Hey guys, this is my first fic and should get better the further along it goes (I knew how I wanted it to be, I just didn't know how to start it) :P So please rate, any advice would be much appreciated. Rated M for mature content further along the lines ^o^
The first chapter will be a bit short, but again, should get better XD
I own nothing but my OC's.
The sinister sound of scissors snipping away was music to Elim Garak's ears. Of course, that sound would only become sinister in the wrong pair of hands, and only if the wrong pair of ears were listening. Which was why Garak was so content in his solitude. It's not that he preferred to be alone, it's just that being a Cardassian, in these strange times, the empty confines of your own quarters were usually the safer option. He sighed, and stopped cutting strips of fabric. He would never admit it - but how he missed her...
*Several years prior on a small Human Rebel outpost near Cardassia Prime*
"Father, I don't want to marry! I do not know this man, and I am too young anyway!" A 16 year old girl pleaded with the leader of the rebels.
"Lilani I am sorry. But you know that this isn't up for discussion." A tall, fearsome looking man with bags under his eyes grumbled.
Lilani sent her father (Rhaegar Reed) a pleading look, but he just turned away. "Am I really just an item to you? That can be sold whenever you wish?! Sometimes I wonder if you actually love me at all!" She stormed out of the room, leaving her father to wonder whether this was the right decision.
"Sir. We are receiving a sub space transmission from Enabran Tain." A young recruit informed his captain, before leaving Rhaegar alone in the room. The transmission came on the screen, and a humanoid man, with grey skin, some scales around his face and neck and black - combed back hair greeted him with an unaffectionate smile.
"Rhaegar! Are the preparations in place for you to wed your daughter to my protégé?" Tain exclaimed.
"I have... But she is not at all happy." He spoke in a stoical manor. "Are you sure this is necessary?"
"Must I convince you every time we talk? If this union does not happen, we will have no proof that we are allies. You must understand that many of my people do not trust humans, because of your Federation. But with this alliance, we will greatly be able to benefit each other, both on the battlefield, and in future hardships to come." Tain explained.
"That is very true Mr Tain. I thank you for being so understanding, and look forward to finally seeing you in person at the wedding. Rhaegar out." He sighed... This was going to be a long day.
Rhaegar exited his study, and went to check on his daughter. He peered through her door and saw that all of her things were packed and ready to go. He would so desperately miss her. Despite how much she did not want to marry this man, she would do it anyway, because he asked her to. She always was a good girl...
