CHAPTER SIX – PLANS
Jack gazed thoughtfully into the flames of the still going fire as he kept watch. Teal'c was in a deep state of Kel-no-reem near the entrance to the cavern and Sam was curled up into a tight ball in the corner, the blankets wrapped around her like a cocoon. They had discovered earlier that she would have to sleep out here with him and Teal'c because Daniel and Sha'uri had both fallen asleep in the other room. He could remember the smiles that had crossed over both his and Sam's faces when they had seen the two curled up under the blanket, holding each other. It was like it should have been.
Jack sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. They still had a long way to go before Daniel and Sha'uri could be granted a normal happy marriage. Anything could happen from here to that Stargate and if Daniel's luck held true, something bad would happen that would cost him Sha'uri.
Jack mentally slapped himself. He shouldn't be thinking like that. Daniel and Sha'uri deserved this. They both needed each other and they both deserved some happiness after all this time. God knows the two of them have been through enough.
Jack picked some dirt up from off the ground and tossed it into the flames, watching as the fire sparked up in reaction to the dust. Things were starting to get really complicated in his life. First he had to deal with just the threat of the Gould and all the times they'd either leave Daniel somewhere or he'd die and come back. But then he had died and didn't come back, well… not at first. He was back now, but that one-year had been hell. Especially dealing with Jonas.
Jack never had like Jonas. Not just because the man was as annoying as ever, but also because he had always blamed the man for what had happened to Daniel. It wasn't like he could help it. He tried to forgive him, but he never really could. The annoying part, he supposed he should have been used to as Daniel had always annoyed the hell out of him, but that was Daniel. He was used to Daniel annoying the hell out of him. It was part of their whole friendship thing but the way Jonas had annoyed him had been different. It wasn't the same like Daniel had annoyed him. It was more 'you're getting on my nerves' annoying. Well, Daniel had done that too, but there was also the friendliness behind it as well, even if both he and Daniel were steamed at each other at the time.
Jack sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. Yeah, last year was not fun. He had changed too during it. Without Daniel there, he had become more cold and hard, not letting anyone in. Daniel had always been the one to be there for him if he needed it and vice versa. Then Daniel had been gone and he'd had no one he could lean on if he needed too. So he closed himself off again, not letting anyone in.
Daniel could break through the wall though. Like when he had come to see him when Ba'al had captured him. Daniel had been there for him and after he had convinced Jack that he wasn't a delusion, he had broken through the wall Jack had made and comforted him, just by being there.
Movement near the entrance to the other carven made Jack look up sharply, but all he saw was Daniel coming out from under the fabric.
Jack frowned. "I thought you were asleep?" he asked as Daniel moved closer to the fire and sat down beside Jack.
Daniel sighed deeply, looking absolutely exhausted, "I was."
Jack started at him silently for a moment, waiting for him to continue, but he didn't, "So why are you awake now?"
Daniel rubbed a hand over his face before drawing both his knees to his chest and wrapping his arms around his legs, "Just a bad dream. I couldn't get back to sleep after that so I decided to come out here."
"Ah," Jack said, poking the fire again. He didn't need Daniel to elaborate anymore then that to understand what the 'bad dream' had to be about, "Want to talk about it?"
Daniel closed his eyes and paused for a moment, not exactly sure what he should say. He wasn't sure if he wanted to talk about what Apophis had done to him and how he had forced Sha'uri to watch it. It was all still fresh and vivid in his mind, that when he had woken up, he had first thought he was still in that dark room chained to that pillar.
After a moment, Daniel finally spoke, "Apophis was really the least of my problems at the time, Jack. Even though he was… hurting me so much, all I could do was think about Sha'uri," he paused again, opening his eyes to stare into the flames, "He forced her to watch it all. Forced her to see the marks left by the whip the Jaffa was using on me. I think it was harder on her then it was on me," he lowered his head and stared down at the ground, not wanting to think about the pain he had endured.
