AN: Hey, here's a new story. This doesn't actually have Arbiter in it, but its story like the others. A human and an elite together. I don't know what happened after the wars of Halo, so srry if its not very canon. And I kno the name of the story sounds lame, but it makes sense later. I have character bios of this story on my profile if u want to look. So please read and enjoy. And i would love it if u would review when ur done!

I don't own Halo or any of that stuff it belongs to Bungie. Arica and Vel r my OCs.

I tried to struggle as they dragged me along the dark corridor, but I could do nothing for I was captured in their iron grip. The Elites had kidnapped me soon after I ran away from home, so you could say this was my fault. Usually, the Sangheili would just kill someone they find, but they knew I was important. My name is Arica Grey, daughter of Eric Grey, a great general that has helped in killing many of the Covenant. Though the war was over, some Elites were still loyal to the Covenant, and others held grudges against the humans for killing their brothers. This was the reason they wanted me, to continue the work of the Covenant or to get back at my father.

I feared what they would do to me. If they tortured me for information, I would probably crack; giving them information that could kill my people. Or they could hold me for ransom, though I doubt my father would oblige, not even to save my life. The thought brought great sadness upon me, but I scolded myself. This is not the time to get sad! I turned my head to look at my captors. The Elite on my left had the armor of a Zealot, a very high class if I remember correctly from my studies. The one on my right only wore that of a Minor, the lowest class in Elite positions.

We finally went through a door that led to a hallway filled with small cages. As we walked past them, I could see the prisoners in each one. They ranged from crazy grunts, to a lone jackal hanging its head sadly. The Elites dropped me in front of one cage, opened it, and then kicked me inside. I groaned in pain and clutched my side. I was lucky they hadn't broken a rib. The two Sangheili started to converse in their own language; well it sounded more like the Zealot was ordering the Minor. The Minor nodded his, or her I suppose, head and left without another word. The Zealot looked at me for a moment, seeming to think about what he was planning to do to me.

Then he was gone, and I was left alone, to wonder and fear about what they were going to do to me. I ran my long fingers through my brown hair, trying to calm my fears. Finally, after sitting there for a few minutes, I lied down and fell asleep.

I awoke a few hours later to the sound of the door to my cage being opened. I rose up as an Elite entered the small room. The Elite walked toward me, trying to grab me, but I wouldn't go down without a fight. I stood in a stance, preparing myself for when he would try to seize me. The Elite moved towards me and I dove for the opening on the right. I ran but was caught when I got through the door. So, I decided to do it 'tantrum style'. I screamed at the top of my lungs, banging my fists as hard as I could against my captor, and kicking my legs. This seemed to have no effect on the Elite, but I didn't stop; until he threw me on the floor with force. I coughed, trying to catch my breath after the pain distributed to my back.

The Elite, the Zealot one, picked me up and threw me over his shoulder easily. Now, I gave up, knowing I had no chance to fight them. I glanced up, seeing two other Minors with plasma rifles. I sighed, worried about what they were going to do to me. He continued to carry me down the long hallway. We walked for about an hour going through several doors, and making a few turns. Where are they taking me? I wondered, afraid.

I was starting to drift asleep, getting lulled by the movement of the Elite under me; when they dropped me to the floor in a large room that was empty except for a few items. There was a strange- shaped container in the middle of the room, and two beds; one with an Elite sleeping on it. The Elite was still dressed in his armor and was strangely still, but he wasn't dead because I could see the rise and fall of his chest. His armor was different than the others I've seen or studied. It was gold with intricate designs, and covered most of his body. Why is he sleeping? Or is he sleeping? These were the questions I asked myself.

They shoved me to the floor near the strange container. It was diamond- shaped with the top sides taller and longer than the bottom sides that held it up. It was made of a silvery-looking metal, and had an unknown language engraved on it. What are they gonna do to me? I wondered, scared for my life. I turned around to see them discussing something in the Sangheili language. I looked around the room, searching for a weapon or an escape route. I looked back at the sleeping Sangheili and noticed that he still had a weapon attached to his side. I glanced back at the Elite guards, who were still conversing, to make sure they weren't paying attention to me. I started to crawl slowly towards the bed, towards my goal. Finally I reached it after what seemed like hours, and I started to reach for it when someone grabbed my ankles and pulled me back. A scream escaped my lips from fear. The Elite picked me up and threw me on the bed that was empty.

Other Elites came over and held me down, I tried to fight kicking and screaming, but they were much stronger than me. They tightly strapped me down to the bed. I struggled, though I knew it was no use. Then a female Sangheili entered the room. She was dressed in the customary Priestess robes. The Elites bowed their head slightly to her as she walked to the center of the room. The Priestess crouched down next to the container and began to chant the unknown language written on it. The container started to open and from it a blinding white light poured out. Then the light shone on me and I started to feel groggy and tired. I tried to fight it, but it was too strong, and I lost as my vision turned to darkness.

Thanks for reading. And im sorry i didnt do very well describing the strange container. And that part is actually kind of from Star wars kotor,if u played it its called the mysterious box in that game. Plz review!
