Stargate SG-1
"Where's Sam?"
Chapter 1


The planet was light, but SG-1 was exhausted. It was 2400 hours on Earth, but the sun had only come up a mere hour before on the alien planet. It was a simple collect, explore, and leave mission. No big deal. No saving the world involved. A simple mission, no more than that. Sam went off to collect samples while Teal'c stayed near the stargate, and Jack went off to do a little exploring. Sam collected her soil sample and some plants. She stopped a second when she saw the opening to a dark cave. She walked toward the opening to investigate. She pulled out a flashlight out of her bag and turned it on. She touched her radio to report to Colonel O'Neill, but stopped when she felt a strange breeze come around her. She could see no one in the cave with her flashlight and no one behind her. She felt a sharp pain on her arm and then quickly colapsed. Sam Carter only heard the voice of a man she once loved before blacking out.

Jack soon returned to the stargate to find Teal'c waiting and no Sam. "Teal'c?"

"Yes, O'Neill?"

"Where's Sam?"

"She has not returned."

"She hasn't radioed either."

"No."

"Carter?" Colonel O'Neill turned his radio on so he could broadcast his message. "Major Carter report...Sam?"

"It is possible that Major Carter is in danger."

"Yeah, let's go find her," Jack said as he and Teal'c walked off in the direction they last saw Sam. They found her bag outside the entrance to a cave and her flashlight turned on only a few feet ahead inside the cave. "Where is she?"

"Can the radios not locate Major Carter?" Teal'c asked.

"Yeah, good idea," Jack took his radio out of his vest and turned it to a locating mode and it began to beep. He followed it to a nearby bush where they found Sam's radio.

"She has been taken."

"Yes, and whoever took her seem to know exactly what to do so we can't find her."

"Should we not report in to General Hammond?"

"Let's look around some more."

Teal'c and Jack O'Neill looked around the cave for three hours more, but could not find a trace of Carter. Finally they were forced to give up their search when Hammond radioed them via the MALP. They were ordered back.





"Samantha Carter, what am I going to do with you?" the man said to himself as he set Sam down on a mound of rags. It was dark and there was a light trickling sound. He sat down next to her light stroking her face. "Oh how I've missed you."

Sam stirred and then finally opened her eyes. It was dark and she couldn't see at all, it was pitch black. She could hear what sounded like water and knew there was someone there, she just couldn't see them. "Who's there?" she asked as she sat up. She felt a hand on her back and she tried to struggle, but couldn't stop whoever was there. Another hand was placed on her left shoulder and she was forced to lay back down. The person kept her like that, staying on top of her. She didn't move and whoever was on her didn't move either. There were noises outside and Sam was about to scream when a hand covered her face.

"Don't worry Sam, I'll protect you."

"Who...who are you?"

"You don't know yet, do you?"

"No."

"Come now, I have faith that you'll remember."

"No...it can't be."

"What can't be?"

"You're dead."

"Am I now?"

"Yes. You dialed Earth and didn't enter the IDC."

"Now did I really dial Earth?"

"What?"

"I didn't dial Earth, Sam."

"You lied?"

"For you."

"For me? What are you talking about?"

"I want you to believe in me Sam. I want, no I need you Sam."

"No. You have to let me go."

"Why so you can go running back to Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c? By the way where's Doctor Jackson?"

"He's dead."

"Well that's always nice. Now I see that not killing you all those years ago was a mistake. I see how you look at him, you know it's against regulations. I was watching you. I've been watching him. Colonel Jack O'Neill. Now you've got to admit that I would be a way better choice than him. He's worried that he's lost you. His major. Congradulations by the way. You know what I've missed Sam? I've been on this planet for four or five years now and I wonder if you know the one thing that I've missed in all that time of being alone?"

"What?"

"You. That's what I've missed. Especially saying my name and being close...just like right now with you." Sam pulled a little still trying to get away from him. "Say my name Sam."

"No."

"Sam," he said again as he pressed harder down on her shoulder.

"Stop. You're hurting me."

"Am I? Just do as I ask and I'll stop," the man remove his hand from her back and took her right hand. He played with her wrist until he heard it pull out of place and Sam moan in pain. "What do we say?"

"Stop. Please?"

"What's my name?" he started to reach for her elbow. As he did he heard voices, so he moved his hand from her elbow to her mouth. He knew who it was. Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, and two other SG teams. "Say it."

Sam started to cry when she felt her lungs started to feel like they were going to cave in with the man on top of her. "Jonas..."

"Very good."
