Sam opened her eyes and groggily stared into an open ceiling, she squinted
trying to focus her mind on where she was and how she'd got there.
Memories of a quick ambush, jaffa, zat blast, yeah she remembered that part
of the scenario.
~~~~~~~~~~
They had arrived through the stargate, leaving earth at approximately 08.00. The malp had sent back information and she knew the large sun would be setting making it estimatedly 14.00 this side of the gate, well according to their time anyways. Who knew how long light would stick around? Still she hadn't been prepared for it too be as bright as it was. She slipped on her dark glasses and awaited her CO as he issued orders to SG2. Teal'c and Jonas had secured a perimeter as she checked off some info from the malp.
After checking everyone knew what was, happening O'Neill issued them orders to move out and they had set off at a quick pace towards the Valley. The undergrowth had been heavy but didn't at all slow them down. According to the information dad had brought through from the tok'ra, the way should have been clear. All they need to have worried about would have been some jaffa scouting parties. She'd been scouting out the way ahead herself when she'd noticed the undergrowth had started to clear, edging forward she saw from a distance a small jaffa gun turret in a clearing. She had signalled to the team to stop, her dad and Malek had fallen back, O'Neill had signalled Teal'c and Jonas to the left of them, motioning her to cover as they moved slowly forward where they could get a better view of the clearing.
She'd saw it, out of the corner of her eye to her right, shifting in the undergrowth, she was about to raise and aim when the Colonel had propelled her forward his weight heavy on her as a staff blast landed inches away from them. Within seconds blasts and gun fire started flying and she scrambled back onto her haunches and returned some of her own into the undergrowth unable to focus on any real target but generally aiming for any leaf that moved. She'd shifted round aiming in the same direction as the Colonel as he had quickly barked some orders to the rest of the team to fall back, head for the gate and get back to the SGC.
They'd get of this predicament, somehow. Then jaffa had emerged from around the clearing, one had ordered them out, and they had taken heed to his request. She'd managed to chance a glance at the Colonel and he didn't look too pleased when one of them had stepped forward and recognised him. He'd then turned and sneered at her mentioning something about the handmaiden the Colonel had helped escape from Baal's last fortress. She looked him straight in the eye, feeling physically sick when he'd started to eye her up moving in to cop a feel. The Colonel had intercept, receiving a blow to the skull for his trouble, and so she'd tried a hand at herself. Bad idea, the large jaffa had pushed her effortlessly back against a large tree. She had tried to gain some composure, she'd heard rather than saw the zat loading and then dark spots arriving before she finally decided to give into unconsciousness.*
~~~~~~~~~~
So, where was she now? Her stomach was turning somersaults, probably from that blow to the head, big tree. She tried rolling to her side, realised she couldn't as she was already next to a wall which was blocking her turn. Ok major try turning the other way. She flipped slowly onto her side, she groaned black dots filled her pupils, she squeezed her eyes shut, don't black out, stay focused, concentrate. She breathed deeply through her nose and sent the air down into her lungs and stomach, slow easy breaths. She brought up her legs curling them into her stomach. This won't do, Sam, laying here, staring at beige walls wondering what'll happen next.
Gradually, painstakingly slowly she managed to push herself into an upright position. Sam glanced at the seat situated at the left of her, no way was she making it to that anytime soon, she'd be quite comfortable on the floor. Her mind started to piece events together again. The Colonel, was he around here somewhere too? She hoped so in a way, if not she knew he would be on his way to find her so either way it was a small comfort.
Was this Baal's fortress, she hoped to god it wasn't similar too what the Colonel had experienced. A sound broke into her broken thoughts, pulling her round. She felt herself lurch forward as the ground she sat on started to turn vertically onto its side. She slid down hard on the ground as it turned onto its side, curling herself up as she rolled down and hit the now horizontal wall. Her stomach lurched and she fought the urge to vomit, her mind spinning, she lay still trying to calm her senses. Hearing heavy footsteps, she forced herself to open her eyes, looking through a crook into her arm she saw two pair of large feet heading her way. Rough hands grabbed her arms pulling her to her feet. The room spun and her legs wouldn't hold her as they tried to lever her on the ground. Realising she wasn't going to help herself a jaffa swung her roughly over his shoulder and carried her out of the confinement she'd been placed in.
