Trip to the Psychiatrist by Cosmikgirlie cosmikgirlie@yahoo.co.uk Part 2 See part 0 for header information. and before Scully's own eyes transformed into a middle-aged woman. Scully's eyes widened in total horror as she stared at the person standing in front of her. "Yes, its me, Scully. Or should I call you Dana?" The cold voice of the woman penetrated through Scully's body like ice. Scully stood still, frozen to the spot, questions whirring around her mind. How could she have been so stupid? Not realising that was not Mulder! Or that the psychiatrist was an alien! She remembered the deep, blue, freaky eyes and almost kicked herself. Oh Mulder, where are you! she thought helplessly. ** The woman stared at Scully not once blinking her massive eyes. "This is just too easy," she said," you just walked right into my hands Agent Scully." Her long thin fingers delved into her pocket and retrieved a crumpled piece of paper. It was a picture of Scully. "Mulder tried to warn you about what was happening but you just wouldn't listen would you?" Scully pursed her dry lips and forced herself to look at the picture. Oh why didn't she listen to Mulder. She flinched with pain. The thought of Mulder hurt her more than anything that the psychiatrist would say. "Oh, have I struck a soft spot?" said the woman, sarcastically. "I don't know what you see in him. He is an absolute loser." Suddenly Scully couldn't take this any more. She threw herself at the psychiatrist and dug her nails into her neck. The woman shrieked and forced Scully to the ground. But Scully would not give up. Insulting her was one thing but once Mulder was mentioned it became personal. Scully kicked out her leg with sudden force that startled the woman and made her bend down over her bruised knee. With a last stroke of energy Scully pulled her self up and..Smack! Her fists came tumbling down on the woman's neck. She fell to the ground moaning with agony and soon was silent. Scully stood over her, out of breath. She smiled triumphantly. Suddenly she felt a cold finger on her shoulder. She turned round quickly to come face to face with Simon. ** "Simon!" Scully breathed. Simon stood close fixing an uncomfortable glare on her. He glanced at the psychiatrist and turned his cold eyes back to Scully. "Oh..Scully.Scully" he said patronisingly. "What have you done?" "What are you doing here Simon?" she asked pointedly. "I've come to invite you. To invite you to come to the best place in the universe." Scully stared at him. "You see, I have chosen you, Scully. Out of everyone I chose you." "What do you mean? Invite me where?" Scully asked. "To my world." Scully couldn't believe his words. His world? Oh my god was he an alien too? Scully stood strong and took a deep breath. "And what if I don't want to come?" Simon sighed. "I thought this might happen..so I took precautions." He clicked his fingers and at once two small men marched out of a side entrance. Scully took a step back, expecting them to hurt her in some way. But instead they walked up to the back of the room and pulled back a massive screen. Scully's eyes widened in horror. Behind the screen was a glass wall revealing a small room. Inside the room was a man sitting with his head in his hands. A sickening feeling started to grow at the pit of Scully's stomach. "We have enclosed the thing in your life that is most precious to you and we will, if we have to, use it in order to persuade you to do as I ask." At the second click of Simon's hands, the men scuttled over to the side of the wall and switched on what looked like a microphone. "Can you hear me? Wake up you stupid man!" shouted Simon. The man looked up suddenly, his rugged complexion making him almost unrecognisable. But Scully knew straight away who it was and tears filled her eyes. "Mulder!" she whimpered. "SILENCE!" snapped Simon. But he soon softened his tone and said "Scully, it's a simple operation. You come with us and your friend doesn't get hurt. Simple as that." "Don't do it Scully!" shouted Mulder pleadingly. Scully felt like she couldn't stand up. Tears were rolling down her face; just seeing Mulder locked up like that hurt her so much inside. She knew she couldn't bear to see Mulder hurt but was she going to give up her life to an alien to make sure Mulder stayed alive? Scully looked around her. She felt she was in a dream and at any moment she would wake up. Simon fixed cold eyes on her waiting for an answer. But how could she make such a choice? Her life or Mulder's life. It was as simple as that. "Scully! Just run! Get out of here while you can!" Mulder's voice rung through her ears but she wasn't listening. Why couldn't things be easier? Why was her life so abnormal? But she knew the answer straight away. It was the X Files. She made a decision to work like this but she never knew things could be as bad as this. And whatever happened Scully would never regret joining the X Files, even if it meant she had to lose her life. Because she had found the only one person who would make her happy. Her soul mate. She turned round and looked at Mulder. His pleading face looked tired and scared. His eyes were dark. His mouth dry. "Mulder!" she called out to him. "Scully, Scully don't cry." he said gently. But it was too late. Tears were already rolling down Scully's cheeks. A hard, cold voice said "If you still refuse to give me an answer I will have no choice but to kill both of you. I can take anyone I like, you know." Scully didn't care. All she wanted was to be in Mulder's arms. "Bring him out" said Simon. At once the men opened the chamber and dragged a limp Mulder into the room. Scully ran, tears blurring her vision, to him. She fell into his arms and Mulder held her tight crying into her shoulder. "I love you" he whispered. "I love you too" she replied. Then suddenly they heard a shot behind them. They knew their time was up but they didn't care because they were in each other's arms. And that's all they wanted. As their bodies fell and blackness filled their minds their last thought was of sheer happiness. And that made them live on forever. ***************THEEND******************* ### The End ###