"God, Danny," Jack moved closer to Daniel and placed a hand on his shoulder. He could tell that Daniel was really glossing over the details of what he had endured. All he had said was that he had been whipped, but for how long and what else had Apophis done. Jack doubted that all that fucking Gould had done was whip him. He did more than that. Jack remembered seeing the wounds that had been left on Daniel's body and a whip had not made some of them.
Daniel took in a shuddering breath and closed his eyes, trying to find some way to put everything into words. He knew he needed to get this out. If he didn't do it now, he never would.
Jack watched Daniel and asked a question he didn't want to know but knew that Daniel had to tell someone, "What happened to you?"
Daniel laughed slightly for some reason, "Oh, just your usual torture. Although he a… seemed to have a bit more of a grudge against me for some reason. He a… said that I had destroyed Ammo'net, though I don't know what he meant by that."
"Yeah," Jack said, rubbing Daniel's shoulder soothingly, "He told us that too."
Daniel nodded, "He… he had Sha'uri under some mind-control thing which I think he also used on Teal'c's son at some point in time, but he said that she was fighting it and that he needed to break her spirit to make it so he would be able to have full control over her."
Jack nodded, letting Daniel continue.
Tears started to leak out from Daniel's eyes, "He a… kinda whipped me, I don't know… a lot. I sort of lost count somewhere after the fortieth lash," he drew in a shaking breath, "He also used some type of Gould device that made me relive my worst memories. Especially the ones surrounding what had happened to Sha'uri."
"Jack," Daniel said, lowering his head, as he felt the tears start to slide down his face. "Some of the things Apophis did to me… I don't think I'll ever be able to talk about them and I don't think I'll ever be able to fully get over them."
"Hey," Jack said, pulling Daniel into his embrace as the younger man started to cry. God, that bastard had hurt Daniel so much that all Jack felt like doing right now was finding that fucking piece of shit and ripping his scrawny little Gould head off. Daniel didn't deserve any of that.
"God, Jack. I wish I could just forget it all," Daniel cried, feeling as though he was suffocating.
"Sssh, it's alright, Danny. Everything's going to be okay. It's all over now," Jack whispered, rocking Daniel back and forth trying to sooth his friend. He wasn't really good at the talking and sentimental stuff but he was learning, Daniel was giving him far too much practice.
They sat like that in silence for a few moments, until Daniel was able to get himself under control. He backed away from Jack a bit, rubbing his eyes.
"Sorry," he said.
Jack waved him off, "Don't be. You can't always keep everything bottled up inside of you, Daniel. You have to let it out sometimes."
Daniel nodded, "It's just, I still haven't really adjusted to everything that's happened to me yet since you guys found me on that planet and with all of this…" he sighed deeply, "I'm just having a really hard time handling it all."
"I understand," Jack sighed, "Hell, if I was in your position, I don't think I'd be doing nearly as good as you are," Jack smiled, "You're putting up a good fight."
"Doesn't feel that way," Daniel said softly, gazing back into the flames, playing with his hands while doing so.
They sat in silence for a moment.
"So," Jack started again, wanting to change the subject, "How's Sha'uri doing?"
"Okay," Daniel answered, "She a… She's having a hard time dealing with everything that's happened to her since I last saw her, but she's coping. I really can't blame her though when I think about everything she's been through since Apophis took her. She blames many of the things that Ammo'net did on herself."
Jack winced slightly, "I take it the whole trying to kill you thing was at the top of that long list."
"Yeah," Daniel said, looking up at Jack for a second before looking back at the fire, "That and the child Apophis forced on her. Even after I told her it hadn't been her that had done all those things and that it wasn't her fault, she still blames herself for it."
"Ah," Jack said, throwing some more sand into the fire. "Kinda like how you blame yourself that she was taken in the first place."
Daniel didn't answer that. He just sort a looked close to where Jack's knee was then turned back to stare into the flames. Standard Daniel procedure when he didn't want to answer something.
Jack sighed, "Daniel, why don't you go get some more sleep. Carter says that you need it and besides, Janet will have my head when she finds out that you haven't been trying to get your strength back."
