Part 4
Teyla stared at John and Ronon, never taking her eyes off of them as Ezekiel laughed heartedly at the desperate looks on their faces. She blinked back tears as Ezekiel turned to her. "Forgive me, love" he said as he removed her gag.
"You cannot ask me to choose," Teyla said her voice louder than she expected. Ezekiel giggled madly. "You my dear, are just as entertaining as your friends! If only I had tied you up with them! But alas, a deal is a deal..." He walked over to Colonel Sheppard and punched him hard in the face. Colonel Sheppards head reeled against the metal pole behind him and blood began to slowly drip from his nose."You see, I can make you choose. For if you do not, both of them will surely die, preferably screaming." Ezekiel nodded slightly to Claude and Claude approached Ronon, stopping to grab a steel glove from the case. He placed the glove over his hand and stood over Ronon. Ronon looked up at him and said calmly," When I am free, I will rip the still beating heart from your chest."
Claude smiled at Ronon, a gruesome look in his eye. Claude rolled up his sleeves, cranked back his hand and threw his steel fist into Ronon's gut. Ronon doubled over immediatley, coughing and gagging. Teyla felt helpless and her eyes traveled to meet John's, as he prepared himself for the next blow. Teyla pleaded, "Please I beg of you... do not do this!"
Ezekiel stared and watched Teyla's face stream with tears and held up his hand for Claude to wait. "My little princess, I thought this would be easy! Do you not care for one of them more than the other? Is there not one of the two that you absolutely could not live without?"
Teyla's eyes flicked to John.
Colonel Sheppard spoke wearily. "Take Ronon and get outta here, Teyla. I'll be fine...Go."
Ronon still doubled over gasped, "NO!"
Ezekiel grabbed Colonel Sheppard by the hair and rammed his head into the metal pole. "CHOOSE!" Ezekiel shrieked wildly. Claude's eyes glowed as he drew back his fist again and came crashing down on Ronon's shoulder, dropping Ronon to the floor like a withered doll."CHOOSE!" Ezekiel squeeled.
Ezekiel swiped up a small dagger and raised it high in the air over Colonel Sheppard hollering, "CHOOSE!"
