Disclaimer: okay by now I think you all get the picture anything you recognize belongs to their respective owners and anything you don't recognize (that isn't from The Crow TV series) belongs to me.
Note: Sorry for the delay, I'm a busy person. Hope the last chapter wasn't too much of a cliffhanger (what am I saying, I was left on the edge after that one). Anyway hope you enjoy.
"People once believed that when someone dies the crow carries their sole
to the land of the dead.
But sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried
along with it and the sole can't rest.
And sometimes, just sometimes the crow can bring the sole back to put things right."
The Crow
When O'Neill came to his hand immediately went to his side. But he felt no pain. He sat up and looked around him. It was too dark to see. He could feel the hard ground beneath him but other than that he had no clue as to where he was.
"Carter, Daniel, Teal'c," he called into the darkness straining his eyes to see. He heard someone stir beside him.
"Sir?" Carter's voice rang out through the darkness.
"Carter. Any idea what happened?" he asked. His eyes began to adjust to the darkness and he saw the puzzled look on her face.
"I don't know sir. The last thing I remember was that crow swooping down on us and then..." realization dawned on her face. "Sir we're-"
"Yeah"
"How?"
"I don't know." They were interrupted as Daniel regained conciseness slowly followed by Teal'c.
"What just happened?" Daniel asked.
"Well uh-"
"Don't tell me."
"Yeah," Carter said looking around.
"Okay well now what?" Daniel asked. He looked at the surrounding walls. Whoa." He looked around and saw an array of symbols on the wall. They were in the middle of a large room with no sign of a door or any other way out. Daniel walked over to the wall. His eyes followed the symbols on the wall. "I've never seen these symbols before. Have you Teal'c?"
"I have not."
"They look vaguely similar to some other languages."
The others stood back as Daniel attempted to translate the writings on the wall.
"O'Neill!"
Jack turned at Teal'c's warning to see a normal sized crow swoop down on them. Jack picked up his gun aim roughly at the crow and fired several times. His shots missed as the crow disappeared. He stared after the crow as thought trying to figure things out. "Those things are really starting to get on my nerves."
"Well now what?"
"I'm trying to translate the symbols. Hopefully there'll be some clue here as to what to do," Daniel said.
"How long's that gonna take?"
"I don't know."
"Great just great," He said sitting down.
Roughly a half an hour later Daniel turned around to the rest of the team. "Okay I think I've got it."
"What's it say?"
"Well roughly translated it says that every person the crow kills gets taken here. And each person has their own crow, and the only way they can return is by killing their crow here."
"So why haven't more people killed their crow and come back?" Sam asked.
"Because they could not," Teal'c said.
"Yeah he's right. Most people who would come here wouldn't necessarily have weapons or even be able to read the writings.
"So basically what you're saying is in order to get back we have to find 'our' crow and kill them?" O'Neill asked.
"Yeah,"
"Okay how do we find it?"
"Well according to the writings, the crows should come to us. Eventually."
"How soon is eventually?"
"I don't know?"
"Yeah well Daniel we're on a time limit here. If we're not back in 5 hours Hammond's going to send help through."
"Hopefully we'll be out of here before then."
"And if kills us on our way to the Gate?" Sam asked.
"We'll cross that bridge later," Jack told her.
A loud noise sounded behind them. The team turned to see several large crows coming out of apparently nowhere. O'Neill raised his gun and fired.
