Okay so I don't think this story is going to make it past Chapter 35 so that means that this story is coming to a rapid close. NO WORRIES THOUGH. I will make the finale verrrryyyy interesting:) I hope you all have had a wonderful time reading this story but I think that it's time it came to an end. I love this story, but all good things have to end. As I said before, I doubt there will be a sequel, but look for a one shot as an epilogue. I think after this story is over and summer comes around in June I will be starting a new but MUCH SHORTER story. I have the idea in my head, all I need to do is write it. But I'm worried it isn't good enough... hmm... We will see, okay? I also think that I will make Something or Someone a longer story, 15 chapters max probably. So yeah... I look forward to writing for you guys!:D Thank you for all your kind reviews! They mean a lot:)
I dedicate this chapter to:Riley01314 for your super kind words and support and that you were so excited to find out what happens that you PMed me:) I'm so glad I have such a great fanbase! Tha k you all!:)

Thud Thud Thud Thud!"Skye! Get out here now!" An unfamiliar voice was banging on Skye's door. But she just ignored the calls Jim Shannon. "I promise you it's not what you're expecting! Come on! Just come out!" But she just dug her face into her hands. Nothing could withstand what she knew would come if she left this house. "If you're not coming out, then I'm coming in!" The words were immistakable. Jim Shannon was about to kick down her door.
WHAM! The first bang came. He was kicking her front door. WHAM! She could see the hinges pull away from the wall half way. WHAAAAM! The door flew from the wall and slammed down onto the floor of her hallway. Sunlight flooded in, blinding Skye. She threw her hands up to cover her eyes after a week of no light.
"Ah! Go away!" Skye tried to stand up on the hardwood floor but her socks made the surface slick and she slipped and fell on the ground.
"No." Jim Shannon barged in and scooped her up in his arms, tossing her over his shoulder and marching himself out of her house with her in tow. Her hair was a matted and greasy mess while dark circles sat under her eyes. Her face was flush and her cheeks were hollow from not eating. Her clothes were dirty and hung off her in all the wrong ways. She was a mess. A complete and total mess. He dragged her kicking and screaming out into the main market place where everyone had turned to see the Shannon carrying the girl over his shoulder. Everyone went dead quiet, even the guards threatening Lucas to stay back from the gates.
"LET ME GO!" Skye screamed as she tried to punch the Shannon with her small fists and weak arms. "Take me HOME!"
"No, Skye. I'm going to set you down, but don't run away because I'll just come get you again." Jim said rather harshly for his kind fatherly nature. He dropped her down in front of Commander Taylor and the entirety of Terra Nova. "Commander. I brought Skye."
She turned to finally face the Commander. She didn't say a word but neither did he. He was too overtaken by her weak state. Her limbs looked gaunt and bony while her eyes were clouded with pain and sadness. As he took in what she looked like he didn't notice the tears come to his eyes. "Skye..." He croaked at her.
"What am I doing here?" She spat as harshly as she could, mustering up as much energy to feed her anger as she possessed.
"I-" Taylor started but lost the words.
"Someone asked to see you." Jim spoke up.
Skye shot him a dark look. "In public? In front of everyone who thinks I'm a god forsaken whore? What kind of sick joke is this?"
"It isn't." Taylor murmered. "He isn't exactly a part of this colony, Skye.."
Skye sucked in her breath. No... It couldn't be, could it? NO, it can't be.
"Skye..." The voice was immistakable. She was close enough to the fence she could hear it clear. Like a bell on a Sunday morning. Her heart contracted. "Skye... I'm here. I'm back. Just like I said I would be." His voice was like velvet, muscal to her ears and calming to her nerves. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Could it really be you?" She turned to the fence and saw him. His hands resting on the heavy logs of the fence, his expression pained and sad.
"I'm so sorry I left you. I am so sorry Skye. I came as soon as I heard the news. Is it true Skye? Are you really pregnant?" Lucas looked confused and scared, a look he would only give her. One Taylor hadn't seen since his wife's death.
Skye felt her heart sink. He didn't want her to be pregnant. That was the only reason he was back. "No Lucas..." She whispered. Her eyes dropped to her hands that figeted in front of her. "I'm not pregnant."
She heard a sound eminate from him but she didn't dare decifer it. She didn't want to hurt herself more that she already had. "Skye." He said strongly now. "Look at me."
"No.." She whispered.
"Look. At. Me." He said much more sternly. His voice thick with anxiety. Her eyes slowly rose to his. The entire colony was dead quiet now as they strained to hear what he said. He reached a hand through the fence out to her. "Come here."
She took a few tentitive steps forward and slowly reached out her hand to him. He strained for a second and grabbed it as it hovered before his. He yanked on her and pulled her up to the fence forcefully. Jim and Taylor both suddenly seemed to snap out of their trance and jumped into action.
"Let her go!" Jim shouted, reaching over to slap Lucas's hand away.
"Do it, son." Taylor spat but Skye suddenly piped up.
"It's alright!" She yelled at them as she felt everyone in the colony shift in surprise and anxiousness. "I trust him."
The look on Taylor's face was a mix of fear and betrayal as he recalled his dream. "Skye..."
"Shut up!" She snapped and the Commander shut his mouth.
"Skye..." Lucas asked gently, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand to relax her. "What did they do to you?" His voice was soft and caring. One of love. Jim's jaw dropped slightly.
There were tears in Skye's eyes. She shook her head and sniffled. "I- I can't explain. It's too horrible.."
A look of pure guilt and hatred passed Lucas's features. "You know... You can come with me again..."
Skye looked up and into his jade eyes and she felt herself relax and the tears seemed to stop. "I never wanted to leave you.."
Lucas chuckled softly at her, his gentle charisma charmed a slight smile onto her face.
"What!" A shout was heard from not too far away. Footsteps stormed up to them and a hand reached up and snatched Skye's hand from Lucas. "Quit brainwashing her! You aren't what is good for her! Am I the only sane one here anymore?"
"You have no idea what I'm talking about you stupid Shannon boy!" Lucas snarled as he strained his arm throught he gate and tried to reach for Skye who was fighting back against Josh.
"Let me go, Josh!" She screamed, pounding his chest with her tiny fists.
"No! Not until you're thinking clearly!" Josh gripped her wrists. "Because clearly for the last few weeks you haven't been!"
Taylor and Jim suddenly joined in by helping rip Skye away from Lucas as guards pushed their way in and shoved Lucas's hands back through the gate.
"NO!" Skye screamed, still trying to wrench herself free of the Terra Novan's hold on her. "Let me go! I love him! I love him! I want to be with him! I love him!"
"Skye!" Lucas cried back, desperately trying to push himself through the gate. "Let her go! She did nothing wrong!"
Taylor let the two Shannons continue their hold on Skye. "Take her to my house. Post a guard. I don't want her leaving it." The Shannons nodded and continued to haul Skye screaming and fighting away. Taylor whirled around the guards at the gate. "Get him inside. Lock him up in the brig. Post five guards to the door. Do it quickly. There is much to talk about."
With that said, he turned and stormed off toward the Command Post, pushing past the stunned Terra Novan Citizens standing in the square. They sure as hell didn't know what to make of the situation. And neither did the Commander.
Hehe... How was that? :D A little drama... A little fun... A little... LUCAS:) I know you've all been wanting more Lucas. All I hear is LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS. So yeah, here you are. Lucas:) God I love him:)
Anyway, I hope you all leave a review! It'd be greatly appreciated! Thank you all!
