This is my newest story. Yes I will update "Star Trek: Lost Before the Dawn" this one was just begging me to write and share with all of you. The same rules apply to this story. Any flames will be thrown into the black hole. Any how lets move on shall we.
Pairing: Spock X OC (I love this pairing)
I do not own. If I did it would be ruined and ripped apart.
"Celia dear. I know you won't under stand this but just remember it please." A women desperately said to a six year old.
"Ok mommy I'll try" a tear fell as the women spoke to her daughter.
"Please Celia remember this and let no one change who you are." the little girl look on with tears falling as her mother walked out of the room. That same night there was a sound of a gun accompanied by the cries of a child who was once again left alone.
~*16 years later*~
Bright blue eyes reflected there hidden sadness as the owner walked down the halls of star fleet academy. It has been sixteen years since that day when she was six. Since she was left alone in the world once more. As she walked someone came up beside her.
"Celia you should come take the test with us" Celia looked to the girl to her left, the girls closest friend.
"Again. There has been only one other person that attempted this test so many times" her voice was timed. Said friend gave a clap of the hands.
"Yea and look were he is now. He is the captain of the enterprise, has a awesome crew, saved the planet twice, and been dead and then came back" Celia looked to her friend with a look that said 'are you crazy'.
"Yes that is true but do you really think that will happen to you." She tried but knew that her friend wouldn't go for it. She always was a little head strong but then again look who her hero was.
"Ok I'll take it. Under one condition if we fail again can we stop" but they both knew that what ever she did Celia would come along. No Celia was not a follower but she did stick by her friend.
"Ok lets go" said friend grabbed her and began to pull her. As they walked or more like ran down the hall to the room they got odd stairs. It didn't take long as they reached the room and walked in.
"I have our first commander" Looking around Celia retreated back into her self. Each time the team that her friend picked didn't really like her much. They turned away as she walked to her seat.
"Ok we are ready" her friend called to the window. Inside said window the instructors were shaking there head.
"Captain there are enemy ships inbound what should we do." said a girl that was working the scanners.
"Power up shields have all weapons on stand by" Celia turned to her friend.
"Captain you use that method every time. Would it not be logical to try something different." the friend turned to her.
"I requested you to e my commander not another logical thinker" Celia just sighed knowing what she was talking about. What they didn't know was that said person was over looking this round.
"As you wish captain" it didn't take long for that ship to appear in front of them. As she ran the scans something caught her eye.
"Captain there hailing us." a girls voice sounded.
"Accept it." they watched as the captain of the other ship showed up on the screen.
"Captain Shay what a wonderful surprise." they all waited to see what there captain would say this time. If she said the wrong thing will get them all "killed".
"Ah my old friend Berk" if it was possible everyone hissed at that. they all knew who she was trying to be like. They also all knew that in some way this damn thing was programed to hate anyone that acted like him.
"Yes old friend indeed. Surrender and we will not kill you." they all looked at each other as the even if they didn't like each other they all knew what came next or so they thought.
"I don't think so Berk. Fire all weapons" usually it went with Shay saying no that they surrender and they wont kill them which makes it to were they fire on us. But this was a welcoming changed but in the end we still lost.
"See I tried to do something difference like you said logical" there was a smugness in her smirk.
"Maybe you should try to be less like the captain of the Enterprise and try to be more like your self" the challenge was issued and Shay accepted it.
"I do not act like him." Both girls were face to face. One looked pissed the other looked calm but the irritation was clear in her vibrant blue eyes.
"Yes you do. I know for a fact that if you would be your self and think like you that we wouldn't keep taking this stupid test."
"You claim me to be acting like him but you act just like a certain Vulcan commander. Just because you don't want to deal with your self" Celia recoiled slightly.
"Celia I didn't mean that. You have emotions and you try to deal with it." As her hand reached out the girl flicked the hand away.
"Your right." with that Celia walked out of the room not even needing to be told that they had failed again.
"Celia" shay's voice faded as she said the girls name. She turned to the window.
"What is the date" it was silent for a few minutes till they spoke.
"November 8th" the girl looked even sadder.
"I see. Ok then how about we all regroup and try again in a few months." with that she walked out. Up in the room the instructors were quite perplexed as to what had just happened.
