"Kill the two men," Qetesh had ordered her Jaffa earlier "leave the female to me."
Her Jaffa had skillfully separated the trio and distracted Sam while Qetesh slunk through the brush. Stalking her quarry like a lioness Qetesh silently came up behind Sam without being noticed.
After taking a moment to size up the situation Qetesh reached up and grabbed a mouthful of Sam's jacket. After an initial yelp Sam froze in hopes that whatever had just bitten down on her clothing would simply let go.
Qetesh had no intention of releasing her grip. She slowly started to back up forcing Sam to walk with her. When Sam tried to call for help Qetesh growled menacingly. Together they made their way out of the clearing and back into the lush forest.
Once in cover Qetesh released her hostage. Sam pulled out her sidearm and aimed it directly between Qetesh's eyes. Qetesh was pleased to see that the woman did not hesitate to pull the trigger, it showed she had strength. However the weapon just clicked in impotence.
"The Guardian does not allow weapons to work so close to her Tree." Qetesh informed.
To Sam's ears the jackal was just snarling at her. She dropped the useless gun and took a few cautious steps back. Qetesh smiled and drove Sam back further. She wanted to get further away from the Tree to make sure that the Guardian didn't come to disturb her.
Qetesh managed to get Carter to break into a run. She enjoyed the chase and easily kept pace. Each time Sam tried to turn to run back towards the Tree Qetesh jumped out in front of her and bared her gleaming white fangs.
When Qetesh decided that they were far enough from the Tree she knocked Sam to the mossy forest floor. Sam landed hard on her back, but quickly sat up enough to scramble back. When she found herself backed up against a tree she cast her eyes about, looking for a weapon, but found none.
"I like your spirit." Qetesh chuckled.
"Easy, girl..." Sam said softly to try and to pacify the jackal "I'm not going to hurt you..."
"I know." Qetesh mocked.
The jackal stepped closer, licking her muzzle. Sam gasped in shock as Qetesh's green eyes suddenly flashed a glowing white.
"You are beautiful." Qetesh purred. "A perfect host...it is going to feel so good to be human again."
