Author's note: First off, thanx for the support! Glad you're enjoying. Second: Sorry for all the misspellings and typos. Notepad doesn't help the situation. Third: This is all supposed to be in Italics, but notepad is stupid and won't let me do anything unless I do it to ALL the text so the lack of quotation marks denotes it's telepathic...in case it's unclear this is a dream of a memory projected into Jack's mind.
"They've broken through the upper blast doors Colonel!" a voice called. Jack stared at his daughter, fear finnaly filling his chest.
"Dial it, Cassi" he ordered.
"Jack, it's still just experimental. We don't know if it'll work" Daniel objected. But Jack just stared at his daughter, seeing the glint of fear she would not let show on her face in her eyes. He cupped her face in his hands, a thousand beautiful memories flashing through his mind.
"Cassi, baby, even if you make it off planet, there's no guarentee you'll find people you can live among. I don't want you out there on your own forever" he told her quietly.
"It's okay, Dad. I'm not afraid" she lied. A single tear rolled down her cheek as he watched her set the Star Gate. They could hear the Jafa coming. They grabbed their guns and headed down to the Gate room. Jack, Teal'c and Daniel set themselves in line with the others. The Gate spun and locked, but not quick enough. The blast doors blew adn they opened fire. Men went down to his left and right and she watched with a terrible guilt as they fell. Suddenly the Gate opened. She stared for a brief second and looked back at the only family she'd ever known as they fell. Teal'c went first, and Daniel right after him. A fresh wave of grief and guilt washed over her, a searing pain imobialized her as she felt them lose conscienceness in her own mind.
"Go, Cassi, Go!" her father ordered her. She was jolted into action, sprinting up the ramp, barely stooping to grab up her father's survival pack.
I love you Daddy!
I love you too, baby! she heard him think loudly. She dove for the Gate, snaping her head back for one last glance, just in time to see a bolt from a staff weapon hit him, throwing him against the ground amid the remains of her family. An agonizing ripping pain/fear/love/grief coursed through her as he faded.
"Dad! No!"
But her words were lost to the wormhole.
