I am so sorry I made you wait for this chapter! It was really hard for me to write. I had half of it done but once I got to a certain part I was just stuck. The title will be explained near the end. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 10
"Cat Fight"

She grabbed his hands and pushed them away from her closing her eyes tightly. Daniel leaned forward but she wiggled deeper into the corner as she whimpered again.

"Qetesh are you alright?" he whispered as he grabbed her hands with one hand reached out to touch her cheek but she flinched. "Shh, its going to be alright."

"Stop touching me!" she screeched and tried to kick him away. "Stay away from me...please." Her body was shacking violently as he only seemed to get closer. "I said stay away!" Using the strength she had she pushed him away and stood up running to the other side of the room.

"Qetesh, don't you recognize me? Its me Daniel."

"I know who you are!" she whimpered, "I just want to be alone, Daniel."

"I'm not leaving until you tell me what is going on," he reached out his arms blocking her way around him. "Now stop running."

"Please, just go" she cried and leaned against the wall. "Its best if you stay out of this."

"Qetesh..."

"Stop calling me that! Now get out!" she creamed. Daniel slowly walked towards her, stopping in front of her he pulled her into a light hug.

"Calm down...just explain this to me." Her arms wrapped tightly around this neck after a moment of hesitation and let out all the built up emotion. Leaning back he smiled at her, "now that wasn't so bad. Now tell me what's wrong." He whispered and grazed her cheek with his thumb staring into her eyes.

"Nothing," she whispered.

"Wait," he whispered as he grabbed her face gently and his eyes inspected hers. They lacked something Qetesh had in hers, anger? Yet they were filled with so much more. "That's what you meant when you told me not to call you that...you're not Qetesh are you? Who are you?"

"You know to much, just go!" she cried. "If she knows that you even know this much she will kill you...I will not let another die because of me!"

"What is that supposed to mean? Who are you?" he grabbed her arm as she tried to slip away.

"Just go, please..."

"No..." he whispered. "I'm not running away from this." He grabbed her close and hugged her tightly again. Tentatively she wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head against his shoulder. "You need help."

"I have Bray'tac."

"Bray'tac? You were the woman he was talking to?" he said stunned as he stepped away from her. Nodding for a moment she looked up at Daniel.

"You knew? Yet you never told her?"

"Yes. Who are you?"

"You're rather fond of that question."

"No, I just want to know who you are." She smiled than fell into his arms.

"Qetesh is returning..." she whimpered and hissed out in pain. "If when I return Qetesh still doesn't know about 'this' you will know." A weak smile graced her face and her eyes flashed gold and her body crumpled into his arms.

Lifting her up into his arms he carried her to the bed. Gently laying her down her eyes fluttered open with a saucy expression on her face.

"What a surprise, my sweet. Did you want something?" she giggled and wrapped her body around his and pressed herself very close to him.

"Eh, no. You were in the sarcophagus for a long time so I took you out."

"Aren't you the caring one." Running her finger down his throat she grinned. "Yeah know I really like you Daniel...I could make you feel real good" she purred and rubbed her groin against his.

"Qetesh," he hissed and tried to pull away but she flipped him over and pinned him to the to the bed.

"I love it when you play hard to get..." her husky voice licked at his eardrums as she ran her hands down his body. "So good." Leaning upwards she kissed him thoroughly with no reaction from Daniel. Grabbing her ass he flipped her over and stood up and walked to the door.

"Have a good rest, my Queen."

"Daniel!" she hissed as he stepped out of the room.

Shivers ran up and down Daniel's body as he stared up at the ceiling from his bed. Every time he closed his eyes he recalled the look of the girl on the floor crying her eyes out. She was caged in her own body. His arms still remembered how it felt to hold her shaking body and his eyes remembered the look in hers when he revealed that he had known someone wanted to assassinate Qetesh.

"Who is she?" he asked the silence around him. Getting up he walked to the window looking out on everything. In the time that Qetesh had come Egypt had changed drastically. He could see Jaffa heading towards the Town to make there rounds.
"Daniel," Qetesh said gently as she stepped in, "I will be making my rounds in the town. You will be coming with me."

"Of course," he said obediently and kept staring outside. The horizon was colored with multiple shades of orange as the sunset.

"In three days, we will go." Turning around she walked back into the hall and disappeared.

Daniel treaded slowly behind Qetesh as they reached Cairo. Jaffa surrounded all sides of them. Qetesh turned her head slightly to grin at him. Raising her hand the Jaffa moved farther away from them. The Gold hand device sparkled along with the menacing look in her eyes. Walking deeper into the City, Daniel saw people he recognized watching from house. The streets were dirty and some dead still littered the streets.

"Daniel!" he heard a women call towards him. This caused Qetesh to stop and her eyes to glow brightly for a second. A women with blond hair ran down from the steps in the museum. Dirt covered her body and the book she clung to her chest.

"Sarah" he mouthed and tried to move Qetesh forward but she wouldn't budge. He flinched as the book dropped to the ground as she stared at him in surprise. Her eyes looking him over then looking at her in confusion.

