What if Stahma had not killed Christie? What if she had sliced Rahm Tak's throat instead?
Author's note: I don't own Defiance. I'm only a fan. It killed me inside to see Christie die, and it continued to hurt with every episode that had Alak and his son suffer through life without her. I apologize in advance for the almost inevitable OOC moments, and I can almost guarantee Lemons.
Chapter 1
STAHMA
"Kill this human." Rahm Tak's voice eco's in my head
Why did it have to be this human? Why couldn't it be any other human? I would happily have killed anyone else in her stead, so why Christie? Why this young girl that had done nothing more wrong in the eyes of the mad man holding a gun to my husband's head than be born a Human instead of a Vohtan?
"Don't do it- AGH!" it was Datak, my husband. Rahm Tak struck him with the gun in his hand.
"Kill her, or your husband dies! Are you so soft that you would rather your husband die than the pathetic lesser being in front of you?"
I look down at the face of the girl in front of me, not just a girl, but Christie, the wife of my son, Alak; my beautiful daughter in law. Her young face stares up at me, her face defiant, as she speaks "I am not afraid."
The sound of my grandchild's cry snaps me out of my emotional turmoil, and I scream, arcing my arm back and bringing it down into flesh, not human flesh, but the flesh of the cruel Vohtan that held a gun to the head of the man that I loved.
His body hit the wood floor with a thud when, to use a Human term, all hell broke loose.
ALAK
Goddamn Pilar! Christie was in that cabin, my son Lucus, my son, was in that cabin, and I, rather than also being in that cabin, was outside being held against my will by a crazy woman that unfortunately gave birth to my beautiful, levelheaded wife!
"Let me go! I need to get in there!" I yell
"They will kill you along with everyone else!"
I elbowed he in the face, and she dropped like a stone. I ran into the cabin, my gun already aimed, only pausing to say, "I need to protect my family" to the unconscious figure in the snow.
I burst inside, shooting my gun as quickly as I can, shooting everyone but my wife and my parents. My whole family, fighting for each other, and surprisingly, we were winning.
When the last Vohtan finally fell, I pulled Christie into my arms and healed her tight.
