Battlestar Galactica; Apollo/Sharon Pic Fic - "The Rest is Silence" Part 2
'Shocked' is an understatement.
When she returned
She was right to look apprehensive
I wanted to kill her ... again ...
Gods.
I know she's a machine.
But she looks so much like ...
It doesn't help that I saw real fear in her eyes
I tried to kill her again
Starbuck stopped me
To be honest
I'm still not sure I could have done it
Kobol was the turning point ...
Putting our lives into her hands
This strange girl with a friend's face
I had my reservations
She led the way as our guide
But I made sure I was always close behind
I remembering noting her reaction
She seemed troubled
We all heard the sound
But it was too late. Her cry sounded so real ...
During the fire fight
when I saw her run, my fury returned
I was so sure that my suspicions were correct
She was going to betray and kill us all
It was no surprise when she grabbed the gun
I had seen her going for it
Those dark eyes glaring up into mine
I had never seen such grim determination
She was strong, implacable, pushing me back
I had been certain that it was all over
I watched on in disbelief
Watched as she took aim
and fired.
At the Cylons
When she approached me
Her face was cold and defiant
She threw the gun down at her feet arrogantly
As if in challenge
What the frak does that expression mean?
After that, I watched her constantly ....
I couldn't take my eyes off her
I must have watched every gesture
Every moment of quiet stillness...
Every smile ...
Fascinated at the display of emotion ...
From a machine
Her face was so familiar
Yet I knew that she was not the Sharon I had known
Somehow this Sharon was tougher ... different ...
More full of self-assurance and determination
The old Sharon would never have dared to talk back
This one has a mouth on her
I confess
I started to find her fascinating
Her dark, dark eyes
The sweetness of her face
And the sadness
This Sharon has the saddest eyes I have ever seen
Unknown to anyone
I watched her
When she encountered my father
Her expression was unreadable
He inspected her silently
Again. Was that sadness in her eyes. A machine?
He moved like lightning ....
I didn't move as he pushed her to the ground
Choking her. Telling her he wanted her to die.
Voicing my own sentiments.
What did that chilling whisper mean?
Would I... could I have let him kill her I wonder?
Standing before the Tomb of Athena
I saw my nightmare repeated
Again. I stood by helplessly.
As I raised my gun, Meiers raised his.
She had betrayed us again
But then ...
The double-cross
I hesitated before shooting her
She held a gun to him again
But there was something in her eyes
She spoke of being Sharon. Of choices.
Of knowing who she was. Of decisions
Who knows what her true motives are? I don't.
But Sharon saves the day again. Some things don't change.
