Chapter 1: Proper Women
A seventeen-year-old girl pushed through the crowded streets of the busy ports. Different sailors boarding ships, workers loading cargo, and families sniffing goodbyes to their loved one occupying its docks. She spotted a familiar five mast shipped as it glinting proudly in the noon sky, while it bobbed silently in the air; the RLS SuperNova.
" Madison wait!" A female voice sounded behind her.
The young woman paid no head as she gathered her petticoat-ed skirts about her and sprinted towards the dock. Dodging various species of life and cargo she finally made it to the dock of the SuperNova. Her brown eyes darted around nervously, waiting for a familiar face. A large hand tapped her shoulder as she froze, knowing that she was an unchaperoned girl in a very busy port, let alone the fact that there are no such things as human women spacers.
" You plan on commeendering this ship miss?" A rough voice questioned.
A smile spread across her face as she turned to face a broad shoulder man in a captain's uniform. His blue coat worn as various medals and badges of honor glinted proudly from his right breast. Blue eyes smiled at her, his hair dark with grey peppering his temples. She instantly launched herself into his arms as he laughed with surprise, returning her embrace with a tight squeeze.
" Father!" She laughed as he started to swing her in circles, much like when she was a child.
" Maddy!" He mocked in a similar manner, setting her down. " Where's your aunt?"
" Oh, aunt Norien?" Madison laughed nervously." She's...ah...catching up."
" Maddy you know the rules." He reprimanded her, taking a moment to rub his bad knee.
" When have I ever let those stop me?" Madison questioned playfully, trying to soften her father's glare.
" Madison Jane Kingsley!" A shrill voice cut through the air.
' Ah shit.' She thought to herself, wincing at her full name.
" What did I tell you about running off like that!?" The elder woman complained, her brown eyes darting with worry about who would be watching. She soon tried to catch her breath as she righted her skirts and made sure her bonnet was still in place. " It's not proper for a young woman."
" I'm sorry aunt Norien." Madison mumbled, rolling her eyes at her aunt's incessant worry.
" Really Arthur." Norien addressed her father. " You really should keep an eye on this one- Oh my! The look at the state of your hair and clothes Madison!"
Before she knew it Madison found herself in her aunt's clutches as the woman started fixing her skirts about her. Then righted her collar and straightened her silver locket, before moving on to her hair which she found the need to braid all over again. Madison waved her away before putting her long black hair in a messy twist, then hid it beneath her bonnet. Giving her father and exasperated look as if to say ' see what I put up with?' before she walked the plank up to her father's ship.
" She is quite the handful isn't she?" Arthur laughed, watching his daughter board the ship with a close eye.
" Arthur you don't know how much worry she causes me daily!" Norien shrieked. " I mean really, how in the galaxy she going to attract a husband? She needs to calm down and act like a proper young lady or no sensible man will come near her!"
" H-Husband!?" Arthur stuttered.
" Well yes," Norien continued softly. " She's almost of age and she really needs to focus on her future. With you acting like she can just run around like a five-year-old is not helping! She needs to get her head out of the galaxy, away from those solar ships and back down to Earth. Where she belongs."
" You don't think I've tried?" Arthur questioned gruffly, rubbing a large hand at the base of his neck. " She's got this need for adventure, she's too much like her mother..."
" I know, but don't you think Jane would want Madison to have a nice, sensible husband?" Norien sighed softly. " A future?"
Arthur felt his throat starting to constrict at the thought of his late and only wife. He watched as Madison, a spitting image of Jane, stood at the bridge. Recognizing that wistful look that he had seen in his wife so many times, while Madison looked across the wide open galaxy. He knew he wasn't always there for her, the life of a spacer always uncertain and hectic. He also had an inkling that what maybe Norien, his wife's sister, was saying was right. Madison really did need to settle down and focus on her studies and maybe start attracting...suitors. Although it was a hard concept for him to swallow, she was growing up at an alarming rate and Norien seemed to be the only one who could accommodate those needs.
" It seemed like only yesterday she was knee high, running towards me in pigtails." Arthur voiced his musings.
" I know," Norien agreed with a nod of her head. " but the reality is, that's she's not a child anymore. When we return to Earth, she needs to immerse herself into her studies and I will be tutoring her on how to behave and act like a young lady. Which will apply within the home and in public."
