OASIS - PART 7
John turned away from the door quickly spotting the bouncing lights of his teams flashlights in the velvety darkness as they ran ahead of him. He hastily turned his own light on and scrambled to join them as fast as he could.
"Are you crazy? What were you thinking?" Rodney scolded when the Colonel finally joined them, jamming the diary into his pants pocket.
They were following Ronon's light as it lead them in a straight line. "I guess I'm just a sucker for a good book," he quipped as he tried to maintain his breathing.
"Did you see the creatures, Colonel?" Teyla asked without turning around.
"Um...I saw parts of one, does that count?" John answered breathlessly as he brought up the rear.
Ronon's light stopped suddenly and Rodney rammed hard into the back of him, almost tripping over his own feet. "What the hell Ronon?" he yelled.
"Ronon?" John asked warningly as he and Teyla came to a stop behind a doubled over Rodney.
"Quiet!" he hushed them. Ronon seemed to be listening to something, although the others could hear nothing yet. Teyla and John exchanged glances over the flashlights.
John spoke quickly. "Ronon, we have to keep moving. Those things are behind us and something tells me they're not gonna have any problems catching up with us."
Ronon put his hand up, still silent. Then he said, "Close your eyes and listen."
"Close my eyes? Its dark enough as it is, you-"
"Just do it Rodney!" John yelled.
Their eyes closed, they concentrated listening hard in the night. No wind, no anything, except their slightly heaved breaths.
Suddenly a far off sound reached their ears. A soft rumbling, like distant thunder, of hundreds, possibly thousands of snarls and screeches ahead of them.
"They are ahead of us," Teyla said realizing.
"Crap! Allright, we need to figure a way to go around them then I guess," John said frustratedly.
"We don't even know where we're going! We can't SEE anything! This is a bad plan, Colonel. A very, very bad...Hey, whats that? Who just touched me? Something just brushed past my leg!"
The others swung their lights around wildly until Teyla's light caught a quick dark shadow fly by her left. "John!" she yelled. "It's here!" They all swung their lights in the direction of hers.
To their horror, Rodney let out a bloodcurtling scream.
Turning rapidly, they saw him hit the sand hard, face first, and then he was instantly being dragged away by his feet, screaming a chilling cry into the night. His arms extended towards them trying desperatley to grasp at the sand, his assailant unseen in the shadow. Colonel Sheppard, Teyla, and Ronon positioned their weapons and started shooting blindly into the dark as they chased after his flailing body.
