Here's a friendly chapter...well...maybe not friendly but here's another chapter for you loyal readers. As of last night, this story was completed. So counting the epilogue there are about two chapters left. But don't worry. I am starting on the sequel to this today.Once I get enough of that written, it'll be posted up. So no one go freaking out about how this fic ends.

You know the routine by now so I'm not even going to say it all other than not mine.

"He drank your blood Janet!" Sam all but shouted. "That's something I can't forgive. Something no one here can forgive."

"To find my daughter! Something that you and the rest of your team have yet to do! I asked him to do it. My memory of the last two weeks will probably never return. This was the only way! So if you don't like what I asked him to do, don't blame him, blame me. Now I'm going to ask him where my daughter is, and I'm going to go get her!" Janet yelled. She turned away from Sam and headed for the door when Amelia blocked her path.

"No one is allowed to see Dante," she said.

"My daughter is missing. What would you do if our roles were reversed?"

"Probably the same thing," the vampire elder admitted. She turned to Draven. "Dante may be released from his room." Draven nodded and left the tomb chamber.

"You can't be serious," Sam said.

"I am," Amelia said. "You and your friends are allowed to leave at anytime Samantha. I know you want nothing to do with this half of your life."

"With all the lies that go on in this world I really don't," Sam growled. She spun on her heel and stormed out of the room.

Janet sighed and tried to calm herself down. "I didn't mean to cause any…"

"You didn't," Amelia said, cutting her off. "Samantha has been struggling with her vampire side for her entire life. Most Dhampir do. They sometimes have a harder time controlling the blood thirst than normal vampires."

"My lady," Draven said breathlessly. "Dante is not in his room."

"He ran?" Alexander asked.

"No my lord. He was taken. Lucius and his men are also missing."

"I knew it," Amelia growled, her eyes turning feral. "Can we track them?"

"The rain is masking the smell and tracks," Draven said. "And daylight's not far off," he added.

"Get Samantha in here now," Amelia ordered.

Several minutes later Sam was shoved into the room. "You said I could leave if I wanted," she snapped at her mother.

"That was before we knew Dante had been taken," Amelia said. "The cultists have him now."

The anger in Sam ebbed away. "How will we find him?"

"We found this in his room," Draven said, holding up a vial of red liquid.

"Blood?" Daniel asked.

"I think he was going to break out and go after Doctor Fraiser's daughter and left us the way," Draven said.

"Clever boy," Alexander said.

Amelia took the vial. "Prepare your men for tomorrow Draven. This cult will burn by the following dawn." Draven bowed and left the room.

Sam also left and headed for Dante's room. Her friends followed her and shut the door behind them. "What now?" Jack asked.

"We go after them now," Daniel suggested. "I mean, we're not exactly limited by the sun," he added.

"We don't know where Dante went," Sam said.

"Can you not view the blood memories?" Teal'c asked.

Sam shifted uncomfortably. "Sam, I know it probably disgusts you to drink real blood, but Cassie and Dante are captured and will probably die," Janet said.

"I know!" Sam yelled. She slumped down onto the bed. "I know Janet. But I can't. Normal vampires may not taste and feel the difference of the serum blood, but I do. I have to drink a more concentrated form just to stay in control. I don't know what will happen if I drink that."

"We would not let you hurt anyone Major Carter. But the world is counting on you. If we were to attack during the daylight hours, the cultists would be caught unawares and defeated easily," Teal'c said as he knelt down in front of her.

"I'm scared," she whispered.

He rested a hand on top of hers. "You are not alone Samantha," he whispered.

Sam closed her eyes and focused on her breathing. After several minutes she lifted her head and opened her eyes. "Gear up," she said.

"With what? The weapons are down in the dojo and I seriously doubt those two head vampires will let us go," Jack said.

"Here," Janet said, pushing a book on a shelf aside on the back wall. "Dante showed me this," she explained at their looks. The bookshelf slid back and to the side, revealing a large cache of weapons.

"And I thought I was a weapon nut with this stuff," Sam gaped. The team moved in and began grabbing guns and ammo clips.

Janet also geared up, grabbing not just guns, but also a pair of knives that slid up into the sleeves of her jacket. "How are we going to get the vial of Dante's blood?" Daniel asked.

"You just thought of this now?" Jack asked. Daniel shrugged.

"We won't have to," Janet said.

"What?" SG-1 chorused.

