Flux War
Chapter 1: The Intruder.
Tia stood there. She looked happy and lively on the outside but on the inside she felt cold and dead. I should have become an actress, Tia laughed secretly to herself, as she pretended to laugh at some joke that wasn't even that funny. In fact the joke didn't even have a point. Today was Tia's nineteenth birthday party. At parties you're meant to be all happy and dancing around crazily, while everything gives you presents to celebrate another year of your life. However, Tia was different. She would have preferred to jump out of a window. Why you might ask? Tia stared at the man on the opposite side of the room. To everyone that wasn't good at seeing through disguises they would see a young man around the age of his early twenties, with a nice personality and dashing good looks that would send any women falling to their knees in a five mile radius. But Tia knew differently. She could see the evil glint in his eyes. She had seen it the first time she had met him but didn't know what it was at first. Hell, she probably would never have met him if her parents weren't so desperate to marry her off to a rich family, so their position in politics would increase. She cursed herself for being so young and stupid back then. She truly thought that she was in love with him because of the way he would spoil her and call her beautiful all the time, something no one had ever told her (not even her parents). So when he asked for her hand in marriage she accepted, even though she was only seventeen at the time, her parents had happily giving their blessing. Taking this as a good sign (since her parents did nothing but criticise her for all her life) she went ahead planning the wedding. At first she wanted a small wedding with close family and friends but her fiancé insisted they should have a big wedding and since she was so stupid and was willing to do whatever he said, she planned a big wedding. It was on their wedding night that everything changed. She was in the bathroom, trying to prepare herself for her first night as a married woman, when he came in screaming for her to hurry up, when she asked if he was all right he punched her in the face, beating her until most of her body was covered in bruises. The torture continued when he dragged her to the bed and had sex with her. After he had finished he fell straight to sleep, leaving her to drag herself to the bathroom, crying while she fixed herself up. She keep repeating to herself that he had just had a little too much at the bar and that in the morning when he realise what he had done he would apologise and try to make it up to her somehow. But from then on things only got worse. She had tried to get away, she had gone to the police but it seemed that her complaint forms would disappeared and somehow end up into the hands of her husband. When she finally tried to call her parents for help she found out that they were killed in a spacecraft accident, just days after her wedding and that husband had been informed of the incident. So with no help, no family and her husband watching her bank accountants carefully, there was nothing she could do. Thankfully, after a few weeks he was displeased with her bed performances and started sleeping with other woman instead, so it was very rare for him to come into her room now a days. He still beat her but that was only if she ever crossed paths with him, so she would hang out in the library –the one place he hated- and stay in there all day or go swimming in a nearby swimming pool centre just down the road. She had tried to commit suicide but before she could go on with it a little voice would shout in her head, saying one day someone would come and rescues her from this hell. It sounded stupid to her but she clung onto it with every last will and hope she had left. She took another look at a man across the room. His name was Jonathan Point and she hated his guts. She let out a sigh of relief when he saw him talking with Katy Smith, his number one bed partner. I bet he doesn't beat you when you make love, Tia hissed to Katy mentally. She was about to turn back to the conversation she was having when something caught her eye. It was a young man she had never seen before. He was very tall and well muscled, with milk chocolate skin and beautiful gold eyes. He was very handsome and seemed to have something good and gentle about him. I'm surprise Jonathan actually has a friend like that and even invite in over, Tia thought, since she knew Jonathan hated people that were better looking then him. Tia couldn't take her eyes off him for some reason. Her eyes grew wider when she saw him nick a security key from one of the guard's pockets. He was just about to walk away when his gold eyes caught her emerald ones. She caught her breath when they stared at each other. A good housewife should have reported him to the nearest guard but she had been told constantly by Jonathan that she was a crap housewife and she didn't want to get him in trouble for some reason, so she turned back to the conversation she was having with her guests. Trying to forget what she saw.
It was one o'clock at night. The guests had gone about an hour ago but Tia had to stay up for a bit longer to help the cleaning up with the staff. After that was done Tia began to drag her feet to bed. But stopped when she heard arguing down the hall.
"So you think you can just walk in here and talk private information huh!" Jonathan cried out. There was a thud, letting Tia know that he was beating someone. "Well, let me tell you something, anyone that tries to steal Emperor Bleylock army plans always gets killed." There was another thud and something like a groan. Army plans? What was Jonathan doing mixed up with plans by Emperor Bleylock? Was he helping Bleylock win the war which has been going on for nearly twenty years? Tia's heart was racing faster than a crazy bull running after a red flag attracted to a race car. How could he be working with such a monster? Tia thought angrily to herself as she clutched her fists. He started a war for goodness sake and for what. Power! How could you get yourself caught up in this Jonathan? Then Tia mentally slapped myself. Of course Jonathan would get himself mixed up in this, he's a power hungry pig. Hell, that was the only reason for marrying me, to get my money and my connections. Whatever it was I didn't want to be a part of it. She tried to make herself walk away but stopped at what Jonathan said next.
"But I'll tell you what, since you have pretty golden eyes I'll make you a deal," As soon as he said it Tia heart stopped, making her freeze like a lifeless statue. Did he just say gold eyes? Her heart twisted in pain at that moment, she didn't understand why but her heart went out to the man that her husband was beating up at the moment. She knew what it was like to be hit by those fist. She listen carefully to what her husband was saying. "If you can tell me plans from The Allies, I'll let you live, now doesn't that sound fair." His questioned was followed by a defiant silence. The man was brave, Tia thought, as a tear escape down the side of her cheek. When he first beat her she had beg and cry for mercy, now she didn't say anything because she knew he would never stop beating her. A moment later there was another thud. "Take him too the basement and lock him up with no food or water." Jonathan shrieked. Before he let his man drag the stranger away her husband added. "because of you, I've lost my entertain for this evening, so I'll have to use that bitch of a wife of mine instead." At that last remark Tia ran as quietly as she could to her bedroom and prepare herself for the horrors of tonight.
She lay there awake with her husband slightly on top of her. Tia tried to push the disgusting body off her earlier but the last time she did she accidentally woke him up, so he beat her and rape her more before falling back to sleep again, adding more of his body weight onto her. So instead she thought. She should have been feeling angry thoughts at the golden eye stranger because it was his fault that she was being crushed right now. However, she did not have the heart, she was pretty sure that the stranger did not mean to do this to her. Instead, she couldn't help but worry about him. Was he ok? How bad were his wounds? Did he need medical attention? How long could he last? The questions kept repeating themselves over and over again inside her head. If what Jonathan had said was true then the stranger was part of the Allies, they were the only ones that had guts to stand up to Bleylock and his cronies because he had created a powerful flux name MetaFlux and had used it to try and take over the galaxy. However, the Allies had gotten themselves together and started fighting back against Bleylock and cronies (some of the planets that he had conquered and was using their supplies and weapons for his own personal gain). She looked at her husband sleeping on top of her and finally came to a conclusion. She was going to do the one thing that she thought she would never do. Tia was going to rebel against her husband.
