Nightmares.

** The guard threw open the wooden door of the cell with a bang. He sneered at the figure crouched in the corner and slid a bowl of food across the floor. Turning on his heel, he walked out, slamming the door shut after him.

Brianna crawled across the floor to the bowl and guzzled down the cold soup and stale bread. Before she had a chance to crawl back to her safe place, the door flew open and the guard grabbed her by the wrist.

"Hello Missy." He said huskily. He grabbed her other wrist and pinned her to the floor.

"Don't try to stop me girl, you're already weak from that beating you're father gave you." He managed to rip her tattered dress to show her front. "You've been a bad girl."

Moving quickly, he undid his belt and slid his trousers to his ankles.

"Ain't you going to cry for help? No?" He gave the squirming girl a toothless grin and spread her legs. **

Brianna shot up in her bed screaming and sweating. Daniel and Jack were the first to enter the observation room she was staying in. She saw them and climbed off the bed and backed away into the corner of the room shaking and muttering under her breath.

"No! Go away!" She cried at them as they tried to get closer to her. Her face showed pure fear. Sam and Janet had followed Jack and Daniel into the room and were now pushing the man out of the way. The men walked out of the room and went up to the viewing gallery to watch from a safe distance.

"Brianna, honey, what happened?" Janet asked soothingly creeping closer to the girl.

By now the tears were streaming down Brianna's cheeks and she had stopped muttering incoherent words to her self. She allowed Sam to sit next to her and pull her into an embrace while Janet sat at her feet with her hands on her knees.

"What happened? Did you have a nightmare?" Sam whispered.

Brianna nodded her head against Sam's shoulder.

"About what happened on your planet?" Asked Janet.

She nodded again still crying.

"Okay, it's all over now alright? You're safe with us."

Brianna sniffed. "It was horrible, he...he..."

"It's okay, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to." Sam whispered.

"We should get you back to bed." Janet smiled helping Sam get the girl up.

"Don't go." She whispered.

"We won't, but you have to get into bed."

----------------------

Half an hour later Janet walked into the viewing gallery to talk to Daniel and Jack. She looked down at the sleeping girl and the sleeping major on the bed next to her.

"What was that about?" Jack asked.

"Nightmare, something that happened to her on the planet. She didn't say what but I think it could have something to do with her rape."

"How did you figure that out?"

"The way she reacted to you guys, it wasn't a reaction to being beaten up that's for sure." She sighed. "Well she's asleep now, along with Sam so I think it's safe to say that if she has another nightmare she will be in safe hands. Bed, now!"

"Aww, but Doc..."

"No but Doc's, you are going to bed whether I have to sedate you of not."

"Can't we just stay here a bit? They look so peaceful."

"And so will you when you're asleep! Look, Daniel is already dozing off in his chair, get yourself and Daniel to your respective rooms and get some sleep."

"Fine. Danny up now!"

"Go away Jack." The sleepy archaeologist moaned.

Jack gabbed him by the collar and hauled him past Fraiser with her biggest needle in her hand and out of the room.

Janet stood for a moment looking down at the two sleeping figures and smiled, before heading out to her own bed for some well earned rest.
