Some years prior…

You hissed feeling your wrist burn, the name had changed again. You couldn't read it. but, You could see the odd characters had changed, this is the third time it's happened, Were…they dead? that had to be the reason why soulmate names kept changing? you frowned rubbing your wrist before sleep overtook you.

NOW

You were…are a slave abducted from earth as child and sold to an alien planet to live as a servant, at first you were terrified! why did they take you? why not someone more normal? Not that you would wish this on anyone!…it's just why You?

Specifically a deaf girl with no Idea how communicate with your "Masters" the odd cat folk that reminded you of the Katjit from Skryrim, only about 10ft tall and tail-less. and even if you could hear, You were very sure you couldn't understand them.

Your were purchased as a maid to serve some rich family, it didn't go well due to your lack of speech, they deemed you defiant and ignorant. and sent you back After only six months. It was another year before your captures figured out why you were so quiet. they deemed you defective and lowered your price and sold you to and older gentleman.

He was nicer to you never mistreated or yelled. He seemed to see you more as a daughter then a slave. It was then you figured out that your new "owner" was going blind due to age and illness. He was scholar of sorts he was curious in your "Hand language" you taught him a few phrases. then one day he introduced you to Nives. she was like an older sister to you showing you the ropes in turn you taught her how to sign. however, one day things took a turn for the worst…

You knew your master was sick. But, he and Nives never told you how sick. two years after buying you he passed and here you where in black, mourning someone you saw as a father. while his greedy family discussed, what they should do with you, it wasn't until one of the males tried to grab you. did something weird happen he saw the name on your wrist and fell on his ass, terrified he yelled something and suddenly everyone was afraid…

You looked around confused. why were they staring at you? Did you do something wrong? was there something behind you? was he playing a joke? IT was then you realized they were all afraid…of You? why? one of your fellow maids tapped your shoulder, your friend Nives, she grabbed your wrist and read the characters.

She didn't look scared, just uncomfortable. Knowing you hated when she read your mind used her finger to write on your arm D...J...D, You stared confused "what does that mean?" you signed She winced at your confusion and wrote *Murderers*and in an instant, your stomach felt like a block of ice. Your soulmate was a killer? no, it had to be a mistake! it just had to be…The telepath winced seeing your distress and hugged you. *Why would a monster deserve an innocent soul like yours?* she thought to herself… unaware she had opened her mind to you.

That was two months ago…

You were in the market, with Nives her topaz colored eyes glanced behind her shoulder at you *Hurry up Branwen!* she said giving you a slight headache hearing her voice echo in your head. your previous owner's nephew took you both in, it was fine he treated you well and all! But,.. you couldn't shake the feeling everyone was watching you, You snapped out of your thoughts. when something hit your foot; looking down You saw the basket of fruit your friend was holding. you gasped and went to pick it up along with it contents, Knowing you're master would be upset if his groceries were damaged.

*Geez, You Nivy you know master will dock our pay if we...*

Ni-Nives?"

*-r-run-*

"wun?" You blinked perplexed saying it out loud, When something dripped onto your shoulder, it was thick, wet and jade green. the same color as your Nives's blood…You looked up blowing rust colored hair out of you face and "Niwes?" you gasped as your friend fell to the ground, you caught her head and turned her over. the color drain from your face as you saw the state she was in.

Jade green blood seeped from her eyes and ears staining her purple skin you whimpered brushing her black hair out of her face.. as Tears began to fall from your eyes. landing on Nives's face as you looked around for help! only…to find everyone slumped over or on the ground in the same state as your friend. You didn't know what to do! so, you just sat there, holding her and crying, till you felt the ground shake and a giant shadow loomed over your form.

You looked up and gasped terrified hugging Nives closely, at the sight of the metal giant, wearing a purple mask glower at you; a malicious gleam in his ruby optic made your skin crawl. his optics widened…you couldn't understand. he leaned in closer optics narrowed you flinched and felt a small vibration was he talking…no? this was more rhythmic he was Singing; he recoiled suddenly looked at you… in awe…

You then looked down at Nives… back at the giant; was he the one who did this? was his voice deadly? had your disability saved you? you weren't able to dwell on it, before a large hand had ripped you off the ground! dropping Nives's body causing you to scream; only to be silenced when the giant shot you a look. You didn't where he was taking you or why this was happening! you wanted everything back to normal! you whimpered closing your eyes, waiting for death.

that's how you ended up here; in the giant medical room, being poked and prodded by a smaller robot. who was obviously enjoying your discomfort. that, was... until she noticed your wrapped wrist, arching a brow she painfully grabbed it and pulled the bandage off only to immediately backed off in shock and called someone. You flinched when the robot that brought you here came back, obviously annoyed, before the smaller bot pointed at you. His eyes nearly burst out of his mask as he slammed both hands on either side of your tiny form. causing you shake in horror as he leaned in you felt his voice rumble as his optics glared at you.

3rd person pov

"I said show me your wrist!" Tarn ordered again at the small techno organic, who stared up at him terrified; irritating him more, as Nickle this time being nicer scanned the small hybrid "her audials are defective they don't work! She-She's deaf." the medic explained as Tarn gawked at her and slowly turned his attention back on the girl, before pointing at his wrist the girls's lilac eyes widen when she saw [Branwen] on it. and tearfully lifted her shaking arm up showing him, his name on her wrist.

Tarn's shoulders started shaking before bursting out in hysterical laughter, scaring the tar out of Nickle who vacated the med-bay as Tarn's laughter died down to soft sobbing before gently pulling his new found mate close nuzzling and taking in her scent. You on the other hand were crying not tears of happiness. But, of mourning of the life you're now forced to live…

{Next time: we pay Branwen's master a visit, and find that Nives wasn't as innocent as we were led to believe. }

My headcannon: Tarn's voice works on organics! though it's effects are similar to a nuclear bomb going off, basically it turns your brain to jello and ruptures your ear drums (Ouch). It could be a very quick death or a slow and painful one, depending on pitch and his mood and how close you're standing to him.
