Eyup. Yeah, a lot of producing going on, here, and it's not what you think, ok? You all are sick-minded people! Ah! I don't own the Stargate Atlantis characters, or the show itself, obviously, because you STILL don't see my name in the credits! Ok, then. I hope you like it:0D
Chapter 3
"Rodney..." said Sheppard's soft voice.
Rodney scurried over to John and sat on his heels.
"How, um...how are you feeling?" Rodney stuttered nervously.
"Head hurts," John said, closing his eyes and turning his head, flinched slightly.
"Teyla and Ronon went to get you some sticks so we can drag you back to the Stargate. That didn't sound like I meant it. I mean, we're not going to really drag you to the 'gate...well, we are, but we're not-"
"I get it, Rodney," Sheppard whispered, now looked at the scientist.
"Right. Well, um...can I do something?" McKay asked.
"'M' jus' tired," he slurred, his eyes slowly sliding close again.
"You've got to try and stay awake," Rodney said hurriedly. "Earlier...you said something about a girl...Seline? Savin?" he said, trying to recall the name, but drawing a blank.
John's eyes got wide and he looked up at Rodney again, sitting half-way up before Rodney put a hand on his chest.
"What are you doing?" Rodney said.
"Senave. He's gonna kill her. The man...I don't know...I'm..." the Colonel rushed.
"Slow down, I don't-"
"He's gonna kill her!" Sheppard said, more urgently this time. "She doesn't have much time left! We have to find her, or she'll die," Sheppard told Rodney, who looked scared half to death and back.
A crunch sound was heard behind them, and Rodney pulled his gun and aimed it into the darkness.
"McKay, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead," came Ronon's voice, then his appearance, followed by Teyla's.
"Colonel Sheppard. You have awoken," Teyla said happily, setting down the large sticks on the ground.
"We can't just leave. Senave's here. She came to me for help, so I need to help her," Sheppard said.
"It was only a dream, Colonel," Teyla said.
"No! She was the energy signal. It was her ghost calling to me. I know I sound crazy, but it's true," Sheppard explained.
Rodney pulled out his energy monitor and caustiously walked over to the spot Sheppard had collapsed.
"There's no energy signal here, anymore," Rodney said slowly. He looked up and began to speak. "But you said he was going to kill her. If she's a ghost, she can't die."
"You don't understand. If he gets her soul, she'd be lost forever. Limbo, Rodney. You can't just let this happen," John pleaded. "Rodney-"
"Colonel Sheppard, you must remain calm. You are under a lot of stress at the moment. Relax," Teyla said.
"Don't tell me to relax! The only stress I'm under is the stress you're putting on me by not letting me help this little girl-"
"A little girl which may have been a hallucination," Ronon added.
Sheppard looked at them all like they were nuts. He sat the rest of the way up, then stood.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Rodney asked in disbelief.
"I'm gonna go find her!" Sheppard yelled in anger. "You're sure as hell not gonna help me!"
"What, are you nuts?! This planet's nearly the size of the sun! How in hell do you expect to find her?" Rodney asked incredulously.
"I know where she is," he said. He stared off into the dark treeline and said, "She knows I'm coming."
"John," said Teyla, placing a hand on his arm.
He pushed her back and pulled his gun. Not two seconds later, he was on the ground convulsing.
"Ronon, make up the cot. Hurry!" Teyla said, kneeling beside the Colonel, rolling him onto his side. "It's all right, John. We are taking you home."
Ronon was a few feet away, quickly tieing together sticks into the form of a sled. Rodney leaning over and took Sheppard's gun from the ground.
A few minutes later, the convulsing stopped, leaving John cataleptic.
"He is unconcious, and seems to be doing better off than before," Teyla reported. Ronon almost had the cot done, but was putting on the finishing touches. He laid on of the emergency blankets on the sled, then lifting Sheppard onto that, covering him up with the second. There was a large rope tied to the sled, one end on the left corner, and the other end on the right, so Ronon could pull the sled.
"We'll go for about an hour, then stop and sleep for the night. I'll take first watch, make sure he's not going anywhere. That sound all right?" Ronon said, lookeing to Teyla and Rodney for support.
Neither answered, but Teyla knodded, so they set off.
