Mulder , Scully and Dod were setting up the trap to capture the Thing
that was killing. The night was extra dark, and it began to rain.
Scully stayed inside the building some twenty yards away, watching over
the monitor that displayed the details of the high-tech trap.
Scully: " Oh Mulder why do you have to get me into these things,"
Mulder was preparing the outside sensors, while Dod was keeping an
eye out for the Thing. Dod walked up to where Mulder was kneeling and
looked over his shoulder, he shown his flashlight on Mulder's back.
Dod: " Agent Mulder?, What are we to do when we see the thing?"
Mulder: "Ask if it likes twikies, I don't know I havent thought it
completeley out."
Scully was waiting nervously for Mulder's signal to fire up the
sensors. She walked over to the Window keeping an eye out from time to
time. She notice a faint light coming from just behind a fence. She
stared closer and made it out to be a piece of glass that caught the
light from somewhere. But it didn't stop there, she realized that it
was getting bigger. It took a shape. Scully couldn't gather herself,
she couldn't move. It was the Creature. What she saw next forced her
to regain control. It was the face of a skull, And the gleam she
noticed, were IT's cold eyes staring back at her. IT was covered with a
black substance, fluid like. The nearest thing would be a dark overcoat
made of oil. IT moved over to where Mulder and Dod were. IT floated
behind them. Scully began to bang on the window to get their attention.
Scully: "MULDER!"
But she had to strike the glass harder because it was three inches
thick.
Dod heard a small banging sound, he looked up towards the building
where Scully was, and it was her, banging on the window. She was
yelling and screaming pointing behind Dod and Mulder. Dod turned
around unsure, and he saw IT, standing tall, dark and nightmarish. Dod
tried to defend himself by throwing a punch but it was too late. The
creature grabbed him by the throat and swung him around like a doll,
tossing him some feet in distance backward. Mulder couldn't hear any
thing, he was too distracted with what to do once caputing the thing.
IT walked over to Mulder and stared down at him, IT was there for
Mulder. Scully struck the window as hard as she could, she wished she
had her gun, She looked around to see if she could find anything to
break the glass. She found a pipe with a jagged end and began a charge
at the window, but before she made contact with it she saw Dod flying
towards her. She stopped and wrapped her self up tight knowing Dod was
going to break the window and run into her. Dod barley made it that
far, he fell an inch before the window. Scully charged at the window
finally getting through. The pipe fell out of the window and next to
Dod narrowly missing him. Scully screamed out to Mulder.
Scully: "MULDER!"
Mulder was connecting the final wire to the last sensor, when he
heard a crash and Scully yelling out his name. Mulder looked up and
back and saw IT. Mulder fell back in a sitting position, he couldn't
breath.
Mulder: "OH SHHH…"
He had never imagined a creature so frightening. IT grabbed Mulder
by the shoulder raising him five feet off the ground placed IT's claw
hand over Mulder's head and began to drain the life medium out of him.
Mulder's eyes turned black, his heart began to beat slower. Mulder was
never before so close to death. His complexion became blue, his blood
turned to steam and was rising out of his body. The creature was
killing him in such a horrible manner. IT was reading all of Mulder's
thoughts. In essence living his life in seconds. Gaining knowledge
from him. That's how IT lived, IT gained knowledge from persons IT
chose to learn from. Scully had the luck not to have seen what was
happening to Mulder. After she yelled to Mulder she ran down the
hallway and made out of the building. Dod slowly regained
consciousness. He turned his head and saw a jagged edged pipe and inch
off his face. He jumped back, sat up, turned around and saw Mulder. He
gathered every bit of energy and pulled the pipe out of the ground ran
to where IT and Mulder were and struck IT with the pipe. Stabbing away
like a maniac. Front to back, left to right. Dod did everything
imaginable to strike down the creature. The creature saw in seconds
what Mulder saw in a lifetime. The creature had never experienced such
an exquisite form of knowledge, IT almost wished for more. The creature
came upon something IT had never felt. In all IT's ions of existence
multiplied by infinity, IT had come across one small thought Mulder had
just yesterday. The creature looked at Mulder as he had now expired and
IT wondered. How can it be possible? The creature felt a sharp pain in
IT's back and another, a continuance of sharp pains. IT turned around
and saw Dod striking away. IT flung and arm out and struck Dod pushing
him down into the dirt. Dod kept at it with the pipe, until IT dropped
Mulder's dead body and focused on Dod.
