She tripped after him as his pace quickened with every step. "Mark! Slow down! I'm going to fall." She giggled slightly. He slowed up a little but still gripped her hand with equal pressure. "Where are we going anyway?"

He glanced over his shoulder and smirked at her evilly but didn't say a word, he just continued to drag her to her destination. Finally, he came to a stop and turned to her.

"Uh.." She looked around herself, "Mark, we are in the middle of the street."

"Yeah I know," He smirked again, "Close your eyes." She rolled her eyes but closed them anyway. To make sure she wasn't peeking, she covered her eyes anyway and led her forward. He stopped her in front of a door and opened it tentitively. He then gently pushed her through the door and sat her down in the soft chair next to him. Finally she took his hands from her face and she opened her eyes to see she was in the Eye.

"What are we doing-" She started but he interrupted her.

"Activate."

The screen lit up and asked to know what they wanted to know. Maddy turned to Mark to see him furrow his brow. He was beginning to sweat nervously but finally bit down on his lip and spoke up, "Engagement rings."

Rings of all kinds and colors lit up the screen everywhere on the screen, illuminating the room. Mark licked his lips and glanced down at his girlfriend. She was wide eyed and her eyes were confused. She looked at the screen wildly, trying to understand the hint. Mark silently slid to the floor and onto one knee. He had no ring to present, but he took her hand gently as she turned to him. Her eyes sparkling as tears were beginning to build up.

"Maddy Shannon," He began, nervously licking his lips, "I am so glad I came here to Terra Nova. If I had never found this new life for myself, I would have never had the privilege to meet the love of my life. You mean more to me than anything I left behind in 2149. I never want to lose you, so Maddy. Would you marry me?"

She nodded yes as the tears started streaming down her face. He stood up and leant to kiss her deeply. He leant to kiss his fiance and he was filled with happiness and pride. He was sure he'd gotten the greatest girl in the colony. He never wanted another.

Josh walked Skye to her front steps where she finally turned to him. They hadn't spoken the entire walk from Commander Taylor's hut. "Thanks."

Josh nodded, "Anytime. Hey, if you ever you know, need a friend or need to talk. I'm here." He shrugged and stuck his hands in his pockets.

Skye nodded and bit her lip. She stuck her hands in her back pockets and backed up the steps to her house. "Thanks... Well, I'm going to bed."

"It's like noon. How can you be tired?" Josh gestured toward the sky.

"It's been a long week, Josh. I need a good sleep in my own bed." Skye started reaching for her door.

"Okay, night." Josh turned to walk away. Skye turned away to her own door but suddenly heard his footsteps behind her. "Wait, Skye."

She turned back to him to see he was close to her. He towered over to small frame and he looked down at her. He bent down and kissed her cheek quickly. "Good night." He then turned and walked off for good. She stood at her door for a moment with a slight blush but shook it off and turned to let herself into her house.

She changed and got ready for bed. She climbed under her sheets and set an alarm for nine o'clock. In no time, she was sound asleep.

Mark Reynolds had just walked Maddy home and was on the way home himself. It was now dark and he marvelled at himself. He was in love. In love with the girl and in love with the idea of marrying her. She smiled to himself and looked up at the stars. It was quiet except for the pair of feet he heard coming up behind him.

"Reynolds."

His heart nearly stopped. He turned around casually, "Mr. Shannon?" He gulped a little as the man came toward him.

"Take a walk with me, Reynolds." Jim Shannon led Mark away and started down a new street.

"Yes sir," Reynolds responded nervously.

It was silent for the first few minutes but Jim finally spoke, "What the hell are you thinking, Reynolds?"

Reynolds bit his lip and didn't respond.

"She's in high school still! She's much to young to be getting married. What are you thinking?"

Mark bucked up and decided to answer, "Terra Nova is officially cut off from 2149 and there is barely 1000 people on the entire planet. We need to begin repopulating."

Jim gave him a harsh look, "So ythis is what you want to do with my daughter?"

Reynolds flushed and grew flustered, "No sir! I want to marry your daughter because I'm in love with her! That a different stage in life! I wouldn't even think of starting a family until it was safe for them in Terra Nova. Sir that this not my intention at all." He fumbled for the right words to say to the man.

Jim eyed the boy next to him, "So you are just engaged with her for now?"

"Yes sir," Mark said quickly, "But she said she wants to get married as soon as possible."

Jim nearly choked on air, "What?"

Mark licked his lips, "She said she wants to get married within the next few months if possible."

Jim glared at his future son-in-law. "Unbelievable Reynolds. Unbelievable."

Mark couldn't look at his fiance's father, "I am so sorry sir." He was beginning to sweat.

Jim just shook his head, "Very well then. But you need to promise me something."

"Anything sir," Mark finally met the gaze of Jim. They were just reaching Mark's doorstep.

