Sam looked around until her eyes fell on Daniel. He was on a slightly elevated flat stone. She could see his head was bleeding freely and the arm hanging over the side was broken, a large amount of bone was protruding from the skin. Her father was right, Daniel needed help and fast.

Carefully Sam retrieved the device from beside her, removing the attached vine. Every movement was painful. Once she had the device free and securely on her hand she reached down and grabbed the branch, jarring it only slightly. The pain was horrible, black dots filled her vision; her father's yelling was the only thing keeping her grounded. She couldn't do it. Even if she could remove the branch she would pass out, from what she could tell the branch entered just below her ribs and extended up through her lungs. If she got it out and passed out she would surely die.

Again she looked over at Daniel, at the blood slowly dripping from the exposed bone into the water below. He would bleed to death if she didn't do something, she couldn't lose him again. Grasping the branch she quickly and carelessly ripped it from her body. She could hear the hiss and gurgle of blood and air as her vision went black. She didn't know how she managed to activate the healing device let alone guide it to the correct location but her breathing soon became easier. When the device shut off on its own Sam lay panting trying to catch her breath as many other aches and pains began to make themselves known.

"Samantha Carter you better damn well open your eyes and answer me!"

Sam opened her eyes and looked up at her father, not trusting her voice just yet.

"Thank God! I thought…" Jacob choked back what sounded very much like a sob. "Sam I'm going to have to go back to the gate to get help."

"What?" Sam coughed, her throat was raw. "Why?"

"We don't have any climbing gear at the camp, we don't even have anything we can rig up to get you two out of there."

"What about these vines?"

"I had to braid three together just to hold the weight of the healing device. No way they'll hold Daniel's weight. And the sides don't look climbable from up here." Jacob shielded his eyes from the sun trying to see better into the hole.

Sam looked at the nearly vertical walls around her. "No defiantly not worth the chance. Lower your zat just in case then go. We'll be fine."

As the fine rope climbed the walls Sam placed her hands on the ground, intending on sitting up, and realized for the first time she was laying in about three inches of water. Freezing cold water. Sitting up and looking around she saw the entire pit floor was submerged, with the exception of Daniel's small plateau. He was lucky to land there, being face down anywhere else he would have drowned. Hell she was lucky too, if she had landed any other way…

"Here it comes Sam!" Jacob shouted as he lowered the weapon. "I'm not happy leaving you two here."

"Relax, I'll heal Daniel up and we'll be fine. Bored, but fine." Sam reached for the weapon and untied it. "Just don't be long, we're sitting ducks down here."

With a nod Jacob was gone. A chill racked Sam's body, reminding her she still had plenty of injuries of her own, including cracked ribs, but Daniel needed to be treated first. The human body can not survive losing more than a liter of blood. She had no idea how long she was out to even be able to guess at an amount of blood loss. Not even bothering to try and stand Sam crawled over to Daniel, becoming alarming dizzy she had to stop twice before reaching him. He was pretty beat up, but the head wound and arm seemed to be the worst. Quickly Sam straightened his arm causing the bone to slip back under the skin. She cringed; this was not the proper way to treat an exposed fracture. Once the bone was again inside his skin Sam reached in the hole while still pulling and twisting on his wrist until she felt the two bones were correctly lined up. At least she hoped she was right. Placing Daniel's wrist between her thighs she kept her hand on the bones themselves while wiggling her free hand into the healing device. Praying for the best she activated it.

It was odd feeling the bone mend beneath her fingers, odder still when she began to feel the surrounding tissue begin to close around her fingers. Sam removed her hand from the wound and finished healing Daniels arm before moving up to his head, already feeling the device draining her. Once that wound was closed Sam moved down, she couldn't visually tell if there was any internal damage but as she passed the healing light across his chest and abdomen she could feel the device draining her again, a sure sign something was indeed wrong. Her vision started to gray but she refused to stop, she had to make sure Daniel was alright. Soon the draining sensation faded and Sam allowed herself to pass out, almost welcoming the darkness.

Sam awoke and to a rather odd sensation. Her arm and head were uncomfortably warm while the rest of her was freezing. Opening her eyes she found herself slight draped over Daniel, the sun beating down on them, but what was alarming was the water level had risen and was almost to the top of Daniels rock. Sam sat up, her joints stiff, and her ribs protesting, she still had the healing device wrapped around her hand. Worried that Daniel was still not away Sam began running the device across his body, there seemed to be nothing seriously wrong, cuts and bruises probably, except for his head. Sam spent a few minutes there before she shut it off, feeling there was nothing left to heal. Setting the healing device down Sam began to look around their prison. The wall farthest from then was at a fairly decent angle, a possible way out if the ground was solid enough for climbing.

First things first though. Sam thought as she pulled herself up to sit on the ledge by Daniel's feet. Leaning back she rested her head and upper back against the rock leaving plenty of room for Daniel's legs while allowing the sun to thaw out her frozen body. Water dripped onto Daniel's legs causing him to moan and stir a bit bringing a smile to Sam's face. If that was enough to get a reaction from him then he should be waking up soon.

Sam's ribs quickly began to protest the position she was in. Sighing Sam knew she shouldn't use the device again, to pass out and risk ending up in the water wasn't worth the pain relief. Instead she climbed to her feet, it was time to check out that wall. She hissed as she climbed back down into the freezing water. While the sun had come nowhere near drying her clothes it had warmed her up enough to make the water seem colder than before. At least it only came a few inches above her knees. As she moved Sam was careful to displace as little water as possible, she didn't want the waves she made to bring the water any higher up her legs then needed.

About half way to the sloping wall the bottom disappeared from under Sam. Not expecting the sudden loss of ground Sam was unable to stop her forward momentum and splashed head first into the water. The surprise along with the sudden extreme chill caused Sam to gasp. Unfortunately she was under water, despite her training she panicked. Her world was nothing but darkness, bubbles, and burning pain. She tried to swim, her arm smashed into something causing more pain. She couldn't find up! There was no light, no air, then there was nothing.
