Thank you for the lovely reviews, they are really sweet. My first exam is tomorrow – English, would you believe, so I am practicing my creative writing. At least, that's my excuse if anyone asks why I'm not revising, lol. Anyway, here's chapter 3!!
"I'll do it" She says.
"You sure this is what you want?"
"I'm sure" she says, and I know she's telling the truth. She looks scared as hell, but I know she wants to do it.
"We'd better go tell the others then".
Chapter 3
I watch her changing in to the costume that Daniel gave her. Apparently we have to make this really convincing, so she had to get dressed up as a Goa'uld. She also had to be taken to the planet in handcuffs, as she's meant to be our prisoner.
I watch looking at herself is the mirror, trying to decide if she looks like a Goa'uld or not. I watch her as she takes her engagement ring off, like she does every morning, and slips on to the same chain as her dog tags. She always does this before a mission, because she's terrified of losing it. But she says that wearing it on her dog tags chain means it's close to her heart.
She turns to face me now. She's white with fear, and looks faintly sick. I take her hands in my own. They're freezing. I squeeze them slightly, and she smiles in response.
"No matter what happens, I love you" I say to her, and she wraps her arms around me tightly.
"I know" She says "I love you too" I'm not sure how long we've been standing like this, just holding on to each other. It could have been five minutes; it could have been half an hour. All I know is that we stayed like that until we eventually spring apart as Daniel steps in to the room.
We made a promise to each other when we first got together that we would remain completely professional on base: she would call me "sir"; I would call her "Carter". Stuff like that. But she looked so lost and terrified that I couldn't help it this time. Daniel looks at us and clears his throat.
"You ready to go?" He says gently, taking in the dress she is wearing, and the voice synthesizer thing they've hooked her up to, to make her sound like a Goa'uld. Sam nods her head, and lets go of my hand.
We walk silently towards the gate room, and as her breath quickens I remember this is the first time she's been in there since we brought her back from that damn planet. As we step in to the gate room, I take her hand again, not caring if it's damn professional or not. She nods gratefully.
"SG1, you have a go" Comes Hammond's voice from the control room, and we step up to the ramp.
"You're ready??" I say to her.
"I'm ready" She replies, and we step through the gate.