Janet pulled out a small vial from a hidden compartment in her boot. "Once Dante knew that the cultists were after him and he knew the location of Cassie he drew his own blood and put it in two vials. He gave one to me for safe keeping."

"To ensure that if he were taken before he could reveal the location the elders would know," Teal'c realized.

Janet nodded and held out the vial to Sam. "At the very least we should be able to hold them back until the others arrive."

Sam took the vial. "Lock the door," she ordered. Teal'c did so and Jack and Daniel stood guard at the door. "Please let this work," she prayed softly. She pulled off the stopper to the vial and quickly downed the contents. She made a face and tightly shut her eyes. Her hands seized into fists and she doubled over as a rush of adrenaline and pleasure erupted in her body. She opened her eyes and her friends could see that they were a vibrant, feral blue.

Sam looked at her friends and leapt towards Jack and Daniel. Teal'c was suddenly in front of her and forced her back. "It is us, your friends Samantha," Teal'c said, twisting Sam so her back was against his chest. He trapped her arms and held her tightly and she struggled wildly against him. His muscles bulged with the strain and a faint gleam of sweat glistened on his face.

"Focus Carter!" Jack ordered.

Sam's eyes shut and violently shook her head. After a moment her eyes opened, revealing their normal blue hue. "Sorry," she said softly.

"You did not hurt anyone," Teal'c said, slowly releasing her.

"I know where they are," she said. She grabbed a shotgun from the hidden cache and closed it. "Let's blow this Popsicle stand," she said. She walked to the window and shoved it opened.

"You expect us to jump three stories?" Jack asked incredulously.

Sam grinned cockily. "Don't worry. I'll catch you." She jumped up on the ledge and dropped down.

"We've done crazier things," Jack muttered. He got up on the ledge, let out a breath, and jumped down. He felt himself freefalling for several seconds before coming to a sudden stop. Thinking he had hit the ground, he cautiously opened his eyes and saw Sam holding him. She set him down, the cocky grin still on her face.

As she opened her mouth to say something he held up his hand. "Not. One. Word," he ordered, brushing himself off.

Sam shrugged and easily caught Daniel. Janet came down next and the three humans and the Dhampir looked up at Teal'c. "You're going to catch him too?" Daniel asked, looking at Sam.

"No problem," she said. She motioned Teal'c down and a moment later the large Jaffa was plummeting towards the ground. Sam jumped up and grabbed a hold of him. They landed somewhat heavily on the ground, but there were no injuries on either of them. Teal'c bowed his head his thanks.

"You must work out," Jack grinned.

"Come on," Sam said, ignoring the joke. They piled into her car and she drove away from the mansion.

"So where we going?" Janet asked.

"A graveyard."

"Why there? Wouldn't it be smarter for these guys to summon this Lilith someplace you guys normally wouldn't look?" Jack asked.

"The cemetery we're going to is where Lilith was supposedly killed and buried," Sam said. "How true that is though is questionable." She shifted gears and the car went faster. "And don't worry about us being pulled over. Cops won't see us. These are all back roads." She shifted gears again and they went faster.

After nearly an hour of driving, Sam stopped the car just outside the graveyard. They piled out of the car and retrieved their weapons from the trunk. Sam cocked the shotgun and looked at her friends.

"So what's the plan?" Jack asked.

Sam looked in the graveyard and took a deep breath in through her nose. Her nostrils flared as she breathed out and she opened her eyes. "This won't be easy. I'd understand if you guys wanted out," she said.

"Nothing in our lives is ever easy Carter. Besides, Cassie's family. No one messes with this family and gets away with it," Jack said.

Sam nodded. "Let's do this then." She turned to her friends. "So what is the plan?" she asked.

Ooohhhh...the final showdown for this fic is coming up next chapter! What will happen? Who will win? Why am I asking you so many questions when you don't know the answers? Why can't I suddenly stop speaking in...:gets smacked in head and lies on ground:

Sam: She's not going to be happy when she wakes up sir.

Jack: Who cares? She was annoying me with questions. Besides, I wanted a turn at her Playstation 2. It's my turn to play Dragonball Z: Budokai 3.

:Daniel and Sam roll eyes while Teal'c arches brow:

Sam: Um...if anyone's still reading this you should probably review. But don't say anything about us being here. You didn't see anything...

Janet: You've been watching Madagascar too much.