"I can't sleep, Jack," Daniel answered simply.
Jack gave a frustrated sigh, "Then at least go lie down and just hold her."
Daniel gazed up at Jack then. He knew. He knew that the real reason he didn't want to go back in there was because of Sha'uri. He was afraid of her seeing him like this. She had her own problems to worry about; she didn't need to worry about his as well.
"Daniel, you just got her back. If I were you, I wouldn't let her out of my sight. And before you go telling me that you don't want her to have to deal with what your going through as well," he raised his hand when he saw Daniel about to protest, "She needs you. She needs you to just be there with her. And you need her too."
Daniel sighed and stared back into the fire, "How do you know?"
"Because Daniel, I saw the look on your face after we found that someone had taken her body from Abydos and I saw what she was going through before we busted you out. You should have seen the look that passed over her face when she saw you lying in that dark room, dead. She was devastated. I saw that pain, Daniel and trust me, if she needs anything right now, it's for you to just be there with her and never let go."
Daniel took in Jack's words and looked over towards the next cavern, where Sha'uri slept. He hadn't known that. Jack was a lot smarter than he and others gave him credit for. Unfortunately, if Daniel told him that, he wouldn't believe him.
Daniel then nodded and looked back at Jack, "Thank you."
Jack smiled, "Anytime Danny. Now get your ass in there before I kick you in there."
Daniel smiled and rose from his seat. He then headed back towards the cavern.
"Uh, Daniel?"
Daniel paused at the door to the next cavern and turned back to face Jack.
"If you every need someone to talk to, you know I'll be here."
Daniel smiled and nodded, before disappearing behind the fabric. Jack sighed as he watched the material shimmer then slowly fall back into place. Those two had a long way to go before things would get back to normal for them, but at least they had each other now to help them get through it.
Daniel entered the small little cavern again and just felt content enough to just watch Sha'uri sleep. She looked so peaceful and content right now that Daniel didn't want to disturb her. After he had left, she had pulled the blanket around her tighter to make up for the warmth she'd lost when he'd left. Her beautiful black curls framed her face in such a way that Daniel couldn't help but smile.
This was what he had been missing. Ever since he had come back from being ascended he had felt like a part of him had been missing. Not just his memories but also something else, something much deeper. Now he knew what had been missing. It had been her.
He slowly moved toward her and settled down beside her, drawing her back into his embrace. She rolled over and snuggled closer to him, burying herself in his robes. Daniel just closer his eyes and breathed in the scent of her hair. God, he had missed her so much.
It had hurt so badly when they had found that her body had been stolen and now that he had her back, he was afraid that he was just going to lose her again. He knew she felt the same and he was going to do everything in his power to make sure that they didn't get separated again.
"Dan'yel?" Daniel glanced down at her to see her dark brown eyes gazing up at him in concern. "Are you all right?"
He smiled at her softly and rubbed his hand against her cheek. "I am now."
She smiled at him and snuggled deeper into his arms. She was not sure what had woken her up. She had just felt like something was wrong with Daniel, but he seemed perfectly fine now. Maybe she was just imagining things, though she highly doubted that. She had felt his pain when he had found that she was gone on Abydos and again when Apophis had hurt him. She knew that what had awakened her had something to do with him, but she was not sure what.
She sighed, tightening her grip on his robes as he tightened his grip on her. She would have to wait until they got back to his world before she could find out what exactly was wrong with him or exactly what was going on between them. Apophis knew exactly what had happened to them and understood this… bond that they now shared, but they did not. Everything was just so confusing.
Not only that, but they also needed time to get used to everything again, especially each other. It would take Daniel the longest to adjust as he'd had to live with the knowledge that she had been dead for four years and then with this whole memory loss thing… She was not sure what would happen.
"Go back to sleep, love," Daniel whispered in her ear, sensing her turmoil somehow. He wasn't sure how he was doing it, but it felt right and it was comforting, "Everything will get sorted out later, but now you need to sleep."
