Authors notes : soz it took so long all, been busy with work and other writing projects but finally here is Chapter 3 :-)
CHAPTER THREE
Sam groaned slowly as her eyes opened slowly, she blinked a few times but swore loudly at the sheer drop below her. She swallowed deeply before she looked from left to right seeing an unconscious Daniel held against the same wall she was but with no ties. How was that possible? She tilted her head peering closely at the dark greying walls before her eyes widened, thousands upon thousands of skulls and bones glinted in the dark. All seem to be glowing and had a certain eerieness about them, where was she? What the hell had happened?
ELSEWHERE...
Jack coughed and brushed off the dust in his hair, he looked to his right side and attempted a smile at the perturbed looking Teal'c.
" What a ride huh, Teal'c?"
Teal'c nodded before he raised an eyebrow at the ongoing dark, he reached down scooping up some of the sand letting it sift through his fingers.
" This is most strange O'Neill, do you remember it being this dark before?"
Jack shook his head getting up slowly brushing off his clothes," No, I remember Sam and Daniel sat under the blaze of sun commenting on some stupid rock or other."
Teal'c slowly sniffed at the sand he held in his hand, Jack made a face,
" Do I even want to know?"
Teal'c had to smile at his Commanding officer's comment before remarking," I do not think this world is what it seems."
Jack nodded having to agree, he peered into the distance and suggested,
" Let's head towards that light and considering we have no weapons, keep your guard up."
SGC...
" What do you mean you can't activate the gate?!?" demanded a very angry Hammond.
A Sergeant nearby stuttered," I just can't sir, it's as if the power is being..being diverted."
Hammond glared in his direction, watching the young man cower slightly before he shouted," Well someone better find a way to get that gate running and soon!"
BACK ON P4J-765...
Daniel woke suddenly crying out still stuck in the memory of being taken against his own will, he looked across from him and smiled slightly as Sam waved slightly.
" What's going on Sam?"
Sam looked troubled for a second before she replied," I really don't know Daniel, some invisible force ambushed me and brought me here."
Daniel nodded, squinting into the darkness trying to take in everything had happen. Sam looked around suddenly at the sound of thousands upon thousands of voices, all seem to be muttering argumentatively.
" Hello? Is anyone there??"
" Carter? Is that you?"
Daniel and Sam looked at one another, before both of them shouted," Jack! Up here."
Jack and Teal'c peered upwards into the darkness before their eyes rested upon Sam and Daniel, Jack couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and Teal'c just looked curiously on. Jack looked around for any possible way to get to his two team members, he walked over to the wall and began to test it for stability.
Teal'c looked at his commanding officer," May I ask what you are doing, O'Neill?"
Jack grunted as his hands gripped one of the skulls and his feet found footrests in its mouth, he looked back and explained," Getting to my team one way or another!" Teal'c watched as he clambered up the wall slowly before he himself, took hold of one skull and began the long climb.
Sam and Daniel watched on anxiously, Sam turned her head as she felt something brush across her ear and her eyes widened as a young boy's face looked back at her. Bright green eyes looked her over curiously before burnt hands trailed across her face. Sam swallowed slowly, her gaze moved downwards for a brief second and she noticed the boy was not actually real, he had legs or feet. All he had was a long pale white liquid tail that seemed to ooze from the eye sockets and mouth of the skull.
" Jack! Teal'c! Get off the skulls now!" she shouted quickly.
Jack looked up, confusion was clear on his face but as he turned his head back round he gasped as up his arms a white liquid coiled up slowly. He struggled but found the liquid was too strong, he looked back at Teal'c and saw he was having the same problem. Jack managed to pull one arm free, he attempted to brush off the liquid from his other arm but his hand went straight through.
" What the hell!"
Sam and Daniel looked on unable to help, feeling useless and worried for their friends. Sam's eyes widened as the wall around Jack began to crumble, her gaze looked to Teal'c and saw that the same thing was happening to him. Daniel forced himself free enough so he could look down properly, watching his friends fight against some strange force and not being able to do anything about it, was heartbreaking.
Jack cried out as his footholds gave way and he was left hanging by his one hand, he grimaced as something cold slowly lifted his fingers one by one. Teal'c glanced over at Jack, their eyes met before Jack smiled slightly as Teal'c closed his eyes and smiled respectfully. Sam and Daniel screamed for their friends as both Jack and Teal'c plunged into the darkness below.
