DISCLAIMER: The characters of Stargate SG-1 are not mine. So if you sue me for playing with them, you sure won't get much out of me.
SUMMARY: This would take place in the current season. Of course, I'm not now nor have I ever been a fan of the Pete/ Sam relationship. I saw the hurt in Jack's eyes when she told him that Pete had asked her to marry him. Anyway, I've often thought that Daniel needs a new love interest. Especially since they keep killing off the women that he falls for. So, with that in mind, Daniel and Sam are captured by a Go'auld and imprisioned. There they meet the youngest two children of a local chieftain. The daughter is the only female child he has. She is treasured by her tribe and is known to have immense psychic powers. Daniel falls in love with her and she convinces her father to let her travel to earth to be with Daniel. Let's just see what happens after that.
The young woman stirred restlessly in her spot by the wall. She had her back against the wall as usual. The young man who was seated next to her reminded Colnel Samantha Carter somewhat of her friend, Teal'c. He was alert and watchful, appearing to be extremely protective of the woman. A door slid open and a trough (for lack of a better term) of food (kind of) was shoved into the dungeon room. One man stepped forward to fill two bowls. When he stepped back from the trough, the others crowded around it to get their food.
He stepped over in front of the two of them. "Your Highnesses, please forgive my boldness but I have brought you breakfast."
As the young man took both bowls from him, the young woman spoke, her voice lyrical but weak. "Thank you. Our people have been most kind and thoughtful throughout our imprisonment."
The man nodded as well. "Yes. Thank you." As the other stepped away from the two of them, he turned to his sister. "She'tiana, you must keep up your strength. Please eat."
"Talorn, I do not feel well. Please eat. You must stay strong in case we find a way to escape." With that, the young woman curled her legs up under her and turned away from Talorn. Sam and Daniel, who sat next to her in a corner across the room from the two young people, saw that she had manacles on her wrists and ankles attached to the wall by ridiculously long chains. The young man sighed and started to eat the food in the bowls, still watching his sister with worried eyes.
"Daniel, are you wondering the same thing I am?"
"Why is this one young woman, who seems to be very weak, the only one in chains?"
"Precisely."
Just then, a poor looking woman stopped in front of the strangers. "The young woman in chains is the only daughter of our chieftain, Da'norn, the Princess She'tiana. The other is her twin brother, Prince Talorn."
"Why is she in chains?" Daniel asked, confused. "Shouldn't it be her brother that's in chains?"
"Mnimi believes that, by keeping her here, she could force the chieftain to follow her orders. He would never do anything to allow harm to come to the princess. Talorn stays here to protect her and make sure that the evil ones do not harm his twin."
Suddenly, a yell came from the other side of the room. "Shey! Shey! Wake up Shey!"
Sam and Daniel scrambled to their feet and rushed to his side in the hopes of being of some kind of assistance. Talorn was cradling Shey, sweeping the hair back from her face. "Shey, wake up. Please wake up."
Sam knelt beside him. "What happened?"
"She went to sleep. She won't wake up."
Sam reached out as if to take Shey. Talorn jerked back, still clinging to her. Patiently, Sam tried to explain. "I'm a doctor. If you let me see her, I might be able to help."
Hesitantly, Talorn handed his precious sister to the stranger. Sam checked her pulse and breathing. Suddenly, Shey started crying, great heaving sobs.
"Why did he leave me? After everything we've been through..... Why? Why?" Sam drew back a little at hearing the words from the woman's mouth.
Daniel was seriously puzzled as he stared at Sam. He had long known that Sam had feelings for General Jack O'Neill that she shouldn't have but he never realized that it was so strong. "What is going on?"
Talorn spoke up. "Sometimes Shey can channel previous experiences or memories from someone who touches her. Usually it's memories or feelings that they have a hard time dealing with or refuse to deal with."
Sam held Shey out to Talorn, who took her gently into his arms and cradled her. "If she can touch these feelings in you, you must deal with them. Otherwise, they will someday cause many problems. Shey is a wonderous healer for our people."
Sam sat back on her heels, feeling the tears burn her eyes and knowing that she couldn't deal with these feelings right now. She had to escape. To get back to the SGC and the man that she wanted but could never have.
