In my head, this takes place within the first 3 months aboard the Odyssey in the series finale but it could really fit anywhere.


Disclaimer: I don't own Stargate SG-1. Believe me, if I did, there would have been a lot more leather costumes. ;)


Spoiler Warning: Minor one for S10 E20 Unending.


Running

Run, run, run! Faster, go faster!

Vala's thoughts were in perfect sync with her feet as they pounded on the steel beneath her and she used them to push her even harder, further, faster. Perhaps this time she could outrun the voices and the memories. Maybe she could finally rid herself of these daemons. She barely paid any mind to where she was going but there was little need to do so. It wasn't as though she could get lost, not when she was trapped on this bloody ship. It was too big, too quiet, too haunting. And she'd been here too long, a lifetime.

Run, just keep running!

And she did. She ran until her lungs were burning and her legs felt like jelly. She ran until she was too exhausted to think. Sliding down the wall, she concentrated on evening out her breath in a well-practised rhythm. She'd always been a runner, always trying to find an escape. She'd been damn good at it, too. But now...now she had nowhere to run to.

The End