She nodded and kissed him lightly before cuddling closer to him. Yes, everything would get sorted out later. That she was sure of.
***
"We have not been able to find them, My Lord," said a Jaffa that was kneeling before an angry Apophis. He shook a little as his master gazed at him angrily; eyes glowing.
"And why not? Surely they could not have eluded you this long. Daniel Jackson is injured and weak. Ammo'net is also weak and in turmoil. The rest of SG-1 would not be able to move quickly with them. How could they have escaped you?!"
The Jaffa did not have an answer to give him, "I do not know, My Lord. They headed into the forest and we have been unable to locate them."
Apophis stepped closer to the Jaffa, his anger growing, "Post Jaffa at the Stargate that leads off-world. That is where they will be heading. I will be there as soon as the meeting is over. Keep sweeping the surrounding area around that Stargate. I want them found!"
"Yes, My Lord," the Jaffa bowed and quickly left followed by a group of Serpent guards.
Apophis stood by himself for a moment, before he picked up a glass bottle from near by and smashed it into the wall.
Daniel Jackson had eluded him again. Right when he was close to death and about to atone for the death of Ammo'net, he had slipped through his fingers once more. Daniel's wife was stronger then Apophis had first thought. She had snuck into the prison area, broken O'Neill and the others out and then had helped them free Dr. Jackson. Well, she was going to pay dearly for what she had done.
Apophis smiled to himself then. No, killing Daniel Jackson would no longer be an option. He would find a way to either break free or come back from the dead like he had done countless times before. No, he would have to do something else that would make the man pay for what he had done, and Apophis knew the best way to do it.
He laughed. By doing what he was planning, not only could he make Daniel suffer greatly, but Sha'uri as well.
Apophis's First Prime entered the room then, flanked by two serpent guards, "My Lord," he said, gaining Apophis's attention, "They have arrived."
Apophis smiled to himself then and turned towards his First Prime, "Good. Inform them that I will meet with them shortly. There is much we must discuss."
The First Prime bowed, "Yes, my Lord," he then turned and left.
Apophis clenched his fist, "Yes, Daniel Jackson will pay greatly."
He then began to laugh.
***
"Teal'c," Jack said quietly, gaining the Jaffa's attention. They were huddled under some overgrowth about thirty yards from where the Stargate stood. Jack couldn't see anything from where he was, but Teal'c could, "How many?"
Teal'c gazed over the ridge down towards the Gate. He could see a group of Serpent guards guarding the Gate and another group of them we're heading for the Gate.
Teal'c turned back to face Jack, "It is difficult to say, O'Neill. There about five Jaffa guarding the Gate at this very moment and more are on the way."
"Shit," Jack swore lightly, turning to face the others. Sam was beside him, scanning the surrounding area for any unwanted guests and Daniel and Sha'uri were huddled close together near the ground just behind him.
"Jack, what's going on?" Daniel asked; keeping one of his arms securely wrapped around Sha'uri while he held a gun in his other hand. Luckily, after all the rest he had gotten last night, he no longer needed any help to get back to the Gate.
Jack sighed, "We've got about five Snakeheads guarding the Gate and Teal'c says more are on the way."
"Apophis will be coming," Sha'uri said from where she lay beside Daniel, "He has an idea of how long it will take for us to get to the Gate. He will be there soon. He was there the last time I tried this."
Daniel could feel her shake slightly with that thought and soothingly rubbed her back making her look up at him, "I won't let him hurt you again. Promise," he whispered into her ear.
She smiled slightly at this and he kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"So, what do you think we should do, sir?" Sam asked, turning to him.
Jack just shrugged. "Not sure. We can't take them all with just the three of us. Daniel's really not in any state to be doing much fighting and we can't risk that something will happen to Sha'uri."
Sam nodded gazing back at the two. She had to agree with the Colonel on that one. She had seen how happy Daniel had been since they had gotten Sha'uri back. She didn't want that to be taken away from him. He had already had to watch her die once before. There was no way in hell that she, Jack or Teal'c were going to let that happen again.
