Blinking the pain away she opened her eyes only to see the back of some creature as well as the ground. She was currently hanging over something's shoulder and being carried through what seemed to be a forest. Swiftly kicking her foot out she swung herself off the beings shoulder and felt herself drop to the ground a good seven feet. Landing heavily on her side she jumped up to her feet, not taking a second look at the creature, she ran. She could feel the tree branches scratching, clawing, and grabbing at her as she ran aimlessly through them. Not having any idea where she was going she just ran as fast as her legs would take her.

Sam had gone a good distance but as soon as she rounded a tree a hand reached out, grabbed her braided hair, and yanked her back snapping her head back as well. Crying out in pain she looked up coming face to face with the ugliest being she had ever seen. Its whole body was scarred from head to toe, one of its eyes were completely scarred over as if it hadn't ever been there, it's teeth were odd some were sharp some were 'normal' and some were just plain missing and rotting. It had a horrible odor, was dirty and clearly hadn't showered in years; its pants and shirt were torn and dirty as well. It didn't say anything, just stared at her in wonder giving her a smirk that made her shiver.

She threw her right arm up and punched the side of the creatures face. But it didn't even phase it; it only tightened his hold on her braid and swiftly grabbed her chin in its grubby hand. That only made her fight it more and its silence was scaring her as well. She couldn't help the fear that started taking over as the creatures smirk became larger as his hand wandered. Slowly it moved down her throat to her chest, making its way down her stomach. Giving out a small whimper as she bit her lip she felt it grab her between the legs and watched that smirk turn into a full blown smile. Pushing against the creature's chest it only pulled her closer trapping her hands between both of their chests as it slammed its crusted and disgusting lips down onto hers.

This being was too strong for her to get away or push it off…and that terrified her. She could feel its hands wandering as it let go of her braid. But she couldn't do anything. Her legs were trapped within his, her arms were pinned between the two of them, swiftly she pulled her head to the side and felt his lips make contact with her neck where it bit down and began sucking on it drawing blood. Next thing she knew she was being shoved to the ground where the creature straddled her and began unzipping her vest. There was no way this was going to happen to her. She wouldn't let it. Her attempts to get the thing off her became more violent and sporadic but it only laughed at her before cutting the straps of her vest pulling it out from under her completely.

She flinched as it pulled her shirt up sliding his hands under it and grabbing at her flesh. Sam couldn't move, not only because she basically couldn't with the large being on her but because of fear. Feeling it latch onto her neck once more she waited for him to pull back before throwing an elbow in its face, it's only showing eye to be exact causing him to lose his grip on her in pain. Scrambling backwards she stumbled to her feet but as soon as she was on her feet she was being knocked right back down. Somehow the creature managed to regain his senses fast enough that he reached out a hand grabbing her ankle pulling her right back down. Just as he had repositioned himself back on her waist, hands held down above her head, she cried out bucking underneath him when she heard her radio going off.

"O'Neill I believe I have found traces of survival in the caves." It was Teal'c…and he was talking to Jack. Jack had come to save her. Feeling relief wash over her she still remembered the issue she had at hand.

"On my way." She had no idea where she was, and she only knew where the caves were from the gate because of the MALP. But she had no idea where that was either. So she did the only thing she could think of…

"Help! I'm over here!" Sam screamed at the top of her lungs, crying for help as panic took over.

As soon as she felt the creature rip the top half of her shirt right down the middle she felt herself choking on tears that streamed down her cheeks. Suddenly his hands went to her pants and she felt her belt literally rip off her pants before the creature all together ripped it in half tossing it off to the side with her vest. As soon as her belt was off she heard the button and zipper, snap and rip from their place. She continued screaming and crying out for help but it felt as though nobody in the entire galaxy could hear her. Everything was a blur, the only thing she could concentrate on was the being on top of her sucking on her skin, biting at her flesh, and beating on her. Sam could tell she was upsetting the creature because he started getting rougher with her, smacking her around, biting harder, grabbing harder. She thought she even heard something crack. But she didn't care…she needed Teal'c and Jack to find her and that's all she could do.

