CHAPTER FIVE
Sam and Daniel stepped out the other side into a white building. Sam surveyed the area and observed the tall white pillars that seemed to go on forever until her eyes were drawn to a painting on the ceiling. She was stunned by its beauty and the clear representation of these peoples evolution through time. Daniel searched the blinding whiteness for an exit or someone they may be able to help them. He looked closer as the white wall facing them seemed to open and he grinned when he saw Teal'c and Ally coming towards them.
Ally asked," Why have you travelled here?"
Sam replied," It's Jack, he's got worse and he doesn't seem to be responding to anything."
Ally knelt down beside Jack and gasped as she could feel his pain and she clutched at Teal'c's arm as the pain toppled her over. She breathed in and out slowly before snarling," Trax, he is still hurting him, we must help him with his memories while we still can."
Teal'c bent down and picked Jack up before following Ally to a circular room with a large stone table in the middle. Daniel looked around the room at the many faces that sat gathered around the table, a man with long greying black hair and startling blue eyes announced," Welcome travellers of earth, I am Tralin the head of the High Senate. We must apologise for Trax's behaviour and have sentenced him to six months in isolation for his attack on your friend! We the High Senate have agreed to allow Ally to connect your friend and one other so that the memories may be stopped and your friend be saved, who will be the one?"
Teal'c looked to Sam and Daniel and they both looked clueless but Daniel spoke up," I think my friend Sam should be the one to help my friend."
" I concur with Daniel Jackson."
Tralin nodded and turned his attention to Sam before asking," Do you accept responsibility for bringing your friend back from the deepest depths of his memories?"
Sam looked into Jack's lifeless eyes before taking his hand in hers and nodding, Ally smiled and took Sam's hand before closing her eyes and humming. Sam gasped as she felt her consciousness falling away and she was left feeling unsettled as it felt like she was being lifted from her body. Suddenly a bright white blinded her temporary and she closed her eyes but as she opened them she looked around as she found herself in a dark room.
" Hello? Is anyone there?"
Sam moved towards the only light she could see, she cried out as something painful flashed through her mind. She clutched at her head and shut her eyes as it felt like her whole body was being torn in two as if someone was electrocuting her. She collapsed to her knees but she hissed as she felt pain throughout her upper chest area. She clenched her teeth before she snapped her head up as she heard a pain filled scream, she staggered to her feet and hurried towards the scream.
* Daniel watched on in desperation as Sam lay motionless alongside Jack but even in uncosnciousness she still grasp Jack's hand in hers. He just hoped that Sam could bring herself and Jack back and he would not have to lose two friends *
Sam coughed as a heavy cloud of smoke blocked her way but she could hear someone sobbing and pleading for help so she pushed through. She called," Jack? Jack can you hear me?" The sobbing still continued but as she got closer she cried out as an image of a gun lying in a small lifeless hand flashed through her mind and it forced tears to fall. The feeling of despair and hate for ones self was overwhelming, she shook her head and struggled onwards. She gasped as she walked into a room that seemed to be surrounded by shattered mirrors. She looked to the centre of the room and gasped as Jack was on his hands and knees gasping and sobbing as shards of glass sunk into his flesh.
Sam called," Jack."
Jack's head came up and he stared at her with scared tear filled eyes but Sam cried out as another mirror shattered and as the shards cut into Jack she felt the pain of a staff blast across her thigh. Sam looked up and gasped as Jack was now on the floor curled into a fetal position.
* Daniel's eyes skittered from Sam to Jack as Jack suddenly cried out in agony followed by Sam hissing in pain, he looked to Teal'c and Teal'c gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before returning his attention to his friends *
Sam crawled to Jack and said," Jack! Jack please you have to fight this."
Jack opened his eyes weakly before muttering," Can't, too tired! Been fighting for too long, must rest."
Sam shook her head and screamed desperately," No you can't give up, Jack don't you dare give up on me."
Jack smiled weakly but gasped as another shard of glass cut into his body and he felt the agony of a hand device all over again. Sam clenched her jaw against her own pain before looking to Jack and ordering," Jack you have to beat these memories, you have to come back to us."
Jack opened his eyes slowly before gasping," I can't, I..I thought I had defeated these memories a long time ago but I can't fight them again Sam, I just can't!"
Sam shook her head and allowed tears to fall freely down her face before she muttered," You can and you will Jack because we need you, I need you."
Jack looked up at her confused before Sam continued," Yes Jack I need you, God I need you so much you would not believe."
Jack smiled weakly but coughed and Sam gasped as blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, she grabbed his hand, stroked his hair and said gently," You can't leave me Jack because I need you, I need your jokes and sarcastic remarks to keep me going and most of all I need to be able to see your face everyday because without it my hope would die."
* Daniel gasped as he saw blood trickle from Jack's mouth and Sam started to shake, he clasped his hands together and did something he had not done for a while he prayed *
Sam put Jack's hand to her face and traced her tears," Please Jack fight this, I don't want to lose you."
Jack swallowed deeply before struggling to his knees, he gasped as his stomach hurt again but as he fell forward Sam caught him and held him close. Jack breathed in harshly before raising his eyes to meet Sam's, he gasped," I'm trying Sam but it's just so hard."
Sam nodded and replied," I know Jack but you have to or I will never forgive myself or you for leaving me and most of all these people for taking away my one true love and soulmate."
Jack looked stunned before Sam smiled and said gently," Yes Jack I love you."
Jack smiled before coughing but he managed to gasp," I love you too Sam."
Sam stroked his hair and his face as he collapsed, she soothed," You have to fight Jack and when I come back to the real world you better be there with me."
She leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips smiling as he kissed back slowly but suddenly a bright white blinded her again.