"I do believe a meeting with Cadet Arcelia White is in order along with Cadet Susan Shay." one of the instructors said in a monotonous voice as they walked out. One instructor went to fetch Shay as the other tracked down Celia. it took for ever to even catch wind of were the distraught girl had ran but finally the shears ended at the dorms. But this introduced another problem which dorm was she in.
"Spock what brings you to the dorms" a males voice rang out as he walked down the hall.
"Captain it dose not surprise me that you are here" this caused him to laugh.
"But really why are you here"
"Searching for cadet Arcelia White. There was a problem in the Kobayashi Maru
" this got the captains interest.
"You said Arcelia White. About 5"2' long chocolate hair and oddly vivid blue eyes."
"I take it you know her" the man in question laughed.
"I wish she is one of the most shy girls I've met. Her room is B-234. Any how I've got to go tell me what happened latter" with that he ran off. Continuing on his way he easily found the dorm. Before he could knock the door swished open to reveal a mess. The room was a mess, there was glass here and there there was a crash accompanied bye sobs from the bathroom area. Walking over he stood in the door staring at the girl curled up in the middle of glass and soaps.
"Why" Spock could tell that she wasn't talking to hm but to some unseen force.
"Why, why, why, why, WHY" Spock watched in both shock and slight worry as the things around her flew away from her slamming into the wall. The air around her swirled.
"Don't go, don't go please no" the things began to fly around the room. With out think what could happen he walked over to lean over her. Turning said girl over her once vivid blue eye were duel almost lifeless as she keep saying 'please'.
"Arcelia" nothing, no flinch, no reorganization nothing. Something slammed into his back. He didn't really have a lot of options here. Grabbing his com he realized it was dead.
"It would appear the force drained the battery." so there was one other option mind meld. But what ever he expected to see was not what he got.
~*Celia's Mind*~
The first thing he saw was two parents in a bed room with a crib between them.
"What do you expect us to do. We can't keep her we barely have the means to take care of our self's." a man who was about 38 with dark brown hair said to the distraught women.
"Ok then what do we do Mike. Throw her away. She is our daughter." Mike just sighed.
"Fine we will keep her." the women smiled and as Spock looked closer she looked almost identical to her daughter. The scene changed. This time he stood in a funeral home. At the front of the room was a white box with flowers all over. In front of the coffin stood a small girl about one or two. She looked confused as her father said something. The little girl in question turned around and pointed to him, or so it seemed. The father turned and all color drained from his face.
"da" the small girl hid behind her fathers legs as the man came closer.
"Hello Mike, Celia" the smaller Celia backed even farther away and the father shifted to black her more.
"What do you want" he didn't hear anything else as the memory changed.
"RUN" Mike yelled looking behind Spock. Said man turned to see a now four year old Celia standing in the door looking horrified.
"Daddy why his he doing this" but the man from the last memory stood in the opposite door holding a gun at the father.
"Celia please ru" but he never finished as the gun went off causing the smaller girl to flee from the scene with the man running after her causing the scene to vanish. Soon though he was running besides the girl as she ran threw woods into some one else yard. He stood on the porch as the door opened to show a younger women about 24 with a man standing behind him. Said women bent down and pick the girl up trying to calm her down.
"The bad man hurt daddy" was all they got.
"Dane call the police to the White residence." The women said as she carried the girl up to the bathroom. That was when then it faded to show them in court before a storm of memories raced by. They stopped at another scene the girl was at less six now. The women was kneeing in front of the girl with sad eyes.
"What do you mean I'm adopted" a small Celia said to the women, not really understanding. Said women looked on with scared and sad eyes.
"Arcelia dear. I know you wont understand this but just remember it please." said the women as her caramel eyes filled with tears.
"Ok mommy I'll try" a tear fell as the women spoke to her daughter.
"You have a gift. That in which you can pick up things small things without touching them. There is a man trying to get a hold of that gift. I have arranged it so that a friend from a special academy will protect you. Remember Arcelia White, I will always be your mommy, I will be there to protect you. Remember Celia I love you." the little girl was crying now.
"Please Arcelia remember this and let no one change who you are." the little girl looked on with tears falling as the women walked out of the room. Not long after that there was the sound of a gun ringing accompanied by the small girls cries. The scene jumped again. There were lights every were, a familiar man stood talking to some cops before he walked over into the light. He kneed down so he was eye level with the girl.