"Teal'c," Jack said again, "Got any ideas?"
Teal'c gazed back down into the valley. The group of Jaffa he had seen earlier moving towards the Gate were now there… and so was Apophis, "I have none."
Jack punched the ground, "Dammit!"
They all sat silently for a moment, trying to figure out what exactly they were going to do. Teal'c gazed back down into the valley.
"I will attempt to get closer, O'Neill," he said, waiting for the Colonel's consent. Jack nodded and Teal'c moved off away from them.
"Sir, if we can't get to the Gate-"
"I know, Major," Jack said, not exactly wanting to think about what they would have to do. They would have to find some safe place here on this planet to stay until Apophis finally gave up looking for them, which probably would never happen and also, Jack didn't even want to think about what would happen if they got caught. He really didn't want to see Daniel go through that again, or Sha'uri for that matter.
Daniel saw the look that passed over Jack's face and cringed inwardly. He knew exactly what the older man was thinking about. It didn't take the three PhD's that he had to figure that one out. Jack was thinking about what would happen if they got caught. He really didn't want to think about that himself, but he didn't want Jack to be thinking about it either. It made he feel almost sick to his stomach when he thought about what they had seen done to him. It made him sick… remembering what had been done to him.
"Dan'yel?" Daniel looked down to see Sha'uri's concerned eyes gazing right back into his. He smiled a little just to reassure her.
"I'm okay. Do not worry."
Sha'uri nodded and snuggled closer to him. She was terrified out of her mind right now and the only thing keeping her sane was Daniel. He was like a rock for her. She could feel Apophis's presence close by and all she wanted to do to get away from that was just to disappear into Daniel's embrace. She felt safe there.
"Aray kree!!!" The four of them whipped their heads around to see a lone Jaffa with a big staff weapon pointed right at Daniel and Sha'uri.
Jack rolled his eyes, "Great."
The Jaffa looked at Jack with suspicion, "Ai'emain, Tau'ri!"
Jack looked back at Daniel, "Uh, Danny…"
"He just said 'Stand up'," Daniel answered, raising his hands and dropping his gun.
Jack and Sam followed his example and began to come out from under the bushes.
The Jaffa watched them closely until they were all fully out then stepped towards Sha'uri. She stepped closer to Daniel in fear and Daniel stepped between the Jaffa and her.
The Jaffa grew angry, "Vi'ri Ammo'net."
Daniel glared back at the Jaffa, "Noc."
Sha'uri clutched the back of Daniel's robes and Sam and Jack just watched in confusion.
"Umm, Daniel…" Jack asked.
Daniel glanced at him quickly before turning his gaze back at the Jaffa, "He wants to take Sha'uri."
The Jaffa glared at Daniel, "Di'dak'dida, Tau'ri?! Vi're, Ammo'net!"
"Noc!" Daniel said again. He had just gotten Sha'uri back. There was no way he was going to let her go again.
The Jaffa grew tired of Daniel's refusal. He pulled out a zat and fired. Daniel crumbled to the ground in pain.
"Dan'yel!" Sha'uri cried, kneeling down beside him.
"Hey!" Jack sprang forward, but the Jaffa was quicker. He zatted Jack as well and was about to turn on Sam, when he all of a suddenly fell to the ground from a zat blast from the rear.
Sam bent down to help Jack up, "You okay, Colonel?"
Jack got to his feet and started walking towards Daniel as Teal'c appeared out of the bushes; a Zat gun in hand, "I will be," he threw back at her, ignoring the pain he felt completely at the moment.
Daniel winced slightly as Sha'uri slip her arms under him, "Dan'yel?"
"I'll be fine," he answered her; though at the moment he really didn't feel like it. He was still hurting from what had Apophis had done to him and now…
Jack knelt down beside Daniel, "You okay?"
Daniel nodded and Jack helped him to his feet. He swayed a little before getting his balance.
