A sequel to Far From Home, the ending I kind of left hanging!
Her legs flexed as she kicked her horse into a gallop along the farm track. The wind flowed through her now longer hair. The wind caught at the plain blue rugby top she was wearing. She slowed down when she caught sight of the figure waiting for her by the gate. Her horse bucked a bit as they approached but Anys sat firm on his back and calmed him down.
"Hey," she said to the figure, Samantha Carter climbed the fence and stroked the horse. Anys jumped off.
"Hey, long time no see." Carter said. "I bet your wondering why I'm here."
"A little bit," Anys replied, "it has been a year. Do you want to come in?"
"Of course, so this is where they sent you?" Carter asked as they walked back down the track towards the small cabin style house. "You're lucky." Anys looked at her. Anys led them into the stalls behind her house and handed Carter a brush.
"So what's up major? Haven't seen anyone from the SGC since they shipped me out to hospital." Anys said proceeding to brush down her horse.
"He's beautiful." Major Carter replied mimicking her actions and brushing down the horse. "What's he called?"
"Brogan, it means strong one. It was the name of the man I was to marry." Anys hung the brush up and picked up a hoof pick off the wall, running her hands down his leg he lifted his hoof for her. Carter stood watching the connection she had with her horse.
"You were to be married?" She asked curiously.
"Was, I was taken two weeks before the marriage. Our marriage would link our two tribes. It was the best marriage my father could hope for." She paused, "this probably all sounds strange to you."
"Not at all, it's fascinating. Daniel said your father was the leader, does that make you a princess?" Anys laughed and patted the horse again as he put down the last of his feet.
"Daniel told you that huh?" She walked around and grabbed Brogan's head collar and took it off. Brogan backed away and started tucking into his hay. "Come on inside." she finished leading Sam out of the stall and up the steps onto the porch. Faolon let out a small noise when he saw Sam and stood up to greet her.
"Hey boy!" Sam gave him a pat on the head and followed Anys into her home. Sam looked around the inside of the small one roomed cabin with a bed in the corner and a kitchen on one side of the wall, a counter separating it from the living area. Thick rugs covered the dark wooden floor and a fire burnt in the small wood burning stove in the kitchen. Anys went and put the kettle on the stove, lighting the gas with a match from the box on the counter, blowing it out she threw the match in the fire. She pulled two tin mugs from the cupboard,
"Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" Anys asked, "I've come to learn that you American's don't like tea very much but I can't promise the coffee will be up to scratch!" She laughed as Sam smiled at her.
"Coffee would be good for me please, can't stand tea!" She smiled, as Anys started making the drinks.
"So why are you here Major?" Anys asked calmly turning to face Sam, smiling slightly.
"General Hammond wants you." Sam said simply. Anys looked at her mouth agape.
"What?" She stared at Sam ignoring the whistle of the boiling kettle.
"At the SGC, it's been made aware that you would have knowledge of the Gao'uld that would be invaluable to the SGC. General Hammond wants you to be an active member of an SG team." Sam replied as Anys shook herself and taking the kettle poured the water into the two mugs.
"Which SG team?" Anys asked slyly.
"Colonel Thorpe is retiring from active duty and SG-7 need someone to fill his place. You'd still be a civillian of course, you'd just be active on the team in much the same way as Daniel is." Sam replied taking the mug that Anys handed her.
"Ok?" Anys replied with a small smile.
