Here's chapter six! I MIGHT be posting more later, but I'm not sure. It all depends on how much homework I can get done in the next few hours! Wish me luck! :) I hope you enjoy the chapter and please review! Thanks! :)
Danger. There's danger. Wake up. Wake up! Now, wake up now! Daniel started awake, already reaching for his sidearm, just in time to realize that he hadn't moved. His hands were bound. At that, his eyes flew open. With panic fluttering through his veins, he realized that his team was gone and he was surrounded. The natives, the ones who had attacked them before. Oh, this isn't good.
"We have the witch. The others have been left by the circle." A foreign tongue sounded in his ears.
Not Goa'uld, his mind immediately informed him. Perhaps some variation of a- For goodness sake, Jackson! Think about that later! This was so not the time. Did he just say witch? That can't be good. What happened to the others? Gosh, I hope they're okay.
"He's awake!" The warning cry echoed around him, followed by a cacophony of harsh, unearthly cries of anger and hatred.
Daniel felt harsh hands grab him and pull him up, dragging him over to a pole in the middle of the small village he seemed to be in, and tying him tightly to it. Jack, you can show up any time now.
….
Jack woke slowly, his whole body responding to his screaming mind sluggishly. What happened? Where are we? Who is 'we'? Is everyone here? Injuries? Ah, crap! Get up! Get up! Finally, his body responded. His eyes flew open and he sat up quickly. His eyes immediately fell on the limp bodies of his teammates nearby. Teal'c was stirring, Carter was still motionless. Daniel was...not here. Crap. Crap. Crap. "Teal'c! Teal'c, Carter!" Jack forced himself to his feet and hurried over to them, dropping to one knee beside Carter. "Carter! Carter, wake up!"
Teal'c was suddenly at his side. "Where is Daniel Jackson?" he asked, his body tense, voice alarmed.
"Not here. I don't remember what happened, do you?" Jack asked.
"It was during my watch, sir."
"What happened?" Jack was proud at how calm his voice sounded, considering the panic he was fighting hard to control beneath his hard surface. Daniel. Crap. Daniel, what have you gotten yourself into now? You better be okay, you hear me? Dang it.
Carter sat up, then Jack pulled her to her feet. "The natives came back sir. They shot something at us. Daniel was clearly the target, sir, they hit him first."
Jack thought quickly, his mind running through the possibilities and scenarios. "Okay. Carter, dial the gate. Tell the good General that we need a UAV out here yesterday scouting for any nearby villages, anywhere they could have taken Daniel. Backup, would also be nice. Teal'c and I are going to scout out the nearby area and see if we can find any sign of where they might have gone. We won't be going far, so call if you run into trouble, which I would prefer you avoided, by the way. We've had enough trouble for the day, okay Carter?"
Carter nodded, already turning to the gate.
Jack and Teal'c headed towards the tree line in the distance. Hang on, Daniel. We'll be there soon. Calvary's on the way.
...
With SG3 and 6 at his back, Jack felt much more confident than he had a couple of hours ago. The UAV was searching the surrounding area, the teams ready to go storming in and save his - as usual - errant archaeologist. Now we've just got to find where they took him, kick their butts, save Daniel, and escape - all without losing anyone and without revealing Daniel's newfound superpowers to the SG teams or making the natives any more ticked off at us. Great. Daniel, you just can't do anything the easy way, can you?
