Author's note: This was my first fic I wrote a while ago and when I published it, a few people emailed me about why this story didn't get many reviews. I was told my characterization of Jack was way off and I apologize for that. I wanted to do something different. You try and some ideas don't work. Also, I was told Daniel is more believable in this story as the victim of Imika's twisted obsession. I thank Miss Kleola and Gatergirl for their help with revising this story. At first I was reluctant about reposting this and hopefully all you readers out there will enjoy it better.
Disclaimer: SG characters aren't mine. Wish they were, but Imika and Rina belong to me.

Chapter 1: Daniel Jackson...mine, always and forever
****************************************
"It'll get dark soon." Daniel said to his friends.
From what seemed like hours, they sojourned through the forest on planet P49-865.
Jack kept a secure hand on the gun strapped on his shoulder. He spotted the red sun peeking through leaves of emerald--colored trees that towered above.
"Yep," Jack replied. "We're outta here kids. I don't see anything spectacular going on here."
"Indeed," Teal'c agreed, walking alongside Daniel, "I don't see any signs of life either."
Sam's eyes, the color of a clear blue summer sky, scanned the forest. She hoped to find something before darkness arrived. And then her eyes halted at something moving, something green. It stopped, as if to sense Sam had been aware of its presence.
"Sam," Daniel said, catching up and stopped beside her. "What's wrong?"
She shook her head. "I don't know."
Jack's brows furrowed, curious about what spooked Sam all of a sudden.
"Carter?"
"Well, Sir, I thought I saw something moving in the trees. It looked green, just like the trees and then it disappeared."
Jack, Daniel and Teal'c searched for what Sam witnessed. The Colonel desperately wanted to find this thing, wanting to believe Sam-the woman he loved. To no avail, all they saw were endless trees.
Embarrassed, Sam chuckled. "Maybe I'm just tired. We've been here most of the day."
Jack noticed she was embarrassed. He didn't want her to feel that way and smiled a little.
"It happens. All right, we're going home."
Sam nodded, shrugging off what she thought she saw and trailed behind the team.
They headed back to the stargate. Quickly, Sam caught up with O'Neill. They were going back to the base and then she would go home. But she grew tired of going home to an empty house, wishing for company--Jack's company. Everyday he occupied her thoughts. Even when she was busy, Jack knocked at the door of her mind. And she never hesitated to welcome him inside.
Something jarred Sam from her fantasies of Jack. Though she heard the trees rustling behind her, it all happened so fast. It was like she had been slapped by a hurricane force wind and tossed several feet into the grass. Dazed, she looked up and managed to glimpse the others thrown like puppets by something tall and green. Sam could only watch in horror at the alien as it whisked Daniel in its grasp and disappeared into the forest.
**************************************************
Daniel's powder blue eyes fluttered open. His mind told him he was back at the base in the infirmary. But when everything cleared, his eyes showed him a different place. He lay in what looked like a cave. It would have been pitch dark and a relieved Daniel Jackson welcomed the moonlight that befriended him in the darkness. A shiver rippled through his body from the chill of night. His stomach rolled with nausea from a stench like one would smell inside a turtle tank.
What is this?
He started up from the ground and hesitated, wincing from the throbbing headache. He proceeded again, slowly this time. Daniel looked around. It appeared he was alone.
Jack? Teal'c? Sam...
Daniel, realizing his gun was missing, stiffened when he saw another light--candlelight that grew brighter as is it inched closer. His heart leaped at the sound of footsteps. They slivered behind him, closing in.
The thing that took me out of the forest, it has to be...
Daniel spun around. The terror in his wide eyes was illuminated by fire blazing on a torch--like stick held by something hulking over him--the reptilian creature.
******************************************************
General Hammond met the SG-1 team inside the gate room. He watched them as they strode down the ramp and noticed the team looked disheveled and troubled. He also noticed something else.
"What happened? Where's Dr. Jackson?"
Dirt mixed with black and blue bruises had blemished Sam's beautiful face.
"Sir, Daniel was kidnapped."
Hammond frowned. "Kidnapped? By who?"
Trembling, Sam answered, "Some--alien. We searched for him but it's dark now. We'll search again in the morning."
Disturbed by the news, Hammond stared at the gate and hoped in the morning Daniel would be found.
