DISCLAIMER: Nobody is mine except Aurora. That's my girl!
Just Bloody Wonderful!
She raced through the woods, dodging trees, rocks, and the occasional animal. She was panting hard now, but she had been running for several hours. She didn't think her pursuers were close, but decided not to chance it and veered away from the river that she had been following. It was a good thing that she had learned these woods so well or she would have been lost house ago. As it was, she only barely figured out that in about 100 yards and just around the side of this hill was the stargate. If she could just reach the gate, she would be home free. She felt her side twinge in pain just as she rounded the corner and….
Why was everything so dark all of a sudden? How did she end up on her back here? For that matter- where was here? Realizing her eyes were closed which explained the darkness, she opened them and looked around. She was no longer outside, but inside a large room with walls the color of stone. She was laying on some kind of bed that was white, hard, and uncomfortable. She started to sit up, but a sudden explosion of pain in her head forced her to stay laying down. Reaching up, she felt a nasty bump on her head. Whatever had taken her out must have been pretty tough, she should have healed up from the wound by now.
"Hello?" she called, figuring it couldn't hurt. Hopefully whomever had brought her here was friendly. She didn't have to wait long- the door opened and entered a small, dark haired woman and a tall, dark haired man with round glasses on his face.
"Hi. Don't worry, we wont hurt you. My name is Dr. Janet Frasier." The woman said, approaching the bed slowly. "Can you understand what I am saying?"
"Yes, I can. Where am I?" she asked.
"You're on a planet called Earth." The man said. " I am Daniel Jackson. I'm kind of the reason you are here."
"Oh? How so?" she asked.
"I was what you ran into. When we fell, you hit your head on a rock. We didn't have time to find help, so we brought you back here." He said, pushing his glasses up higher on his nose.
"Thank you. Um, my name is Aurora Isabella." She said and her hosts smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Aurora." Janet said. " Aurora, would it be okay if I checked you out, just to make sure that you are okay from your injury."
"I will heal just fine, but if it would make you feel better, that is fine." Aurora said with a shrug. Looking around, she asked, "How long have I been here?"
"A couple of hours." Daniel answered as Janet began to check Aurora's vitals. She looked at the head wound, checked her pulse, then pulled out her penlight. She shined it in Aurora's eyes and Aurora jumped back.
"Sorry, you must be light sensitive."
"Very. In fact, I had some eyewear on before. They were specially darkened glasses that helped protect my eyes from the sun."
"Oh, they must have fallen off when we collided." Daniel said. "But, we have lots of glasses here on Earth like that. They are actually called 'sunglasses' and we can get you another pair."
"Sunglasses? The name fits well. Thank you, that would be great."
"Not a problem." They looked up as a nurse came in and handed a file to Janet, who looked it over briefly and nodded.
"Aurora, Daniel and I are going to leave and let you get some rest, okay? We will be back in a few minutes."
"Is there something wrong?"
"Well…It seems that your blood work came back a little different that what I expected. It seems that you aren't completely human."
"I know that. I am half human."
"Half human?"
" Yes, my mother was human and my father was Nasvartue." She explained.
"Nasvartue?" Janet asked, looking at Daniel, who shrugged. "Okay, well, get some rest and we'll see you in a little while."
"I haven't heard of the Nasvartue." Daniel said when they were in the hall.
"Well, I am going to run these tests again and double check everything. The General wants a meeting in an hour about our friend in there. I guess I will see you there." Janet said and Daniel left to do some research.
"We haven't encountered any DNA like this before. It is a completely new species to us. It is close to human, but it isn't. The blood cells die much faster than a human's." Janet said when she, Jack, Sam, Teal'c, and General Hammond sat in the briefing room. Daniel was still doing research and was late for the meeting. "But, the wound she sustained is healing three times faster than normal, also."
"Could she have a Goauld?" Sam asked.
"I check, she doesn't have a symbiote, nor any signs of ever having one."
"Well, maybe we should—"
"I found it!" Daniel said, suddenly bursting into the room. "Nasvartue is a derivative of 'Nosvarutue.'"
"And what does that mean?" Jack asked.
"Actually, it doesn't have a set meaning, or at least nothing we know of. The word appeared out of nowhere somewhere around the 17th century and has no basis in any language on Earth, past or present, but it does have a vernacular meaning."
"Which would be what, Doctor Jackson?" General Hammond asked, prodding the younger man to get to the point.
"Well, the word was used to describe a certain type of people that we now call 'Vampires'."
