Quotes
from Lord of the ring [first lines] Galadriel: The world is
changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

Chapter 1
„I just want a normal life."
Sam voice was hard and determined like a solder on mission. This was just
another challenge she needed to take down. It would never be, could never be a
normal life.
She grown up in a military family, a
military brat as they say, her life was full of exception and hardship and she
come thought all of them. But the road was hard, and never normal. If you just
look her adult life, scientist and solder. She become a Colonel in the U.S.Air Force, where just a select few could reach this
fast as she and she was a scientist with knowledge and brain that not just Jack
couldn't follow, but her many peers neither.
She was in a top-secret military project
in the last decade, what about she couldn't talk to anyone outside the SGC. She
leading the primer team thought the Stargate, some
place where they never see. Where she fight battles what most people on Earth
not just never saw maybe couldn't even imagine and leaded mission thought alien
enemy territories and destroyed false Gods whom before humans million bowed.
Was replicated and turned to cyber
robot, saved the Earth who knew how many times. And she will never be able to
talk about it for years or maybe not even while she was alive but she wanted a
normal life. That will be bilt on lies and half-trues.
Jack was sure she wanted it, but to
her the family was just another challenge, another hardship to need to take
down. In her mind she planed everything, from this very speech thought her
wedding to her children every moment to the next 10 year or even more. But she
didn't see it, not like Jack, not yet anyway. He was over with it once. He
tried to make it work, but he couldn't and he paid for it, he pay for it every
day and every night. As he told Daniel once he could sometimes forget but never
forgive. But maybe she could make it work, where he failed. Maybe.
Maybe.
But Jack couldn't stop her; she was
too stubborn, just like him. Jack was sure some of her stubbornness come from him, and he was prude to be able to teach
something to her which enable her to be that fine solder she became today.
But he didn't want to lose her, it
was selfish he knew. But SGC and especially SG1 become his surrogate family,
his light in his darkness which pulled him back and help him not to become like
Maybern or Simmons.
Daniel told him once he was a good
man, but Danny didn't really knew his dark past, Jack sometimes pondered if Daniel
forget how he was when they first met. How emotionless and cold he could be.
This trait lingered in the corner of his mind and only when he faced with some goauld, they emerged from their hiding place. But his
darkness never emerged fully because they, his team, his friends, his family
were there for him to help to kept a lash on it.
But Daniel left to Atlantis, Teal'c were called back in
The ache in his hart gowned every
day after Teal'c left not a month ago. Daniel departured with the Daidalos just
a week ago, and now Carter will leave him as well. The
dull ach in his hart escalated to full pain, but he couldn't show it, he
wouldn't.
He sight he know what he needed to
do, the same thing what he done with Daniel, and Teal'c.
And he knew he will do it again, because he needed to let her go. He will allows
her, them to leave the SGC and him because he love her, them, all of them, but especially
her, that was why it hurt so much. But as they say if you love someone and she
want to go you need to let her go.
„I understand, I hope you will find
your normal life," he smiled at her, and Sam beamed back at him, that 100
GW smile. As Jack watched her go, he hoped she will find her happiness as well
as her normal life, because the two thing not the same.
With his emotionless General mask in
place he turned toward the Stargate. The cold and
emptiness crept back slowly in his sole. He was alone again, all alone.
