Chapter 19- Sam

Seeing the stars I knew I was free, nobody could get the exact locations of them right, not even Aphosis I knew now I really was on earth. The dreams of the past lifetime must have been real, they weren't lies Aphosis was wrong. I realised how chilled I was and that I wanted to go inside and could.

Lisa followed me down the mountain as I neared I froze, she took my hand gently leading me in. "It's OK Sam were going to go to your quarters and you are going to sleep" she told me reassuringly. I nodded reassured, I could do this I was safe on earth.

I stepped into the mountain with Lisa behind me. Before going to sleep in my quarters this time using the blanket, if Aphosis didn't want me to he would have to punish me but I hadn't been punished yet.

I woke up feeling refreshed, I was alone and still unpunished. I was hungry. I dressed myself picking my own clothes and still no punishment. The next step would be to leave the room without permission. I walked to the handle, all I had to do was turn it. Just turn it, it seemed so easy, just a little more pressure. A knock came from behind the door. I took a breath half expecting Aphosis to be there. I almost collapsed with relief as I realised it was just Janet and Lisa.

"Hey Sam we thought we would just check in with you," they said coming into my room.

"I'm OK" I told them, they exchanged a look, it wasn't good news.

"What has happened?" I asked

"We agreed we should warn you, there is a Gould on base, she claims to be a good Gould have you ever heard of such thing?" Janet asked, I tried to remember Aphosis and his ramblings.

"Tok'ra, Aphosis hated them really hated them" I remember his shouting he always hurt me more after he shouted about the Tok'ra,

"Hathor does that name bring back anything, Teal'c had never heard of her, but he wasn't at Aphosis side a lot" I recalled the names,

"No nothing only Egyptian history" I replied my stomach tightening at the thought of a Gould on base, I wasn't going to panic I was on earth I was safe, they had said I was safe.

"We did some research on her she is the Goddess of Fertility, Music and herbs," Janet told me

"Anyway she has all the guys acting cuckoo, so we need to get close to her, we were wondering if you had any ideas" Lisa asked. I found I couldn't breathe they wanted me to get closer to a Gould.

"Sam Sam breath, you need to take deep breaths for me sweetie" it was Janet I did. I couldn't let the Gould on earth roam free, it couldn't hurt Janet or my team nobody should have to go through that. I should, I was use to it, I was worthless, and I deserved to be punished if anyone was going to it should be me. I had to do this take charge. Somewhere deep inside me was pushing, I had a choice to let it or to not. Both had consequences and I was scared beyond belief. Was I really safe or was this a test.

"O'Neill is black ops" I remembered,

"Black ops are trained to resist mind control, he might be immune" Janet guessed my train of thought.

"Teal'c is Jaffa" I whispered.

"Different physiology it might not have effected him either. I'll find Teal'c, Sam can you take Lisa to find Colonel O'Neill?" Janet asked

I nodded, I could do this, I took a deep breath crossing the threshold of my room. I was out of my room and hadn't been struck down yet that had to be a positive thing. I walked down the corridor receiving leering looks the whole way. Part of me really wanted to run and hide, or hit them but I knew I had to find Jack. It was an order. After 5 minutes of braving the corridors I found him with a woman wearing very little and with bright ginger hair. This had to be Hathor and she had Jack and Daniel but there still was hope.

"Sir I need a word please" I asked trying not to sound as if I was begging. Lisa hid behind the door.

"Carter I'm showing our guest round it can wait" he told me and I knew I had lost him. Hathor came closer I backed away, not ready for this she came closer nonetheless.

"Captain Carter, I believe you have recently been the guest of my nemeses Aphosis, don't worry you stay as my guest will be a lot more pleasant" She stroked my cheek; I could feel myself trembling under it. "You will make a most pretty host for one of my children until then you will serve your God" she ordered. I nodded still shaking. At the end of the corridor I saw Lisa and Janet emerge, they were armed and went to shoot. Daniel, Jack and a few more airmen jumped in front of her blocking them from shooting. It was my chance I could disable her now free the SGC and earth, she wasn't a God she wasn't a God I could do this. I snatched a gun from a young airman shooting at Hathor, but she reacted hitting me as I flew across the room I knew I had at least winged her.

I woke in the male locker room handcuffed to a shower pipe, Hathor was there sitting in a bath Daniel kneeling adoringly by her side. She saw I was awake.

"You tried to kill me slave now you must pay" she brought her hand device up its beam connecting with my head and all I knew was pain.

"You need to be punished slave punished for disobeying your God" it continued for what seemed a life time till I must have passed out.

I woke with her sitting in a bathtub, Daniel sitting nearby looking at her adoringly,

"Slave you are awake" she said bringing everyone's attention onto me, "just in time to watch your Colonel become my first new Jaffa, he will be carrying my Pharoh's symbiotie" she said gesturing to Daniel. He looked happy, as Jack was brought in. Hathor got out and Jack willingly stepped in.

"We will leave you slave to observe how your Gods are born come my Pharoh" Hathor and Daniel left.

"No, no no, you have to get out, get out, get out" I begged, he couldn't become a slave. Janet and Lisa ran in,

"Get him out" I yelled, they ran over to him, lifting him out and dragging him to the bench. I could see he was barely conscious. "She made him into a Jaffa, he is going to be a slave like me now." I told them, Janet looked at his stomach.

"I'm going to have to check if anything went in" she dipped her hand in pulling a face that clearly said she was disgusted, "There's nothing in here we got here in time"

Lisa knelt in front of me,

"Sam you aren't a slave, you are free. Hathor is just a Gou'ld and we will beat her" she told me, I nodded wishing I could believe her.

"Is he OK?" I asked, nervously

"Well he has no immune system now" Janet replied, still wiping the disgusting yellow gunk off her arm.

"Wait didn't you say Janet the sarcophagus healed everything" Lisa asked Janet. Janet nodded

"It has to be worth a shot" she decided I nodded my consent. Lisa touched the shackles; I shrank back before remembering not everyone was out to hurt me. She didn't have a painstick.

"Let's get you out of those" she said looking for a way,

"You can't, she has the key" I told them, part of me was begging them to free me so I could go curl in a ball somewhere. Another part of me was telling me I deserved it, I had disobeyed my God so much. And the last little part didn't care what happened to me as long as the Colonel was OK.

They exchanged glances; they knew the Colonel couldn't wait.

"We will be back Sam just hold on" Janet told me. I nodded. They each grabbed an arm dragging the Colonel out. I sat there waiting hoping that they came back before Hathor did.

I wasn't in luck, Hathor came storming in, on seeing that Jack wasn't where she had left him she flipped out, she rounded out me

"You will be punished" she told me kicking me again and again, I curled up as best as I could with my arms stretched above me, this angered her more as she stopped kicking me, instead punching me and scratching me. I knew I was going to die, something inside me snapped. I swung round kicking her, she fell but limped, with a huge swing she hit my head an I blacked out.
