I remember being escorted onto their ship, the wraith's ship. I was kept in a room and was waiting to be taken to a hive ship to discuss plans for an alliance with my people through marriage. By doing this, a new breed of creature would be born and my father's blood line would continue on. Then there was shaking and explosions. I did not know what was going on. But my door flew open and numerous weapons were being pointed at me. I surrendered, but only because I needed to survive. The enemies- the humans, captured me after ambushing the ship and now I was in enemy territory. If there is no alliance to be made, then war will continue…
Normal POV
John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, and Ronon Dex and their team had just returned with one prisoner from the Wraith ship that was just seconds from going into hyperspace. Because she surrendered, they took her to see Carson Beckett, the ship's doctor. Beckett was shining a small light on her amber eyes while the team watched from behind a glass window. Numerous guards were stationed in the infirmary just in case something happens, and the woman proved hostile. Commander Elizabeth Weir walked over with authority and with her was Rodney McKay.
"Has she said anything, why she was on the Wraith ship?" she asked. John shook his head with uncertainty.
"No. She hasn't said a word." he replied. Elizabeth nodded looking at the girl through the window. She had a slim figure with amber eyes and long black hair. The side bangs were braided. On her neck were black symbols. Rodney looked closer at the window examining her. It seemed Carson was trying to speak to her, but he didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Teyla looked at her friends.
"Maybe she will speak to a female. Maybe then she will be comfortable." she said gently. Ronon was silent as he examined the woman. He had found her first, and pointed his gun directly to her head. He thought she was a Wraith, but she didn't move and didn't have green skin. She was a black woman who looked almost content with the fact that she was about to die.
"Those markings." Rodney said quickly catching everyone's attention. "I've seen them before… read about them too." Now his eyes were widened and he had placed his face closer to the glass. John arched a brow.
"Get any closer, and you'll be one with the window Rodney, what's up?" he asked. Rodney looked at his friends with wide eyes.
"I can't be sure, but I think she's Quinapi." he said. Now everyone seemed shocked, except for Teyla who tensed greatly.
"You had better be sure before making such an accusation." she said quite seriously, her tone shocking everyone.
"Okay hold on. What's a Quinapi?" Elizabeth said and Rodney and Teyla looked at each other before looking at their commander.
"The Quinapi are a very high intelligent species. They are ruled by a king and queen who further their blood lines. They are ruthless to those inferior to them and have remarkable fighting skills. They have never lost a war, because their technology is very valuable and successful. Rumor has it, that they are a race that the Wraith have tried to cull, and paid a high price of defeat and humiliation. They are not human and if anything are more of a threat then the Wraith, because their advanced weapons are strong enough to wipe out civilizations." she said. Now everyone's eyes widened and Elizabeth's eyes hardened.
"What? And you think this girl… is a Quinapi?" she asked looking at Rodney. "Why am I now just hearing this?" Rodney shrugged.
"I have read they are an extinct race… but if she is one, then commander her race has been around for thousands of years almost surpassing the ancients!" he exclaimed. Ronon frowned.
"So we have a new enemy?" he asked lowly and now John raised his hands.
"Now hold on. Teyla's right, Rod, you better be damned sure this girl is what you say she is." he said. Elizabeth nodded.
"John's right. We may have a threat in Atlantis and until we find out who she is, we will have to take caution." she told. The door beside the window open and Carson exited looking exhausted.
"How is she?" Teyla asked. Carson shrugged.
"She wasn't harmed by the Wraith. Her vitals were normal and if anything she's been well looked after." he replied. John nodded.
"Has she said anything to you?" he asked. Carson nodded.
"She asks if she can be released before her father finds out where she is." he said. Elizabeth was curious and she looked at Rodney.
"Okay, McKay you go finalize your assumptions. John, you and your team will go speak to the prisoner… do not rile her. Carson, try and get a blood sample if you can and report back to me." she demanded. John and his team nodded before separating.
Her POV
The man I concluded was a medicine man, asked me questions and checked me out before leaving. I was to myself now aside from the warriors who watched me. I had to be mindful of my words and actions if I am to make it out of here or at least wait until my father finds me. The door opened again and the three people who captured me and the medicine man came back in. I was mildly tense leaning back some in the bed I was in.
"Hi again." the medicine man said with a smile. "I was wondering if I could take a sample of your blood and make sure you're not sick or injured on the inside."
"Do not medicine men of you… humans have magic to search my blood?" I asked and they all seemed mildly surprised. The medicine man chuckled.
"No I'm afraid it doesn't work like that here." he said. I looked around the room. Humans were still not up to speed with us yet. The raven haired man walked over to me and beside him was the brown haired woman and warrior who had almost killed me.
"Hello," the raven haired man started, "My name is John Sheppard. These are Teyla Emmagan, and Ronon Dex. The medicine man is Carson Beckett." I nodded.
"You are… warriors." I replied and John nodded with a small smile.
"Yeah something like that." he said. I looked the three over before Carson walked over to me with a long needle.
"May I miss?" he asked opening his hand to me. I knew I was clean of infections, but I doubt they cared about that. I could see the needle was empty and could see nor smell traces of poison on the tip even with my heightened senses. I only nodded and stuck my hand out.
"You want to tell us why you were on a Wraith ship?" Ronon asked with aggression in his tone. I watched as my blood was taken.
"I was being transferred to a hive ship to negotiate a marriage of our species to form an alliance." I replied. Now all four of them looked disgusted and they just looked at me.
"How could anyone agree to an alliance… let alone a marriage to those creatures?" Teyla asked. I looked at her now.
"The Wraith cannot beat us… so they have asked for a truce and want an alliance. It was the only way to get them to stop bothering us. My father was going to wipe them out, but has decided other options." I explained now watching the three. Ronon growled now.
"How can you just sit there and agree to have an alliance with them!" he snapped. I stared at him for a moment almost curious of the hostility before nodding.
"That's right. You humans are in a civil war with the Wraith. They suck your life from you with the palm of their hands." I replied.
"Yes. And you deciding to team up with them doesn't really make us friends here." John said. I shook my head.
"It is of no consequence to us what you and the Wraith do. I was not successfully transported to the hive ship, so there will be no negotiation just an act of war on this world we are on and the annihilation of your people." I explained. Now everyone was tensed and confused.
"What, on us, what did we do?" Carson asked quickly. I looked at him.
"You have taken hostage a royal member of the Quinapi people. My father will send his ships to find me and when he does… he will leave no one alive. Kidnapping a child of the Quinapi is punishable by death." I replied. Now everyone just stood there wide eyed and mouths dropped. The door suddenly opened and another human came in. He had a goofy looking face.
"I WAS RIGHT SHE IS A QUINAPI!"
