This is a short chapter. I'm working on the next big scene. (Smiling maniacally)


"ZZZZZZ."

WHACK

"I didn't do it! It was Daniel." Jack shouted falling out of his seat.

"Sir, stop falling asleep." Sam said looking down at him.

"Wait where was I again?" Daniel asked looking at his notes.

"Cassandra was crying from the top of the tower, DanielJackson." Teal'c replied.

'Oh, yeah. Anyway…"

Sir Jack and Sam turned toward the tower. Sir Jack was beginning to become worried at the lack of guards. Lord Norten had many men in his service of their own free will and hundreds more that we're little more than slaves. At the very least some servants should have been around.

"I do not like this," Sir Jack said pulling Sam behind him, "where are the guards? Where are the house servants cleaning up? Where are Norten's accursed dogs?"

"It's as if everyone has just vanished into thin air." Sam said from behind him.

Suddenly there came a crash behind them. Both spun around swords drawn. Someone was behind them mumbling curses under their breath. Sir Jack flattened against the wall next to the doorway ready to strike down whomever was following them.

" Lady Sam, I ..AGGGGHHH!" Henry screamed as he entered the door and saw the sword swinging down toward him.

Sir Jack pulled up at the last second nearly cleaving the boy in two.

"What are you doing here!" Sir Jack hissed at him between clenched teeth." I could have killed you, you idiot. Not to mention that the entire castle now knows we're here."

Henry still huddled on the floor shaking."That's just it, Sir Jack. There IS NO ONE here. Their all gone."

"What?" Sir Jack hissed pulling him to his feet.

"He is correct." Teal'c said, "All of Norten's men are gone."

"How could they slip past us in the night?" Sam asked looking back and forth between the men.

Sir Jack looked silently at Teal'c. The two of them exchanged worried glances. Norten was up to something. He never would leave his castle exposed like this. Unless…

"Where is Sir Graham? " Sir Jack asked Henry, as he grabbed Sam's hand.

"He was looking for someone, anyone in the other tower." Henry said with fear in his eyes.

"We're leaving." Sir Jack said.

"NO," Sam cried, "I can not leave with out Cassandra. Lord knows what that monster has done to her. I will not leave this castle with out her."

"We do not know that she is even here. For all we know that voice calling from the tower was a trick to lead us here."

"Why you.. coward!" Sam cried smacking Sir Jack." You would leave a child locked in a tower?"

THUNK!

"Hey! That's not nice." Jack cried as he was pushed from the couch.

Sam and Cassie giggled from the couch they had now taken over.

Jack grumbled as he took a seat on the floor next to Sam.

"May I continue?" Daniel asked slightly annoyed.

"Yes, please do." Sam said.

Sir Jack grabbed her and yanked her close. Sam could she the fire in his eyes."NEVER smack me again, your highness. We will rescue the girl. But this is just wrong. Norten doesn't leave himself open to attacks like this."

Suddenly, a loud boom filled the air. The four of them ran out to the hall. They all looked on in horror as smoke rolled into the room from the direction of the far staircase. From the smoke the figure of Sir Graham appeared. Sam ran to his side to give him aid.

"What happened?" Sir Jack asked leaning over the coughing man.

"He set up..cough..some kind of…cough…trap. When I turned the handle on the door leading to the Watchmen's Walk, I heard something click. I ducked down thinking I had hit an arrow trap. But the door and walls burst into flames." Sir Graham said.

"Damn that man. Where is he?" Sir Jack said straighten and surveying the room.

"Sir Jack," Sir Graham said from the floor," I believe that the camp is in great danger. I saw the trail of many horses going into the woods."

Sir Jack and Teal'c looked at each other. Sir Jack grabbed Sam and began running out of the building. Teal'c and Henry supported Sir Graham between them.

"Where are we going?" Sam asked as they ran from the building. Behind them could be heard a great roar." RUN!" Sir Jack yelled as a wave of heat slammed into them.

Sam looked back in horror as Lord Norten's castle erupted in flame.

"Noooooooo!" She screamed as they ran into the woods.

"WHAT THE FREIL!"

Everyone listening to the story jumped.

"Make a guy go deaf why don't you Carter!" Jack yelled.

"Daniel, I know you DID NOT just kill Cassie!" Sam said glaring at Daniel.

Daniel 'took cover' behind Teal'c

"Run, Danny, run! Carter's going to hurt you." Jack said from the floor.

If looks could kill Daniel would be dead!

"Now, Sam, let me finish" Daniel said.

"Daniel!"

"EEEHHHPPP!" Daniel screamed running out of the room.
