"No!"
At that moment, I knew why he wouldn't leave me.
God. He'd…he'd die…for me? For something that couldn't be because of the regulations?
I lifted my hand and gently grazed the force shield; the blue energy crackled and hid half his face.
"Jack…" I whispered, trying to ignore the treacherous thundering of Jaffa stomping our way.
A tear slipped from my eye.
I couldn't pretend anymore.
The dread in his eyes increased, as I assume the sadness in mine did.
"I love you."
A sickening, single shot from a staff weapon rang out, and I felt a burning, deathly sensation torture my back with pain. I could practically feel my eyes popping out of their sockets, and I squeezed them shut as I fell.
I didn't want Jack to see my lifeless, crystal eyes.
