Thanks for all the reviews, I'm really getting in to this story now, and I
think there will be a sequel, as I suddenly had a flash of inspiration last
night when I was meant to be working. Anyway, here's chapter 11!

When I open my eyes, I see her. She smiles.
It's Sam.

Chapter 11 – Evil
The pain of seeing her this way is unlike anything I've ever experienced. The look of evil in her eyes terrifies me to my core. I can't take much more of this. I'd rather one of the Jaffa just shot me, than have to see her like this. See that look of pure evil.
She paces up and down the line looking at each one of us in turn. I know soon she will come to me, and I don't think I'll be able to stand it. She hasn't said anything yet, but I know she will. She's getting closer and closer. She stares at Jacob hard, and I can almost feel the anger inside him. Finally, she gets to me.
"O'NIELL" she says, very slowly, and calmly "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU WOULD TRY SOME PATHETIC, FUTILE RESCUE. I WAS EXPECTING MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN THIS THOUGH" she gives a very small laugh, and continues "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE STILL TRYING THOUGH. I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE" she bends down, still smiling, and whispers in my ear "NOTHING OF THE HOST SURVIVES"
I can't take it anymore. I jump up, and lunge for her. "That's a damn lie and you know it!" I yell, but the Jaffa already have a hold on me. One of them points his staff weapon at me, but she signals to let it go, and instead they force me down to the ground.
I look at the floor now. I refuse to look at her, because I know that if I do, I won't be able to control myself.
She paces up and down again. She gets to Daniel. "WHAT IS THE ACCESS CODE FOR YOUR IRIS?" she says. Daniel says nothing, just looks straight ahead. "ANSWER ME!" she yells. Still he says nothing. She gets to Jacob "WHAT ARE THE CO-ORDINATES FOR THE TOK'RA HOMEWORLD?" he stares at the floor, just the same as I do. She's getting pissed off now.
"TAKE THEM AWAY!" She signals to her first prime. They start to lead us away, until she says "WAIT. LEAVE O'NIELL HERE" She offers no further explanation, so they do as she says. The familiar feeling of dread comes over me, and the worry that I might not be able to prevent myself from revealing anything.
She still hasn't said anything. She just stands there smiling. Eventually, she saunters over to a small golden table in the corner of the room, and picks something up. I don't even have to look. I know what it is. She slips the hand device slowly on to her wrist, and walks back over to me.
"YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW O'NIELL. WHAT IS YOUR GDO CODE?"
I still don't answer her. And then it comes. The intense pain that I knew it would bring. All over my body I feel white hot knives stabbing in to me, and my head feels like it's about to explode. Pain runs through my body, coursing up and down my veins. Just when I get to the point when I think I can stand it no longer, the pain subsides. She's stopped. For now.
"THAT IS ONLY A TASTE OF WHAT IS TO COME TAU'RI" She says.
"You can torture me all you want, I won't tell you anything" I reply, even though in my heart I know I can't take much more of this.
"VERY WELL" she says "SIT DOWN" She signals at the chair beside her. I don't move. I can't work out what her game is yet, and until I can, I'm not going to move. She signals at a Jaffa in the corner, and he leaves the room. Within a few moments he is back, carrying a jug full of a liquid that looks suspiciously familiar.
"YOU MUST BE DYING TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST" She whispers to me. "TAKE SOME" I still don't move. She signals to the Jaffa again, and he grabs my hair, forcing my head backwards. I feel the liquid slide down my throat, and all I can do is pray and pray that I don't reveal anything.
I sink to the floor. My mind suddenly feels fuzzy and clouded. I try to think about what I'm doing, but I suddenly become very tired. I try to focus on her, but my vision goes all blurry. I can hear her laughing, but the sound suddenly becomes very muffled. I feel my body fall to floor, but I don't feel the pain that comes with it. Slowly, I feel my self drift out of consciousness, and the world fades to grey.

"Jack?" I hear someone calling my name. The voice sounds familiar, but not one I've heard in a long time. I try to open my eyes, but they've become very heavy.
"Jack?" There it is again. I force my eyes open, but my body still feels too heavy to lift. There is a figure standing over me, but my eyes are still blurry. Slowly they refocus, and I gasp when I see who it is.
It's Sam. Not Goa'uld Sam, but Sam. My Sam. She smiles at me.
"I thought you were a Goa'uld" I say faintly "What's going on?" She presses a finger lightly to my lips, and smiles again.
"Jack, it's OK. I'm all better now. The Goa'uld is gone" I suddenly realize what she's said, and drag my body up, despite its protesting.
"Oh, Sam, I thought I'd lost you" I say to her, feeling the sobs coming. She pulls me in to an embrace, and rock back and forth, very slightly.
"Shhh, it's OK, you didn't lose me. I'll never leave you Jack" She releases me from the embrace, and looks in to my eyes, raising her hand to stroke my cheek.
"Sam" I say "I have to tell you. I have to tell you how I feel"
"It's OK" She says. "I know. And I feel the same" Her lips brush mine, and I pull her towards me. I kiss her properly now, and hold her tightly. Her hands brush through my hair, and come to rest on my shoulders.
She pulls back, and looks at me "Jack, we need to get back through the gate. We've got to hurry" A tiny flicker of doubt begins to form in my mind. I want to dismiss it, because I feel so happy, but I can't.
"Jack" She says "I need the iris code. I can't get back home unless I have the iris code."
"Why do you need to know that?" I say "You already know" She starts to get angry.
"Jack, just give it to me. GIVE IT TO ME!!" Her eyes flash, and the Goa'uld resurfaces.
"PERHAPS THE TOK'RA WILL BE MORE FORTHCOMING" She says, her eyes glittering with disappointment and rage. "TAKE HIM AWAY!" She yells to the Jaffa.
