Disclaimer: I just can't leave things alone can I? I was just going to leave this as it was, but ended up writing another part. I don't own Stargate, this is told in first person, though a letter.
It's a bit depressing.

Part 2:- Dear Daniel.

Dear Daniel,
When did this nightmare truly start? I think it was when I saw your journal - your blood stained journal in the hands of one of the airmen of the SGC. It was then that it hit me, everything I had done.
God Danny, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean too, I swear. I wish I could tell you this in speech, but instead I have to write what I want to tell you.
Teal'c is going to be fine. So am I. Funny isn't it. We'll all going to be fine... all but you. I just wish this was all a dream, the only thing I want in the world right now is too wake up and be told that the last mission was all a horrid nightmare. To have Teal'c staring at me with a raised eyebrow, muttering 'Indeed'. To have Carter rambling on about some scientific mumble jumble, me pretending to understand nothing of what she said. To have you, rushing in late, camera at the ready.
Nothing's going to be the same without you buddy. But, I guess I'm going to have to get used to that. It's all my fault.
The last thing I remember clearly is feeling a stinging sensation on my arm. Everything else is all blurry, like watching yourself on a video on fast forward. After you had drunk so much you have no memory of the events being shown on the video. That's how I felt. Not much of an excuse.
According to Carter, they came through the gate as soon as they could. I had been really clever and dialed the gate up so the SGC couldn't send help. Well, it wasn't clever from your point of view I guess. Back to what happened. They found me heading towards Teal'c, ready to kill him. There... there was no trace of your body.
Anywhere. The only thing of yours was your blood covered journal, stuffed down a half rotten tree trunk. The airmen almost missed it, If it hadn't been for the... blood, there would have been no way they would have found it.
What was in that journal Daniel? All I know is that General Hammond took it, came back after half a hour and told me there would be no action taken against me. He had red eyes and, if, I didn't know better I would have said he had been crying.
Janet thinks I used a Zat on you... I hope it was before you died. I hope... I hope you didn't suffer. I have no memory of the last few minutes before Carter and everyone showed up. I don't remember what I did to you. I remember shooting at you.
God, Daniel. What was in that Journal? That's the only thing on my mind at the moment. Carter, Janet even Teal'c have all been past me, holding a piece of paper, and in the case of Janet, crying.
"I don't care who sees it." Janet had said with anger. "I don't care who sees me cry. I have lost a friend."
Teal'c told me that the paper contains the last message from you to each of those people. He said that Hammond kept the journal and copied out the messages. I guess he didn't want other people to read all the messages. Carter only read her own, Janet only read her own, etc. etc.
There was even a message for Cassie. You were very careful Danny. Thought of everybody...
The General just came to see me. He gave me your journal and told me to read it. Then he left me alone. It's on my desk, the dried blood reflecting off it. Should I? I have to know what happened. I'm going to read it.
~~~
Daniel... Daniel, you selfless guy. It was just typical of you. To apologize for dying. I mean, for crying out loud Daniel, it was no body's fault but mine. I should have resisted what ever was in my blood for longer. I shouldn't have dialed up the gate, I shouldn't have shot you or Teal'c.
Sneaky. I'm going to keep my promise to you Daniel, after all it seems your last though was of her, Sha're. You'll going to hold me to that, aren't you. Prevent me from going into retirement and hiding away from the world.
Stop thinking about others Daniel. Why couldn't you be selfish for once? Why did you have to forgive me? How could you forgive me, when I can't even forgive myself. You deserved better than that Daniel. I'm going to find her and tell her how much you loved her. I'm going to save her.
But it won't be the same. Nothing will. Part of me can't believe you're dead. Part of me still expects you to walk though that gate.
"sorry guys, I was hiding in a cave on the planet. I'm okay."
In a few days, I'm traveling to Abydos. Bet you're wondering why, eh Danny boy? I'm going to send this letter to you. According to a journal I found, the people of Abydos believe that you could send letters to the dead by burning then after performing some kind of mumbo jumbo, spell thing. The words sail across the rive and are found by the person they are sent to.
I don't know if I believe that, but it's a lot better than just leaving this letter where it will gather dust and be a permeant reminder of what happened. As if I need reminding. As if I could forget.
I came across your "The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead" a few minutes ago. I'm lying. I went looking for it, after seeing the quote in your Journal entry. I guess I thought it would be a god way to say good buy, to include a spell from the culture you love so much.
And look! I found one. Took me a while to realize the 'N' was where you put the name of the dead, I thought all these spells were all dedicated to this N person. I wish I could do more for you Daniel, I wish none of this had happened.
I'll keep on fighting, in your name. Keep trying, until Earth is safe. Until Sha're is safe. Goodbye.
I'm going to miss you Daniel.
Yours,
Jack O'Neill.

There may or may not be another chapter, depending on if I get any reviews for another one. So what do you think? Want a happy ending? Or should I just leave it like this, with Daniel dead?
Please leave a review, telling me what you think!
