Resisting Fate

by Yumi Hinasaki

Spock has reccuring nightmares about a dark place with an altar and a pit in the centre. He is told he's become a sacrifice and now he has a strange black mark on his chest. Kirk also has a black mark on his chest that is different to Spock's. Can they resist their fates and save their friendship? Kirk x Spock, warning contains implied non-consensual sex.

I have returned to this place again. I don't know how I have been able to come here. This place is so lonely and feels cold; there is an altar with a large pit directly behind it. I can hear voices; they are coming from this pit. They are calling me. With no control of my body I make my way towards the pit. "Our new sacrifice, first officer Spock of the star ship 'Enterprise' has finally arrived..." I cannot see the person addressing me but I feel my body being pulled into the pit. My last thought is of my captain before the darkness overwhelms me...

Commander Spock of the star ship 'Enterprise' awoke from his restless slumber. He checked the time and saw that it was only two o'clock in the morning. He had been having those dreams for a couple of weeks now but something seemed off, there was an agonising pain in his chest area. Carefully he peeled off his shirt and looked down at his chest. There was a strange black marking in some unknown dialect engraved into his skin. He understood from this marking that these dreams were no ordinary nightmares they were something more sinister.

He struggled to get back to sleep after coming to this realisation; he also realized that he would have to consult his captain James T Kirk about the dreams and the marking. As the hour was so late he decided to leave it until Kirk actually awoke. Spock decided to try and get back to sleep.

The second he closed his eyes he was back at the pit again, this time he was accompanied by a man he didn't know. "The great creature of the pit has decided to appoint you as the next sacrifice; there is a lot to prepare. You must endure great suffering before you are to be killed and thrown into the pit, that's how it works you must be hurt in the worst ways imaginable, by your closest friends and strangers. You have no choice once you are marked that is it you cannot escape your fate. Mr Spock we hope to be seeing you at some point in the near future, well at least until your body can stand to be separated from your fate." The man vanished.

Spock woke up again to find a mere hour had passed since he last woke up. There was only one thing left to do he had to talk to Kirk immediately...