Scully ran down a number of halls. Kicking down every door she
encountered. She finally kicked down the last one and ran out around
the building and arrived to where everyone was. She saw the creature
bent over attacking someone, but couldn't see who. She looked at the
window she broke and saw that Dod and the pipe weren't there. She looked
all over but couldn't see Mulder. Again she wished she had her gun.
Dod was receiving the attack that could end it all. The creature tore
the flesh and muscle off Dod's chest, almost revealing his chest bone.
IT raised IT's claw hand to give the final blow when IT felt something,
a presence. IT turned around and saw Scully faintly hidden in the dark.
IT rushed over to her with a predator mentality. Dod was barely alive,
he felt himself dying. He was very sleepy and began to breath a little
slower. Scully saw the creature run out into the dark and saw who IT
was attacking, it was Dod. A guilty sigh of relief came over her, but
she worried even more because she couldn't see Mulder. She slowly crept
out of the dark and began towards Dod. When she felt something cold
over her. She looked up and there IT was, death.
Scully: * GASP*
IT grabbed her by the shoulder raising her five feet off the
ground. IT placed IT's claw over her head and began to learn. IT was
so intrigued with the knowledge IT gained tonight that IT was like a
little child tasting ice cream for the first time. Scully's eyes turned
black, her complexion turned blue, and her life was being drained just
like Mulder. The creature's learning experience came to an abrupt halt.
Could it be possible? Twice in one night? IT stopped and savored a
single thought similar to Mulder's. What was it that had stumped the
creature? For some reason beyond any comprehension earthly or
otherwise, the creature stopped. Scully was still alive, but barely.
The creature dropped her and stood alone in the dark gruesome night.
IT, for the first time felt something besides greed, greed for knowledge
no matter how IT got it, no matter how many lives IT took. IT didn't
know what to do, IT went over to Dod almost dead. IT began to
ruthlessly tear away at him like a piece of paper. With all IT's
hellish rage IT gave out a roar unlike anything imaginable, heard by
many, dismissed as thunder by all. IT began to fall apart. First, IT's
arms broke off, and IT's' legs could no longer support. IT fell to the
ground and began to suffer. IT was dying slower and more painful than
any of IT's victims in the past. IT disappeared, only IT's fluid like
cloak remained.
A small light appear from above IT. Then many others, so as night
turned to day. The light shown for miles, they each began to rise up
and out in all directions zipping around like fire flys. When it was
all over two remained. They seemed angelic in a way. They visited
Mulder and Scully, what was left of them. The first hovered over Scully
until it reached her head. Scully's eyes were lifeless, dark and ugly.
In a quick flash of the light orb, her eyes were of human color, her
complexion regained it's natural shade. She gave out a gasp, breathing
for the first time, again. She blinked and looked up and saw the light,
she didn't understand what had happened. She got up startled and
quickly looked around for the creature. She saw another light orb over
a small hill. She ran over to it and as she got to the top of the hill
she was thrown back by what she saw.
Scully: "Mulder….NO…"
She began to shake her head, she wasn't convinced it was him. She
ran down next to the body and realized it was. It was Mulder. She
knelt down next to him and began to sob, a tear rolled down her face and
softly landed onto Mulder's face. She couldn't hold him, there wasn't
much of anything to hold, just skin muscle and bones. Everything else
was drained from him. She placed her hand on his and put her head down.
The light was still over Mulder's head, it went over to Scully, but she
wasn't aware. It circled Scully and went back to him, it placed itself
on his head and disappeared. Scully began to cry uncontrollably.
Seconds felt like days.
Mulder's body began to take form, it rose up, filled with life
giving blood and air in the lungs. His complexion regained it's human
tone, his eyes were closed. Scully felt his hand rise up, it was warm,
she wiped her eyes and squeezed his hand. She didn't know what was
happening. She saw Mulder's body regain life. She leaned over and
kissed his head. She heard a faint moan come from him. She placed her
ear close to his mouth to listen for a breath.
And in a weak voice Mulder said, "Scully?, your hair smells great."
Scully gave out a relieving laugh and said, "It's Herbal Essences, with
chamomile and passion flower."
Mulder replied in a healthier voice, "Ooo the orgasmic shampoo?, Does it
work?."
Scully pulled him toward her and squeezed him tightly. Mulder squeezed
back.......
