Deadly Rain

Jack walked along side Major Samantha Carter. He watched as her icy blue eyes scanned the road behind them. "What's wrong?" Jack asked without interest. Sam looked at him; half embarrassed that he had seen her. "Oh, nothing," she lowered her head as a smile crossed her face. Sam keep the smile as she looked back to Jack. "I just though I heard something, sir." Jack did a quick look over he's shoulder then back to Sam. He had a look on his face that said; I believe you but then again I don't. Sam knew the look she answered with a smile and shrugged it off. Daniel and Teal'C were walking a few steps ahead, in silence. They were heading back to the StarGate. Tall trees that look like old oak trees lined the gravel path. Their branches reaching for the bight blue sky. Rain droplets fell from leaves from the frequent rainfall, leaving dark green lines on their clothes.

A flock of indigenous birds flew over head. Jack turned his head skyward and was greeted by a droplet of rainwater. "Oh no," O'Neill murmured. "What?" Sam asked with pure concern. As she finished heavy tropical rain began to fall. Sam couldn't help but laugh out loud and Jack laughed with her. Daniel and Teal'C turned around not getting the joke. "Come on campers!" Jack yelled over the noise of the rain. "Back to the StarGate!" They all started running at a slow pace as not to slip over in the mud. Jack was at the front followed by Daniel, Teal'C and Sam taking up the rear.

He moved slowly up behind her, his footsteps soft and light, as though he were floating on air. The rain was beating into him, harder and harder. The woman he was after was getting closer and closer. Any minute now and he would have her. He slowly pulled out a long, thin, sharp blade knife. Water trickled down the blade, to the handle that he grip tightly as not to drop it. Step by step, closer, closer. Now! He shouted to himself. He grabbed her around her neck and pulled her to the muddy ground. She looked shocked and frighten all at the same time. Before she had time to recover he brought down the sharp knife. As it pieced her skin she screamed out the only name that came to her lips. "Jack!!"

************

Jack slid to a stop and the scream of his name. Daniel almost bumped into him as he and teal'c came to a stop. Though the rainy haze Jack saw Sam lying on the ground as a man pulled out a bloody knife, from her stomach. Though parted lips he managed a; "Sam." He heard as Daniel gasped next to him as Jack snapped out of his trance. In that split second his world came crashing down all around him. "Hay!" Jack yelled out. "Hay you! What the hell do you think your doing!?" Jack ran off after him as the attacker ran away. Jack stopped dead in his tracks as he saw Sam lying so peacefully, on the ground. The rain had socked her clothes and made her blood spread more around her like a blood aura. Sam's lips were parted as a trickle of dark, red blood ran down the corner of her mouth.

All of a sadden Jack felt very week and he fell to his knees in, socking his pants with mud and water. "Daniel, teal'c get back to earth!" Jack barked without turning around. "But whaâ*|" Daniel stared. "Just do it!" Jack yelled back, though the rain. They both hesitated awhile until teal'c pulled on Daniel's jacket. They both left, running. Jack wiped away the rain from Sam's face. "Sam?" He whispered, as he stroked her wet matted hair. "Sam can you hear me?" Jack lifted up Sam's head and heard her cock on her own blood. Sam let out a moan and slowly open her eyes. She blinked out the rain. "You all right?" Jack asked. "Um, I think so." She tried to sit up but failed. "Ah, what happen, sir?" "You got stabbed, remember, Sam?" Jack smiled and his eyes locked with hers.

"Not really." "Hold still for awhile," Jack unzipped his vest and jacket. He slipped his jacket under Sam's head, as the rain socked his black shirt. Next Jack unzipped Sam's vest and jacket, then lifted up her shirt. A big gash on her stomach was letting out blood that looked ten times worse with the rain. "How bad is it, Colonel?" Sam tried to look, but it hurt to much so she laid down again. "Ah, it's just a scratch, you'll live." Jack once again smiled at her and their eyes locked. Sam tried to laugh, but ended up coughing up blood. Jack placed his right hand over the gash and felt Sam flinch at his soft, wet touch. "I'm so cold," Sam managed to stammer out. Jack lay down next to Sam; he put his left arm on her chest and pulled her close, pressing his body against hers. He felt her shivering next to him. "Don't you die on me, Major Samantha Carter."

"Why, Colonel Jack O'Neill?" Jack wasn't the lest bit surprised that she called him Jack. Though he did like the way she said Jack. "Because," Jack went on. "Without you the sun set if worthless, the full moon doesn't shine so brightly. Without you my life has no meaning, without you I have no reason to live, to get up in the morning." Jack pulled her closer into his embrace. They laid like that as the deadly rain continued to fall.