After making sure Daniel would be okay, Jack turned to Teal'c, "There aren't any more of those guys around, are there?"
Teal'c shook his head, "No, O'Neill. But I believe that we now may have a way of escaping this planet."
All four of them looked at Teal'c in surprise.
"How exactly?" Sam asked.
Teal'c raised his eyebrow slightly, "We now have a Jaffa uniform. One of us could dress up as a Jaffa and bring the rest of us to Apophis as prisoners. Then, when the time is right, we strike and flee through the Stargate."
Jack held his hand up, "Wait, hold on a minute. Did you just say for one of us to pretend to play Jaffa?"
"Indeed I did, O'Neill."
Jack cringed, "That's what I thought.
Daniel frowned deeply, holding Sha'uri close without even realizing it, "Umm Teal'c? Doesn't that sound a little dangerous? I mean you can't do it because Apophis will recognize you, but you can't expect one of us to be able to pull this off. Not to mention that Apophis would be a little suspicious if only four of us turn up with one missing."
"Daniel's right, Teal'c," Sam said, "Apophis would know something isn't right as soon as he sees us."
"Indeed, but he may not do anything until he has spoken with the Jaffa that has captured us. That would give us enough time to take them out and get through the Gate," Teal'c answered.
Jack sighed heavily, knowing that this could be their only chance to get out of here and back home. Teal'c was right. They didn't need that much time. They just needed a diversion that would give them enough time to at least get to the gate then try to dial out.
"Okay," Jack said finally, making Sam, Daniel, and Sha'uri stare at him.
"Sir, you can't be serious," Sam said.
"Jack, it's far to dangerous-"
"I know that, Daniel," Jack said, turning to face them, "But what other choice do we have. We just need something that will give us time to get to the Gate and this is our only option. It could work."
Daniel continued to stare at Jack in disbelief, "Jack-"
"I know," Jack interrupted, "But Daniel, this is the only way for us to get home. And I want to make sure that both you and Sha'uri get there safely. You two are the ones that Apophis really wants, not us," Jack said, motioning to himself, Teal'c and Sam.
Daniel sighed, holding Sha'uri tighter. He knew Jack was right. Apophis did want only him and Sha'uri. The others were just a bonus. He also knew that Teal'c's plan was the only one that they had at the moment and the only one that gave them any chance of getting home. All of them.
He then slowly nodded, "Okay," he said, "But who's going to play Jaffa. We all know Teal'c can't do it cause that would really give us away."
"Well, Sha'uri and I can't do it," Sam answered, "There are no women Jaffa and Apophis would recognize Sha'uri's voice anyway. So that just leaves you, Colonel, and Daniel."
"Well," Jack said, sighing deeply, "Guess I'm doing it," he then saw the look Daniel had, "No offence, Danny, but you're hurt and Apophis wants you more then he wants me, remember?"
"But Jack, what the hell are you planning on saying to Apophis? He'll probably be talking in Gould to you. You won't have a clue what the hell he's saying let alone what to say back."
Jack gave Daniel one of his charming smiles, "That's where you and Teal'c come in, Danny-boy."
Daniel nodded, getting it, but Teal'c looked a little confused, "How is that, O'Neill?"
"Well," Jack said, kneeling down beside the fallen Jaffa to start ripping off the uniform, "You and Daniel are going to be tell me exactly what to say. Just leave your radio on and whisper to me what I have to say."
Sam knelt down beside Jack to help him with the uniform while Teal'c turned and gazed back down into the valley where the Stargate was.
"Jack," Daniel said, gaining the older man's attention. "Just try not to screw-up on the pronunciation."
Jack smiled again, "Then you and Teal'c better talk slow."
***
Apophis paced in front of the gate, angrily. They were still no closer to finding those Tau'ri and his queen. His Jaffa were starting to disappoint him greatly. How could they have eluded them for so long when they had wounded to worry about? Daniel Jackson was near death the last he had seen of him and his Jaffa had told him that when they had escaped, O'Neill was helping Daniel get around.
