'They took Reuben' I read the one sentence message I just got from a passing worker written on a tiny piece of cloth.
"Hey." I jump as a voice suddenly greets me from behind.
"Sam," I sighed as I see the younger woman looking at me in expectation. "An old woman's heart." I give a small giggle to show her I'm not angry, just startled.
"What's that?" she picks up the piece of rag I apparently dropped. "From Alanna?" She asks even though she probably knows. I nod anyway. She reads the message again.
"Reuben?"
"Her friend. He is the only one who knows her secret. He looks after her."
She thinks about this for a while. "Where did they take him?"
"I cannot be sure, most probably to the master. He will become one of them now." I indicate one of the guards standing at the door.
"A Jaffa?"
"If that is what you call them. Yes."
She seems to consider this for a while. "Can you send messages back to her?"
I nodded.
"I need you to ask her to look for a man named Daniel Jackson."
"Here." Daniel hands me my bowl with food before flopping down next to me against the wall. I nod my thank you and start eating in silence.
"You know where they take them don't you?" He asks suddenly breaking the silence. We haven't talked at all since they've brought us back to the cell. Partly because I was too upset about the day that has passed and partly because we don't have much to tell one another.
I nod in response to Daniel's question. "I think" I added just as a precaution.
"Most of the people they have taken have come back as guards or Jaffa as you call them."
Daniel is silent for a while.
"Alanna." I drop my bowl at the sound of my name, my real name. I jump up looking back at this stranger in horror.
He gets up as well his hands up in defence. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"
"How?" I ask quietly retreating into the corner of the room pushing myself back as far as I can into it.
"Reuben told me." He didn't come closer, he was standing there almost looking frightened himself by my reaction. Or what my reaction might be.
"How much?"
"Everything, I think."
"What?"
"That you're a girl, although I kinda expected that from the start, that you can do things that normal people can't, that I should take care of you if something happens to him. Something has happened Alanna, and I'm not going to lie to you, it's bad." I sink down to the floor again.
"You think I don't know that?" I felt like crying again. This is really bad. He is not supposed to know, Reuben shouldn't have told him, he promised.
Daniel took a step closer. "Don't." I said holding my hand up in protection.
He stepped back again.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"I can help you."
"No you can't. Just leave me alone." He took another step towards me. The bowl went flying straight for his head. He dived to the floor and it missed him, instead clattering against the opposite wall.
"Leave me alone."
"Okay." He barely whispered sitting up slowly and crawling toward his corner near the door.
She is scared of me. Reuben said it would take a while to gain her trust but he failed to mention how hard it would be. She's been sitting in that same corner staring into space for the past hour or so. I haven't moved from my spot either, mainly for safety reasons, don't want a dinner bowl knocking me unconscious. What she did, or how she did it stunned me. I have seen weird things before… but this? I have this theory but I could be wrong, I don't know anything about her history. But if I'm right. What if Nirrti did succeed? What if she did create a super human being? This girl is younger than Cassandra, maybe she survived the virus and became whatever Cassandra was meant to become.
"Aleron." I say quietly trying not to startle her.
"I thought I'm Alanna now." She says looking up at me.
"Where did you live before you came here?"
"Why?"
"Does it matter?"
"No."
"Where then?"
"Reona"
"Were you born there?"
"No."
"Where were you born?"
"Hanka."