"Hi there Arcelia My name is Christopher Pike. I'll e your new guardian." Spock watched with slight interest as the girl reached her hand out.
"Hi I'm Arcelia White" the man smiled as he picked the girl up. Then the memories flew by he saw all the bullying she went threw, the stress to keep her grades up, her becoming friends with Shay all the dreams she had of the past. The times she lost control. The way she meditated for hours to hide her pain, only to fail. As the memories faded there was only blackness. It was odd Celia was no were with in her own mind. This could mean two things, she locked her self out or she was reliving every moment of her life.
"Arcelia" there was a small shimmer in the blackness as the ball that was on the bathroom floor appears. said girl stood up and faced him.
"Who are you, why are you in my mind" he felt the environment around him shift as it began to have some type of electric charge in it.
"I am commander Spock of the U.S.S. Enterprise." something flashed behind her blue eyes that slowly came back in focus and the electric force vanished.
"What are you doing here. What is going on. Oh god I snapped at Shay" her emotions were changing a little to fast to pin point them.
"You do not remember?" she shook her head.
"All I remember is fighting with Shay in the test."
"You then proceeded to run off. After searching for 30 minutes I discovered you in your room that looked much like a storm threw threw it. You also shattered the mirror in the bathroom were your gift seemed to take hold of you." the girl stood there with her head held low.
"I wish I was like you." her whisper was the only thing that echoed in the dark space.
"May I inquire why that would be" this caused her to look up. Spock quite literately took a step back from the look in the girls eyes. They were filled with emotions but if you looked close enough you could see that she was being held together by thread.
"Then I wouldn't lose control over my gift. No one would see my emotions." her voice was almost hollow even with the emotions that swam in her eyes. taking a chance he walked in front of her but she didn't look up to meet his eyes.
"The man found you. The one that wanted your gift." he spoke remembering the note and gift box that flashed threw her memories. Said girl said nothing. Before long she froze as the darkness begain to break apart. She stepped closer and looked up at him.
"You have to leave now before this lace is gone. We both need to." the panic was clear in her voice as the girl looked around for an escape.
"Why" she looked up as a piece vanished beside them.
"If this room vanishes while we are still here then we will both be trapped with in my mind. Spock's eyes widen as he placed a hand on her arm but before he could say anything there was charge of energy as they were both ripped from her mind. As Spock became of his surrounding he heard coughing.
"Wait. if you are here then that means you did a mind meld." said man couldn't speak as his brain slowly came to terms of how they were on the floor. After being ripped out of her memories he had moved his hands so that he could keep him self from falling, placing them in one odd position. Celia was on her back, her caramel hair spread out around her, Spock's hands were on either side of her tangled in said hair. they were almost chest to chest as well. But what caught his attention the most was the way her hair felt and the color of her eyes. They had flecks of green in them. After seeing her mother he knew who she got her looks from. It would seem both of their minds came to terms with the position at the same time. Spock sat back as Celia nearly jumped out of her skin. Clearing his throat he spoke.
"Yes it was necessary." Celia looked around and cringed at the damage.
"Hell I had to of been bad if you had to go to that extent. and going off of my surroundings I would say that I defiantly would of harmed my self or someone else." As they just sat there she remembered his question.
"Yes he did. When I arrived here threw the fog that clouded my mind I lightly remember the letter and the gift. I think it was the gift that sent me over the edge. It was my parents wedding rings tied together with a red string" the girl said as she stood up.
"I want to thank you commander. for keeping anyone from getting harmed." As he looked down at the girl the reality of the situation dawned on him. That trip threw her mind really did mess with him. The girl was alone, again. Pike died, her parents were dead, her friend couldn't protect her.
"You can call me Spock" as a smile crossed her face he decided then and there that he would take the girl into his care. With the help from the crew they could keep her safe.
"Celia is what everyone else calls me" she then looked around at the mess she made before sighing.
"I better get this cleaned up before my room mate comes back."
"There is nothing that requires my assistance. If you would like I will help." She gave a small nod. Together they had the whole dorm room cleaned in three hours. That was the day that the future was changed for Arcelia White. But what neither seemed to think was that, though her future looked brighter there was a darkness lurking just out of reach. Waiting for the time to strike. Not only would this affect them but everyone else as well.