While Norien and Arthur were discussing Madison's future, the young woman in question was exploring the SuperNova. Carrying on a familiar routine that she has done every time she has been able to board the solar ship, usually before her father left on another shipment or when he came home. She carried on quietly, never conversing with the other spacers for they changed regularly which each different company he shipped goods to different planets for. Madison sighed as she crossed to starboard and went up a flight of stairs, which lead to a circular platform, mimicking the one atop the bird's nest. She recalled her father calling them flying bridges as she stood upon the small platform, looking down into the endless miles of stars and and dots of planets winking back at her. Madison then exited the flying bridge as she made her way to the main deck, observing the large copper generator stick up from underneath the bridge. Knowing that it was powered from the energy gathered from the solar sails, then stopped in front of the main-mast. She looked up at the crows nest as her eyes traveled up the miles of rope criss-crossing like a make shift ladder to reach it.
' How I wish I could get rid of these blasted skirts and climb up there, the view must be amazing.' Madison thought to herself wistfully.
Madison allowed herself to reach out and grip of the lines in her hands as she contemplated just going up a few feet.
" What do you think your doing little lady?"
" N-Nothing father." Madison answered, turning around to see her father watching her.
Madison felt her cheeks turn red in embarrassment, wondering how long he had been watching her. While she gazed in wonder at his ship like she was a small child all over again. She dared her eyes to meet with him only to see a sad smile grace his weathered face. She took a moment as she looked for the fit, pistol firing, spacer that her mother fell in love with. From what she's been told by her aunt and various family members, she got her sassy attitude and adventuresome personality from her mother. Which is why she fell in love and married a spacer, Madison could make out a smaller more fit form of her father. The worry wrinkles and graying seeming to fall away as a new spacer cabin boy stood proudly, gazing out into the various wonders from a twelve mast ship. During her musings she had subconsciously started fingering the silver locket which sat low on her neck, her mother's, whom she wished she could have known, never getting the chance since she died during child birth.
" Your the only piece of her I got left you know." Arthur interrupted her thoughts.
Madison silently raised her eyebrow.
" Which is why I need you with Norien, safe." He continued.
' God, please don't let him start this speech again.' Madison groaned internally.
" Trust me if I could take you on every voyage and have all these epic experiences that you seem to think I do; I would. But you must understand that one, the human race has outlawed any kind of women spacers and second...I need you home safe." Arthur explained softly.
" Uh! Why!? I thought all those years ago when women fought for their rights we could work equally amongst men!" Madison exclaimed angrily, ignoring his last point.
" That was before solar spacing was even known to mankind." Arthur gave a humorless chuckle. " Our species government is worried that the human race is becoming less dominant, with all these new and unknown aliens occupying the galaxy, a woman's job is needed in creating families. You've heard it in your classes from every teacher you've aggravated about it, you shouldn't need me to repeat it."
" Yeah, yeah I know." Madison grumbled, leaning against the mast; arms folded defiantly.
" Well then you know how important it is to your aunt that... to your aunt and I, that you stay on Earth and behave." The old spacer reminded her. " Now I was speaking to Norien and she has told me that it would be best if you started taking lessons from her on how to act like a....uh...proper woman-"
" Poper woman!?" Madison scoffed. " Ha!"
" I expect you to be nothing but compliant and obedient. Do I make myself clear?" He continued on in cold and commanding voice, she's only heard when he orders his crew about to leave port.
Madison stood there, so shocked and hurt that her mouth opened and closed trying to form words. After finding that nothing would come from her mouth she sent her father a heated glare before roughly brushing past him. Arthur sighed as he watched his daughter walk down the plank and standing off near the cargo load; her anger rolling off of her in almost visible waves. Norien daintily joined his side on the ship as she gave him a knowing look.
" I'm guessing you told her then." She shook her head.
" Well I had to sooner or later." Arthur answered in almost a defensive tone.
" Yes, but now you've got her in a state and she's going to be particularly unruly now." She replied with a pointed look.
" Gets it from her mother I presume." Arthur shrugged his shoulders.
" No actually that would be her stubborn side," Norien continued. " Which she unmistakeably got from her father."
Arthur stood there speechless.
" Alright now move your old bones, we've got to catch the last flight out of this place to Earth." Norien continued, slipping an arm through Arthur's with sisterly affection.
Arthur nodded his head as he started walking her off the ship and down the plank, his limping getting more severe with age. He approached Madison and as he was going to inform her of their leave he suddenly cried out in pain, falling to his right knee.
" Father!" Madison exclaimed, turning to see him on the ground.
" What's wrong Arthur?" Norien questioned softly, trying her best not to make a scene.
" It's nothing." The old captain gasped. " Just this knee, it's starting to give out on me."
" How many times has this happened?" Madison questioned worriedly, helping him to his feet as she looped her arm through his.
" A few times on the voyage but lately it's been getting difficult to walk." He admitted starting to walk slowly.
