Comfort Zone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He could feel small tingling sensations running through his veins, like a comfortable bought of pins and needles travelling throughout his body. He tried to open his eyes but they wanted to stay shut, sleep calling him back from his semi consciousness. He allowed sleep to overtake his senses comfort settling in, his muscles and bones no longer ached. Something in his mind told him here he was safe, he felt enclosed by something but it did not matter. He wanted to stay, safe and protected from whatever was coming, he recognised whatever was coming would not be as painless as what he was feeling outside of his hazy state. Sleep overtook and his mind settled onto memories of the people in his life. He knew them but was happy enough just to watch them like through a camera lens, aware they were there but not willing to join them in their pursuits. A young boy played with a small dog in a park, running and laughing. He was aware of tall dark figure standing watching with him, a woman was sitting on a park bench in conversation with a man and clearly they were finding something very comical for they had smiles and laughter on their lips. A younger man was missing but it didn't matter. They were around somewhere he knew that. He just wasn't around with them all the time. The young boy wasn't always with him either. Why was that? Why would a child invade his sleep? He watched the child and found strange comfort seeing him so happy and carefree and the presence of the strong figure didn't intimidate or frighten him. The figure was a protector of all of them present. He smiled and watched, content.

She felt so relaxed, more relaxed than she had ever felt in a long time. It was if every muscle was being massaged by a warm fuzzy tingling feeling at the same time. Prickling heat travelled throughout her skin and around her body. Her mind was blank she saw no numbers or people as she usually did. She was aware she had been calling for people and then some time later she had felt the sensations running through her now. She tried to open her eyes they refused so she let them stay shut, happy in the comfortable sate she was in. She could hear something, a voice a memory. She relaxed and the voice called again. A voice she hadn't heard in a long time. It was distant and she allowed unconsciousness too guide her pulling her to a place where she could hear the voice better. Light started to come into focus, she tried to focus more, she could make out a figure, was this what was calling her. The she heard clear and concise.
'Sam'
Yes she could hear, a familiar voice, one she hadn't heard in a long time calling her name. Could she answer, had she tried to answer, she was dreaming wasn't she? Yet, things seemed so very real as well. She focused, a familiar sight greeted her, she knew him, couldn't focus on the name. She had missed him. Wanted to talk to him.
'Sam can you hear me?'
'Yes I can hear you'
Was that her voice, it sounded distant and didn't feel like it was coming for her lips, but as she focused on his face he look relieved that he had received an answer.
'Sam, concentrate and try to focus, its me Daniel'
Daniel, that was the name she had been searching for.
'Hey Daniel'
His features broke into one of those smiles she remembered so much. A smile that lit up a room and made you feel special. Like he had kept it, just for you.
'Hey Sam, How are you doing?'
Her mind tried to cast back to what had happened. She vaguely remembered pain, and losing vision, but couldn't place what was happening.
'I don't know. Remember pain, a tall man, and Jack'
Jack flashed into her mind. He had been with her, what had happened too him?
'Jack's fine Sam, its you, I wanted to make sure you were ok'
'You look great Daniel'
'Thanks Sam. Sam I'm going soon but I want you too be strong whatever happens. Help is coming, but you have too stay strong ok? For Jack and for me. We can't lose you Sam it isn't your time yet. Do you understand Sam?'
'Your leaving again Daniel?'
'I never have really left you Sam. I never left any of you, Jack, Teal'c I even have a look to see how Jonas is doing now and then!'
'I understand Daniel. Love you'
He flashed her one of those smiles and happy tears had appeared in his eyes.
'Love you too Sam'
He stood and watched she seemed to float back. His eyes never left hers, she couldn't remember losing focus with him and darkness taking over once more. She just remembered he was there, he never left.
