Stargate Atlantis story
Chapter 7
Disclaimer: I don't own anything just the plot.
Warning: this has a bit of angst in and blood.
John and Ronan had been walking back from the meeting on their way to the cafeteria for some food. When john felt something tear apart in his chest. He clutched at his chest, nearly convulsing over onto the floor. Something wasn't right. It didn't fell as if it was his pain. It was as if... as if it belonged to Melissa. He clutches at Ronan. He couldn't hear anything all he could was feel.
"Sheppard!" Ronan yelled, noting the paleness of john's skin against his usual colour.
"Chest" john murmured leaning onto Ronan.
John grabbed hold off Ronan's arm tightening his arm as hard as he could.
"Melissa." "Get me too Melissa" john practically yelled at everybody that was surrounding them.
Dr Keller and the medics and a few other people that were surrounding them started at him as if he was delusional.
Ronan tuck one looks at john and hosted him up onto his shoulder and ran straight to Melissa's room ignoring the yells that were coming for him to stop.
They arrive at Melissa's door. John thumped Ronan on the back. By the time they got their Teyla and Rodney had joined them.
"Open it" john said, pleadingly. The pain in his chest was lessening to a degree. The door opened and they stepped inside. They could barely make out the shape of Melissa. John walked over to Melissa and crouched down. The others followed. That's when they noticed it.
Blood. Blood was on the sheets and on her skin. It looked like it was seeping out of her pores. Her skin was clammy and pale. Her lips had a blue tinge to them. Her eyes looked like they were glued shut.
"Holy..." said Rodney. He ran to the communicator and told them to get a medical team down to Melissa's room ASAP.
Teyla and Ronan watched john reach out with his hand and gently lay it against her check. Medics came into the room quickly. Dr Keller was with them. She had one look at Melissa and ordered a full emergency kit to be done. That's when it happened.
A shield formed round Melissa and john not allowing any one in. The shield was translucent like glass but when someone touched it, a blue tinge formed around it. Nobody knew what to do. John stood up and looked around.
"What do we do?" he yelled through the shield, looking at Melissa starting to shake.
"I... I don't know" replied the Jenny, sacred for her patient.
John looked at Melissa lying there on the bed. The blue tinge on her lips was becoming more prominent. He strode over to the bed and ran his hands through the curls of her hair that were covering her forehead. Tears started falling down his face. He was losing her right before his very eyes.
"You can't leave." "You can't leave me." He whispered into her hair leaning against her head. The pain in his chest was tearing him inside. He looked up at the others in the room.
They could all see the pain in his eyes. His eyes were shimmering with unshed tears. They would help but they couldn't get pass the shield. John climbed on to the bed, ignoring the blood that surrounded her. He reached for her hand and placed it upon his lips. He ever so gently kissed her hand.
"Don't leave me." He kept repeating over and over. Blue tinges started appearing in the shields. He looked up at the doctors.
"What should I do?" he asked, pleadingly.
They looked thoughtful, trying to come up with something but they couldn't.
"Wait a minute!" one of the doctors said. "She's part wraith right?" "What if this is a side effect?" he asked, looking around.
"I see where you're going with this," Rodney said, clicking his fingers together. His eyes lighting up with an idea. "She may need feeding."
The doctor was looking at him as if he was stupid. "I wasn't talking about that," he said.
"If you're so smart, then tell us what you think wrong?" Rodney said ignorantly.
"She may need something to sustain her like the wraiths do," he said. "We don't know how the wraith actually feed, but what if Melissa needs something that she needs to survive."
"That's what I said," Rodney replied.
"No, you were thinking about her needing to feed on humans," he said. "If she was looking to feed on humans wouldn't she have already done it by know." "What I think she needs is something only a wraith can provide."
Rodney started thinking.
"Is it possible Rodney?" Samantha carter asked coming into the conversation.
Rodney stated bobbing his head up and down. "Quite possible... extremely possible..." he said.
John sat there on the bed thinking. There was no way they were going to be able to get a wraith in time. Then it clicked. He pulled out the knife that was in his boot. He slides it across the palm of his hand and let it bleed. Blood dripped from the wound onto Melissa's lips and dripped down her face and down her neck.
While this happened everybody else was arguing about what to do. Then Ronan noticed.
"John what are you doing?" he shouted.
It caught everybody's attention. Chins dropped and mouths formed Os.
Blood dripped onto Melissa's lips. The blue tinge stated to disappear. Her chest started moving slowly. Eyelids stated flickering. Her eyes opened and caught johns. A small smile formed on the corner of his lips. Melissa saw his hand hovering. She grabbed it and pulled it to her lips, the cut directly over the tip of her tongue.
"No!" screams echoed across the room.
Melissa kept his hand directly above and looked into his eyes. She saw trust, pain and an unknown emotion that she couldn't identify. She clasped her lips around his hand and gently sucked. Bangs against the shield were coming more hurriedly and with more power. But she still continued. Her tongue flicked out between her lips and ran along the cut. It began to heal. New cells stated to form around and along the cut.
Once it was fully healed, Melissa took his hand and placed it by his other hand. John looked at his hand. There was no scar and no mark that it was ever cut. He looked down at Melissa and gently placed his hand against the back of her head. They kept starring at each other, ignoring everything that was going on around them. John opened his arms and pulled Melissa up against his chest. Melissa tucked her head under his chin and curled against him. The shield collapsed as they started to slip into blissful unconsciousness.
