AN: Season 5, after Red Sky before Rite of Passage. I do not own Stargate.

Chapter 1

Running, that is the only option I have. No hiding, no fighting, and, most importantly, no dying. I am running as fast as I can, occasionally tripping on roots and thick vines jutting up from the forest floor. Every time I fell I would get right back up, no time to check for injuries or to dust myself off. I could not afford to stop. I listened to my feet pounding on the ground and the many others behind me. Again, I tripped on a root, not seeing it until it was too late.

"Blast!" I whispered, "Why does it have to be dark? I can hardly see!" I jumped up and started running again. A staff weapon blast struck the tree on my left, spraying me with wood chips. Ignoring it, I skidded past a large boulder and burst out of the forest into a ruin covered meadow that held my only way out. The Chappa'ai. I began to increase my speed, only to come to a complete stop a couple yards from the four people clad in green as I noticed them. I recognized them instantly as they pointed their strange black weapons at me.

"Great. Just what I need, the Tau'ri are here," I muttered. They were on guard and very wary, but also surprised. 'Must be my age…' I just scowled and grumbled at them. The male with circles of glass on his face, glasses I think they are called, opened his mouth to speak. But before he could, the Jaffa chasing me came rushing out of the forest all firing their staff weapons. The Tau'ri took cover, but before I could one of the blasts hit me in my lower back. I fell forward onto the ground. There seemed to be stunned silence for a moment, but the Tau'ri and Jaffa soon started firing at each other. All i could hear was muffled shouting as everything seemed to slow down. No matter how hard I tried, I could not keep my eyes open any longer, and everything soon faded to black.

All four members of SG-1 stood by the Stargate waiting for it to dial. Jack pulled off his baseball cap and ran his fingers through his hair as he turned to Sam.

"Carter! Explain to me again why we have to go to SG-10's planet P4- whats-it?" Jack grumbled at her.

She smiled slightly as she replied, "It's P4X-72C, sir. And, well, there are some ruins that SG-10 brought back pictures of that Daniel is really interested in."

"Whatever…" He grumbled, then paused as he fully realized what she said. "Wait, what?! We are going to just look at rocks?!"

"They aren't rocks Jack! They have an inscription of an old dialect of Goa'ulxd that talks about-" Daniel started to argue back before Jack cut him off.

"Ah, ah! Daniel! I don't wanna know," Jack replied. Daniel sighed before turning back around as the Stargate opened. They all walked up the ramp and through the gate as General Hammond said, "Good luck SG-1."

When they came through the gate, the sun was just starting to rise. They all stopped and Jack began to grumble, "It's so dark! Why didn't we send a MALP through first? It's too early!"

"Sorry, sir! The calculations must be off a bit. At least the sun is partly out," Sam stated.

"Well, at least there's that," Jack stated sarcastically. He sighed and was about to issue orders when Teal'c stopped him.

"O'Neill," Teal'c warned. They turned, bringing their weapons up, to see a girl skid to stop a little ways in front of them. She had blonde hair that went down to the middle of her back, pale skin, and emerald green eyes. She couldn't be more than a teenager they realized. She just scowled at them and grumbled something under her breath. Daniel opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, a multitude of Jaffa ran out of the forest firing like crazy. They all ducked behind the ruins for cover and looked up in time to see the girl get shot. A look of shock came over her face before she fell to the ground. SG-1 soon began to fire back at the Jaffa.

"Daniel, dial the gate! Tell Hammond we are coming in hot and have injured!" Jack yelled as he fired. Daniel turned and began dialing the gate while the others fought. Teal'c managed to pull the unconscious girl to safety and continued to fire. More Jaffa came from the forest as the gate activated.

"Move, move, move!" Jack yelled as Daniel sent the IDC and ran through the gate. Teal'c carefully picked up the girl and ran through while Jack and Sam continued to fire. But before Sam and Jack could get through, she was shot in the abdomen and she fell. Jack saw and tried to help but she pushed him away, pleading for him to leave her. The Jaffa got closer and closer, and soon he had no choice but to leave her behind.

"Close the iris!" Jack yelled as soon as he came through. He turned to see the iris close as he was filled with dread. She's gone, she's gone… Why?
