Retrieval- Ch. 8Retrieval By zealousgirl Rating: PG-13, general ************* CHAPTER 8 Lost On the 4th day on this planet, T'pol rose early. She had not slept well, attributing this to the shock for finding Koss in such a state yesterday. She had heard of Vulcans seeking out the Scaniran to help them access their emotions. But for Koss to have done this was out of character. His parents blamed her, as explicitly stated in their message. It was therefore her responsibility to correct the situation. T'pol had also had a very disturbing dream. Trip was missing and she was searching for him. She could hear his screams in an adjacent room but could not find access to this room. In the darkness, she had sat up for several minutes staring at Trip while he slept, trying to convince herself that that had only been a nightmare. She sneaked out before Trip woke up. He would only complicate the meeting with Koss. He had become quite volatile once he realized why they were here. T'pol was concerned that Koss would misinterpret Trip's presence, and could possibly harm him, especially since he was no longer in complete control. **************** When the door clicked shut, Trip was startled out of his dream, which paralleled the dream that T'pol had experienced. Diaphoretic, he sat up, and looked around, suspecting that T'pol had already left to meet Koss, without him. Annoyed, he jumped out of bed, pulled on his clothes and ran out of the room in search of her. He stepped out on the street, and looked in all directions. He saw her turning the corner on the right and going behind a building. He pursued her. He entered the alley behind the building, but T'pol was no where to be seen. Suddenly he heard a snap behind him, like someone stepping on a twig, and then felt a hand being place between his neck and shoulder. Before he could spin around, he suddenly felt cold; the weight of his body became unbearable and darkness encompassed him. ******************* Have a comment to make about this story?