"Daniel," she said again as she made her decision to run towards him. She grabbed onto his arm as if to see he was real then she flung her arms around him holding him tight. Tears ran down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry, I didn't believe you! Lets just go. Get you away from her" she whispered the last two sentences in his ear.

"Sarah. Its alright," he thought about adding more but he saw how Qetesh's lips itched upwards in a amused grin. He felt himself stiffen as he watched her wondering why she was letting Sarah talk to him.

"Lets just go, Daniel" she hissed as she held him tight. Grabbing his hand she tried to force him to move but his eyes were still locked on Qetesh. He could see this was all like a dance to her, she was letting Sarah push and push until Qetesh decided it was time to take.

"I can't..." he began but Sarah leaned forward and kissed him gently and that's when he knew what she was waiting for. Sarah was ripped from his body and she now stared the blond in the eye.

"Are you his girlfriend?" she hissed and pulled her a couple feet away from Daniel. Her hand rested at the base of Sarah's neck putting a little pressure on in it.

"No, but he's still coming with me!" she yelled and tried to move out of her grasp but she found she was stronger than she looked. Qetesh roared with laughter at her.

"You're a presumptions one aren't you? I am a Goddess," she began and looked Sarah over, "and you are a dirty peasant."

"At least I don't slaughter innocent people!" she yelled and slapped Qetesh hard on the face. Qetesh's eyes darted towards Daniel, ones filled with malice met ones filled with fear. She could see him resisting to interfere.

"Insolence!" she grabbed Sarah's arm and twisted it until she yelped in pain. "You are forgetting who commands who!" Her mechanical voice shocked Sarah and fear began to spread through her body. Daniel could see Sarah was making the misconception that Qetesh was using all of her strength and this was the worst she could do without her gaurds but he knew better.

"Just go away! There is no place for you on this planet!" she hissed and began to scratch at her arms only causing her to laugh. Sarah began to try and survey her situation, in her mind she had the upper hand. Qetesh was clad in a tight gold dress that appeared to have been knitted and she was in slacks in a T-shirt making it easier to move. Grabbing a first full of black hair she pulled sending them both to the ground.

"You are a fool." Qetesh stood up and grabbed her throat pulling her up over Qetesh's head. "You dare defy me?"

"Yes..." her eyes were defiant as she tried to claw her way out of her grasp.

"Qetesh!" Daniel yelled, "stop this."

"Oh but Daniel, I've only just begun. I like my new toy" allowing her to stand on her own two feet she caressed her cheek with the hand wearing the hand device. "Hold him," she ordered. The Jaffa grabbed Daniel's arms as he tried to fight out of their grasp. "Do you want to play with me, human?"

"No," she whimpered as she squeezed harder on her neck.

"Too bad...cause your Goddess wants to play with you" licking her cheek she caused Sarah to shudder. Forcing her onto her knees she ignored Sarah's hands tighten as she dug her nails into her flesh. "Sarah...such a nice name. Such a nice girl you are, such nice hair you have. " Her free hand ran through her hair then looked into her eyes. "Such lovely eyes you have," leaning downwards she came to her ear, "Daniel likes mine better." Standing up straight she gave a cocky look down at her. "Stay still."

"Please no," Sarah whimpered as Qetesh let her go and raised the hand device above her.

"Please yes. Its been so long since I've used this thing." Towering over her the device began to glow and Sarah's face was contorted into one in excruciating pain. Her laughter sounded out covering over Sarah's small pleas. Tears streamed down her eyes as Qetesh intensified it.

"Qetesh no!" Daniel yelled and tried to get out of the Jaffa's grasp. Then he saw it, the change in her eyes. As if she was battling for control. Suddenly the hand device was turned off and she stepped back. Raising her hand she signaled the Jaffa to let Daniel go. He ran to Sarah's body and kneeled beside her lifting her head into his lap.

"Daniel," she whispered then coughed a little.

"Good to see you're alive. Just...don't come looking for me and if you see me just ignore me. Its for your own good." He pulled her into a hug and kissed her tear stained cheek. "We were always better as friends anyway."

"Daniel..." she whispered and shook her head.

"Its best." Lifting her up he carried her up the stairs of the building and knocked on the door.

"Be careful," she whispered as he handed her over to a man he only vaguely recognized. Turning around he looked down the steps at the women and he smiled at her. The Jaffa thought it weird but neither of them did. He saw a strong courageous woman in front of him that risked everything to take control to save his friend.

"Shall we go back now?" she said simply and looked at Daniel who nodded back at her. He came down the steps and went back to his walking behind her but this time it wasn't Qetesh he followed.

Daniel once again stood looking out the window at the scenery around him. Jaffa training grounds, destroyed buildings, and the light of the sunset over it all. His arms crossed over his chest as he put most of his weight on his right leg slightly leaning. The door behind him opened and closed and he heard the silent clicking of shoes that stopped abruptly.

"Vala. Vala Mal Doran."