"Dis'tra!" one of the Serpent guards guarding the gate shouted, gaining Apophis's attention, "Nio!" the guard shouted, pointed to a point in the distance.
Apophis turned to look and smiled deeply. One of his Jaffa had finally found and re-captured them. Daniel Jackson, Ammo'net, Major Carter and the Shol'va Teal'c were heading towards them. But where was the infamous Colonel O'Neill?
Apophis waited smugly as the group approached. Then he frowned slightly at seeing the state Daniel Jackson was in. He seemed mostly healed. How was that possible? Apophis's anger flared. They had used his sarcophagus. That was the only explanation.
As the group approached Apophis and the Stargate, Daniel held Sha'uri close. He didn't wait to lose her again and if things didn't go the way they had planned, then he very well could lose her, but he was going to do everything in his power to keep her by his side, no matter what.
The group stopped a little bit before Apophis and Teal'c started whispering to Jack through the radio.
"Ba'ja'kakma'te, Apophis," Jack said as Gouldishly as he could, slamming his fist into his chest and kneeling before the snakehead. Jack grimaced, but was happy the mask covered his face.
'God, I can't believe I'm bowing to this asshole,' he thought to himself.
Apophis smiled, "Bonniewae, Jaffa. Mar'mac Colonel O'Neill?"
"Jack, say 'A'lada…ki'bani…Dis'tra'," Daniel whispered discreetly into the radio that was hiding n the folds of his robes.
"A'lada ki'bani, Dis'tra," Jack answered, not raising his head as Teal'c had said.
Apophis frowned and looked towards his other Jaffa, "Jankin, O'Neill!"
The surrounding Jaffa quickly left to search for the missing Tau'ri leaving only three guards, not including Jack, and Apophis himself left.
Apophis then turned back to face them, his gaze settling on Daniel and Sha'uri. Daniel cringed, pulling Sha'uri as close to himself as humanly possible. He really wasn't looking forward to this. They had to wait until the other Jaffa were far enough away so that when they started shooting at Apophis and the three remaining Jaffa, they would be gone by the time the other Jaffa got back here. That meant they had to play along with Apophis for now and he really didn't want to do that cause that meant him and Sha'uri may be separated and even being separated from her for a few moments in the presence of Apophis was NOT something he wanted to do.
"Se Daniel Jackson ue Ammo'net!" Apophis said, and two of the Jaffa by his side stepped forward to grab Daniel and Sha'uri. Daniel fought to keep a hold of Sha'uri, but they Jaffa were stronger then he was and ripped them apart. They were then pushed towards Apophis until they were standing right in front of him. The Jaffa didn't lessen their hold on them and Daniel had no way of getting to Sha'uri.
'God,' he thought to himself, 'Please don't make me lose her again.'
Apophis approached Daniel, looking him over in a way that made Daniel sick to his stomach. Apophis was looking for something, or wanted something. It was almost the same look Daniel had seen in this fucking Gould's eyes everything he looked at Sha'uri… but not quite. There was something very different about it.
'I guess I must have really pissed him off,' Daniel thought. "Hope I don't have to live through his torture a second time, cause I've got a very bad feeling that it's going to be much worse.'
"You will pay dearly for this insolence," Apophis said in that all too familiar Gould voice. His eyes flashed, but Daniel didn't back down his gaze. He kept it strong and defiant.
"No, I don't think so," Daniel replied, earning himself a knee in the back from one of the Jaffa. He was pushed to the ground into a kneeling position and the Jaffa pushed his head forward, making him bow to this… creature. Sha'uri was screaming his name now but he couldn't look up at her to reassure her that he was all right. The Jaffa was holding him far too tightly.
Apophis smiled slightly, "We shall see," he then turned to face Sha'uri and stepped closer to her.
Sha'uri struggled to pull away from the Jaffa and Apophis, but that didn't work. They were far too strong. Finally, she just gave up and turned her face away from Apophis.
Apophis grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him, "You shall not do that again, my love. You belong to me now. You had no business being with him," Apophis said, pointing at Daniel.
