His arms wrapped around her holding her close to him. A fire crackled nearby casting shadows around them. His fingers trailed along her skin, up her arm and across her shoulder. He softly caressed her neck before he lightly drew his fingers over her face.

A gentle brush of his lips on hers became an intense passionate kiss. She felt his body press against her before he pulled back and his eyes locked with hers.

"I love you," he said.

As blackness returned she wished she knew who he was and who she was.


Sarah shook the woman lying on the bunk hoping to help her. Osiris slept and Sarah had discovered a way to move without waking him. Now she was determined to save the woman from this hell.

Finally she woke up, her dark brown eyes darted over Sarah's face in confusion. Her mouth opened as she tried to form words that were unfamiliar to her.

"Don't say anything," Sarah whispered, reaching out to take her hand, "Come with me Sha're."

Sha're tilted her head to Sarah. The name, her name gave her focus. Sarah took Sha're's arm and pulled her out of the room and along the corridors. Finally they reached the exit to the ship leading out to a forest.

"Go," Sarah told her, "Hide until you remember how to leave. I will try and keep this from Osiris."

Sha're stared at Sarah unsure at what was going on but finally she turned and ran. Sarah didn't watch what way the woman ran but turned and headed back to the bedchamber hoping to be able to hide this from Osiris long enough to give her a chance.


The moment Jacob arrived he joined SG1 and Hammond in the briefing room.

"I've got an address," Jacob told them as they sat around the briefing room table, "We have an operative there."

"Good," Hammond nodded, "How sure are we that this truly is the resurrection of Sha're and not some trick?"

"To be honest not really," Sam said, "All we have is…"

"Completely," Jack cut her off.

"What?" Sam turned to him.

Jack sighed knowing he had to break a promise to keep another one, "Daniel sort of contacted me."

"What? When?" Sam demanded angrily.

"An hour or so ago," Jack told them, "He wanted to know what was going on. Shifu explained that Daniel had felt Sha're's presence."

"Then you believe she has been revived," Hammond said.

"Yeah," Jack nodded before frowning slightly, "I don't think Daniel is able to do anything to help her so we have to. I promised him."

"Osiris wants Isis back," Jacob said, "He thinks that Daniel has her so is using Sha're to draw him out. Instead he's getting us and a whole lot of firepower."

"You leave in two hours," Hammond told them, "Get ready."

Jack made it to his office before he was attacked.

"You've seen him?" Sam demanded, "And you didn't tell us."

"I had a good reason," Jack replied softly.

"Like?" Teal'c demanded.

"He asked me not to," Jack told them, "He didn't want to upset you. He didn't even mean for me to know he was there the first time."

"First time?" they snapped in unison.

Jack sighed, "He came to check up on me before Kasuf arrived then to find out what was happening when he felt Sha're."

"You should have told us," Sam fumed, "You know how much we miss him."

"I promised him," Jack said, "If we need to we'll complete this discussion later Major."

"Yes sir," she replied through gritted teeth before turning on her heel and marching out followed closely by Teal'c.

"Damn," Jack sighed.

The Stargate burst open and SG1 with Jacob stepped through. They found themselves in a dense forest with no one nearby.

"No guards," Jack said suspiciously, "Don't like this. Let's get under cover."

The Pyramid on the horizon gave them a direction. They moved quickly and quietly through the trees.

"Okay, someone explain why we're not seeing any Jaffa at all," Jack said after an hour.

"I don't understand either," Jacob frowned, "But I don't like it."

"It's getting dark sir," Sam said, "We need to find a place to camp."

"There are caves nearby," Teal'c told them guiding them to a place to camp.

"Let's get set up," Jack ordered.

They had dinner in silence; Sam and Teal'c were both pointedly not talking to Jack. Jack sat staring into the fire glancing up as Jacob sat next to him with a questioning look in his eyes.

"They're mad at me cause I requested that we keep working after we lost Daniel," Jack explained, "That's why Sam's only talking to me when she has to."

