Reluctantly Away

"Dad! Dad!" the boy kept shouting, clutching the pale body to him. "Dad, please!" The painful transformation the boy's body was undergoing seemed lost in his pleas. A dark hand rested on the boy's shoulder and an unfamiliar smell filled his nose.

"Child, come with me," a woman encouraged. "The hunters will return. You must get away."

"But…" he looked at her, tears streaming from his hazel eyes. He was too young to have even lost his grandparents yet. This was his first close death and all his bravery earlier during the attack dissipated the instant his father was struck by an errant cross bolt. Her hands gripped his shoulders and pulled him upward.

"Leave him," she whispered. "You cannot help him now."

The boy broke from her hold and closed his father's eyes before standing again. "What will happen now?"

"Many things," she said, "and many choices that will be hard, but you must make."

"I'm Jim Kirk," he stated, "not 'child.''"

Her lips turned into a small but welcoming smile. "I am Nyota Uhura. Now," she urged, "follow me."
