NTR: Again, I'm sorry to all you who are waiting for another chapter – I've had the worst writer's block with this story – the sad thing is it has a lot of potential. (That's the problem with potential, it's not kinetic.) Okay, enough of my blabbering, you probably just want to read the story: so here it is!
Standoff
Lill'auc was not prepared for the look of pity in the Jaffa's eyes, and so when she met his eyes with fierce determination, she was nearly compromised by his compassion.
"The Goa'uld within you is evil, Lill'auc, you must know that. How many people have you betrayed or killed?"
Lill'auc could feel her eyes beginning to fill up with tears. The pain she had long suppressed now rose up in her, like bile.
"You don't understand what it's like!" the compassion and pity lingered, serving only to make her mad.
"I was First Prime to Apophis, ask me what it's like to watch as you kill hundreds of innocent men." Teal'c's voice once again rose to that terrible tone.
Lill'auc knew she had been defeated, there was no way a girl like her could have taken on a Jaffa, let alone a First Prime. But she was still determined to have the last word. However, the Goa'uld spoke before she could.
"You disowned your own family, Teal'c. You betrayed your son and wife, and now you have no compassion for your daughter? Apophis must be in dire need of a First Prime to have chosen you in the first place, Sho'vah!"
"A Goa'uld does not understand such things," responded Teal'c calmly. "They think they are gods, but they do so falsely. I have watched the horrors that Apophis commanded of me and the other Jaffa. I have seen things no other being should see. I have done things that few could have or would have done. It is for these things that I have become what I am – it is why I defy the Goa'uld."
"Then you shall die." The eyes flashed before Lill'auc seemed to come back to herself with a start. She knew her Goa'uld had been talking, for the looks on everyone's faces was of consternation and deep thinking.
"Lill'auc, perhaps I should escort you back to the infirmary." The girl nodded her ascent as Teal'c began to head back through the doors.
"Yeah, it's strange though, that Lill'auc and the Goa'uld seem to be in more of a symbiotic relationship than a parasitic one." Sam glanced at her CO and saw a look of thoughtfulness on his usually blank face.
"Indeed." He looked over at Sam to find she was hiding a smile and trying to stifle a giggle. "What?"
It took Sam a few moments to compose herself before answering, "You sounded just like Teal'c, sir." Jack merely glared back at her, before taking another spoonful of jell-o and chewing it. "I'll see you later, sir." Sam deftly ended the stalemate, turning her back to her CO and walking through the doors that Teal'c and Lill'auc had walked through not too long ago.
"Sam, is there something I can do for you?" Janet's perky voice spoke up behind her, and Sam turned in surprise.
"I was just going to check on Lill'auc." The smile on Janet's face disappeared.
"Teal'c and Lill'auc left about 30 minutes ago, arguing. They haven't been back since." Sam felt her stomach drop. "What's wrong, Sam?"
"Teal'c and Lill'auc just left from the cafeteria not more than five minutes ago. They should be here by now." Janet wasted no time pressing the red button that stood beside Lill'auc's vacant bed. The alarm began to sound, as did the klaxons that blared when the Stargate was being activated.
Please, a short review saying "yes, I liked it" or "no, disliked it" or even "it was okay", would be great!