Sha'uri spat in his face, "I was never yours and I still am not. I belong to Dan'yel."
Apophis slapped her in the face gaining a slight cry from her. Daniel couldn't see what was happening, but he struggled harder to get away when he had heard Sha'uri cry out.
"Leave her alone!" Daniel shouted.
Apophis laughed, "You cannot make me."
"No," Apophis whipped his head around to see Jack O'Neill the Shol'va and Major Samantha Carter pointing weapons in his direction, "But we can," Jack said, before firing the staff weapon he had.
The blast hit Apophis in the chest, knocking him off his feet. The Jaffa suddenly let Daniel and Sha'uri go, turning to fight the three. Daniel got up and went straight for Sha'uri, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly. Sha'uri returned the embrace just as fiercely. She was crying now and Daniel tried to soothe her.
"Sssh, it's okay," he whispered to her. She nodded against his robes, trying to believe him.
"Daniel!" Jack shouted from where he was, fighting with one of the Jaffa, "Dial us up!"
Daniel looked back at Jack and nodded. He started to move towards the DHD, Sha'uri in his arms when he heard something that sounded erringly familiar. At the last possible second he realized what it was and pushed Sha'uri violently out of the way.
Sha'uri landed hard and turned back towards Daniel just in time to see the rings come up around him and Apophis.
"No!" she screamed, reaching out her hand towards him, but there was nothing she could do. The rings transported Daniel and Apophis away before falling back into the ground.
"Dan'yel!" she screamed, crying outwardly again. She had lost him.
Jack saw what had happened, but he hadn't been able to do anything to stop it. Apophis had Daniel again, the very thing he had wanted to avoid when doing this. He knew they couldn't go back for him right now. He could hear the other Jaffa coming back and if they didn't get back to Earth now, they never would and that wouldn't help Daniel at all. They had no choice now but the dial Earth up and go through the Gate.
"Carter, dial us up!" Jack yelled, finally shooting his Jaffa and turning the staff around to begin firing on the Jaffa that were heading their way.
Sam ran to the DHD and dialled. The Gate spun into action, locking into the chevrons. The last chevron locked, the gate whooshed open and Sam sent the signal.
"Sir!" Sam yelled, letting him know that the Gate was open.
"Go!" Jack yelled, firing at the Jaffa.
Sam ran up and jumped through the gate. Jack was right behind her.
"Come on!" Jack said to Sha'uri, bending forward to grab her arm. He pulled her up and wrapped one of his arms around her, keeping her close. He wasn't going to lose her too. He had promised Daniel that he'd take care of her and that's what he was going to do. They jumped through the gate and landed hard on the other side.
"Close the Iris!" Jack shouted and soon as Teal'c was through.
Jack sighed in relief as soon as the Iris had been closed. They were finally home, but not everything had gone as he had planned. He looked down at Sha'uri to see her sobbing softly. He pulled her closer and she buried her face in his shoulder. God, were things ever in a mess now.
"Colonel!" Jack looked up to see Hammond marching into the Gateroom followed by Janet and… Jacob. The Tok'ra were here.
Hammond stopped to stare at the all, relieved to see that they'd managed to find there way back home, but someone was missing.
"Where's Dr. Jackson?"
Sam and Teal'c didn't answer him. The woman that Jack had brought through with them had her head buried in the Colonel's jacket and he couldn't see her face, but he knew he'd find out who she was later. Jack sighed, a pained look in his eyes.
"He's been captured, sir," Jack said softly, "by Apophis."
AN: Many of you probably think I'm cruel right about now. L E sure did. The first line of her email back after editing was 'That was cruel'. Oh well. I can't help it. That's just how the story line goes. I'm not sure when chapter seven will be out, but I do have it in the works. Oh and for who ever asked if this was a Daniel/Jack fic, what do you think? I don't like Slash all that much. Especially with characters that were never suppose to be together. If the show never hinted that they may hook-up, why do it. Anyways, bye for now.
