Author's Note: I think this is like the shortest chapter in this story so
far. I just wanted to get them outside, and then go into another aspect of
this planet. *shrug* I hope you are enjoying this story so far. I sure
have liked writing it.

"Wise mother, what are you displeased about?" Liz asked Laura in a hushed voice.
Shifting her weight, Laura replied, "The storms are growing worse, and I fear for our lives."
Laura locked eyes with Liz and glanced out the window without moving her head quickly. Liz blinked acknowledgement and smiled.
"Then perhaps we should go tell the others of your fear for them."
Walking back to her friends with some water, she handing it to them and stood back up; she had to find a way to get them to go outside. Laura was obviously pensive about something, and she wanted to find out what.
"Sir, I would like to show you around my planet. I believe we should go outside now before another storm appears on the horizon. There are a few cliffs with footholds if we wish to climb as well", Liz looked from the group to the door and back in one smooth motion.

Finishing his water, Colonel O'Neill stood and put his cap on his head, "Of course lieutenant."
The group walked outside together and away from the house.
"Care to explain what kind of footholds, Tucker?" Jack asked Elizabeth sternly.
He was worried, and yet curious to learn how this 'peaceful planet' could have a foothold situation. There was defiantly something that she wasn't telling them.
"Colonel O'Neill, when you people left me here, I was indeed deceased. They saved my life with a sarcophagus that was left by a goa'uld calling herself Sellet. She creates bad sandstorms, bugs the houses, and takes people one at a time for who knows what. Of course, sir, we all believed that was all legend, because she didn't show up for so long; but now she's back", Liz finally shared her story, looking past Jack with a strange look in her eyes.
"And you didn't think about telling us sooner!?" Jack asked, his anger rising.
She looked as if she wasn't paying him any attention. He was getting angrier and so he stepped directly in front of her face.
"Do you hear me, lieutenant?" He asked, raising his voice.
Daniel stepped in, "Jack, why don't you back off of her? She lost her husband out here before she came back."
Jack took a step backwards, not knowing what to say.
