Here it is! Chapter 2! Thank you everyone for you replies, I really appreciate them. And thanks for reading to the people who didn't reply. Hope you like!

Chapter two:

"Carson!" Mckay yelled. He ran over to and knelt down next to his wounded friend. "Carson, are you alright?" he asked over the noise of gunfire. Teyla had apparently spotted one of their attackers.

"I'll be fine. It's just my leg." Beckett replied. Clutching his thigh. The arrow had lodged itself in his leg, the head of which was sticking three inches out of the back of his thigh.

Beckett grabbed Mckay's vest and pulled him to the ground, also lowering his own head right as another arrow flew past them.

They sat back up, Mckay looking shocked, frightened, and gracious all at the same time.

"We need to get out of the open. Do you think you can stand and hobble over to those trees?" Mckay asked, already standing up with his hand outstretched towards Beckett, aware of the large amount of projectiles that were flying past them. "Thank god these people had bad aim or we'd be dead right now", he thought.

"Yeah. I think so." Carson answered, grabbing Rodney's hand and cringing as he tried to stand.

"Come on. Here. Lean on me." Mckay said, throwing Beckett's arm over his shoulder and practically dragging him over to the trees. They heard the gun fire stop. Teyla must've run out of bullets.

"Stay here, I'm going to go see if Teyla's alright." Mckay said, carefully lowering Beckett to the ground. There were a lot of low hanging branches, thickly laden with leaves, providing good cover for Carson.

"Rodney. Where do ye think I'm going to go? I've been shot threw the leg. I can't exactly get up and run away."

"Right. Sorry. Well, um, just try not to draw attention to yourself. I'll be right back."

The arrows had stopped flying, and Mckay could see people emerging from behind the trees, holding bows and axes.

Teyla was holding two sticks she'd picked up after her ammo had run out. She was walking sideways towards Mckay, so as not to turn her back to her enemies.

Mckay was pointing his gun at one of the men who was pointing an arrow at him, looking terrified at the realization of how outnumbered they were.

"I have tried contacting Col. Sheppard but my radio is not working." Teyla whispered as she approached Mckay.

"Are you okay?" He asked her.

"I will be fine." She answered, though her arm was dripping with blood.

"Good. Carson was shot in the leg and, and...- what are they doing?" Mckay said, staring at the people in front of him, half of them had started walking off into the woods and the other half started walking towards them. Then the people in front of them suddenly stopped, about ten feet away from them. They still had their weapons drawn and they were still pointing them at Teyla and Mckay. They all stood there for a few moments. No one moving. Then all of a sudden one of the men in front nodded his head and the people standing next to them started walking to the side, making a circle aroundthe two of themso that there was no where to run.

Mckay looked at Teyla. She had an"I'm trying to think of a plan. Give me a second." look on her face. It wasn't very reassuring.

"Lower your weapons!" Demanded a voice from behind them. They turned around in time to see four people stepping out from behind the trees, one of them holding a knife to the throat of Dr. Beckett.

"Carson!" Rodney said, mentally cursing himself for leaving his injured friend alone.

Beckett was getting paler by the second. While he was hiding he'd taken the arrow out of his leg and bandaged it up. It had gone all the way through his leg and even though the bandage was tight the wound was still bleeding profusely.

"I'll say it again." The woman said. She was wearing a skirt made out of a dark brownish-red leather that went down to her knees and a bodice made of the same material. There was a knife attached to her belt and the handle of another one was visible from the top of her boot. She had long brown hair that was pulled back into a half pony-tail, reveling two piercing, purple eyes. "Lower your weapons. All of them." She said, indicating the knives on their belts. "I do not want anyone to get injured." Glancing at Teyla's arm and the at Beckett's leg, she added, "Anymore than they already are."

Mckay looked at Teyla again. She nodded her head and they both knelt down and put their weapons on the ground. Once they stood back up the woman nodded her head and two large, tall men came up to them and grabbed their arms.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Mckay shouted, "what the hell do you think you're doing?" He was struggling to keep his arms free. Teyla was doing the same, only she was actually succeeding.

The woman stared at Mckay for a moment, "What is your name?" She asked.

"Rodney Mckay." he answered, staring back at her.

"Well, Rodney, you're only doing yourself and your friends, harm by fighting," she paused and looked at Teyla and Beckett. "I do not wish to hurt you. Any of you. The binding of your hands is for protection."

"You already took our weapons away."

"You don't expect me to believe you couldn't defend yourselves without your weapons, now do you?" She said, raising her eyebrows and letting a small smile cross her face. Mckay was silent. "I didn't think so. Now, hands behind your back."

Rodney and Teyla, who had started scowling by now, did as they were told. The two men who had tried to tie their arms together before resumed their task, this time succeeding.

The man who had been holding the knife at Beckett's throat sheathed the blade and put the Doctor's arm over his shoulder, the way Mckay had done, steading him and preparing him to walk. There was no need to bind Carson's hands, since the man was nearly unconscious by now.

"Thank you." The woman said, smiling again, "follow me." She started walking over to the still glowing path. Since they had no other choice, they followed.

"It's been over fifteen minuets." Col. Sheppard said to Ronon as he checked his watch. He pushed a button on his radio, "Teyla." he said into it. There was no response. "Teyla!" he repeated. He and Ronon stopped walking and turned around, getting ready to return to the gate. "Mckay!" He said into the radio, "Beckett?" There was still no reply.

"Come on." he said to Ronon, "let's head back to the gate." They started running back the way they'd come, ducking glow hanging branches and jumping over protruding roots.

When they reached the gate they tried contacting the rest of their team again, and again there was no response.

"Dammit!" Sheppard cursed, looking to the right, "come on," he repeated to Ronon, walking quickly in the direction that Teyla, Rodney, and Carson had. Luckily the two of them could easily tell which way their friends has gone by the trail of broken tree limbs and bits of ground with trampled leaves where they'd been walked on.

"Shouldn't we contact Dr. Weir and tell her what's happened?" Ronon asked.

"We would if we knew what happened. For all we know Mckay could've found something around that light that's causing interference with the radios. There's no need to jump the gun."

Again, I'm a slow writer so chapter three may also take a few days. I've got schoolwork to do, so that's kind of interfering with the amount of time I can devote to writing, butI will try to finish as soon as possible. :)