****************************************************
Daniel huddled in a corner of the limestone cave. He wanted to be as far away as possible from the alien who placed the torch inside a deep hole on the wall.
The alien turned around and watched the shivering Archaelogist.
Repulsed, Daniel stared back at the alien whose color changed from green to a sickly pale gray. He wondered what species it belonged to, thinking it looked very strange. Tendrils flowed from its head like cornrowed braids. Its cat-shaped jade eyes carefully watched every move he made. Every moment or so, nostrils of its human-like small nose flared above thick lips. Daniel studied reptilian scales on the alien's slimy skeletal body and more covered the triangular shaped face. Its hands-five fingers were long, slender talons. So were the feet.
The alien slithered closer.
Frightened, Daniel pushed himself deeper into the corner. "Why am I here?"
The alien stopped, tilted its head to the left as if to understand, but it did.
"I need you here," It replied in a croaky feminine voice.
"You're a-a--,"
Its thick lips parted a little and smiled. "Yes, I'm female. I am Imiiiika."
Trying to remain calm and careful to irritate her, Daniel raised his brows. Politely, he said, "Imika. Pretty name."
"I'm glad you like it," she remarked sensuously.
Her flirty tone alarmed him, heightening his fears of why she kidnapped him. He tried to shrug it off, thinking it had to be another reason.
"Listen," Daniel said, "I still don't understand why you *want* me here."
Imika hunched over him. "What is...Youuur name?" She purred.
"Uh...Daniel."
"Daaaniel." She purred again and smiled.
Curious, Daniel asked, "Are there any others? Like you?"
"I'm alone here. My people were destroyed by the Goa'uuulds."
"How did you manage to get away from them?"
"I hid in this cave."
Daniel had a hard time believing her story. Resting his head against the wall, he questioned, "Well, if you're able to hide, which I've seen you do very well in the forest, like a chameleon, though I'm sure you have no clue as to what that is, wouldn't it be difficult for the Goa'ulds to find your people?"
She snapped, "Believe what I tell you, human!"
"Okay," Daniel said meekly. "I believe you. So you're alone. You want company, and I'm it."
Imika whispered, "I saw you with the others. I did not want the female or the other two males...I wanted you."
This wasn't the first time an alien seduced him. He would never forget Hathor's evil charms and now it was happening again. He had to think of a way out...somehow.
Daniel replied carefully, "We can talk. I'll stay for a while, but..."
She shook her head. The tendrils bounced around. "You belong to me now."
Imika's taloned hands reached for his face, touching it.
Daniel flinched.
"Don't be afraid." Her fingertips traced along his lips. "I need you."
Keeping himself from being sick, Daniel turned his face away from her. He swallowed a few times. "Imika, if you want me to stay then I need to rest. I'm tired."
"All right. Youuuu rest."
Relieved, Daniel sighed silently when she had left him alone.
**************************************************
Daniel pretended he was sleeping and then he opened his eyes. She left where he laid and had gone to another part of the cave. There was no way he could stay there. He had to do something to escape and find the stargate. Carefully and quietly, Daniel stood from the corner and eased down a path that led to the entrance. He spotted the moonlight seeping inside.
Not far now. A little more...
Suddenly, scaled arms head locked him from behind. He choked while being dragged and tossed back into the cave.
Daniel leaped onto his feet and tightened his fist, hoping a few punches would do, but her incredible strength overwhelmed him. Daniel was thrown toward the wall. He slammed against it. The blow dazed him as he slid to the ground. Trembling, he saw the rage on her face as she raced toward him.
No, this can't be happening. Help me!
He watched in utter horror as she straddled him and pinned his arms down. Daniel struggled and again, her strength was too much for him to fight against. He surrendered, screaming silently as her lips neared his. Her breath reeked of the turtle tank stench he smelled earlier.
Outside the cave was nothing but a barren forest world where no one could hear his agonizing screams.
*******************************************************
Before dawn, a disoriented Daniel had no concept of time. His glasses lay on the ground, twisted with shattered lenses. In shock and naked, he shivered in the corner. Dried blood left a sticky trail in the corner of his mouth. He coughed and spit up more blood that oozed from his trembling lips. He tried to scream, but Imika would only abuse him again. Silently, he cried...
Help me.
