Chapter 2

Let's Go

She felt completely disoriented. It was dark. Did they crash? The pain in her neck and the stiffness in her legs told her that they did. She cracked her eyes open, and the view became clear.

The side of the airplane that was opposite from where she was sitting was completely torn off. Day light from the outside was shining in. Scully became aware of the hand resting on her wrist, and remembered about Mulder. His head was tilted forward and his eyes were closed. He was unconscious, but breathing. She couldn't see any obvious signs of injury.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and got to her feet. Everything spun for a minute, but she steadied herself and stood up straight.

"Mulder… Mulder!" She shook his shoulder. He was out cold. He must have hit his head when they came down. She heard a groan from next to him and noticed that Phoebe was coming to.

"Bloody hell… What happened?"

"We crashed." Scully said and helped Phoebe up to her feet.

"Are you hurt?"

"I don't think so… Just my arm." Phoebe said, holding her shoulder.

"Fox!" Her attention was turned to Mulder, While Scully made her way to the pilot's cabin.

Mark was not completely conscious yet, but he was moaning. "Ohh, shit. Are we on a tree?" He asked, only half kidding.

"I think we're on the ground." She said, looking him over for injuries.

"Are any of you guys hurt back there?"

"No, not too much. What happened to the plane?" She asked as he stood up.

He looked at the controls and shook his head. "I have no idea. I've never had anything like this happen to me. Everything just shut down." He picked up his headset and tried to make contact, but it was useless. Scully looked at her watch to check the time, but it had stopped.

"That's odd."

"Hey, you're bleeding!" Mark said, so she felt the back of her head.

"I'm alright. It's just a scratch."

"Scully!" That was Mulder. When she and Mark went back to the main cabin they saw that both Phoebe and Mulder were up.

Mulder felt a pang of relief when he saw Scully unharmed.

"Is everybody ok?" He asked, and the rest nodded.

"My cell phone isn't working." Phoebe said.

"My watch stopped too."

"What the hell happened?" Mark asked.

Mulder looked at his own watch. It wasn't working either. He couldn't help but feel some excitement. They were in the right place. "Wait, does this have to do with this case you're working on?" Mark asked suspiciously.

"It just might…" Phoebe said, eyeing Mulder.

"I think we might have entered some kind of a force field here. All our electric and cellular devices have shut off. In other words, aside from the four of us… everything died." Scully didn't look too interested in these revelationsb of his.

"How far are we from this town we were heading to?" She asked.

"It's called 'Derevo'. It would have taken us about an hour by air… and about four or five with a car, if there was a road here." Mark said.

"It would take us days on foot…" Scully pointed out.

"It gets very cold here during the night. It shouldn't snow, but from the look of the clouds it will be pouring rain by sunset." Mulder noticed Scully still staring at him. She raised her accusing eyebrow, and he could almost hear her saying, "we shouldn't have gone."

"Alright, let's think reasonably here people. We can't just stand around and wallow in our misfortunes. The longer we stay here, the longer it will take us to get to 'Derevo'." Phoebe went on. He could see Scully getting annoyed by this.

"Wait, maybe we shouldn't leave here. They are expecting us there, they might go look for us when they realize we're late." Scully pointed out.

"I doubt that." Mark said. "We're talking of a tiny place… I don't even know if they have any sort of police there. And their chances of finding us out even if they look for us from the air are extremely slim. This forest is huge, and the trees are too tall to notice our some jet."

"Alright. But do we have food? Shelter?" Scully asked.

"I have two tents in the back, and food that should be enough for about four to six days. It's protocol to pack up for safety." Mark said.

"Great! Lets collect everything and get going!" Phoebe smiled, and tagged Mulder by the arm. "Help me gather the food.Mulder looked back at Scully who seemed deep in thought and turned around to follow Phoebe.

Most of the food was in cans, and there was a big supply of water. Mark and Scully joined them with some backpacks and they started filling them up with food. "I have three sleeping bags here, but I don't know if we'll be able to carry everything. It gets very cold at night." Mark said.

"Food should be our first priority. It'll warm us up more than any sleeping bag would." Scully said.

"Mark says it will only take us a few days. We'll be fine, I think we need the sleeping bags more, don't you think so Mulder?" Phoebe asled, and stared at Mulder, waiting.

He knew exactly what she was doing. From the beginning, he had no doubt as to her main motivation for coming to him. Helping her with the case was just a bonus. And one of the reasons he agreed to go was for how strange things had been between him and Scully lately. It's almost as if they'd grown apart. For the last weeks, she hasn't exchanged one word that wasn't related to work with him. Maybe something had happened. But how was he supposed to know if she never told him anything? In a way, he was using Phoebe to make her jealous. Besides, it was refreshing to have something remotely interested in him. Although he didn't mean in the way that Phoebe was.

"I don't know Phoebe. Scully might be right, we never know what might happen." Phoebe frowned, but then forced a smile.

"Alright. You're probably right Dana."

'Dana' forced a smile back, and continued stuffing cans in the backpack.

Mulder was starting to regret this. This certainly wasn't going to be fun. Not to talk about dangerous. He didn't want to mention this quite yet, but something was very wrong out here, and fifteen people have already disappeared. If they weren't careful, they'd be number 16, 17,18, and 19.

AN: So, I know this chapter wasn't too exciting, but believe me, this is about to get good. Leave a word please!
