Chapter 3.
Disclaimer: Bah, humbug. I don't own them (darn it)
Author's notes: I live for reviews so PURLEASE review! Or I may have to resort to whining/ moaning/stamping my foot. You get the picture…I really appreciate any ideas you may have and your opinion on how this is going so far: )
I cannot write in Norwegian, so probably from now onwards I may just do ((English words masquerading as Norwegian go here)) to indicate their language. Zwahahaha!
Okayyy...Now back to the story :)
"Oh great. Just great. My day just keeps getting better and better. How am I evil anyway?" whined Jack. "I'm not even annoying!"
The rest of the team remained silent. Teal'c raised his eyebrow and it almost disappeared into his gold emblem of the false god Apophis.
Teal'c thought of his whining. Sam thought of his sarcasm. Daniel thought of how he always called his precious artifacts 'rocks'
"OK. Maybe a smidgen" allowed Jack.
However, their bickering was caught short as suddenly a blinding flash of light came from seemingly nowhere at the top of the pit and a loud screeching sounded. Daniel, Sam, Teal'c and Jack held their heads in pain and fell to the floor unconscious.
Well, well, well. What do we have here? questioned a young female around her early twenties, (if you were to guess). She wore a long red robe made of silk Her dark black hair cascaded out behind her and her skin was so pale it was tinged with blue
((Oh great and wonderful master Vadjra)) … complimented the leader of the tribe of natives,
((Thank you for bestowing on us your benevolence and company)) he now bent to the floor intent on kissing her feet, but she kicked out and caught him round the jaw. ((I do not tolerate being interrupted unless you have good cause, and NEVER touch me again, or it will be more than just your teeth you lose, do you understand?)) The native leader, otherwise known as Uri, looked up with frightened eyes at his God, instinctively holding his hand to his mouth, and saw the vengeful, eyes of a God. The glowing vengeful eyes of a God.
((Leave me!)) shouted Vadjra, looking down at the unconscious form of the four team-mates. The natives almost tripped over each other in their frenzy to escape their angry God and soon disappeared into the shadows. Vadjra looked down at them and grinned obscenely, her smile so wide it showed all the top of her teeth and the skin stretched so far that it began to tear.
Teal'c was the first to awaken, stiffening slightly as he became aware of his surroundings; a hard wooden table with a very angry Gould peering over at him.
"De er en forræder til Deres gud" announced Vadjra. Teal'c didn't answer and once she saw he didn't understand , Vadjra reverted to English.
"You are a TRAITOR TO YOUR GOD" she yelled, releasing some of her pent up frustration. Teal'c remained stoic and replied, "False God." This only served to infuriate her further and so she backhanded him. "It does not matter though. Your genetic makeup protects you from 'mimai, kikumai and hanasumai', so you will just have to watch your friends suffer instead.
Teal'cs stomach churned at the last comment although he showed no outward emotion. Vadjra uncovered her pale arm from underneath her robe and revealed a strange gouald device, long and silver with two stones that wrapped around her arm. She pressed one button and a flash of light, quite similar to the earlier flash of light filled the room. Teal'c squinted and when the light died down he was able to see his comrades on the floor, quite out of it. Teal'c mused about how O'Neill still managed to have a pissed off look on his face even in a state of unconsciousness.
"beskyttere" Yelled Vadjra and soon five guards stormed into the room, so Teal'c assumed it must have meant guards, although languages were Daniel's forte.
"Vekk dem" Three of the Guards held them down and the other two started kicking Sam, Daniel and Jack until they woke up, struggling and yelling. Then they stopped and backed away.
"So. You come to invade my planet with your machines and troops,"
Dainel immediately interrupted "We're just peaceful explorers from Earth and my name is…"
"Your name is unimportant. What is important is that you interrupted your God. For this you will pay dearly.
She looked upwards and started muttering "Jeg påkaller de tre vise apekattene gjøre deres verst"
Daniel screamed, a hollow sharp cry, grabbing at his throat wildly. He started choking and spluttering uncontrollably. Jack lunged at Vadjra, intent on stopping her from continuing whatever she was doing to Daniel but several Guards quickly intervened, one firing a staff weapon at Jack's thigh. " Oh God, why the thigh? Can't you have variety in your lifestyle?"
"Stop It!" Yelled Sam, also grappling with the guards, who just laughed.
Vadjra replied "Don't worry, your time will come yet."
Daniel started turning an interesting shade of blue and was it not such a dire situation, Jack would have likened him to a smurf.
Daniel fell to the floor, still clutching at his throat, until suddenly, whatever had been so painful released its grip on him and he looked around and saw Sam.
"Are you ok?" She questioned carefully
Daniel looked back at her and opened his mouth…but nothing came out. He tried again, nothing. He tried shouting and the silence was deafening. Frantic he looked around at the team but they were out of ideas.
Vadjra smiled demonically and glanced at the other two. Now you know my intentions, ive always thought it rude to keep someone waiting, so on with the show. Carter looked about to protest, but suddenly found herself in excruciating pain. It felt as though her eyes were on fire and she vaguely realised someone was screaming nearby. Sam vainly tried to shake off whatever was overtaking her sight and suddenly realised that the screaming was coming from herself. Her eyes clouded with tears and her vision began to mist over. "Colonel, Teal'c, Daniel?"
She staggered around and heard laughter through her haze of pain.
As soon as the pain had come, it began to subside and blinked her now useless eyes in disbelief. Blind painc overtook her and she fell over something hard and sharp.
"Carter, stay still." Ordered Jack, to which she reluctantly obeyed.
Suddenly Daniel had a brainwave. The three wise monkeys, one couldn't hear, another couldn't see and the third couldn't talk. (Ah. Small Problem…) The third monkey was himself. Daniel wondered how he was going to be able to communicate this information with the others without the use of his voice. One of his most prized possessions, but he figured the overused cliché was right. 'You don't know what you got 'till its gone.'
"Aww crud" muttered Jack, guessing what was about to happen now…
More authors notes: I figured 'the native leader' had gone without a name for long enough…and you don't know how annoying tying out 'the native leader' repeatedly really is!
Yet more authors notes: Well, I hope you liked my cliffhanger, feedback REALLY appreciated, so I know what you think! part four soon(er or later depending on whether I get feedback. Hint hint…)
