Wolves Among Sheep
Disclaimer: I do not own any of Stargate SG1; I'm just borrowing them for a bit of twisted fun.
Summary: The Ancient's gene is rare and those who have it are considered very lucky, but in an alternate reality the gene is a death sentence. So how did Jack and Daniel end up with two adopted Daughters who could potentially be the answer to all their prayers?
Warnings: Um none for this chapter, except maybe a lot of confusion…heh…
Dedicated to my good friend Lisa… (Please don't get the baseball bat out again… I promise this one will be updated!)
Ok so you've read the summary, you know this fic is set in present episodes (Dec 2005), and you remember who the author is of this fic and don't actually trust her to finish this SG1 fic because she neglected her other one for a LONG time and in the end deleted it…and you still want to read it?
Wow, you guys are mad…JOIN THE CLUB!
Chapter One: Genocide…
Silence….
The Gate-Port was deserted and they were the only two in the building except for the army of Ori followers who were chasing them. Lisa, a young girl of 13 years, sneaked a peak around the slightly ajar cupboard door. Her sky blue eyes searched for any signs of the enemy; two black army issue boots greeted her and she silently gulped. The enemy was right outside their hiding place.
Maria, the other one, held onto Lisa's wrist tightly, afraid to be left alone in the blood thirsty Earth they called home. They were both afraid. They hadn't done anything wrong, they'd lived by the Book of Origin, admittedly they didn't like it but they did it…so why were they being chased? Why did they need to die?
The man outside disappeared down the hall way and out of sight. Lisa carefully stood up bringing Maria to her feet too. She checked and double checked that the coast was clear then moved swiftly out of the cupboard and headed to the Gates. They had to dodge several Ori soldiers before they found the rooms, but they did it.
A soldier rounded the corner as the two teens ducked behind a large wall that lead to the basement of the vast building. A sudden shout made their hearts jump. Damnit! They'd been spotted. Lisa grabbed Maria's hand and dragged her in the opposite direction to the gates and down a white hall way.
Gunshots followed them as they ran around the mazelike corridors in search of a safe place to hide or an exit that didn't lead to an untimely death. The two girls ran blindly round a corner only to suddenly stop in the middle. Ahead of them was a barricade of men armed to the teeth and aiming their P-90s at them, behind were the men who were chasing them, and to either side were bare white walls. There was no escape. The fright was evident on their faces as they looked in every direction trying to find a way out. But every exit door slammed shut in their faces.
"Come on now, come quietly. We don't want to hurt you." One handsome faced man said as he placed his gun carefully on the floor, hoping to gain some trust. He had no chance. Maria gripped Lisa's hand and began to hyperventilate.
"Eu não volto…" her whispered words began to echo around them as they both stood in the middle of two brutal groups of men. There had to be a way out; there is always a way out. Then Lisa suddenly clicked; it was a long shot but it could work.
She squeezed Maria's hand tightly then held her other hand out in front of her. If there was ever a time for something right to happen in her life it was now. She knew she had no control but it was a last resort at freedom.
Her blue eyes narrowed to a concentrated glare at the group who were blocking their way to begin with. Her mouth was slightly parted as she began to regulate her breathing, trying to bring her power to the surface. She felt it bubbling up inside her coming to the surface, felt it building up, the pressure mounting. A thin trickle of crimson liquid escaped her nose as she stepped forward and pushed the air between them and the men.
Maria watched amazed as the men flew a good 6ft in the air backwards and hit the floor hard. She winced as the sound of bodies hitting ceramic floors hit her ears but she had no time to register anything else as Lisa pulled her forward. They jumped over the semi conscious bodies and ran for the next corridor that would hopefully lead them to the upper gate levels.
Lisa's nose bleed seemed to have stopped, it happened every time she used her power but now was not the time to speculate. They ran on and on, dodging more men as they sprung from everywhere. Then they rounded the final corner only to come face to face with the Pryor himself, the one who had poisoned the minds of the Earth Leaders. They skidded to a stop and stood in shock as the Pryor turned his steely white gaze on them. This was the very man they were running from, the very evil they were escaping…
"Play time is over children." His voice seemed to shatter the trance like spell his presence had temporarily set upon them. Lisa balled her fists and Maria stood taller and braced herself for the worst. This was it; this was the moment in which the rest of their lives would be affected by.
"We not go back." This time it was Maria who'd found the courage first to fight back with her broken English. "We do no bad, you not do this!" She glared at the man who'd taken her life from her, who'd lied to her and poisoned her friend's minds. All of her problems began with this man in one way or another and she was sick and tired of it all.
"Why you're truanting from school, you're obscuring others from learning, and you're running amok in the hall ways of the SG Planet-port." His blind eyes bored into her hazel coloured ones as she glared back at him barely controlling the rage that was rising in her. The situation was getting far too dangerous Lisa noted. They'd long ago found out that Maria was the more able to find her power and thus stronger than any of her class mates but Lisa was more skilful, more practiced, something her powerful friend lacked severely. This was a dangerous moment for both parties.
"That no school! That prison!" Maria's temper was running short and her usually long patience was wearing thin, this was just too personal to keep her cool for long. "Eu não volto!" An eerie wind picked up around them as Maria's power came rushing to the surface and Lisa could foresee destruction like none other. But quicker than a flash of light the Pryor lifted his staff and pointed it at the brunettes head.
Maria stopped in her tracks as if frozen in time, her face contorted in a "beyond aggressive" expression, she was almost animal like. But Lisa wasn't far behind her. Yet before either could react, Maria slumped to the floor semi conscious. Lisa caught her before she did anymore damage to herself but she noticed that the Pryor also collapsed. Pushing her worry to the back of her head, she wasted no time in taking the opportunity as it was handed to her and forced Maria to groggily move forward into the Gate rooms.
Using her newly found skill she tried to move the metal door of the entrance to close. It took several attempts but she finally managed to secure the doors shut. Then she looked around for the first time at the purpose of the building; several Stargates were positioned along the middle of the room, each hooked up to a DHD and a Reality Alternator mirror. Carpets lined the steps that lead up to the big stone circles and seats were provided for those who would wait for their timed leave. A big holographic billboard hung above them showing the timed departures and arrivals that they had thrown out of balance.
A loud bang echoed from the large locked door behind her and she quickly focused on the first DHD she could find and fired it up to the first planet address that came to her head. She didn't know how she knew the address and she didn't question it either, as long as it worked she didn't care how it had to happen, just as long as Maria stayed conscious long enough for them to escape.
She watched mesmerised as the large stone ring began to engage to another planet, but a loud explosion made her duck down. Maria groaned as she hit the hard floor, Lisa suspected she'd been put into a drugged stupor but she couldn't be sure. Another blast sounded, and just as the wormhole connected another explosion made her body vibrate with the closeness of its position. They had broken through. She looked up and found the Reality Alternator had taken the hit, not enough to break it but enough to show that she'd be a mere splat on the floor had she not ducked. She looked to the stone ring and found that the Stargate had connected successfully. She wasted no time as she hauled Maria up to her unstable feet and forced her groggy legs up the steps.
Several blasts sounded behind her as she pushed herself and Maria forward and through the big blue puddle…just as the Reality Alternator took another hit and exploded…
