"Well this is great, open air, not to many trees, very few people to make
mad, I could learn to live like this." Colonel O'Neil said, throwing rocks
into the stream they had set up camp by. "Don't you guys agree that a man
could really learn to breathe and-" Carter hit him in the arm.
"With all do respect...SIR, shut up."
"Well Major, you're getting close to insubordination there, if I were you, I'd learn to respect my CO!" He responded with a grin.
"Well sir, I don't think you could deal with my explanations, if you were me."
"Indeed O'Neil, Major Carter seems to be correct." Teal'c said in all seriousness. "Daniel Jackson, what seems to be disturbing you?"
"Way to change the subject T!" Jack supplied.
"Teal'c I'm aright, I was just reading, I think I'm finally getting somewhere with this translation." Daniel held his book up; there was a mixture of words and meaningless scribbles all over the page.
"Its getting dark sir, maybe we should call it a night?" Daniel smiled thankfully at Sam for changing the subject.
"Aright kids, Teal'c you have the first watch, I'll take second, Daniel, you have third, and Carter, you have fourth and breakfast duty. Now off to bed, see ya bright and early!" Sam went into her tent first. When she was gone Jack turned to Daniel, "Wanna go for a walk with me real fast Daniel?" He didn't wait for an answer; he just grabbed a 9mm and started walking. Reluctantly Daniel followed.
"What'd you want Jack?" Daniel asked, knowing what he was going to say.
"Well actually, I uh..." Jack stopped and looked Daniel in the eye, "I had an...uh... visitor last night."
"What are you talking about?" Daniel looked at his friend as if he was crazy.
"Yeah, it, err... she, was your wife."
Daniel was taken aback from this information, "Whoa... What?" He stuttered.
"She said she'd already seen you... uh did she see you last night?"
"Well yes." They had stopped talking and just stood there.
"So did she tell you about-"
"About the girl, yeah." He shoved his hands deep into his pockets.
"So what are we gonna do about this?"
"Find her, I guess." With out another word they both turned around and headed back to the camp and went into their separate tents.
"Daniel, get up." Jack commanded standing over Daniel in his tent. He nudged him with his foot. "Doctor," he said in a quiet but stern whisper, "Up and at-um!" To this Daniel awoke, his face was pale and he was covered in sweat.
"Sorry Jack." Daniel got up, put on his glasses and headed out of his tent to take his watch.
"Its OK Daniel," Jack said following after him, "Don't worry about it!" With that he gave a toothy grin and set off the go to bed. "Night." He called over his shoulder as he entered his tent.
After about two hours Sam came outside to relieve Daniel of his duties. She could hear his voice but she couldn't really see him that well, there was a bright light in front of him, And he appeared to be in a deep conversation. She approached them quietly and slowly, Sam couldn't recognize the face at first but it came to her quickly, it was the woman she had seen in the picture on Daniel's bed side table so many times before, but this was different, she had a glow to her, a very bright almost blinding glow. "What the..." She stood to listen for a second before telling of her presents to them. "Daniel... is that..."
"Yeah, it is."
"Samantha Carter, you are a good friend of my Daniel's?" Sha're asked with a serious face.
"Yes, I am." Sam said slowly then added, "He is like a brother to me."
"Then you must help him, he needs you." she turned to Daniel, "Husband, I am sorry but I must not tell you more, I have told you to much already. Good Bye Husband." There was a flash of bright light and she was gone.
Daniel slumped down onto the ground. "I'm sorry I came when I did Daniel, I should have left when I saw you two talking, I had no right to interfere." Sam apologized.
"No don't be sorry Sam, she wanted to talk to you anyway."
"Was she a ghost, Daniel?" Sam's face was pale as she spoke and getting paler.
"No not really, she said she is ascended, don't ask how because I don't know. She said she heard someone saying she didn't deserve the life she had lived and that they wanted to give her a chance at something better. So in a way she is not even dead, never was. Still she can't give us anymore information about the girl..."
"I guess that's a good thing, you should get to sleep, I'll make coffee for you in the morning."
Daniel smiled. "Make a lot!" They laughed and Daniel left to get some rest.
She was watching him as he slept, and she longed for him to be able to hold her again. In a way she could hear his thoughts and see his dreams. He was having a nightmare; she hovered over him whispering for him to calm down. It worked his sleep became deep and dream less. When she was sure he was going to be OK for the time being she went to check on her daughter.
Some how she had managed to take control of her body while she was host to Ammonet just long enough to hide the girl when she was an infant. She could feel the child in her arms as she hovered over her. How badly she felt! Her sweet little girl had been captured and the demons that captured her were using a goa'uld device to double her age. Bella was six and a half years old, but appeared both physically and mentally to be about fourteen. Her hair was brown and fell to just under her shoulders, her eyes were deep blue and her completion was creamy and perfect, without blemishes. She was not thin but not fat and she was smart. Her mother was proud of her. But slowly she was dyeing the devices used on her had almost entirely wiped out her immune system.
"Soon," she whispered to the sleeping girl, "Soon they will come, soon you will be alright once more. I Love You Daughter."
The light in the girl's room faded and went out, which woke her up. She knew who had been in her room she felt it. A tear rolled down her cheek as she remembered what was happening. She stared at the sky out her window for a little while longer, and then she fell into a deep sleep. She dreamt of him coming to save her, she knew he'd love her forever, he'd protect her, at least she hoped.
"With all do respect...SIR, shut up."
"Well Major, you're getting close to insubordination there, if I were you, I'd learn to respect my CO!" He responded with a grin.
"Well sir, I don't think you could deal with my explanations, if you were me."
