Everything on the planet was eerily quiet. The trees swayed and the wind blew but no other sound was heard or movement was seen. I was waiting. I knew the Lara… Lari…oh it didn't even matter anymore what their names where. I had been sitting in a crouched position in a hollowed out tree for more than an hour and I knew that the mind-crazed aliens were just waiting for me to make my move so they could find me.
Everything was just fine until Mitchell called Vala 'Princess' and then she responded by punching him in the shoulder. After that it was an all out war between the planets people and SG-1. I don't know what caused them to do it, but there was no going back. It was all defense after that. I was busying fighting them off and then the team was gone. I ran as fast as I could to the gate, but when I knew I couldn't make it I dodged into the cover of the trees and now I am here, cramped and ready to evacuate this place.
I am too afraid that they will come looking for me. That wouldn't be so bad, I'd love to get out of here. But I know as soon as they step through the gate and spread out, these people will pick them off one by one until they're all dead. At least that's what I assume they want to do. I can't think of any other reason they would want us. We didn't even do anything! Wait, I think I might hear something…. It is the gate. They're here.
I jumped up and, using the tree for cover, ran to where I could see the gate. Luckily I did not run into any enemies, but from where I ended up I could see the gate clearly. The recon team was here.
Cam began giving orders, "Alright, split up like we discussed. SG-9, stay here at the gate and contact me if anything happens."
I watched and a group containing Vala, Teal'c and a few faces I could recognize but not put names to were coming my direction. I was far enough into the trees that they could not see me, but I was also far enough that they would be hidden from view of the gate and an ambush would be easy. They got nearer and I told them to return.
"Go back," I said as loud as I dared. "I'm right behind you."
"Daniel!" Vala said, relief sweeping over her features.
She got nearer and I pointed in the direction they had come. "We need to go!"
Before I could get the word 'ambush' out, I saw an armed figure draw near with a dagger, about to plunge it into Vala. I pushed her down quickly and took the blow. The knife cut right into my back and I instantly fell to the ground. I was surrounded, but I watched as Teal'c ordered them to return. He tried to grab me with help, but they were closing in too quickly.
I looked Teal'c straight in the face, "Go. Take care of Kaylee." I'll never know if he heard me, because after that, my life faded into blackness.
