Chapter Eighteen
"Col. Sheppard maybe me or Teyla should do all the talking?" Jessica said as they walked into a village full of women. Not just women, but beautiful women.
" I think I know how to talk to women." John said as he looked over at Jessica." Are you okay you look a little uneasy?"
"Yeah I just fell a little sick." she said as she felt like her head was floating off her shoulders. Must be a cold bug. She thought as a woman with long wavy blonde hair and legs up to her shoulders came up to them. She wore a long white dress with slits up to her upper thigh. Her eyes sparkled blue as she smiled brightly.
"Hello and welcome to Cosmic." the woman said as she eyed John and Ronon." My name is Celestal."
"Thank you." John said" I'm Lt. Col. John Sheppard. This is Dr. Jessica Landry. Teyla Emmagan. Dr. Rodney McKay and Ronon Dex.."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Celestal said pleasingly as she smiled flirtatiously at John.
Jessica didn't like the way the women were looking at John and Ronon. Mainly Ronon she felt this urge to scratch the women's eyes out. How dare they look at Ronon the way she was starting to. They followed the woman through out her village. She introduced them all one by to each passing female that they saw. This was every mans dream. Beautiful women in paradise. Tall sparkling water falls where around every corner. Every kind of rose or exotic flower Jessica had ever saw or even imagined lined the paths they walked down. She paused at the edge of this stream because she saw a unicorn. It was like a dream that she didn't want to wake up from. She felt a strong hand on her shoulder and knew without turning around that it was Ronon.
"This is amazing." Jessica whispered as she leaned into his touch.
"They are sacred beings." Celestal said referring to the unicorn.
"She's beautiful." Jessica said as the unicorn's head came up.
It looked directly into Jessica's eyes. A funny sensation went down her spine and her heart felt light. She smiled. The unicorn walked toward her and once it was just a few inches in front of her it stopped.
"Her name is Wisdom." Celestal said" She is the youngest of her family and the only one that allows us to touch her. It is said that she will choose the one she thinks is worthy of her touch." Celestal's eyes sparkled as she watched the unicorn" We've never known an outsider that she has willingly come up to like this."
"Maybe she likes my bedside manner." Jessica joked amazed at what she was seeing before her.
"She can seeing into your soul." Celestal said" She knows that you would not hurt her."
The unicorn bowed it's head as it knelt before Jessica. It was the most peaceful moment Jessica had ever felt.
"It's okay to touch her if you want." Celestal said softly
Jessica slowly leaned in and gently stroked the creatures head.
"Oh great she gets to touch a magical creature and what do we get?" Rodney asked as the unicorn stood up and walked back to the stream.
"Rodney don't whine." John said as he teased him" Well, get you one of your own."
"That was great." Jessica said as she felt like she was going to pass out. She swayed a little, but Ronon caught her.
"Are you alright?" Teyla asked as she looked at her flushed face
"Yeah I've been feeling weird for a few days now." she said as they went inside this beautiful house. It was like an old Victorian style home.
"It will be dark soon and no one is allowed out." Celestal said
"Why not?" John asked as they all sat at a table.
"We have creatures that will drain your life." she said as she poured what looked like tea into some glasses
"Wraith." Jessica said knowing without anymore details who she was talking about.
"We call them the night hunters. They only come here at night and feed on innocents that wonder out." Celestal finished
"First thing in the morning we'll head back to the gate." John said
"I will show you to your rooms." Celestal said
They went up stairs that curved into a circle as they went up. The chandler was like a bunch of tiny diamonds hanging from the ceiling. The first room they came up to was John's. Inside it had deep red flooring with matching curtains. The bed was a four poster cherry wood frame. The covering was also a deep red. It had a nice warm feeling to it.
"This will be your room Col. Sheppard." Celestal said
They walked out and a little ways down was the room that Teyla was to stay in. Oddly enough it was a very deep pinkish color with a canopy bed that had a sheer pink canopy over it. It was beautifully warm.
Next was Rodney's which was a Royal Blue color with a four poster bed. Very calming. Then you had Ronon's room which was deep hunter green. The bed was a canopy bed that had sheer green curtains. The feeling of the room was protective and safe.
"Jessica you too will share this room with Ronon." Celestal said
"Oh I don't think it would be a good idea." Jessica said not wanting to share a room with Ronon.
"You'll be safer with him." She insisted without leaving room for arguments.
Everyone left to go to their own rooms for the night. Jessica looked over at Ronon who had this predatory expression on his face as he gave her a smile. This was going to be a night she would never be able to forget. She felt very light headed and if it hadn't been for Ronon she would've fell to the ground Something wasn't right she could feel it.
"Here lay down." Ronon said as he called for Sheppard to come to thier aide.
