AN: Thanks for the reviews, I know this is shorter but it needed to stop here to keep the suspense. Enjoy

Chapter 2

Samantha Carter had found herself in odd positions before but, she surmised to herself, very few as bizarre as this one. She was in the depths of a large pyramid, not a first but still rare. She had been tied to a stone slab, again not a first but even rarer and for some reason she had been dressed in a strange costume with odd looking people chanting all around her. So taken altogether quite a ridiculous situation.

There was a commotion at the other end of the room and the chanting got louder as a cloaked figure moved towards her. Sam strained to see better but the ties were so tight that she was seriously struggling. The figure got closer and reached the head of the slab. It stretched out it's arm and a cold finger of energy trailed down Sam's cheek, she tried not to shiver but her body betrayed her.

"Soon my love, you will not be afraid of me and will be together forever" The disembodied voice stated

"Unlikely but thanks for the offer" Sam snappily replied, oh dear Jack was really rubbing off on her.

"You can fight my dear but you will not be able to stop the implantation"

The chanting got louder, Sam wondered if she had missed the memo, and then there was another burst of activity. A canopic jar was brought to the offering table and Sam looked on in horror as one of Anubis' minions drew out the symbiote

"My Lord we must complete the ritual before implantation or the queen will not return as a powerful warrior" one minion stated.

That was definitely code for keep the chanting or I die, Sam thought. Well go the chanters!!! As Sam listened to the increased volume she reviewed what she knew.

So all of this is to give this weird Goa'uld back his mate, or queen. Sam decided right there that was never going to happen and if they would all just turn round for 30 seconds she would have her hands untied and be out of here. No sooner had she thought about it there was a piercing cry from the other end of the chamber. Sam turned her head, along with all the others in the room, to see a priest or monk had been turned to dust after burning to death.

While Sam would not wish that on anybody it did give her the opportunity she had looked for. She turned her wrists, untied the rope and jumped from the table. There was a stunned silence where there had been chanting as another priest went up in smoke. Sam ran through the first gap she could find and then through the first doorway.

It was like a maze she thought, where was Daniel when she needed him? Again the thought and then Daniel was round the next corner.

"Sam wow, you're here, great" he enthused

"Daniel where is here, it all looks the same?"

"I know. I will explain later, come on we need to find Jack and Teal'c"

Daniel proceeded to pull Sam back in the direction she had just fled.

"Daniel no that is where Anubis is, we need to find a way out" Sam pulled him back

"No we need to be here to help Jack, he is going to kill Anubis. It's a long story but come on" Daniel pulled her along.

AN: Please note, this is AU set in around season 7. Some things are different to our reality- more explanations later!
