Sorry this took me so long. I've just been really lazy. This chapter can get a little confusing at times so just stick with it because it is all explained at the end of the chapter and I hope that I got the characterizations right because I've been working on them for a long time.

Chapter 7

"Well, Dr. Weir, I never would have expected this from you." Kolya said as he strolled towards Elizabeth. "I hope you're happy with yourself because I normally do not treat people well who have injured my men."

"I apologize for causing any inconvenience Kolya, but you gave me no…"

"You little Bitch!" Kolya shouted. He slapped her and she crumpled to the floor, though more out of exhaustion than anything else. The gun she had been holding fell to the ground and slid out of reach. "How dare you take a tone with me? I tell my men to be nice, to make it quick and painless and this is how you repay me?"

Elizabeth sat up and stared coldly into Kolya's eyes. Surprisingly, she didn't find the anger she had expected but some other emotion she couldn't place; furthermore, she could tell Kolya was also surprised by this new emotion. She hesitantly stood up feeling more and more uncomfortable under his scrutinizing glare.

"Elizabeth, are you ok?" John called from his chair feeling completely helpless in the situation. "Kolya if you lay another hand on her I'll…"

"Major, will you shut up!" Kolya barked. A sly grin spread across his face as the piercing silence echoed in Elizabeth's ears. "There's been a change in plans. You see I think I found a better use for lovely Elizabeth. I never truly noticed how beautiful she was before."

By this time Elizabeth was standing and beginning to back away in fear. Kolya, however, closed the distance quickly. Roughly, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.

Elizabeth had no idea how she kept from throwing up, but, perhaps, the thought that that horrible moment might end soon had something to do with it. She heard John yelling in the background.

"Kolya, you bastard!" John spat. "Get your grimy lips off of her now!"

"You know Major." Kolya retorted breaking his kiss with Elizabeth, who merely stood petrified hoping she was having a nightmare. "Now that I have Elizabeth." He smiled. "I don't need you anymore. Anyways I think it might be punishment enough to know you'll die and leave Dr. Elizabeth Weir to be mine for the rest of her life. Or at least,that is, until she stops being entertaining to me."

"Kolya, my team will come get us before you…"

"Shut Up!" Kolya screamed and motioned to his guards. They started punching John hard in the face and stomach.

"No! Stop it, Please!" Elizabeth pleaded. Kolya held up his hand to make the guards stop. They moved aside and revealed John with blood smeared all over his face.

"Better yet," Kolya started again stroking Elizabeth's cheek. She shut her eyes tightly trying to block him out, "guards please escort Major Sheppard out. I'll deal with him later. I would like five minutes by myself with Elizabeth."

He purred her name into her ear and Elizabeth's blood ran cold. She would be alone; alone, with Kolya.

Once John was gone Kolya broke his embrace with Elizabeth and triumphantly walked to where John had been sitting.

Come on Elizabeth, you can do this.

"I must say Liz, I never saw this coming." Kolya chuckled. "You are a very charming and interesting creature. I can see why Major Sheppard loved you."

Elizabeth couldn't find her voice to respond. Elizabeth you have to. You need to.

Kolya slowly began to walk over to her again. "I'm definitely going to enjoy your company. But don't worry, eventually you'll be able to forget your other life and accept what you are now..." He brushed a curl out of her face.

"Mine."

How dare he think that? I have to do this, for John!

Elizabeth plastered a sweet smile across her face and looked into his excited eyes. "Kolya, I never thought I would be able to do this but I think that if I could ever accept taking a life, it would be yours."

Elizabeth quickly pulled out a gun from the back of her pants and aimed it clumsly at Kolya, who had a smirk on his face.

"I know you too well Dr. Weir. You can't shoot me. I'm not worth all you've worked for. Think of all those treaties you negotiated." Kolya continued as he comfortably strolled away from Elizabeth and around the room, all the while being followed by her gun. "How could you go against all of that because of me? I'm just not worth your life's achievements Elizabeth. And Sheppard, what would he think? Lowering yourself to that level!"

"He would know I'd done what I had to." Elizabeth answered with a slight shake in her voice.

Kolya turned and began to slowly walk back towards Elizabeth. "oh Liz, if you shoot me, you won't be the same strong-willed Elizabeth he 'loves.'" Kolya hissed. "You'll just be another mindless violent…"

"Stop It!" Elizabeth cried, her eyes watering. Could he be right? Would John really…? No, he would love me. Wouldn't he?

"You will not be the same Elizabeth Weir if you pull that trigger." Kolya stated as he stopped mere millimeters in front of the barrel of the gun. "Now, we've established it's not worth the repercussions so just put the gun…"

(Bang)

Kolya tumbled to the ground with his hand over his heart. Quickly his coat turned a deep red as his blood began to spread.

"Well," Kolya said coughing up blood. "I…I guess you'll just have to see what this means for your future."

"Don't worry Kolya," Elizabeth said her voice still shaky as she tried to calm herself down and wipe away the tears from her eyes. "I never should have thought of listening to you. John will love me no matter what I do. And at least now I know that when I really need to I will be able to kill the one person I hate most in this universe."

Kolya chuckled, even professing her pure hatred for him, he found her undeniably beautiful and he wished he would have noticed it sooner. He died with a smile on his face.

Elizabeth stood trembling, with the gun tightly grasped between her hands as it had been for the past minute though now it was aimed at the floor. She'd done it. Now, if only she could find a way to save…

"Elizabeth!" John stood in the doorway slowly lowering the gun he had in his hands as he took in the scene before him. "What…What happened?"

"I…I." Elizabeth started and the tears quickly reappeared in her eyes.

"Liz its ok." John comforted as he quickly crossed the room and wrapped his arms around Elizabeth. "You know you had to…right?"

"Uh-huh." Elizabeth chuckled through her tears. "Hey, how did you get away?"

"Come on," John said smiling. "You really think two guards are going to keep me away from you? But I've got to ask, where'd you get the gun?" John questioned realizing the gun she had dropped earlier was still on the floor.

"When I shot the guard I foolishly thought for a moment I'd be able to gate home. Thankfully I understood how naïve that was and got the guard's hand gun, well, after I knocked him out." She laughed before her eyes started to water again as she thought about all the violence she done that day.

"Come on." John said wiping her tears and pulling her closer. "Let's go home. We can talk about all of this once Carson checks us into the infirmary for a year or two."

Ok, I hope you liked it. Just one more chapter which I will post before next Thursday. Ya, I know that's not much of a promise but hey it is one. Please review.