He saw the worried look the two females shared as they flanked his side in a protective manner. Arthur gave a big laugh causing his large belly to shake as he drew the two near him. He assured him that all would be well once he got some rest as they made their way to another loading dock; boarding for Earth. An hour later Madison sat bored on the passenger ship as she sat on the quarterdeck, looking back at Spaceport Crecentia which they had just left, the port looking like a crescent moon. She always felt like crying when she left, wishing for another occasion which could bring her back to the exciting place.
' Oh stop it and grow up, you know you will never be a spacer! So you might as well face reality.' Her conscience spoke up rather harshly.
Madison couldn't help but agree with the voice though, she knew that her father and Norien mean well. Hell, they have her better interests at heart more than she ever will. So with a silent goodbye she returned to her designated room, waiting to land back on her prison; Earth.
/*~*~*~*~*~*~/
Eons away a tall alien with a female figure watched as all different kinds of species ransacked a passenger ship, killing humans and other types of aliens alike. The female watched with a sick smile, her green pigmented skin matched with her long hair. Which at first would seem like dreadlocks, although where hair would be the locks wound with green scales; the ends having an arrowhead like design. The ends seemed to join in her reaction as they opened to reveal razor sharp needle-like teeth, snapping and biting in delight. Her scale covered eyebrows rose in fascination at the sight as electric green eyes observed the screaming innocents being picked off one by one. Her long face ending in an almost pointed chin, her jaw twitching as if she'd rather be down on the ship next to hers; killing along with her crew.
" Schlop!" She hissed.
" Yes, Captain Sauren!?" A pudgy blue alien waddled over, black symbols covering him from head to large stomach.
" Guard our ship." Sauren ordered, grabbing onto a spare rope. " I'm heading over to have a little tet-a-tet with the captain."
Without waiting for a reply she swung herself from the bow, landing on the bridge of the other ship. She looked to see a man in a navy blue captains uniform, desperately fighting off the enclosing aliens, trying to shield his wife who seemed heavy with child. As soon as she approached, her long black high heeled boots clicking, the group around him dispersed. With a flick of her curled nail the captain's weapons were torn from his person. She watched as unadulterated horror flicked across his face, which broadened her smile as she approached him. With a dramatic swish of her red tailored coat her other hand stopped short of his neck in a cupping position. Instantly the Captain felt pressure around his airways as he started to turn blue.
" Now," Sauren continued in a calm voice. " You are going to tell me where your pay and valuables are. They are most likely locked as well so you will also hand me the key to wherever they are hidden. Understood?"
The Captain bravely shook his head defiantly.
Without breaking eye contact Sauren pointed a pistol at his wife's head.
" Understood!?" She snapped, levitating him further into the air.
The brave Captain darted her eyes from Sauren's pistols to his wife's blue eyes, filled with tears of fright. He hurriedly agreed by bobbing his head up and down frantically, struggling to remain conscious. Sauren smiled, revealing pointed teeth letting go of the man, as he fell to the ship with a loud thump.
" That wasn't too hard now was it?" She asked in a mock concerned tone. " Although you did defy me, so you are going to have to suffer the consequence."
Before the Captain could utter a word of mercy a cyber bullet from the aimed pistol shot through his wife's skull. A red mist sprayed onto the polished wood behind her as she slumped back silently. Her face still holding the mold of fear it had been in as blood soaked her golden hair. Her husband reacting in shock as he tried to process the scene behind him, he then turned his accusing eyes towards Sauren.
" I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE YOU ANYHTING!" He spat.
Sauren rolled her eyes, not allowing any sort of apprehension to flicker across her face. Then a sudden cry put her previous plan back into action. Watching a small boy bounding towards them, he could not be more than seven. He shared blue eyes and golden hair, features so similar to the couple before the alien. Sauren smirked as she wordlessly gathered the small boy, who could be no more the seven, within her constraining locks.
" Jeremy!" The Captain cried in disbelief.
" You know what happened last time you defied me." Sauren stated coolly, outstretching her open palm; waiting.
" Mama!" Jeremy cried, recognizing his mother's bloodied form.
The Captain hurriedly reached around his neck before producing a gold chain, a large brass key dangling from the end of it. He explained to the woman that it opened a compartment in a large cabinet within his quarters. There, he said, where he held all of his money and goods. Sauren swiped the key from his hand, blood oozing from the scratches she sliced within his palm. Although the wounds didn't seem to bother him as he stayed completely focused on his trapped son. His pleas for her to release him continued as she turned away from him; inspecting the key further. She knew with her back turned to him that Jeremy was tauntingly out of his reach, as the young boy tried to reach for his father. Although her precious locks would have none of it as they snapped ferociously each time the Captain reached for him.
" Git rid of him." She hissed to her first mate.
