Chapter 5

Elizabeth blanked out John's voice and stared at the man before her. Gazing back it appeared as if he was examining her face, she could feel his piercing stare roam all over her. Despite feeling uneasy around him Elizabeth noticed his expression was that of someone unable to believe his eyes.

As he continued to look Elizabeth became more agitated and took a few steps back but 'John' took a few forward keeping the same distance between them. Again John's voice called to her through the radio,

"Elizabeth? Are you okay? Talk to me!"

She knew he was worried but she couldn't find her voice.

"That's it I'm coming down there." He stated and Elizabeth knew there'd be no stopping him now.

Clearing her throat she stuttered, "Who…who are you?"

He remained silent, holding her curious gaze. Breaking it Elizabeth looked around her and then back at him with a more determined face.

"Look, the real John Sheppard is on his way here and believe me he's

more pissed at you than me so-"

"I don't want to hurt you." The man before her stated calmly but all Elizabeth could think about was making a run for the transporter. Before she had believed he was the real one but now, knowing he wasn't, he terrified her.

"And I believe you" She said hoping her voice and eyes didn't betray the claim. "But you have to realize that this is very confusing for me-"

Suddenly 'John' looked panicky and shouted, "I have to, she has to know! Just a little longer!"

His eyes were looking to his side as if someone was next to him. Glancing past him Elizabeth saw her chance and bolted past him.

Taken by surprise 'John' stumbled as she flew by him and made a run after her.

"Elizabeth wait!" He shouted gaining on her position.

Pushing her legs Elizabeth felt him draw nearer and desperately longed to see the real Sheppard appear and help her. Ancient windows, doors and designs went rushing past them but Elizabeth's focus was completely on the transporter. Then she felt a hand grasp her own and was forced round to face her chaser. Pulling against him Elizabeth shouted, "Let me go! Help! Someone, help me!"

"I…I don't want to hurt you…please stop!" Her captor pleaded but saw it was no use. After a few seconds of struggling with her he shouted, "I'm here to warn you!"

Upon hearing this Elizabeth stopped fighting and stared at him. "What?"

Taking a deep breath he repeated, "I'm here to warn you Elizabeth."

Panting she took a step backwards, only half aware he was still holding her arms. "Warn me? Who are you?"

"It's me, John." The man announced his eyes boring into hers. As she began to scoff he rushed, "No, really, I am! Before we went to P4X222, that fog planet, we spoke about how we wanted to stay in Atlantis. And even with the Wraith you still didn't want to leave. I gave you an Athosian jar for your first birthday here. And…uh oh! And after I returned from an attempted suicide against the Wraith armada you hugged me-"

"How…how did you know-" Elizabeth gasped becoming even more confused. Her mind was running through what he had just told her and thinking of ways this man could be lying.

"Because I know you." 'John' insisted releasing his hold so it was nothing more than a gentle touch knowing he now had her attention.

Shaking her head Elizabeth wondered how this was possible. "I don't understand."

Dropping his arms John stood back seeing she was no longer trying to get away. "I'm from the future Elizabeth. And I've come to warn you."

A/N: Very short, I know but thought about giving you another cliffhanger 'EVIL LAUGH' Okay I got writer's block but sssh, don't tell anyone!
