Wow! I'm shocked! The reviews I've been getting are just fabulous! I'm glad that you are enjoying this story, I'm glad I can entertain you all because that's what I'm striving to do. Special thanks to Lalene Brooks for the interesting review and story. That is TRUE darkness! Enjoy this chapter... (sorry... the plot doesn't progress much). Enjoy!

SG-1 returns to the safety of the SGC to find something is wrong. The power is out, the gate room is a mess and everyone is missing.

Empty Halls: Nightmares

O'Neill was the first to his feet. In the darkness he couldn't even see his hand an inch from his face. "Carter? Teal'c? Daniel?" No response. Maybe they were still out? O'Neill searched the floor for his team but found nothing. Maybe they were knocked further down the hall? O'Neill slowly walked down the hall, guiding himself by dragging his hand along the wall. He found no sign of his team. He turned the corner and the hallway was illuminated by a beam of light that shone from the crack under a door. He approached the door and turned the handle, it opened easily. He went through the door and found himself in the unmistakable golden hallways of a Ha'tak. The only comfort he had was the fact it was no longer dark. He wandered the halls and came upon a door. He opened it and went in. There, standing in front of the throne was a sight that made the colonel's heart sink.

"Charlie?" The colonel choked out. The young boy stood tall before the throne. He was silent, but stared toward the colonel with hate in his eyes. "Charlie?" The colonel tried again and began to approach his son.

"Cree!" The boy shouted. "Pitiful Tau'ri. You will fall to our awesome power, you and all you hold dear!" The boy's eyes glowed as he raised a Zat and fired. The colonel was frozen in terror and didn't even attempt to move. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was his son firing a second time.

Daniel woke with a start and looked around in the darkness. "Guys?" He called and got no response. "OK, so they left without me, how typical." He looked around for a few minutes before he decided to go look somewhere else. He wandered around for a few minutes, banging into walls before he realized he was lost. "Great, just great! Lost in my own base!" He then heard a voice behind him; a very familiar one. He followed it and soon the hallway grew brighter and he found himself in Egypt. No, he realized, he was on Abydos and the voice that was calling to him now had a form. Sha're.

"Sha're?" He moved closer to her and she smiled. He reached out to touch her but she pulled away violently.

"Why didn't you save me?" She asked.

"I tried, oh how I tried!"

"You save others, but not me?"

"I would do anything to save you!"

"You died for strangers, but you wouldn't die for me?" Daniel said nothing. "How could I have ever loved you?" She spat the words at him and turned away. She began walking into the desert and Daniel tried to follow her.

"Sha're! Sha're!" He called. Soon he'd lost sight of her as the sand whipped around him. A deadly sandstorm began with him caught in the middle. The sand began tearing at his clothes and biting at his skin. The last word to escape his lips before the pain overcame him was "Sha're".

Teal'c got to his feet quickly after the beast left and immediately searched the darkness for his team. With no luck he carefully moved through the halls. He closed his eyes so he wouldn't try to rely on that useless sense in the darkness. The moment he closed his eyes, light flooded around him. He opened his eyes and knew where he was. Apophis's throne room onboard his lead Ha'tak. He felt the weight of his first prime outfit resting on his shoulders. He moved to the window and looked out. He saw Earth below and at least ten Ha'taks above.

"Teal'c, below you lays our new home!" Apophis declared. "The Tau'ri are no more. You have done me proud." Teal'c turned around and aimed his staff weapon at his once god. He fired. The blast was absorbed by a force shield.

"Teal'c, I need you no longer." Apophis raised his hand and aimed his ribbon device.

"I die free."

"The Jaffa will never be free!" Teal'c hit the wall with such force; he didn't remember hitting the ground.

Sam awoke and the first thing she did was search her vest for the glo-stick she knew she had. She cracked it and a few minutes later the area around her was visible. She could see now and she liked what she saw. The instant her glo-stick was bright enough, all the lights at the SGC flicked back on and the day was normal again.

She was then walking down the hall which was odd because she didn't want to be walking. She wanted to search for her friends. She walked down the halls and the personnel waved to her kindly. She waved back, wait a minute, no she didn't. She wanted to but her hand wouldn't move. It was like she had no control over her body. Then she felt it, no, him. He was in control and he was laughing at her.

"Finally awake?" He said to her mind.

"What's going on?" She replied with no voice.

"I thought you would've already guessed it, seeing as you were a host to that Tok'ra."

Suddenly she knew. He was a Goa'uld and she was no longer in control of her own body. She began fighting him.

"Don't struggle, it's useless." She fought harder as she watched where they were going. They had reached the gate room; the colonel, Daniel and Teal'c were already waiting for her. They were heading out on a mission.

"Now, I will end the Tau'ri reign of destruction." He told her and she felt his hands grasping her P-90. In an instant, it was over. Her friends fell dead in front of her, her own gun smoking. Soon the airmen entered, but the Goa'uld expected that. He took control of her voice and hand and drew her pistol.

"Goodbye." He announced to Carter and everyone in hearing distance as he placed the pistol against her head. Then, he pulled the trigger.

"What the hell was that?" The colonel shouted as he awoke in the dark hallway again.

"I don't know sir." Carter's voice pierced the darkness.

"Daniel?" O'Neill asked.

"Present." Daniel replied even though he couldn't see the colonel.

"I am here as well, O'Neill." Teal'c's voice was the most controlled of the group. All the rest's trembled with the memories of what just happened.

"Did anyone else just..." The colonel didn't finish.

"Nightmare?" Carter suggested.

"Oh yeah." Daniel piped up.

"I also had a disturbing dream."

"What the hell is going on?"