-x-x-x-

Jack had no idea what was going on or what had happened. One minute he was sitting at his desk staring at the wall, the next the alarms were going off and a med team was being summoned through the gate as well as himself. As soon as he set foot on that planet his world came crashing down…'Carter's missing?' He had sent everyone else back to the SGC leaving himself and Teal'c to search the surrounding area for her. They had been searching for a good half hour when Teal'c finally radioed him telling him he found something in the caves so he practically ran there. But on his way there he had to slow down as he heard something…screaming. 'Sam!' Changing directions he radioed Teal'c his position as he ran full force towards the screaming. He had never heard screaming like that, ever. Something was definitely wrong.

Finally breaking through a thick group of trees he paled at the sight before him. There on the ground was his 21C being attacked by some being on top of her. She was screaming, and he could tell she was panicking. Pulling his gun up he took his shot…directly in the head. And before the bullet even made contact with the thing he was running towards them. As soon as he was at her side he shoved the thing off her shooting it once more as it made contact with the ground before putting his attention on her. She was scrambling back away from him, her face had streaks of dirt and blood on it, there were trails of tears coursing through the dirt. Her vest was discarded off to the side and her shirt was torn half way down, not to mention how baggy her pants currently looked. There was a bleeding bite mark on her throat, as well as a few nips covering her neck and chest but not as bad as the first one he saw. He could also see bruises forming all over.

"Carter!" Quickly covering the distance she just made between them he kneeled down next to her pulling her into his arms as she sobbed. Instantly she started struggling to get away, pulling away he placed both hands on the side of her face making her look up at him. But suddenly she shoved him away with more strength than he figured she would have at the moment and didn't understand why until he heard an angry cry as she rolled away from him. Hearing her cry out he turned to see the creature had grabbed her by her left ankle and currently had her upside down hanging from his grasp. He had shot the damn thing, twice! Once in the head, another in the chest…how it was still standing he had no idea. Pulling his gun up once more he blatantly started emptying his entire clip into the creature who had a liking to throwing the Colonel to the ground like she was a rag doll and then starting all over again.

Finally his clip was completely empty, and he watched as the creature slowly dropped down to his knees, Sam ended up awkwardly laying on her upper back while the thing still had her in his grasp so her leg was still up in the air and she was upside down. Grabbing the nearest object which was a rock he went behind the thing and slammed the rock against his already damaged head. Coming around it he crouched next to it, grabbed Sam under her arms, and pulled her out of its loosened grasp falling onto his butt a few feet away with her leaning heavily back against his chest. Holding her close with his right arm wrapped around her shoulders and chest, he placed his left arm around the side of her head placing his hand on her head. He felt her trembling almost violently in his arms as they watched the creature fall to the ground face first. Suddenly he felt her head roll almost lifelessly back against his chest so he turned her so her side was resting against him to get a better look at her.

"Carter! Come on! Stay with me here Sam!" Her eyes were partially shut, struggling to stay open. There was blood running down from her hairline, bleeding lip as well as a slightly bleeding nose. Grabbing her face with one hand he moved his head closer to hers so she would concentrate on him. Finally her eyes flickered up to his and he saw relief.

"Jack…" She sobbed out closing her eyes tightly as he rested his forehead against hers.

"Yeah, it's me. You're going to be okay!" He responded pulling her in close, placing the other on the side of her neck burying his face in her hair. Sam immediately wrapped both her arms around him under his arms, both hands grasping his vest behind him as she buried her own face in his neck sobbing.

"O'Neill…" Just then Teal'c came jogging over to them, before walking over to the recently dead creature on the ground. Jack felt Sam stiffen in his arms and her arms tightened their hold on him. Quickly he got up to his feet with Sam still clutching to him. But as soon as she put her full weight on her legs her left ankle gave out making her cry out in pain and hold on to him tighter. Before she could gather her bearings and try again she felt herself being lifted up into Jack's arms where she held onto his neck, burying her face in his chest while he held her close.

"You okay?"

"Just get me out of here." She mumbled into his chest and he immediately started for the gate behind Teal'c.

"I'm sorry." She suddenly sobbed into his chest as he shifted her in his arms pulling her closer, as if that were even possible. She could hear Teal'c dialing up the gate as it activated.

"We'll talk when we get home. It's all going to be okay! I promise." He whispered down, placing a delicate kiss on the top of her head as he started walking up towards the gate where they soon walked through and she had lost consciousness before they even went through.

AN: Psycho creature. Why did he attack her and take only her leaving Teal'c and Daniel? Thank god for Jack huh! Hmmm what are they going to talk about when they get back?
