yelling again as the creature charged after them. He turned and reluctantly ran in the other direction others fallowing close behind.
He quickly reloaded his P90 and shot at the raging animal careful not to hit his friends.
The bullets seemed to have no effect on the creature, on the contrary it seemed to make it more angry and pick up the pace lengthening its powerful stride. It was at that moment when Sheppard realized this was not the same one that had chased them before. He didn't know why but he had examined the first one closely and this one looked nothing like it, in fact it looked younger and a little smaller, not that that mattered it was still ginormous.
Suddenly they found themselves back at the gate and though Sheppard hatted to do it he dialed gate, they were going home.
Oh no are our heroes really going to just leave the doctors their... or am I bluffing. Keep reading and find out.
