Chapter 4: The Land Of The Light
Marks POV
I awoke in a dark room. I was strapped down to the table, for once I wished I had Andy's talent for moving objects but knowing that I would one day loose the gift I had no desire to learn how to control it as she did, I could move small objects for a short amount of time but nothing on the level I needed now, I regretted that now. Now I regretted a lot of things, I wish I had hugged Andy more gotten to know Sam and dad a little better, I wish that we had never drifted apart. I can't change that now, but if, no when I get out of here I will. A bright light flared into existence burning my eyes that had adjusted to the darkness. A voice echoed through the room.
"Mr. Carter, How are you this morning?"
He only addressed me I'm going to assume that that means Andy is ok, and free. I choose not to respond.
"Come now Mark this is no way to treat an old friend." I looked over as he walked into the light.
"Alex.Alexander Penwood?" I croaked. I'm startled at the sound of my own voice. "You!" By now my surprise had worn off and was replaced with anger. "How could you?!"
Normal POV
"Come now Mark" Alex walked further into the room closer to Mark. He was not alone. "Clam down there is someone here that wants to met you." He held his hand out to the darkness a woman grasped it and walked towards Mark so he could see her.
"Anne?"
"You remember me, I'm flattered."
"You were my first love."
"I should have been your wife!" Her eyes grew cold. As her anger was released onto Mark. "Do you have any idea what it's been like? To know that your children should have been mine as well!" She slapped him when he did not answer right away. "Well answer me!"
"I could have never married you."
Anne reached out to strike him again; Alex grabbed her hand. "There are many things I wish to know about his abilities that will be hard to do if he is injured."
"We'll use my daughter." This time both Alex and Mark looked as it they were in the dark. "Andromeda should be coming to stay with us for a while should she not Mark?"
"Andy?! Leave her out of this!"
"Come now my beloved, she is already in to deep. It is only a matter of time before we have her, and she will never go by that boyish name again do you hear me?" Her voice held malice and threat in it.
"Andy" He used her nickname purposely "Is not yours! She never was and never will be! She is free and she'll stay that way!"
"Ah but someone has already betrayed you." Alex looked down at his old friend. He turned to Anne. "If I may have a moment to catch up with my dear friend?" She smiled and left.
"She's crazy, thinking that Andy's hers." Mark struggled against the tight bonds, trying to find a comfortable position on the cold hard table. Alex with one motion had them lower the bright light in his eyes and turn on the house lights.
"I agree, but that is besides the point, she is one of the brightest people in the field. Her obsession with you and your daughter did put us off at first but we found no other way. He only demand was that we capture and deliver her 'daughter' Andromeda to her."
"Your going to go through with it aren't you?"
"Well there are some things we need to learn from Andy first but then yes after that she will be handed over to Anne."
"God damn you Alex! I hope you rot in hell for this! Why did you betray Andy and I? Your best friend and Goddaughter!"
"Mark, I had to. I know that you wouldn't agree to this. I first found out about Andy, I noticed her lifting something out of a tree once in your backyard. After that I began watching you both closely and I found I wanted to know more."
"So your going to use us to get what you want?"
"Yes."
Mark leaned his head against the metal table. A tear went down his cheek.
"Who betrayed me? Who told where Andy was?"
"Ah that I can not tell you. I promised."
"So break it! You broke the one you made to me!"
Knowing what he was getting at Alex simply replied, "Andy has come to no harm."
"But she will! What will Anne do when Andy doesn't accept her as her mother? I know Andy won't!"
"That will be up to Anne to decide," A dark shadow crossed Alex's face, he knew Mark was onto something "Perhaps she'll give up on you two then?"
Mark didn't comment, they both knew what Andy's fate was if she didn't go along with Anne once she was handed over.

Andy walked around the gate room in awe. She wore the same gear that the rest of SG-1 wore with the exception of badges and weapons. O'Neill walked in with Jackson as they began to dial the stargate.
"Teal'c" General Hammond's voice came over the intercom "I hope Drey'auc and Rya'c are well. SG-1" they finished the dialing sequence and the gate opened. Andy's eyes widened in shock. "You have a go."
