The X-Files

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I OWN nothing & CLAIM nothing!

"Maybe I was right when I said I was bad luck to everyone I care about." Mulder said, he made an attempt for the comment to be light, but there was sadness in his voice that he didn't manage to completely hide. "Mulder, that's not true. They help you because they believe in what you're doing & what you stand for… as do I; even though I'm not always that good at showing it." She said, Monty's voice could suddenly be heard, yelling at them to hurry. "Come on, Mulder." Scully said as she hauled him up, draping his arm over her shoulder. They made it down the latter & hurried down the path as quickly as they could with only three legs between the two of them. A terrifying scream could be heard somewhere in the distance, no way to tell if it was animal or human, but it made them move faster all the same. It seemed to take forever for the cabin to come into view. They were almost to the door when the werewolf burst through the woods about fifty feet behind them. "Oh, god!" Scully said, near panic & struggling under Mulder's weight as she fiddled with the doorknob, she could hear the werewolves' growls becoming louder as it closed in on them. Out of desperation, Scully fired a round from her Smith & Wesson blindly behind her, she could hear the werewolf yelp with pain, this gave her enough time to wrench the door open & hurriedly lock it behind her. After making sure that Mulder was resting comfortably on the couch in the back of the office, she frantically went to Monty's desk for the silver bullets & pulled another twelve gage off the wall behind her. She loaded it & faced the door, trying with all her might to steady her trembling hands as the werewolf threw itself against the door, which splintered into pieces against its great weight. "All right, you son of a bitch." Scully said as she put herself between Mulder & the beast, at this range, she'd only get two shots with no chance to reload the aged shotgun. Mulder drifted into conciousness just in time to see Scully raise the bulky shotgun & fire, not phased in the slightest by the gun's kickback. The werewolf let out a horrible screeching sound as the bullet pierced its skull, Scully didn't wait to find out if one was enough & she fired again, hitting the monster twice in the head, thus killing it.

Scully walked into Mulder's hospital room at DC general a week later. "So, I gave our report to AD Kersh." Scully said as she sat on the side of his bed. "I would've loved to have been there to see his reaction, especially sense we have concrete proof on this one… the monster's body." Scully chuckled. "He demanded to be taken down to see it; you should have seen his face, Mulder. When I pulled the sheet off, I thought he was going to faint on the spot." Mulder chuckled in length at this. "We may make a believer out of him yet." He said with a cheeky grin. "Doctor says he'll let me go in a week if I can find someone to stay with me for a couple of weeks to make sure I stay off my feet... I guess he doesn't trust me." Mulder said. "Okay, but I get to pick the movie, this time." Scully said.

"Scully...! Godzilla? You!" Mulder said in shock as she popped in 'Godzilla vs Zero'. "I never said I wasn't into science fiction, but unlike you,I don't apply it to real life." She said matter of factly as Mulder put his arm around her shoulders. "What's on our plate after this?" He said into her ear. "The Exorsist." Scully replied, not able to hide a small smile.
