Freeze Frame
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A double drabble this time. Season 7 finale spoiler. n_n *hugs Jack*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I can barely see through the solid, frozen mist in front of me.
These last few days have been torture.
Torture, to not be able to understand half of what my friends say, to be doing things I don't even know how to, to not be in control of myself.
Frustration at the knowledge running ice cold through me like it had before, a part of me submerged under its power, guiding my hands, my voice.
The power tells me that chair is important. It is tantalisingly close, this freedom from my unwanted awareness.
And finally, the energy running through my body as the weapon fired.
I can only assume it worked; because the need for sleep was so strong suddenly, I could barely stagger.
And now I stand here, paralysed.
And I can see Teal'c, Daniel and her, through the mist.
I'm still here, I try to scream.
Don't leave me.
And I can see they have to, and she is holding tears back, but they will never fall.
She's too strong, too brave, too self-possesed.
But she's being led off by them now, and she's leaving me.
The war is won.
But I can't help feeling I've lost.
