Author's Note- I'm thinking that this Chapter should have a rating at a little bit above T for violence, so it is rated T but the violence is a bit more intense, just as a warning.
His Fault
"Who are you?" One of the many Jaffa who were surrounding them asked.
"Well I'm Han Solo, this here is Leia and to be honest I'm not really sure who she is." Jack said indicating Sheyla.
Sam smirked, yeah Jack O'Neill was back.
The Jaffa who had spoken glanced at Sam and said "You are of the Tau'ri, Ba'al will be most pleased." The other Jaffa each grabbed one of them and started dragging them back to the woods.
Sam realized that because of the darkness, the Jaffa had not noticed the symbiote Kanan lying on the ground and without a host he would die. Sam sighed, as much as she was mad at him for kidnapping her, she had to admire his courage to come back to get the woman he loved.
The Jaffa dragged them back to the fortress and threw Shayla roughly in a cell and continued down the hall and put Jack and Sam both in the same cell. Sam was very much relieved, if they were to get punished for trying to rescue Shayla, she felt safer with him by her side.
Sam wondered briefly about what would keep them confined when the Jaffa pushed a button and they were slammed against the wall. The gravity in this room seemed to be changed she thought briefly. Sam though had other things to occupy her mind at the moment, like the awkward silence growing between her and the Colonel.
Jack spoke first "Carter I'm sorry, I had no idea he was going to do that. One minute I was talking to you and the next minute I was screaming in my head for him to stop." Jack said as he went to her side to inspect her. "You okay? Your not hurt right?"
"I'm fine sir and it's okay. I know you had no control over it."
Jack looked her in the eyes and nodded. He was relieved that she understood but that didn't take his guilt away from them being in this situation. It was his love for Sam that Kanan has seen, and had made him go back for Shayla. But there was no way he could tell her that.
A less awkward silence stretched before them and each of them were lost in their own thoughts when the Jaffa came back. Each Jaffa took one of them by the arm and dragged them off. To where they didn't know.
They were lead to a room where a man was waiting for them. He probably would have been considered handsome except for the evil vibe that he radiated.
"Ah so who do we have here?" The deep voice said. "A Tau'ri and a Tok'ra now what am I to do with you?" He walked purposely towards them, and evil smile on his face, his eyes trained on Sam. Jack's shoulders stiffened at the way he was looking at his second in command. "You're a very lovely woman I think you'll be the first I use to get the information I want." The Gould said fingering her short blonde locks of her hair.
"Oh I don't think so, I'll be the first." Jack said speaking up.
The Goa'uld ignored him and the Jaffa that was holding her arm brought her over to a piece of wall that looked much like a web. A button was pushed and just like as in the cell, though Sam was upright, it seemed as though she was laying on a floor.
"What is your name?"
"Major Samantha Carter." She said wondering why he would want to know that.
"And what is your purpose here?"
Sam remained silent.
"I am your God Ba'al you will answer me." He said as he picked up a six inch long knife from a table, Jack was getting angry now, if he so much hurt a hair on her head…
"I said what is your purpose here? Why was my slave with you?" Ba'al said irritated.
Sam again remained silent.
Ba'al walked closer to Sam, held up the knife and let it go. The knife hit her in the stomach and her scream pierced the room. Jack's blood ran cold. Ba'al repeatedly asked the same questions again, Sam remained silent, and again knifes pierced her flesh. Finally her head turned to the side and she died.
Jack's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was filled with rage. "You son of a…" He said breaking away from the Jaffa and taking a lug at Ba'al. The Jaffa quickly restrained him. "I'll make you pay for this!" Jack whispered, pure hatred evident in his voice, as he struggled against the Jaffa.
"Take her to the sarcophagus." Ba'al said to the other Jaffa.
Ba'al smiled evilly at Jack. "You care for that female. Unless I get what I want you, she will get tortured again and again and revived and you will be forced to watch." Ba'al slowly walked over to Jack and whispered "Why should I harm you when I can more greatly torture you by hurting her." Ba'al chuckled and the Jaffa dragged him back to his cell.
Jack slid down the wall and sat down on the floor, his head in his hands. Jack wanted to puke, or pretend that this had never happened. Sam was dead…for the moment. And she'd keep getting killed till Ba'al got what he wanted.
"Hi Jack." A voice called out to him and Jack looked up to find his dead friend apparently alive and well.
"Daniel." Jack said not really that surprised to see him here. "You know what they did?"
"Yes Jack that's why I'm here."
"You going to get her out of here?" Jack asked skeptically.
"No I can't do that." Daniel said sadly.
"I watched her get tortured Daniel, I watched her DIE. And He'll keep doing that, I need you to stop it!" Jack said getting up angry at his friend. "I don't care about myself just get her out of here please." He begged. "I just saw the woman I love being tortured like that and it's my fault. If I hadn't loved her Kanan wouldn't have come back and that wouldn't have happened to her." Jack said angrily.
"I know Jack but I just can't"
"Can't or Won't?!" Jack said fire in his eyes.
"Jack I need you to make her hold on, they realize your missing now. It's going to be hard to watch but she needs to hold on." Daniel said.
"Daniel I swear to God…" Jack started to say but the guards were back with Sam.
His heart was stuck in his throat. Here she was alive and well again, but only for her to get tortured again…because of him. The guards put her back in the cell and then left. Jack just stared at her for a few moments. And then he grabbed her to him and hugged her for all he was worth. Tears were in his eyes but he held them at bay.
"Sir can I sit for a moment?" Sam whispered.
"Sure and cut the sir Sam." Sam nodded and Jack sat down on the ground and Sam sat next to him. Sam leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Jack slowly lifted his hand and ran his finger through her hair, and down her cheek to convince himself that she was real and whole. Sam didn't mind. She needed to make sure she was real too and the feelings that he was causing in her only served to prove that fact.
Jack was relieved that she was well again, but knew that every time she went into the Sarcophagus she would lose a little bit of herself at the same time. And he knew he'd lose a little bit of himself every time he was forced to watch her die.
