Chapter Two: Spice:

Author's Note: Finally back. Thanks for waiting. Here is how Malon entered Starfleet. I do not own anything except Malon and Hayes and the three mysterious security officers. Read and review please.

The crying was the only sound that came from Malon. Guinan was worried but waited it out knowing the only way to get to him was to be patient.

"I'm no good." Malon said after the long silence and a lot of tears.

"No, Malon. He doesn't know what he's talking about." Guinan said kindly.

"Even my own father thought so. That's why I even had to leave Romulus." Malon said.

Guinan looked sad, "Well you seem sweet, kind, and friendly to me."

"Really? You aren't just teasing me?"

"No, Malon."

"Thank you."

"Hey, I was just stating the obvious."

"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm so used to abuse. I thought you were bullying me too. I ran away from home because my father abused me. Mostly physically. I escaped Romulus with the help of some other romulans that wanted romulan-vulcan unification. They had a shuttle. They taught me for months how to fly it and that's how I escaped. I was found by the Federation and adopted by some human parents. I entered Starfleet and was placed on the USS Lexia. I was temporally transfered here and that's why I am here."

"Well, most of my species was assimilated by the borg."

"Oh, well I'm sorry about that."

"I'm sorry about what you had to go through too."

Malon smiled, "Thanks for being such a good friend."

"No problem."

Through his communicator Malon got a message from Picard, "Ensign Malon, you are needed on the bridge."

"On my way." Malon replied and began heading to the turbolift to get to the bridge.

On his way, he was stopped by three security officers.

"What are you doing you little romulan?" One asked.

"I was ordered to the bridge by the captain." Malon answered honestly.

"I'm afraid we can't let you do that."

"Why not?"

"Because we can't let a traitor get away from his crimes."

"What crimes? I was always faithful to the federaion."

"You lier! You just don't have the guts to admit the truth. I can prove it too." One of the security officers said taking out a knife.

"Woah, woah what are you doing?" Malon asked with a touch of fear in his voice.

"What someone should have done a long time ago and you know to protect the federation from some treacherous romulans."

He stepped closer to Malon and Malon backed up against the wall unable to take all three at once. Malon closed his eyes and awaited his fate.
