Chapter Five

The members of SG-1 had been on Atlantis for a few days.Daniel walked out onto a small balcony and saw the strangest thing. A female was sitting in the middle of the water. She had long light brown hair and he couldn't really see the color of her eyes, but he could see that she had pale skin. She was beautiful. He stepped closer to edge of the balcony, but the woman aimed some sort of weapon at him. The blast caused him to fall backwards and almost off the balcony.

"What the hell was that?" John asked as Atlantis shook from the blast.

"Is it the wraith?" Sabrina asked as she notice a figure outside in the water" Oh my god it's them."

"It's who?" General O'Neill asked curiously

"The mermaids and mermen I was talking about a few weeks ago to the rest of the team. They all thought I was crazy until I explored the waters beneath us and took a picture of the merman I saw. He warned me that the others did not like humans at all." She said as another blast sent her and General O'Neill crashing to the floor.

"So, these mermaids and mermen are half human half fish." O'Neill questioned as he helped her to her feet.

"The one I saw was human except for he could breath underwater like a fish." Another blast sent her falling forward as Daniel came rushing inside the two fell to the floor together with Daniel on top of her.

"We're being attacked by people in the sea." he said as he sat up.

"They're called Mermaids and mermen." she said feeling like she was repeating herself.

"Yeah we all thought she was crazy, but looks like she was being honest." John said as he order Ford and the rest to fight back.

"Sir we're losing power in section of the city." Ford said

"We need to stop this attack." Weir said worried that anymore damage would destroy Atlantis.

"I'm sorry Dr. Weir this is all my fault if I hadn't been so insisted on proving that I wasn't crazy. I did this. This time it's not the grief talking it's the truth." she said as she realized her error.

"Look we're not placing blame on anyone we all knew that we'd be attacked sooner or later." Dr. Weir said as she watched the people fight to keep the power going.

Suddenly it all stopped and power started to go through Atlantis stronger than before.

"Wow what happened?" Carter asked softly

"I'm not sure, but suddenly we've got nearly full power." Weir said confused

"Where's Sabrina at?" Daniel asked noticing her not around

"Oh no, she's out side." Weir said as she went out there by her" Hey come back inside it's not safe."

"Look it's him." she said as she pointed the blond she had seen before

"It's OK the others were upset that a human was in the waters if you agree not to go in our waters again we'll spare your lives." He said firmly

"Who are you?" General O'Neill asked

"My name is Seaphois I am their leader. It was my mistake to make contact in the first, but I assure you it will not happen again if you should come back to our waters below you will die." he said as the rest of his people disappeared beneath the waters.

"So, what's worse the wraith you talk about or these half fish people." General O'Neill said not wanting an answer just stating the obvious

" I assure you they are nothing compared to the wraith. The wraith thrive off of human life. Those half fish half humans were just protecting their waters from us." Sabrina said as she turned to go inside.

"Well, at least we know for sure you're not crazy." McKay said

"Yeah, well I kinda wish I was crazy then we could've avoided all this." she turned to look at Weir" You know he's the reason why we have nearly full power. He didn't want us to die."

"Yes, I know, but you also know that they do not want us down there." she said knowing how much Sabrina wanted to explore the water beneath them.

"I know." she sighed in defeat. The water beneath them was so beautiful.

"Well, let's not do that again." McKay said

"We wont."Sabrina said as she went to her room.

A moment later she heard a soft knock at her door. She smiled expecting it to be John. She opened the door to find Daniel standing there.

"Hey I thought I'd come check on you." he said from her door way.

"Come in." she said moving so he could walk in.

"It still seems weird that you're here." he said as he reached out to touch her arm gently to make sure she was real.

"I'm sorry Daniel leaving you behind was the hardest thing I ever did. I never thought I'd find someone that I could trust again." she said softly

"But you did and that person is John Sheppard." he stated the obvious" Do you love him?"

"I'm not sure yet this is all still new to me. We've been together for about a month I could fall in love with him." she said softly" Danny, me and John had a child, but I lost it when I didn't take the precautions to make sure it was healthy and safe. I wasn't sure so I went on a mission. A Wraith attacked me and drained the life of my child instead of my own. I'm sure that if John hadn't gotten to me when he did I would be dead as well."

"I'm glad that Major Sheppard was there to help you through all that." Daniel said softly" I wish I had been there."

"You could have done anything that you can't do now." she said as Daniel hugged her to him.

Her door opened and John walked through.

"Gee should I have knocked first." his voice sounded annoyed.

"No, you know you're more than welcome in here." Sabrina said as she gently moved from her place in Daniel's arms.

"Major Sheppard." Daniel said a little jealous that he was so close to Sabrina.

"Danny just stopped by to talk." she said

"Well, don't let me stop you two from talking. Since we're together I thought it would be OK if I showered here." John said as he walked off to the showering area.

"He's a little made at me still." Sabrina said to Daniel.

"Because you weren't honest with him." Daniel said

"That's right. Since the attack with the wraith and finding out that I lost our baby things haven't been the same with me and John." she confessed softly" I think he blames me for it all."

"He'd be an idiot to do that." Daniel said

"It's important to me for us to work through this together because I do care a lot about John." she said as she walked Daniel to the door.

"If cares about you the two of you will work through this." he said as he kissed her cheek and left.

"Hey, did Dr. Jackson leave already?" John questioned as he looked around.

"You know jealousy does not bring out the best in you." she said as she kissed him softly

"Yeah, but I thought I'd give it a shot." he said as he took the towel he had around his neck and wrapped it around her waist pulling her closer to him.

"I'm sorry about everything." she said as she brushed the water drops from his forehead

"So am I." he said as they embraced.

"You smell like me." she teased

"That's because you have girlie soap." he said" Besides I couldn't get enough of your smell."

"Ha, I have your soap in my shower as well." she said

"Then how about you come wash my back and I'll wash yours." he said as he pulled her to the bathroom.