"I guess finding out that Daniel contacted only you and you didn't even tell them has got them even more annoyed," Jacob sighed before giving him a inquiring look, "Is he okay?"

"Daniel got under your skin too huh?" Jack laughed, "He seems worried about this Sha're thing but he's okay there."

"Then what?" Jacob asked.

"You lost me," Jack said.

"If his wife is alive, then what?"

"You know something Jacob, I really don't know."


Sha're pulled herself into a small ball trying to retain some warmth in her body. She had to hide she knew, she had to stay hidden but she wasn't sure from who or what. Sha're now knew her name but it still gave her no clue as to who she was. The man from her fantasy was no longer with her and no matter how hard she tried he wouldn't return to her. She wanted him; she needed him to come back to her.

Love.

That was the feeling she had for him, what he held for her. Love.

But he wasn't there anymore. She felt wetness on her cheeks; touching it she drew her hand back to see the water on her fingers. Hesitantly she tasted it. She knew what it was but she couldn't work out the words. It was like everything, familiar but just out of her reach.

Frustrated Sha're closed her eyes and fell asleep.


"Oma," Daniel said, "If Sha're is alive, what then?"

"It is completely your choice," Oma told him, "But if she is not alive?"

"I don't understand," Daniel looked at her confused.

"You are not ready Daniel," Oma told him, "But you need to make your decision."

"Now?"

Oma shook her head, "It is a decision not to be taken lightly."

"Then I can live?" Daniel asked, "I mean…"

"Your body has been repaired," Oma told him, "You can return to your original form."

Confusion filled him. With no other choice he'd been pleased to join Oma, he wanted to learn but now with both choices, what was he going to do?

"Oma, in my present form can I help them?" Daniel asked.

"At the appropriate time," she smiled placing a hand on his cheek, "You are a good soul Daniel, always remember that."

"I'm grateful for all you've done for me, all you've taught me," Daniel said, "Just in case I don't get a chance to tell you."


Sha're struggled as the Jaffa dragged her from her refuge. She wanted to scream for help, to cry out but she didn't know how. The Jaffa picked her up and she twisted trying to get away from them. She was thrown to the ground in the throne room and looked up into the glowing eyes of Osiris.

"You should not have done that," he roared at her, "You are my servant, I am your God. Your life belongs to me and nothing shall change that."

Breathing hard Sha're stared at the Goa'uld before slowly shaking her head. She couldn't speak, she didn't know how to but she knew that she belonged to no one. Her natural defiance and spirit broke through the confusion that she had lived with since she had awoken.

"You shall regret that," Osiris hissed at her, "Place her back within her cell."

Sha're's dark eyes sparkled with rebelliousness as the Jaffa dragged her away. Osiris fumed wondering how she'd managed to get out of the complex never mind so far from it. There must be someone within the circle that was a traitor. Never mind, that could prove useful.


Jack looked across the field in annoyance.

"Well this is fun," he sighed, "There's no way we can get across without being seen."

Sam was chewing her lip thoughtfully, "Perhaps a little diversion."

"Carter, you're about to be brilliant again aren't you?" Jack sighed, "What's the plan?"

"How about a little C4 at the other side, remote controlled explosion, they all go that way we head in the other side?" her smile was self-satisfied.

"Good Major," Jack said, "Take Teal'c and fix it up."

She nodded and disappeared. After about half an hour she and Teal'c rejoined them.

"Ready?" she asked.

Jack nodded and she hit the button. The ground rocked as the C4 took a large chunk of forest with it. As the Jaffa all scrambled to the explosion, SG1 and Jacob made it to the Pyramid unseen.

"Jacob," Jack called as they moved through the corridors, "Where would they be keeping her?"

"Possibly the prison wing," Jacob said, "But only if she is any sort of threat of escape."

"Being Sha're I'd say yes," Jack replied, "Girl won't stay put if she doesn't want to."

"Hide," Sam snapped suddenly.

