Summary- Told from the views of the Atlantis team as children, we uncover hidden pasts.
John laid in bed for hours. He just couldn't sleep, well how are you supposed to when you know that when morning comes you get showered with gifts? Close your eyes at least, come on John if you sleep it'll get here quicker. He shut his eyes for all of five seconds before his alarm went off, 8.00. He burst down the hall towards his parents room, but missed his footing and found himself tumbling into darkness.
Don't make a sound, don't make a sound, don't make a sound. Teyla sat alone in a dark crack in the wall. Don't move, don't make a sound, don't ever get caught. The Wraith were taking everyone they saw. Long silent breaths, don't make a sound, never make a sound, don't make a sound. A writh walked past her hiding spot then paused. Don't move, don't breathe, don't look. She heard the wraith move on and opened her eyes to see her brother being dragged away by the wraith.
Rodney saw nothing special about Christmas. It was simply another reason to get upset, to be let down. He knew it was time to get up, but he liked his bed, almost as much as he liked his skates. How long can I lie here before they start to care? A long time, he thought. Jeannie's home so they'll forget I'm here, I could lie here all day... unless I climb out of my window again, go for a skate... I could be back before they knew I was gone. He decided he would so he wrapped his thick coat around him and opened the second story window and as he was about to throw his second foot outside, the door opened.
Market day, be a good boy Ronon, fetch me a basket of Tekhi seeds. You can get yourself something while you're there. Ronon walked down the lane, why did they have to live so far away from the city? His mother was ill at the moment so he did all of the little jobs she asked him to do. left right, right left. left left left, right right knee, ow! Stand up, walk it off, ignore the red on your leg. Keep on going forward to the market and find the tekhi seeds. Right...seeds seeds seeds...where are the- hey it's that girl from the next town...what is she doing in Sateda? Oh well, seeds- hey! She's stealing that! Catch her, but don't forget the tekhi beans!
Who's the idiot who invented tests? They're annoying, oh no... please do take more of my blood. I'll be fine, don't need it anyway. Honestly, i only banged my head a little bit! I'll be fine as soon as I get my presents.
Why him? Why couldn't it have been- don't think it. It's far to horrible. Never wish the Wraith on anybody, not your worst enemy. Have they gone yet? Can I come out? Can I go find the rest of my family?
Someone shouted...and I fell...it hurt something rotten...can't skate no more. I'm not going to look at it...I know it's hurt...I missed my skates, they're next to my head... I'll just wait here for someone to come...
I know she's here somewhere... I saw her. where is the little theif? I have to catch her quickly so I can get those seeds. The market will close soon, but I have to catch her! You can't just steal someone's livelyhood!
This is a finished peice, i just have to type it up, but first I need to see if it's worth it, so lemme know what you think so far.
