Hidden Truth

"What is this?" Vala asked, as she poked her fork at the jell-o. The blue jell-o jiggled at the touch. It amused Vala, to no extent. It was an interesting food…and she was to eat it! "How do you expect me to eat this, if it moves? I do not eat creatures alive." She pushed the jell-o away disgusted that they were making her eat this.

"No it's not alive. Not at all. It jiggles because of its texture. There's no animal in it at all. I promise." Daniel showed her by eating some jello of his own. "See anything I eat is good, because I'm a picky eater." Teenage Vala amazed Daniel. She was so nice, and kind, and obedient. Very unlike adult Vala, and little Vala. Something must have happened in her past that made her change her personality so many times.

"Why do you look at me, like I'm something to study?" Vala noticed his look, and zipped the jacket up. She did not enjoy the look was giving her, although part of her did. She pushed it to the back of her mind. Then it hit her, Quetesh was coming soon to her home planet. "Oh no." was all she said, before she fled Daniel, and the guards. She made it quickly to the gate room, and stood on the platform.

"Please! Dial my planet! We must save them all from Quetesh. She is coming to choose a new host, and it was rumored my little sister was going to be it. Please you have to help me!" The guards surrounded her, put she shoved them away. Why do you not listen? You say you're here to help me, so do so!" She shoved away more guards.

"Vala, please calm down. We can't dial you're planet. It was destroyed many years ago." Daniel rushed into the gate room after her. "Please, just come with me. I'll explain it all." Daniel held out his hand to her. She glared at him, and shoved him back just like the rest.

"It wasn't destroyed years ago. Only days ago, I was there! Eating supper with mother and father. Now Dial the Plata gate!" She cursed in an unknown language under her breath. "Do it now I demand you to do it now!" She stomped her foot on the metal of the ramp.

"Vala, tomorrow…we...we'll take you throw to your planet. Alright?" not particularly satisfied, completely Vala stormed out of the gate room and to her quarters. Daniel, side and followed the steaming black haired girl. He knocked on the door, a few seconds after it was slammed in his face.

"Go away, you're not here to help me. You just want to take advantage of me, and place more lies within my head." She hissed from the other side of the door.

"I just want to talk. I promise that's it. Just talk to me for a couple minutes, that's all I want." Daniel tried to reason with her. The door opened a crack. Vala sat down on the bed, her knees gathered up to her chest,

"I need to save my family. They need me. My little sister needs me. Please you have to help me. I don't want to be with out them in their time of need." She looked at him, her eyes begging him, pleading him, willing him to do as she says.

"You care for you're family a whole bunch don't you?" Daniel moved into the room, and sat next to her on the bed. His hands in his lap, his eyes on the floor. It was about time he learned the truth about Vala's past.

"Only my little sister, which I can't do anymore. I lied to you. I'm very sorry. But Quetesh is not coming for my sister, but she is coming for me. She requested me, and if I am not there to be her knew host, she will kill my whole village. I need to save my people, even if it costs me my life." She explained to him. Daniel pulled her into a hug.

"I'll help you don't worry." Daniel rubbed her back comfortingly.