"Promise me that you will never hurt her, mistreat her, take advantage of her, or ever leave her." Jim struggled to get it out.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Mark said seriously.

"Good." Jim pat him on the back, "Because if you did, you'd have me and Josh to deal with." With that, Jim turned away and started back toward his home. Mark gulped and wiped away the sweat from his brow. He breathed out and went inside his house. He glanced at the time and noticed it was just turning nine o'clock. He had lots of wedding planning to do ahead of him during the oncoming days.

"Ugh."

Skye rolled over and grabbed her alarm and shut it off. She stretched and climbed out of bed. She wandered over to her bathroom and turned on the shower. She bathed, cleaning her skin and hair of all the grime that has built up over the last few days.

She shut off the water and climbed out, drying herself off and changing into some clean clothes. She pulled on her boots and coat. She let her hair fall naturally over her shoulders and in her eyes. She brushed on some makeup but it was too dark to see her face anyway.

She gave herself one last look in the mirror, grabbed her bag, and then went out through her back door. She snuck along the streets, sticking to the shadows. She found her usual spot to sneak past the fence and passed through. She ducked into the woods and trees that were about one hundred yards from the fence. She snuck through the foliage, knowing where to go without thinking. She wanted to concentrate on Lucas, but her mind kept taking her back to Josh's odd act at her doorstep.

In no time, she was in the small clearing where she left Lucas. He was sprawled on the bed of leaves. His eyes were shut and his breath was slow and calm. The canteen was on the ground beside him and a few crackers had been plucked from her pack. The fire was back to barely living embers as the night fell and a chill was setting in. She shivered slightly and looked over at Lucas. He was still bare chested and his bandages were dark with blood, but his wounds were slowly getting better.

First, she threw more logs on the fire and coaxed a flame back with skill she didn't know she posessed. Second, she moved over to the sleeping man to tend to his wounds. He wasn't much bigger than she was herself, but he was certainly fit. His chest was chiseled and toned. His abdomen was strong and solid, but not too much muscle to kill his looks. She stood over him for a moment and examined him, a slight smile on her face. For an evil, insane son of the man she respected most, he was quite good looking.

"Enjoying the view, Bucket?" A smirk spread across his face. His eyes didn't open for a few moments later to see her flustered face.

"No. And don't call me that" She said as bluntly as she could. "You need to get your bandages changed."

He met her eyes as she lent to help him sit up but he raised a hand to push her away. "I can do it myself." He managed to get himself into a sitting position but with a lot of effort. He huffed a sigh of relief once he had achieved his goal of sitting in a sitting position.

She tried to hide her smirk but her started to eye her as she started removing his bandages. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing." He said, but kept his eyes trained on her. By now, she'd removed all the bandages and was eyeing the bullet holes she'd made in his chest.

The firelight danced on her skin and he couldn't keep his eyes off her.

"Quit it, Lucas." She said stubbornly as she began to wrap his chest again.

He didn't take his eyes off her, "I can't."

"Yes, you can." She said irritated.

He brought his eyes to hers, but she didn't meet his. He sneered at her and finally pulled his eyes away and down to her hands where she was applying the last of the bandages. "There." She pulled away. She reached down to the canteen to see he'd nearly emptied it. "You drank plenty, but hardly ate anything."

"I wasn't hungry." He shrugged slightly.

"You need to eat to get stronger." She picked up a cracker and offered it to him.

He eyed it but made no move to eat it, "Feed it to me."

She instantly snarled and turned away furiously. "Not in a million years. You are just lucky I saved your life!"

"Lucky, huh?" He snorted, "Like I'd be lucky to be alive anymore. I have no reason to live."

She whirled back around at him, "You have every reason to live."

He swung his legs over to place his feet on the ground. He struggled, but managed to stand up eventually. He slowly took steps over to her until he was directly in front of her. He looked down at her carefully, his dark eyes sparkling in the firelight. His skin glowed and shimmered with sweat from the fire.

"Skye." He said softly and carefully. She was looking down at the ground, refusing to look up at him. "Skye." He said much more forceful this time but she still didn't budge. Irritated, his hand came up to her face to tilt her chin up so her eyes would meet his, but she slapped his hand away and backed away.

"Lay back down, Lucas. You don't want to reopen your wounds. You need rest." She turned and reached for her bag that she brought with her. She slung it over her shoulder to see that Lucas had in fact laid back down on his bed.

He smirked at her and she rolled her eyes, "Following orders for once." She mumbled.

He just sneered at her, "For now."

She rolled her eyes again and turned to leave but heard him call to her, "Good night Skye."

She huffed, "Good night." And she stalked back into the trees.

Wow. So long... O.o I'm so sleepy! D:

I'll update later, okay?:DDD Love you guys, leave lots of reviews again please? That was awesome:) It made me want to write more.

Peace!
