CHAPTER FOUR

Sam cried out as she was slammed to the ground by a brute of a man, she looked to Daniel and saw him rubbing his arm. Teal'c however had managed to punch his holder across the face and left him with a vivid purple bruise and was still struggling with three men as they tried to subdue him. Sam looked to the Colonel and shook her head, a fat lot of good he had been. So much for military training, these men were able to sneak up on them and ambush them without a problem. God she wished they still had Jack in command, he could pick up the slightest sound and was alert but their new Colonel was now unconscious thanks to his lack of alertness.

" Welcome to my world strangers, I am sorry for the way you were brought to me but it was required to make sure you meant me no harm!"

Sam looked up and saw a beautiful woman appearing from a doorway, Sam saw Daniel recoil quickly and she managed a smile knowing how odd alien women always took a liking to Daniel. The woman looked them over and looked curious at Sam for a while before declaring," I am Princess Neefa Jolandra of this world and you are?"

Sam replied," I am Major Samantha Carter, this is Dr Daniel Jackson, Colonel Matthew Harding and Teal'c!"

Neefa nodded and asked," Why have you come to my world?"

Daniel replied this time," We're looking for our friend Jack O'Neill!"

Neefa nodded and said," You Samantha Carter are female, do you lead this group of men?"

Sam shook her head and registered suprise on Neefa's face before Sam asked," You seem suprised?"

Neefa replied," Yes I am, here I rule the men and they do as I say! It would seem that in your world this is not the same!"

Sam nodded but asked," We ask your help in finding our friend!"

Neefa seemed engrossed in looking Teal'c over before she said," I cannot help you with your search!"

The three conscious members of SG1 looked at one another in confusion so Neefa explained," I cannot help you because I have taken your friend as my warrior and I will not allow him to go free free!"

Sam gasped along with Daniel, Teal'c's eyes darkened with anger before Neefa clicked her fingers.

Sam looked to a door opening and gasped, Jack strode into the room looking majestic in his outfit. Sam thought that Jack was a very handsome man before in ordinary fatigues but the body hugging outfit he had on made him drop dead gorgeous. His muscular arms were shown off by the bracelets clicked around his biceps and down his arm. The all too revealing silver chainmail vest he had on led Sam's thoughts in the totally wrong direction but the skin hugging black material surrounding his thighs made her feel even more flushed. The metallic knee high boots he had on shaped his legs and clung to the strong muscles. She looked to her face and what she saw took her breath away, his face had gold and silver markings all over it bringing out his eyes and each stroke complimented his features. She noticed a gold headband over his silver hair and one blue gem in the centre dipping towards his eyes was glowing slightly.

Daniel watched Sam curiously and smirked slightly as Sam's mouth dropped open and her eyes darkened with only what he could describe as desire. He smiled thinking that Janet owed him fifty bucks, it was obvious now that Sam returned the feelings that Jack had for her.

Teal'c asked," O'Neill?"

Jack showed no sign of hearing him, his eyes stared blankly at the wall behind them. Neefa tutted slightly before running a possessive hand down Jack's face and torso before saying," He cannot hear you, he is under my control and is my Orion!"

Daniel looked his friend over and noted the dead look in his eyes and knew what Neefa was saying was true, somehow she had found a way to control Jack. Daniel demanded," What are you going to do with us?"

Neefa replied," You will work in my mines until you die!"

Teal'c struggled against the hands holding him wanting to wrap his hands around this woman's neck and somehow free Jack. Jack looked Teal'c but showed no sign of recognition and then to Sam and Sam was sure she saw a flicker in those eyes.

One look into those blue eyes and Jack felt like he was waking from a dream, he remember the many times those eyes had twinkled and that face the many times it had smiled and laughed. Neefa watched as Jack shook his head and he groaned slightly, she looked to the one called Samantha and knew it was her influence. Somehow this woman held a power over Jack and she alone was breaking her control over him. Sam smiled slightly as Jack opened his eyes and groaned," Carter!"

This could not be, no man had ever been able to break free of her control before and it had to stop. She pressed the ruby and watched as Jack doubled over in pain clutching at his head, Sam watched as suddenly Jack crumpled to the ground wincing in pain. She desperately wanted to crawl over to him and take him in her arms and soothe his pain away but a large hand on her shoulder kept her where she was. Neefa knelt beside Jack and did what Sam desperately wanted to do, she stroked his hair and kissed his temples and Sam heard soothing words coming from Neefa's mouth.

Jack was vaguely aware of Neefa soothing him but he seemed trapped in his own mind, he wanted to push her away and help his team but he couldn't. He didn't seem able to move of his own free will and god how he wanted to.

Neefa smiled as she saw Jack was back under her control and she announced," Take them to the mines!"

Teal'c struggled alongside with Daniel but the men simply shoved them along, Sam watched as the Colonel was slung over a man's shouler and carried off before she felt herself being dragged to her feet. She screamed anxiously," Colonel, Jack you have to break free of her control! We need you Jack, help us!"
