Talia's(pronounced Tar-lee-a) POV
Deep breaths. In and out. Supplying vital energy to all the muscles. In perfect calm. My legs rest gently on each other as I meditate.
I have been in this cell for 36 hours by my count. One loaf of bread. A large jug of water. For some reason which I have not yet deduced, they want me alive.
Not that I need it. My body has been modified on a genetic level to create its own energy from the surrounding environment, hydrogen, oxygen whatever there is, synthesised into a sustainable food source.
This is the Kree warship called the Dark Aster. When I first came, I hoped to make an escape route. Now I know that escape is impossible until I find the ship's security codes. And the ship's security codes lie with it's Master. This . . . this Ronan . . . the Accuser. Time to go catch me a Kree.
I stretch my body up and rise.
Taking a deep breath, I bend over and start screaming.
"Aahhhh! Help me! Help me please!"
The guards respond in impressive time. They rush into the cell. I spring into action.
I drive my elbow into the side of the first guard's head. There is no need to stop and wait. I know my strikes are always successful.
My body slides to the side as I dodge a strike from the second. Leaping into the air, I lash out my leg. He grunts as tumbles forward. Ten seconds strike time. I've beat the last record.
I take a small knife from the guard's pocket and start to move. My mind does not analyse the design of the ship. It is not important. I have my mission and it will be completed.
The layout is simple. The glowing blue orbs lead to the Bridge. Where I will inevitably find Ronan.
"Halt!"
A loud female voice pierces through the air behind me. I turn around. Nebula.
That bitch nearly beat me half to death when I was brought here. Of course I healed in no time. But she's on my bad books. Not a good place to be.
"Return to your cell or die!" she bellows, drawing the stun bar.
"Be silent Nebula. I seek an audience with your Master. Grant me this and I will return to my cell with no problems."
"Lord Ronan sees no one."
"Then I guess I'll have to get his attention."
Drawing my weapon, I lunge.
Anyway guys! Vote and comment please! My motivation lives on your encouragement! Tell me what you think!
