So anyway on to the very short Chapter Five.

Chapter Five

Le Marque Castle Three Days Later

It was a long journey from her lands to the lands of the Marque. She was weary and so was her horse Pegus, the white Arabian her Morwen gave to her for her coronation. She looked over the dark castle and her gaze came over the servants being whipped for some pety crime that Bain or his henchmen was so up to taking out on them. When she was done with Bain she swore to herself that she would rescue every child, every frighten woman on this desalt land. Huntress took the reins of her horse and tied to a near by dead tree branch, while she soothe the distress of her horse. Even her horse could feel the evil that seemed to slip into the very earth of the land. "Don't worry, I will be back," she whispered to her horse.

Huntress took her sword out it's sheath and began the standard recon of place. She wanted to know how hard would it be to entered the fortress. After an hour of marching over the lands she found that it was indeed heavily armed. There was no way for her to enter the fortress unseen /Damn/ As fast as she could she doubled back to her horse, before a sentry could see her, it took her only a couple minutes with her using her natural powers that was bestowed by her ancestors. In no time she saw her horse patently waiting for her return. She approached her horse carefully, as not to spook it. She patted it on his head and untied his reins from the tree. She carefully looked around her surroundings making sure she wasn't followed and then got on her horse and galloped through the night, but unknown to her Eric Caenus stood there in shadows with a satisfied smirk on his face.

Colonel Jack O'Neil was mad! Angry. She duped him again! If he ever saw her again he was going to wring that pretty white neck of hers. For the last six days he had been trying to escape the guards again, but Sam took care of that. She double the guard that was already stifling him to death. He came so close to hurting one of the guards when he was escorted even to the bathroom! This was ridiculous he was a fucking former black ops officer forcryinoutloud! Enough for was enough! He looked over to his bunk mates at the moment. Teal'c was kelnoreeming in quite corner of their suite, while Danny was looking over the books onyou guessed! History! The man has been knee deep in books since the movement they got here. Jack guessed it just one of Daniel's ways of preoccupying himself from the constant worrying of his surrogate sister.

All of sudden the door opened to reveal the very subject of his worries. Sam. She looked like she had just got off five day work binge. They were rings over her usually jubilant eyes. She was covered in sand and soot. This last week has not been kind to her. Danny was the first to jump into her arms giving her a back breaking hug, Teal'c bowed to her and a small smile appeared on his faceor what a smile what look like on his face Jack strided to her, his face tight with anger, and worry. "We need to talk in private," he said through clinched teeth. "After a shower," she replied to him as if he was simple. He looked at her dumbstruck. The look in her eyes gave him an unmistakable invite. Now Jack was a many things, but stupid he was not. She was trying to get out of the talk that she knew was coming.

"Excuse us," he said without looking at his male teammates, as he grabbed Sam's arm in a death grip and escorted her out the room. Daniel looked at Teal'c asking with his eyes if he knew what going on, Teal'c only shrugged. Teal'c had some idea, but he did notice the fact that Jack never came back to his room the night before she left. Which only meant that they were actually getting over the barrier that they put up between them. He was happy for them, but he wasn't going to let DanielJackson know. It was up to both O'Neil and Major Carter to tell him.

"Let go of my arm, or I will damage something vital." She sneered at him as she yanked it out his hold. She looked at her own quarters, glad to be home. She needed sometime to look over her critically, but she also needed to relax herself so she could think logically, but Jack is not making that easy for her. He let go of her arm, but didn't move out her way. "What the hell are you thinking going out there by yourself!" he yelled. She began to take her sword belt, gauntlets, and other equipment one by one.

"Although it's none of your business, Jack I was doing recon. I'm not stupid enough to attack Bain's fortress on my own." She replied as she was slowly stripping out of her clothes starting from her top to her leggings and boots, which was distracting Jack from the fight itself. " So um...it's still dangerous Sam...you could have been caught or worse." He looked at her bare backside. She turned around and he gasped. his whole body harding in presence of her beautiful body. "Jack, I'm a big girl I can take care of myself." He advanced her their mouths were only inches apart. "I know that, but I don't know what I will do if any thing would happen to you, Sam." The fiery fight that was in her eyes only a moment ago turned into a whirlwind of emotions. "I know you want to fight this for me, or fight it beside me...but you can't. You have to stay safe, Bain would do anything to take you away from me. And then I would only be shell of myself."

"So why don't we watch each other's backs. Like always."

She gave him one her genuine hundred watt smiles. "Partners, huh?" He winked at her. "For Life." And he sealed that promise with a kiss, and many other things as the day waned into night.

Bain looked pleased. Which worried everyone around him. When Bain looked pleased with himself that could only mean one thing: Something bad was going to happen. He looked over to Selene, the beautiful seer that was once was apart of the royal court of Caredanal. she had short copper hair, with blue eyes to match. She was beautiful, yet it was a pity that he couldn't have his way with her. The prophecies will stop if he or any man was to take her virtue (A/N I know I'm stealing for the scorpion king, but hey it's fan fiction, right?) " Selene, you did well. Why would I be surprised that the Queen herself would come here at all, with the knowledge that man who engineer the end of her region lays not only a couple thousand meters from her. She was never the one to lack boldness."

Eric strided down the solar and kneeled before his lord. "My Lord, what you have requested is already in action." Bain gave an almost gleefully smile. "Excellent. Any news of the foreigners?"

" Yes, my spy reports that Queen has already bedded one of them."

"Hmm...Interesting make sure the spy keeps a close eye on that one. It might be some use for me later."

"I agree, my Lord." bowed Eric

"Well, things are certaintly looking up. I will have Carandal soon, and after that the Queen will be at my mercy."
