Ch.4 I'll Find You
"We have to help them." Dana said looking at the people running in every direction.
"We have to get this to Corinth, take us to the helicopter." Carter told the man. He wanted to do exactly what Dana suggested but he knew that they had something more important to do. Dana could see that the man wanted to help just as much as she did but instead ran towards the building, and she had no choice but to follow. They got onto the elevator which took them to the last top floor; from there they ran up the stairs and onto the roof.
"Good luck." The man shouted over the noise and ran back inside the building. Another man jumped off the helicopter and ran towards them.
"Hey, my names Tom, I'm going to be the pilot." The man shouted above the noise, he looked from one to another. "Which one of you is going?" he asked them.
"Both." Carter answered.
"Both?" The man asked confused. "There's only room for one of you." The man told him after a moment and there was a bang on the door that led back into the building.
"We have to go! Who's it going to be?" He asked looking at the two.
"Dana go." Carter said instantly.
"No, I can't …I can't leave you." Dana said shaking her head. She was already leaving her brother and friends behind not to mention losing her dad, she couldn't leave him too. The banging on the door got louder, and Carter pulled her close to him and took the key that hung around his neck and placed it around hers.
"Yes you can." He looked down at her left hand which he was holding and saw the ring he'd given her. "I'll find you." Carter told her, she reached up and kissed him urgently holding him tight.
"I love you." Dana said pulling away, Carte replaced his hand in hers with the box that contained the fuel cell.
"I love you too…go!" Carter said giving her a gentle push towards Tom. Dana followed Tom and they got into the helicopter, as they did the door gave way and the robots poured in. Carter was ready for them and began fighting them off. One got past him and headed towards the helicopter which was barely taking off.
"Hurry!" Dana shouted as the robot clung to the bottom of the helicopter. Carter managed to take one of the robots laser guns and shot the one that was hanging from the helicopter. Dana's heart broke as she watched Carter fighting the robots and she was taken away in the helicopter. She held onto the box so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"How long until we reached Corinth?" Dana asked.
"Five hours." Tom answered. How would anyone make it Corinth? Dana thought to herself. Then there was a loud explosion. Dana could hear the could hear the sound of metal twisting together and then the helicopter began to spin out of control.
"Hold on!" Tom shouted to her as he tried to control the helicopter. Her stomach dropped as they descended down rapidly. Then the helicopter crashed into the earth sending dust and metal parts flying everywhere. There was a sharp pain on her side and the sound of cracking. She could hear someone screaming and wondered who it was until she realized it was her. The helicopter slid across the ground there was metal flying around and twisting in unnatural ways. Dana opened her eyes when she felt the helicopter stop moving.
The smell of smoke filled her lungs making her cough which made her side hurt. Once she was able to breathe normally, she moved her hands and legs made sure that everything was still functioning. She realized that the helicopter was upside down and she was only being held in placed by her seat belt. She knew she would have to be careful when she got out.
There was rusty taste mouth and there was something warm trickling down her forehead and cheek, but she ignored it and began to undo the buckles that held her in place. She was careful getting out of her seat and made her way to the open side of the helicopter and saw Tom lying on the edge, unconscious. She heard her ankle pop ads she put her weight down but she ignored the pain and went over to Tom.
She got out and could saw that they had landed somewhere on the beach but she couldn't hear the waves, the only thing she could hear was the pounding in her ears and the screams coming from the opposite side. She looked around for somewhere to take shelter and only found a cluster of rocks that they could hide behind. She went back into the helicopter and searched for a first aid kit seeing that Tom was bleeding pretty badly. She found a blanket and managed to put Tom on top of it.
She would have to drag him to the rocks since he was almost a foot taller than she was and wouldn't be able to carry him. Her whole body protested and her ankle cracked with each step she took, but she had to get behind the rocks and didn't stop until they were hidden. She fell to the floor exhausted and then Tom moaned and Dana knew she had to get to work before he regain consciousness. She took out everything that she might need and then took off the vest he was wearing.
She saw that there was a deep gash across his stomach and the skin was hanging. She took a deep breath before continuing. She attempted to clean the wound as best she could, her pale hands stood out against the red blood. Her hands were shaking as she cleaned his wounds and tried to keep them from bleeding.
By the time she had bandaged him up, her head was spinning and she couldn't control the shaking of her body. She looked up at the sky it was nearly sunset. Tom shivered and whimpered but didn't wake up. Dana took off the vest she was wearing and put it over him to keep him warm. Her head ached and her body cracked with every movement. She sat against a rock and stay there sitting perfectly still trying to control the spinning in her head. Dana took a deep breath and examined herself.
Her arms were beginning to bruise and there were small cuts everywhere, but she wasn't worried about them. She touched the spot on her temple that was pounding and felt something sticky and wet, it wasn't until she looked at her hand that she realized it was blood and wondered if it was her own. Before she had time to ponder who's blood it was Tom began to stir. He began to move and then yell in pain, Dana rushed over to him and almost fell over from the sudden movement. She caught herself and then tried to keep him from moving.
"Tom, it's ok, you're going to be ok…stop moving….Listen to me you have to stop moving." Dana told him trying to calm him down. He stopped moving and tried to hold still.
"You have to go, Corinth's shields will…be closing soon." He said with some effort.
"I'm not going to leave you." Dana assured, there was a grateful look in his eyes when she said it.
"I'm…sorry we had to leave him." Tom told Dana referring to Carter.
"Thanks." Dana said sitting next to him.
"Can you do me…a favor?" He asked her breathless, she nodded her response.
"In my vest pocket there's a letter…to my wife." He said the last part with a groan.
"I'll give it to her." Dana said getting the letter and seeing a name printed on the front.
"Thank you." He said with a pained sigh. Dana tried to hold back tears she knew that there was no way he would make it past the night, and thought killed her inside.
"It's so cold." Tom said. Dana covered him as best she could and took his hand in hers. She tried to distract him from the pain, talking to him about all the beautiful places she wanted to visit.
"I don't feel anything anymore…that's not good is it?" he asked her his voice dry and hallow.
"It's going ok." Dana said holding his hand tightly. The next morning Dana woke up and Tom was no longer breathing his hand ice cold in hers. She broke down and cried letting all her emotions out.
