Chapter 8
Teal'c and Cameron had managed to make it about halfway to the 'gate when they heard a noise in the distance.
Cameron held up his head, reluctantly, but couldn't see anyone. Then they heard something again. It was dark, and hard to see.
Teal'c leaned Cameron against a tree, then drew his weapon, one of the lasers he had picked up before they left the cave. Cameron slid down a bit as Teal'c released his grip, but managed to stay upright. Teal'c stood quiet for a moment, then moved quickly behind a tree as a figure appeared from the dark.
"Sam?" Cameron said, a little louder than needed.
"Cam? Are you all right? Where's Teal'c?" asked the familiar voice. "Jesus, I've been worried to death about you."
Teal'c moved out from behind the tree and walked up to Sam. "You have been greatly missed," he told her, slightly bowing his head.
Sam clicked the button on her radio, then spoke into it. "Carr, Jamison, you guys? I found them. Meet me back at the 'gate." She turned back to the others and noticed that Mitchell was sliding down the tree he was leaning against. "Cameron? Teal'c, what happened?" She hurried over to Cameron, then put his arm around her neck, just as Teal'c had before.
"He was badly wounded in a fight," Teal'c told her, then continued. "We must hurry to the stargate if we wish to reach Earth alive. They will be sending reinforcements very soon."
Sam nodded, then started walking toward the stargate with Cameron leaning on her, Teal'c assuming the guardrole.
About an hour later, Cameron started stumbling around, speaking incoherently.
"Mitchell, we're almost to the 'gate. A few more miles, and we're there. You've made it this far, you can get there. C'mon, buddy," she said to him as they continued their hike.
Cameron looked at his boots as they walked. 'Left, right, left, right, left, right...' He'd been trying to keep his mind off of the pain, but it wasn't working too well.
"Sam?" he mumbled.
"Yeah?" she answered.
"Are we there, yet?"
She almost laughed. It was just like him. "Almost, Mitchell."
"'S'a joke," he said quietly.
He'd had his eyes closed nearly the entire time they'd been walking, just letting Sam lead him. He'd stumbled a few times, over a few tree roots and rocks.
A few minutes later, Sam smiled. "We're here, Mitchell," she told him.
Cameron looked up to see the stargate, just as Sam had told him. "Sam?" he said mumbled again.
"Yeah, Cam?" she said as she set him down against the DHD, and Jamison began dialing.
"Thanks for the rescue," he said.
"Anytime, Colonol," Sam replied.
A moment later, the stargate activated, then Teal'c walked over to Mitchell and lifted him to his feet.
A few more steps, and they were through the stargate.
As they reached the other side, Mitchell's knees gave out, and he would've fallen on his face if Teal'c hadn't been there. Teal'c eased him onto his back as Dr. Lam ran into to Embarkation Room.
She leaned over him and anylized his wounds, and before he knew it, he was in the infirmary staring at a bright light.
"Cameron, can you hear me? Colonol Mitchell?" he heard someone say. He looked around, but everything was becoming dark. He was tired, and his muscles hurt, and he needed a vacation. He finally closed his eyes and fell unconcious.
"He's out of it," said Carolyn to Landry as she looked at Mitchell's unconcious form.
"I'm just glad to have them back," said Landry, then left the room.
The next chapter should be up soon. Again, sorry it's taken so long. Thanks for the reviews!