An insectoid with long, strong legs that had menacing points sticking out behind it's calves and thighs led to a lean, bony body which it's spine could be clearly seen. Although it was protected by hard shelling which lead into menacing arms which ended in pinchers that one should see on a lobster or crab. It's face leading into a small mouth, hook like teeth poking out from over his bottom lip, where his nose would be a large pointed needle; like a mosquitoes, pointed out dangerously. It's eyes large an almost fly-like with another set of smaller ones dotting just below, blinking back at her through blood red pupils.
" Aye Cap'n." His gravely voice answered as he opened on of his pinchers.
Grabbing the horrified Captain by the throat he flexed his biceps as the pinchers sliced through his neck. Jeremy screamed as he watched his father's head roll off of the deck, his body falling limp next to his wife. Sauren sent him a smirk as she gave her nod of approval, the insectoid dipping his head in what seemed like honor.
" PAPA!" Jeremy screamed. " NOOO! WAKE UP! MAMA!"
" Children are just so annoying." Sauren stated before turning to her first mate. " Wouldn't you agree Mr. Kroggins?"
" Absolutely Captain." Kroggins wheezed.
Sauren gave him a smirk before her locks opened their ends and latched onto the boy's neck. Blood rapidly flowed from his viens as they spilled over his small frame and onto the bridge. Once he fell limp the locks threw the body next to his family's before giving a hiss of triumph. A contented sigh escaped Sauren as she ordered Mr. Kroggins to follow her into the Captain's quarters. She waved her hand as the doors opened with a wave of her hand, observing a white room with a large desk, small bunk and large oak cabinet. She strode over toward the cabinet and roughly threw the doors open before searching a compartment with a key hole. After finding it she quickly opened it, not bothering to tak out the key as she counted a year's worth of captain's earning and a few captain's logs.
" Alas, rubbish." She scoffed, handing the money to Mr. Kroggins. " Put it with the rest, get every body back on board, I think we're finished here."
The pair came back onto the main deck, as Sauren tried not to ruin her heeled boots in the crimson puddles or dead bodies. She looked at the few hundred passengers, mostly dead, with a bored expression wishing she had the time to take each and one of their prize possessions personally. Although time would not allow it, as she was sure the pathetic Galatical Protection Force would be on their way. She nodded to her first mate expectantly as his gravely voice carried over the chaos of the passenger ship.
" LISTEN UP EVERY SCUM FUCKIN' ONE OF YOU!" Mr. Kroggins addressed the crew.
' Very colorful calling, I like it.' Sauren smirked to herself.
" GET WHATEVER SUPPLIES YOU'VE FOUND AND YOUR SORRY ASSES BACK ON BOARD! STOP PILLAGING, KILLING AND RAPING BEFORE WE ALL GET THE GALLOWS!" Mr. Kroggins orders sent the pirates reeling into action.
Some stopped searching pockets, others tugged their swords out of limp bodies while most of the males threw the crying young women aside. They then grabbed open ropes as they swung back to the Serpent, each celebrating and laughing. Mr. Kroggins looked at the survivors, which were mainly young women and children before questioning his leader what to do with them.
" Burn the ship." Sauren replied nonchalantly.
While the others set to work on setting a bomb on the copper, solar-powered engine Sauren waited until a plank fell across poart-side of the bridge. While she turned towards her exit, Mr. Kroggins bowed and stepped back as he allowed his superior to cross before he did.
" Waiting for the lady to cross, Mr. Kroggins?" Captain Sauren mocked.
" A gentleman should, for every proper woman." Kroggins played along.
" Ha!" Sauren scoffed. " Proper women are for scum fuckers."
Mr. Kroggins smiled sickly as she used his very own words, while he followed quietly behind her on the plank of wood. Within seconds the crew of the Serpent was gathered and the twelve-mast ship, with green sails, blasted far off into another galax; to another planet. Riding on the wave of explosion from the passenger ship they had just pillaged. Certainly not their first and if Sauren could do anything about it, far from their last.
Woot Woot! Yeah, so basically that took me all day to write and worked really hard so reviews would be much appreciated! I felt so mean just writing Sauren, I promise I'm not a mean person, just a writer trying to entertain for some reviews! Don't worry Jim Hawkins will make his sexy appearance- I mean appearance next chapter! hehe
* Story notes- just some fun little side notes I actually used Sauren's look from early designs that were considered for Captain Amelia and twisted them into my own sick way! hehe I got all the other terminology such as flying bridge and Spaceport Crecentia from the bonus section on the DVD. I'm trying to be as accurate as I can with the film and it's rather hard putting it all together in a story.
So I hoped you enjoy the first chapter and don't forget to review if you would like to see more!