"Come on Andy." Sam took her shoulder and led her to the event horizon; Dr. Frasier was on her other side. Sam and Andy stood at the horizon Teal'c, Dr. Frasier, and Jackson all walked through. Col. O'Neill stood on Andy's right while Sam stayed on her left.
"It's amazing!" She exclaimed. She then started to launch into a long- winded talk; the same one Sam herself gave on her first mission.
"For cryin out loud." O'Neil pushed the young girl into the gate. Andy gave a startled cry before she disappeared into the gate. Sam moved in front of Jack.
"Sir!" Was all she got out before Jack pushed her in as well. He then walked into the gate without a second pause.
General Hammond watched all this from the room. He silently laughed at it all. A small smile escaped form his lips. He quickly pushed it away there was too much at risk right now. "Lt. contact the Tok'ra inform Jacob Carter where his daughter and grand daughter are and their situation is. He might be able to help to contact the Asguard."
As SG-1 walked through the other side of the stargate Rya'c and Drey'auc were there waiting for them along with a small group of people from the Land of the Light.
"SG-1 we welcome you to the land of the light once again." They walked from the darkness into the light. "We are a little unsure of what has brought you here however. And who is this new member of your group?"
O'Neill spoke up "This is Andromeda Carter, Major Carter's niece."
"Niece?"
Jackson spoke up "The daughter of Major Carter's brother. She is looking after her."
"I'm 18 and I don't need someone to 'look after' me I can do that myself.I.I just need a place to stay and think things through." She held her high and kept on walking.
/stubborn/ Col. O'Neill thought /Like her aunt. / "Anyway she's in trouble and we needed to get her off planet till things cool off."
"Well she is welcome here."
"Teal'c my husband, how long will you be here?"
"Yes father how long will you be staying?" Rya'c looked up at his father.
"Our time limit has not yet been set."
"Why don't you stay with us while you are here then? Our house is more than big enough to fit all of us."
Teal'c turned to O'Neill "Sure why not.unless you had something else arranged for us."
"We had nothing due to your visit being so sudden."
"Alright lead on."
The group walked onto Drey'auc's house. "Is you should need anything just let us know." With that the group of people from the land of light left.
"So you are Andromeda Carter?" Rya'c asked.
"Yes, but I would prefer it if you called me Andy."
"Andy. All right."
"What is your name?"
"Rya'c. Teal'c is my father and that is my mother Drey'auc." He pointed over to her.
Andy held out her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Rya'c just looked at her hand. Finally she picked it up and showed him the handshake. "It's how we say hello." Rya'c just smiled. She turned and did a half bow to Drey'auc. "Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home Drey'auc."
"Your welcome. I'm happy to have people here." Rya'c grabbed her arm and dragged her off.
"Come on I'll show around a bit." As he dragged her out the door O'Neill nodded to Daniel.
"Follow them, and keep her outta trouble." Jackson just nodded and left. After a moment in silence Drey'auc spoke.
"She is very polite. She looks a lot like you Major Carter."
"I suppose she does look a little like me." Sam said looking out the door.
"Don't worry Carter she'll be fine, and she's almost a double of you."
Quickly changing the topic Samantha said "Well she has been raised to be polite though she can overdo it. She could be a diplomat with her manners."
"It will be a pleasure to have her here, but tell me why did you have to come so quickly?"
Sam looked down at the floor while Teal'c simply looked at O'Neill.
"She's in trouble. Our government is looking for her. The Asguard did something and now we have to find them so they can undo what they did and she can return to earth."
"I don't fully understand but you are welcome here."

Anne sat looking down at her love. /I know that you never loved me the way you did her. But Andromeda will me my daughter. She will be made into an image of a picture perfect woman. Mark you could never keep my child away from me, never. You will watch as she comes back to me her true mother. /
Yeah.someone has some mental issues to take care of here *Cough* Anne *Cough* . So are Alex and Anne with the government? Or is this a whole new problem for Andromeda to over come? Who has leaked Andy's whereabouts to Alex? Will she be safe in the land of the light? Lemme know if you think the Characters are too OOC or if you think this should go in a different direction. Sorry for the late update.working for 8 hours will kill your writing life.
