Ok, here's another. It's a little shorter than the last two chapters and not as action packed but you John/Elizabeth shippers are going to really like the second part.

Sorry if the first part seems monotonous but I had to add it in.


Chapter 4

"My God, son, sit down." Carson pleaded as Rodney resumed pacing loudly around the conference room. He had been ranting, wondering how this could have happened but had stopped when he realized that it didn't matter and, more importantly, no one was listening. But without any other course of action to take, he returned to pacing.

Ford, Teyla, Zelenka and Bates were also in the conference room but had been silent for quite some time trying to come up with different ideas of how to rescue Dr. Weir and Major Sheppard. Dr. Beckett had a look of annoyance since his eyes had been following Rodney for the last ten minutes.

"No, Carson I can't." Rodney yelled in frustration. This outburst served to wake most of the others at the table who had been deep in thought.

"Annoyin' us isna' gonna do anything." Carson reminded lightheartedly but the light atmosphere he created was soon engulfed by the previous gloomy mood.

"Well Carson, if you have any better ideas speak up!" Rodney screamed.

"Rodney, perhaps we could return to planet where they were captured." Dr. Zelenka stated looking up from his laptop and pushing his glasses up his nose. "Perhaps they…"

"Why would you even suggest that!" Rodney cried flailing his arms. "They've got Sheppard and Elizabeth. They've moved and they don't want to be found!"

"Rodney! I was merely suggesting we look for clues on the planet." Zelenka retorted sternly.

"Yes, well…perhaps." Rodney stammered. "But don't get your hopes up."

"Dr. McKay's right." Ford added. "Kolya's too smart to leave anything behind that he doesn't want us to find."

"So what are we supposed to do?" Telya asked.

"We wait." Bates said as he turned to Teyla. "There's nothing we can do except keep an eye out for clues. Unfortunately we don't have the man power to go on millions of wild goose chases."


"So Major, how are you feeling today?" Kolya asked strolling into John's holding cell.

"Aw, been better Kolyie." Sheppard replied sarcastically from where he sat on the floor in the corner. He slowly stood up but winced when he put too much weight on his injured arm.

"I wouldn't be giving attitude right now Sheppard, especially since you don't know where Elizabeth is."

Before Sheppard could answer Elizabeth came slowly up from behind Kolya. She held her head high but John knew she was a little worse for wear. She had small scratches all over her face, her lip was bleeding a little, and she was clutching her arm.

"John, I'm fine." Elizabeth reassured him as she walked over to him, albeit with a slight limp. "It's just a few scratches."

"But Sheppard, we both know this is only the beginning." Kolya laughed as he walked up behind Elizabeth and wrapped an arm around her waist. She shuddered at his touch. John went to lunge at him, unable to control his own anger.

"Oh, I wouldn't do that." Kolya pulled a knife out of his pocket and put it to Elizabeth's throat. John froze. "So I really want to get to the bottom of this new relationship." Kolya said still clutching Elizabeth and the knife to her throat. "Why do you love her?"

"I don't love her. It's my duty to protect her." John responded coldly.

"I don't think that's true." Kolya said tightening his grip on Elizabeth and drawing a little blood as he pressed the knife harder against her throat. "Now, let's try again and tell the truth or Elizabeth might not leave this room under the best of conditions."

My God John, it's not like he's going to take no for an answer. Elizabeth pleaded with John in her mind.

"How do you feel about Elizabeth." Kolya asked and motioned to Elizabeth saying, "remember to be truthful."

"I…I…she's."

"Come on Sheppard, you've got her life in your hands." Kolya stated.

"I enjoy her company." Kolya tightened his grip on Elizabeth. "I like her!"

His grip tightened once again. John's head fell as he whispered. "I love her."

Elizabeth's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. Kolya asked, his excitement palpable. "What was that Major?"

"I love her!" John shouted.

"Now that wasn't so hard." Kolya said letting go of Elizabeth, who merely continued to stare at John in astonishment.

You couldn't have thought of a better way to tell me? Elizabeth thought. She then smiled to herself and walked over to John laying a hand on his arm. His eyes darted up from where he had been looking on the ground to search hers. Eventually his lopsided grin spread across his face as he realized she returned the affection. Unfortunately before Elizabeth could say anything Kolya was talking again.

"Well now that we are all caught up I would like to inform you of our future plans." As Kolya said this John wrap his arms protectively around Elizabeth and put himself between her and Kolya in a futile attempt to defend her. "As punishment for what you've done Major we are sending Dr. Weir to M8S-372. Then, after 2 hours, I'm sending in troops after her with only one order: kill."

"Kolya! That's ridiculous. You can't…"

"Oh but Major Sheppard I can and anyways we are giving her a gun. Whether she decides to use it or not is not my problem." Kolya said as guards came into the room and moved towards Elizabeth. John took a defensive stance but Elizabeth put a hand on his shoulder.

"John, there's nothing we can do. He won't be reasoned with. Believe me I've tried. And I don't want you getting hurt because of me." Elizabeth soothed as she walked out form behind John and towards the guards. She looked back into his eyes and was hurt when she found him in so much pain. She mouthed 'I love…' before John was knocked over the head.

As John blacked out the echoes of Elizabeth screaming his name rang in his ears.


Uh-Oh how's Lizzie going to survive...or is she? I'll update soon but I still would love to hear absolutely anything you guys have to say.
