I awoke to the sounds of the ships alarm, the room was bathe in the red alarm light.

i knew i might not live another cycle. that's when the guards stormed in,

"your highness, your highness, Quickly we must evacuate the ship!!"

i claimed off my bed and stood,not facing them although i am used to sleeping in the nude. still it had quite a impact on the men that stood before me.

they both turned to look upon my body and knew why i was there princess. yes i was there Salusian Princess also there last hope for children. Non of the crew on Bord could have children, not by law but because of the disease that plagued our planet.

it came with the asteroid shower and turned our happy little planet into a fiery hell of mutated monsters and death. it also calmed my fathers life with my escape on this ship The Tomb Ishi, that was nearly a month ago. The soldiers were afraid to approach me while was in the nude, i could walk the entire length of the ship and nobody would dare say thing, either out of fear that i would castrate them on the spot or out of respect. The only one who wasn't terrified to the bone of my power was isi my other world Friend and Nana, the poor man always dressed in that horrible looking metallic suit, its thick brown body glove with grey metal sticking out everywere. With me aways pressing him to do my bidding, i knew just how dangerous he is but to me he's harmless.

IF i had known what was to happen i would have never been so mean to him.

the soldier grabbed me by the arm and i turned to look at him, i could see the fear building in him, although they aways surprise me once in a while, this was one of those times

"oh dame it to hell if you kill me princess, i have orders to bring you to the bridge come hell or high water" said the soldier. This made me realize the reality of what was happening,no person was to put there hands on me, no one and this soldier a lowly infantry man was pitiful trying to drag me out of my room. I grabbed the curtain that hung around my bed post trying to show i wasn't going, until i saw the new shape of the disease started sprouting form the vent that hung over my bed. I actually jumped so badly i ripped the curtains off my bed post and with a scream i let the soldier drag me from my room.

i should have just gone with him in the first place, the second soldier that was in the room didn't make it out again, the sprouting had grown a tentacle and it shot out at the poor soldier and ran him through only seconds after i left the door way. I turned only to see him stagger, reach up to his chest and disappear into the darkened room. My eyes widened see one of my few men dragged into the darkness, i turned my eyes away and let the remaining soldier lead me into the main hall shedding only a tear for the one who i got killed.

Running down the hall i could see the adjoining halls and soldiers all running trying to fight back against the oncoming horrors, some leading stray groups of salusians from place to place trying to stay alive. i took the curtain that i still had in hand and wrapped it around me to make a makeshift dress. It was when the ship jerked to one side causing everything to fall, i saw the emergency shutters starting to drop, i had landed under one as it started to drop i turned and saw a few crew members and guards running to me, i reached out to them only to feel something wrap around my ankle and drag me out from under the emergency shutter.

I looked to my horror i saw a bigger tentacle with a yellow orb attached to it, it was as big as i if not bigger and it had wrapped its self around my ankle and was gonna drag me into the hole which it had come out of. i had no weapon to defend myself and all i could do was watch as it would eventually drag me into the hole on the ceiling. i desperately grabbed at the dead or unconscious soldiers around me, that's when it hit me on just how Manny of my fellow salusians were being killed or mutilated.

I don't know what it was either the fear or sorrow but i caved,i started screaming and crying, i started kicking at the tentacle even when it had me lifted into the air and was just about to drag me in. I put one foot one the ceiling and wile trying to keep myself from being dragged in when a shot flew by my head and i drooped to the floor hard. I looked up at who saved me with my tear ridden face only to see Marquez the caption of the guard. I was so happy to see such a strong man even if he was looming over me, his men were checking the downed salusians around me, Marquez said to me "prinseys izi haz ordored meh to escourt ya to theh bridgez"

he took my hand and we stopped only to override a few emergency doors to free many trapped salusians who followed us to the bridge.

i was so distraught i didn't even realize we had made it to the bridge until Marquez spoke

"anie ordors prinseys lik hep anie trapped salusians?"

i turned to him and said

"yes find and help all you can Marquez."

He smiled at me and shouted to his men

"ie hard theh prinseys find and savs em all"

i didn't know if id ever see him again. i ran up to the main bridge and saw isi i was so happy to see this man if i hadn't been crying all the way up here i would cry even harder. I took one step toward him and had a huge mass of the disease slam down in front of me knocking me on my ass, i was too afraid to move as it stood hovering over me i didn't know what to do lucky i didn't have to do anything isi struck it from behind knocking it over me and it onto the main floor were some guards were waiting for it.

I turned to look at isi and he looked at me that's when all hell broke loose, explosions tore though the ship rocking it, isi grabbed me and led me to an my Private escape pod in the middle of the bridge he stuffed me into it and i couldn't hold back anymore

"wait isi, stop please, don't make me go" i cried like a little girl not wanting to leave

but he pushed me back into the small, cramped, little escape pod. I fought him but he was stronger he shut the glass as the fight intensified behind him he put his blood stained glove on the glass and triggered the launch. I hated him so much for making me go with out him, i pounded on the glass trying to shatter it only to realize it wasn't, it was reinforced against my strength. I looked at isi one last time and i could see his eyes though his visor, one had blood running along side it.

I could finally cry again and i let it out in full blast the pod dropped slowly into the chute and hummed as it descended into darkness, i could feel the cold cryostasis gel starting to pump into the pod. i took the deep breaths as taught and felt the gel envelope my face and i fell into sleep again.

as we watch from further away, the ship launches all its life pods and the Tomb ishi sends one from its bow. Fleeing toward the planet earth.
