I was awake when a Jaffa entered. He brought food, sliding it in through an opening in the force field. It smelled halfway decent, and I was hungry. I slipped off the bed and got the food, sniffing as I brought it to the table. I took a bite. Not bad, for prison food. Kinda like oatmeal. I felt eyes on me. She was watching me. I glanced up, appraising. She was hungry. My eyes flicked back to the food. She probably hadn't eaten for far longer than me.

I put the food down, reaching for the water. She stood. I offered her the water. She just stared at it. I put it down, watching her. She was like a frightened rabbit. It made me feel… powerful. The noise throbbed quietly.

She drew close to me, sitting in my lap. I was surprised. She wouldn't take the water from my hand, but she'd sit on my lap to eat? She reached for the food, and I grabbed her wrist, stopping her. What did I look like, a chair?

She looked back at me in alarm. What? She expected me to just sit here? She squirmed then. I flushed, swallowing. Oh! Now I understood. This was a well-practiced trade. She squirmed again and the noise rose.

Keeping a firm hold on her wrist, I slid her off my lap and turned her to face me. She looked confused for a moment, and then slid back onto my lap, facing me. I shut my eyes, the noise throbbing.

Food. That's what she wanted. Just food. I leaned forward, my chest unintentionally brushing hers. I handed her the food, then wrapped my hands around her back to keep her steady as she ate. She kept glancing at me. After she had eaten about half, she looked down at me. She squirmed again, and I couldn't help the moan that escaped. She put the food down and wrapped her hands around the back of my neck, fingers playing with the edges of my short hair. She kissed me then, and pressed herself into me.

Mine.

She ended up feeding me the rest of the food. She was very… persuasive. I wiped my brow with the last drops of water. Looking over at her, I handed her the rag. She used it quickly and handed it back. I shrugged. Women.

"Jack?" Daniel called quietly.

"Daniel?" I responded. I was not in the mood to talk. I saw her watching me, confused.

"Daniel, did you figure out her name?"

"Uh, no. We really didn't… get that far."

I pointed to myself and said my name. She shook her head, and made a sign that looked like a baby. Huh? I shook my head.

"Daniel, why does she keep making the sign for baby?"

"I don't know, Jack. Maybe…"

"Never mind, Daniel, we'll figure it out."

I pointed towards Daniel and said his name. Then I pointed at her. Realization finally dawned. She pointed to herself.

"Mayva," she said quietly. I tried to smile. She pointed at the wall.

"Daniel?" she asked, voice lilting. She pointed at me.

"Jack?" she asked in disgust. My eyebrows rose at the tone, but I nodded. She shook her head.

"Lobo," she stated firmly, pointing at me. I raised my left eyebrow in confusion. Huh?

Daniel died laughing. I squinted hard at the wall, my glare of death rendered mute by the distance.

"Something funny, Danny-Boy?" I asked dryly.

"Wolf! She named you wolf." Daniel squeaked out between chuckles.

I grimaced. I guess I could live with that. It could have been worse. I looked over at her.

"Lobo," I said, nodding. She nodded. "May?" I asked, automatically shortening her name.

May frowned, but nodded. Okay, names were settled. Now what?

I started my exercises, body railing at being confined. May watched me closely from the bed. Shoving the chair out of the way and making a little more room, I did a couple high kicks, my knee rebelling slightly.

May stood and tried it herself. She was inexperienced, but I sensed promise. I could teach her some handy moves, for the next time that SOB laid his paws on her. I slowed, showing her step by step.

The next couple of days passed relatively quickly. I taught May some defensive moves. I think I would have gone stir-crazy if it wasn't for her. She engaged me. Nightmares from Club Med ate at me, the walls closing in. I'd wake up in a cold sweat. May would distract me; take my mind far from the nightmares.

Day six with May; I was warming up, May still asleep on the bed. I had another nightmare, a particularly bad one, and it took a lot to gat my mind off it. It still wasn't gone completely, so I was trying to burn it out of me. I stood, sweaty, as that SOB entered. He had his Zat up and ready as he lowered the force field. I didn't move, although I wanted to leap for his throat. His eyes narrowed and he smirked. I tensed, ready for action.

He zatted me. I fell to the floor with a cry of pain, cussing internally. I panted heavily through the pain, trying not to pass out. May was beside me now, hand caressing my face. She was yanked away. I struggled to rise, angry. I saw May start to break his grip, but I knew he still had the Zat. It wasn't worth it. I caught her eyes, directing them towards the Zat. She nodded and stopped fighting him.

I made it to my knees in time to see May pulled from the room, fear written on her face.

I had stopped pacing and sat staring. I was not worried. I was… angry. That's it. Angry. She is mine. I mean, my responsibility. You can't just use… make love to a woman and leave her to the wolves… uh, Jaffa.

I heard the door open and looked up in surprise. I didn't think I'd see her again. May was shaky. The SOB left, and I led her to the bed so she could lie down before she fell down. She had bruises. New ones. She shrugged, miming long shots. I winced in sympathy. It was bad enough when Janet got a hold of you, I didn't even want to imagine Gou'uld bedside manner.

She paled further, and I knew from experience to run for the bucket. She threw up until her body had nothing left, dry heaves shaking her to the bone. I ran a damp rag over her face, remembering that it sometimes helped.

"It's okay. You'll be alright. Shh. It's okay," I muttered quietly, trying to get her to relax. It would help her if she slept. I hoped.

I sat shakily down on the cold floor next to the bed. She had finally fallen asleep. I stared at the bruises. I was not worried. I was not afraid. I was not.
