Chapter 8 - Unacceptance
They were brought forward to Baal at once. The Goa'uld was more than roused about their try to escape. But he did not do what Jack expected, he did not attack him in the first place. Most of his wrath unloaded on Sam.
"Stupid thing", he growled pulling her forward by grabbing her wrist. Sam fought him, but she had no chance against him.
"How dare you defying your god? You have sworn obedience to me", he slapped her face making her fall to the floor. She was on her knees shaking burying her face in her hands, as she took them away again Jack saw the blood on them. A moment later he saw where it was coming from: one of her cheeks was almost completely covered with blood, some of the veins seemed to have burst.
Out of reflex Jack jumped forward. "Leave her", he called to Baal. He tried to get to Sam, but two of the guards were holding him back.
The Goa'uld did not care for him. He forced Sam further to the ground by tearing on her hair. She was now almost on the lying floor before Baal. Her face buried in her hands again she was struggling against her pain.
"You have committed high treason. For this you will die; after I'm finished punishing you for disappointing me like that."
Sam looked up at him defiantly muttering, "You won't do that."
For this statement she took in even more. Baal kicked her side making her fall onto her back. She lay there motionless, unable to get up.
"I thought you were smarter", he looked at her with glowing eyes.
"Smart enough not to accept this fate", Sam brought out weakly.
Suddenly the ground started shaking. The base seemed to be attacked. Jack took the moment to tear away from the Jaffa. He jumped forward landing by Sam's side, pulling her away from Baal.
His pain began to return, but though he ran out of the room carrying her immediately followed by Jonas.
This was the last chance for all of them to escape alive and in one piece. Motivated by this thought Jack sprinted through the corridors...
To be continued. This is going to be exciting people...
