Title - The Reoccurring Nightmare III - Cheating Fate Disclaimer - I do not own these characters, Fox does and I'm just borrowing them. Seriously. I am. :) Summary – The nightmare continues... "Scully you have to listen to me...He's not who you think he is anymore..." I have never felt so helpless in my life. It was like I was a prisoner in my own body. I was forced to sit and watch my nightmare come to life. "He's not the same...Sculleee." Krychek's final scream of my name might as well have been a stab in my heart. It was at that moment that I decided I wasn't going to be a victim. Why would I have that nightmare all throughout my pregnancy if I couldn't stop it from happening? I was going to fight back. "Scu-le, I'm he-re." I slowly walked through the kitchen and to the front door. I was ready. I opened the door the find Mulder standing there grinning and...I shot him. He bled green. It stung my eyes and the tears already welled up began to fall. I slammed the door and ran into the kitchen and collapsed on the table sobbing. I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up the birds outside were chirping, Christopher was sleeping peacefully, it was a beautiful day. It shouldn't have been. Not one of my neighbors called the cops to report a gunshot. When I opened my front door that morning there was no body on my front stoop. There wasn't even a trace of green blood. I wanted to think it was just a nightmare but I couldn't. I checked my clip; it was missing a bullet. I came to work that morning and told Walter everything. He vowed to protect Christopher and me from whatever they had turned Mulder into. We were married the next week. He adopted Christopher. Chris calls Walter daddy, he's never known it any other way. Two years later I had Magdalene. She's a wonderful little girl. So that's how I cheated fate. We're safe here in the mountains. Chris and Maggie love it. They go exploring through the woods all the time. My favorite room in the house is this living room. I love to sit by the fire and write in my journal. I have nothing to fear. Heavy raindrops have begun to fall on the windowpanes. Walter is in his office working, the children are sound asleep. There's a knock on the front door, Frohike said he'd stop by. The Gunmen live six miles from here. They bought the property the same time we did and are also preparing for colonization. Somehow we are going to fight it when it comes. I walk over to the mall hall as thunder booms overhead. The oak front door is ridiculously heavy and I have to yank it to get it open. Lightening flashes and in the brief light I see who is standing before me. "...oh god...WALTER!!!"
