Chapter Four (Taken)
"C-Centipede?!" Ward stammered in complete disbelief. "Why does it have to be them?!"
"Fitz," Coulson began, looking to the engineer. "Are you completely sure that is what it says?" he asked.
"Sir, that's what the program traced the message back to. It comes from a high-tech Centipede server." Fitz explained to the senior agent. "In other words, yes I'm positive."
"Damn." Coulson spat. "Does it happen to say the location of the server?" he asked.
"Unfortunately, no."
Simmons looked to Coulson, "Why would they want Skye?" she asked. "They don't seem like they could be her original pursuers."
"I really don't know." Coulson replied. "Centipede probably isn't the original pursuers, but they probably want her for the very same reason."
"And that's her 084 status?" Ward asked.
"Most likely. Again, we don't know why she was given that classification." the senior agent sighed.
"Is the Clairvoyant involved?" Simmons asked.
"Possibly. That's probably how they found Skye. We have to be careful approaching this. There's no telling what kind of firepower they have behind this." Coulson stated.
"How do we track her down?" Ward asked. "How do we find her?"
"Unfortunately, she is no longer wearing the tracking bracelet." May stated. "But hopefully she hasn't gone very far, or has been captured yet. We probably can still find her."
"But still," Coulson added. "We'll need to check all Centipede communications and other various things to see if they have captured her."
Skye approached an abandoned cabin, hoping that no one was around. She needed some rest desperately.
She cracked open the door ever so carefully. Sighing, seeing that no one was there, she went inside and plopped down onto the lone dusty couch, sending dust spiraling into the air.
It had been three days since she had left the team behind. She was tired of running, she wanted to stop. But she couldn't stop. She probably could stay here for long. She would have to leave very soon. There was only time for a quick rest.
About thirty minutes had passed when a massive thud from nowhere woke her from a somewhat quiet and peaceful sleep. Her eyes jolted open and she scanned the room, trying to find the source of the sound. Hopefully, just hopefully, it was just a small animal scampering about. But she didn't think so at all.
The thud sounded again, but it was much louder this time. Skye jumped up from the couch in fright, sending even more dust flying into the musty, damp air of the cabin.
Anxiety filled her stomach. She didn't want to know what was causing the massive sound. She became frozen with complete and utter fear.
Another thud sounded, rocking the room this time. Her whole world went pitch black, spiraling into nothing. Darkness overcame her.
Author's Note: I don't own AoS, Marvel does. The team questions the Centipede backtrace. Skye finds a seemingly harmless cabin, but something has happened to her. I know this was a short chapter, but these chapters are coming from a notebook and are a lot longer in them. Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return in a chapter. Keep reading and please, please, please review! ~AwakeAndAliveSpartan.
