Spoiler:
Teyla emerged in the hallway, peering carefully around each corner before she turned its corridor. She was anxious and exhausted from running. Ronon had her on edge picturing their entire expedition lying dead in all corners of Atlantis. After narrowly escaping three different sets of Wraith, she found herself running through a corridor in the East Wing, a place she had never ventured before. It was very dark and she was traveling at a great speed when she tripped hard over something and went flying through the air. As quickly as she could, she regained composure and turned back to see what she had fallen over.
Her eyes widened as she realized she had tripped over someone’s legs, someone who was lying flat on their back in the middle of the hallway. She dropped to her knees as she looked at the face of the person who lay there before her. It was Colonel Sheppard. He was lying there so still, Teyla was sure he was dead. She felt sick as she crawled over slowly to his motionless body, dragging her heavy hand to feel for some sign of life. She felt no life signs and began to gag on the rising spittle in her throat. Her chin was trembling and she sat there, staring at his restful face. Her mind felt fuzzy as she thought of everything they had been through together and all the time she thought they would have together. Desperate gasps of air clogged in her throat when suddenly, Colonel Sheppards body seemed to come to life as he began to sputter and cough, turning slowly onto his side, his eyes still closed. Teyla’s heart leapt with joy and she felt overwhelmed with emotion, as tears spilled from her eyes. “John? John?! Are you allright?” she asked her smile wide and true as he continued to cough.
When Colonel Sheppard felt a whoosh of air rush into his lungs, he started to cough and rolled over on his side, slowly catching his breath. He thought he heard Teyla’s voice over his incessant coughing, but his thoughts returned to him and he remembered that dirty Wraith draining her body and tossing it aside like a rag doll. His coughing started to subside and he heard Teyla again, she sounded like she was right there beside him. He opened his eyes quickly, for her voice sounded so real. He saw her sitting there, on her knees, her beautiful smile was bright and her eyes seemed to glow with joy.
John sat up immediately and reached out with his hand to make sure she was real. His touch surprised her and she fluttered briefly as his hand touched her face. Overcome with happiness, he grabbed her roughly and pulled her warm body close, burying his face in her hair, feverishly taking in her scent. Teyla was so happy that Colonel Sheppard was alive, his touch had surprised her, and before she knew it she was engulfed by his strong arms, his hands wrapped tightly around her sides. After a few moments like that, she began to realize the pure ecstasy his touch was having on her, and she slowly began to pull away, unsure of what to do. His eyes were glistening as their eyes met and she felt her heartbeat increase as she backed up slowly, looking deep in his face. “Teyla,” he said softly. “I thought you were dead.” Teyla smiled and looked down quickly. “And I thought the same of you, Colonel.” John stared at her hard. She had never looked as beautiful to him as she did at this moment, and he wanted everything he had ever held back from allowing himself to feel for her to pour out, but as she looked away, he lost his nerve.
He started to get up from the ground and lent a hand to help her up as well. “Teyla,” he started. “I saw you killed by a Wraith. We were in the woods and I-“. She interrupted him. “Colonel, I believe we are all witnessing things that are not real. I have seen Ronon and he seemed very disturbed, like he had been through some great trauma. I have been through much of the city and found no one else, till now. I feel as though we are somehow conscious yet we remain in our subconscious.” John pondered this, scratching his messy hair. “Ok, let’s say I buy that. What does that mean? We’re stuck in our nightmares? Hey you haven’t seen a guy with a black and red sweater and long metal claws for fingernails, have you?” he asked half joking. She looked at him confused and answered, “I have seen only Wraith.” He looked at her seriously and replied, “Close enough. C’mon, let’s go see if we can find anyone else.”