They pressed themselves behind a wall as a group of Jaffa marched past them. Jack watched through a crack and saw them dragging a young woman. As she struggled she turned towards him and he felt his heart leap, it was Sha're.

"Sir?" Sam asked seeing his grin.

"It's her," he told them, "Let's follow."

Teal'c took the lead with Jacob at the rear. They followed on quietly behind the Jaffa towards where Osiris was waiting.


Daniel was waiting. He knew he'd know when he could join his friends but the waiting was a horrible thing.

"Father," Shifu came up beside him, "When you go to help, I shall come with you."

"Why?"

"If this is Mother I wish to meet her," he said softly, "And if it is not I want to help your friends."

"She'll love you," he told the boy.

"Are you returning to your friends?" Shifu asked.

"I don't know," Daniel said, "I miss my friends and if your mother is alive there is so much to go back for. But there's so much to learn here, so much to explore."

"I know whatever decision you make shall be good for you," Shifu told him.

Daniel knelt down and hugged the boy tightly before suddenly realising.

"It's time."


Osiris smiled slowly as Sha're was thrown in front of him again. Sha're stared defiantly at him.

"Crithis," he snapped, "Will she be receptive to the hypnosis device?"

Crithis frowned thoughtfully, "Her mind is still extremely malleable just now. It should be easy to implant the notion of killing Daniel Jackson into her."

Osiris laughed, "Good."

From his hiding place Jack swore they had problems now.

The whole room was cleared except for the two Goulds and Sha're. Sam gripped her gun tighter getting ready for when Jack gave the signal. She really wanted to grab Sha're and run to the Stargate but they needed to wait till they had a good chance for saving her.

Osiris picked up the small device beside him and grabbed Sha're by her hair. Sha're struggled managing to hit away the hypnosis device. In anger Osiris grabbed a dagger.

"Now," Jack snapped.

They made their move taking out Crithis but Osiris had a good grip on Sha're and pressed the dagger to her throat.

"Hold," he yelled, "I shall kill her."

Jack froze as Sha're's dark eyes fixed on him. He could see her fear but also her confusion at him. Jack realised suddenly she had no idea who they were.

"Let her go," Jack said pointing his zat at them, "I will fire."

"You shall only hurt her," Osiris said.

"She's tough," Jack replied activating the zat ready to fire.

"Sir no," Sam snapped, "You could completely destroy her mind."

Osiris laughed and was about to drive the dagger into Sha're's heart when the two lights moved through the room revealing Daniel and Shifu.

"Daniel Jackson," Osiris smiled, "Give me my queen and I shall release your wife."

Daniel walked towards him calmly, "I'm not giving you Isis," he said, "And you are not going to hurt her in any way."

Osiris tried to plunge the dagger into Sha're but dropped it as it glowed white-hot. The Goa'uld stared in confusion at him while Sha're pushed away from him.

"Jack, get Sha're out of here," Daniel ordered moving towards Osiris.

Jack nodded, he moved to take her arm but she pulled away from him and into a corner.

"Daniel, she doesn't know me," Jack yelled, "She won't come."

"Father," Shifu said, "I shall deal with the Goa'uld."

Daniel nodded and turned towards where Sha're had hidden herself.

Sha're tried to hide away as all the people shouted. Strangers each carrying what she instinctively knew were weapons. Terrified she tried to shut it all out just closing her eyes and curling into a small ball.

"Sha're," a gentle voice called to her, a voice she knew.

Opening her eyes she saw him there. The man she had dreamt of knelt beside her worry in his eyes.

"Sha're," he called again.

Slowly she reached out and touched his face. At the tangible evidence of his presence she moved closer and into his arms. Daniel held onto her for a few seconds before standing them both up.

He turned to see Shifu placing the adult Goa'uld into a tank. Sarah was in Teal'c's arms unconscious.

"What just happened?" Jack asked.

"Shifu removed Osiris from Sarah," Daniel explained as he guided Sha're towards them, "Let's get back to the base."
