Hey guys, when I decided to start writing again I stumbled across this old story I wrote back in college. I can't say it's one of my favorites but I figured what the heck, I wrote it, midas well put it out there for people to read. Like most writers I live off my reviews, love it, hate it, let me know. I'm always looking to hear what people have to say. I will be typing this up in my spare time. I do not have a beta reader and don't pretend to be the world's best speller, grammar queen, or any other title you'd like toss out there. Oh yea, sorry for the crazy cheesy title! Couldn't come up with anything, may change it if a good one comes to me!

Cold. She was very cold. Cold enough to have her mind rush back to the artic. Sam's eyes snapped open, her mind still seeing the icy whiteness around her, blinking the white slowly melted away into brown and the fear of their current situation sank in. A quick glance told her Daniel was still propped up next to her, safely above the water.
Looking around Sam saw the water was once again receding. Thank god she wouldn't have to spend the night half submerged in the icy water. The day had started off so well, she and Daniel had been requested by the Tok'ra to help figure out what they had found in some old ruins. The two Tok'ra that showed up to make the request said that Selmac has suggested 'fresh eyes' may help. It had been quite amusing watching Daniel trying to explain that Tau'ri eyes weren't any fresher than those of the Tok'ra, that it was just a Tau'ri expression. In the end Hammond agreed sending all of SG-1 to assist their allies. Once they got to the planet Sam was pleasantly surprised to find her father among the welcome party on Voja.
It had been a day and a half walk to where they had a base camp set up but the walk had been pleasant, giving her a chance to catch up with her father. They started work as soon as they made it to the site, it only took Sam and Daniel two days to find the power source and get the small control room powered up. Once they did three major energy spikes became obvious several miles away from their current location, making a triangle around them, the control room falling absolute center. They broke into teams to check them out; Daniel, Sam, and Jacob heading south.
The weather was truly beautiful on Voja, it boasted temps in the low 90's with a steady gently breeze keeping the days bearable. Sam and Daniel were talking about why they believed the wind never stopped when the ground literally dropped from beneath them sending them tumbling into a seventy foot hole.
Sam didn't know how long she was out but she woke up in agonizing pain with her father yelling at her. Breathing was painful and difficult and she couldn't make out her father's words past the deafening sound of blood pounding in her ears.
Focus, she had to focus. What was he saying?
"Pick up the healing device!"
Sam fought the urge to let the darkness take her once more, forcing her eyes open she saw her father crouched at the lip of the hole, a green vine extended from his hand down next to her head.
"Sam listen to me!" Jacob was yelling again. "You have to wake up!"
Sam tried to respond but could not pull enough air into her lungs to call back, her efforts to do so simply caused a painful coughing fit. Sam reached to her chest where the pain was the worst and was horrified to find a branch extending from the bottom of her rib cage. God no wonder she hurt.
"Sam!" Jacob called out, relived to see she was awake. "Honey I know it hurts but you need to get the healing device next you. You need to remove that branch and heal yourself."
Sam heard the words but couldn't imagine trying to do that herself. Shaking her head no she heard her father yelling again.
"Sam you have to. You'll die if you don't." Sam once again shook her head no. "Daniel needs your help Sam!"
