They were dispersed after dinner, told to greet the people they would spend the next four months with and report at oh-six-hundred under the flagpole for that days orders. Regardless of the fact that her roommate was full-blown insane bitch, Andy was overly excited to sleep.
Dragging her feet, she rubbed a hand over her eyes as she shifted the bag to her other hand, pushing open the door and stepping in. Room 415, exactly where she was told she would be staying. It was a barren room, two beds on opposite ends of the walls, a small dresser built into the wall and bookshelves. A lamp for both, and that was the extent of their room. She had already been told where the washrooms were, but seeing as it was already so late into the evening, she set against it.
Her bag landed with a heavy thud on the wooden floor, back popping as she stretched to the sky. Funny, she thought Kaliena would have gotten here by now.
A hard force slammed into her back, and both of them went tumbling to the floor, Andy's head hitting the wood with a thud. She was pushed onto her stomach, someone sitting there and pinning her hands above her, fingernails digging into the skin and bruising her. Crying out, she felt one hand release and grab her by the hair; bringing her up a little and slamming her head back down so she would hush.
Stars filled her eyes, and she blinked rapidly to clear her vision in the dark room, extremely disoriented. "Filthy human," a female voice sneered. Cold, icy blue eyes came into focus, and Andy felt unnatural heat rise off of her. "How dare they pair me with one as weak as you. You can't even stand up for yourself."
Kaliena spit next to her face, a sign of total disrespect and disgust in most cultures. Andy flinched as she felt it halfway land on her face, hating how small she felt. This girl was crazy, and that was easy to see. "I will break you. I will make you rue the day you thought it would be a good idea joining Starfleet. I will make you scream, cry, and bleed until there is no more of you left." She growled, heat now scarily radiating off of her. Andy yelped as she felt burns start to form on her arms, pain radiating through her.
"Quiet!" She growled again, taking one of her hands and gripping it around Andy's throat. "You have the name of a princess, but you are nothing suited for the role. You will burn in the ashes of your life, and I will laugh and dance once it is done."
Andy felt her eyes roll back into her head, gasping for breath as this woman choked her, oblivious to the consequences. The weight lifted off her chest, and her neck was released, and Andy's eyes snapped open as she took a gulping breath, rolling over to her stomach as she coughed, pushing herself up on her elbows only to be kicked in the abdomen by Kaliena.
Her entire body shook, and she struggled to get air into her lungs as she lay on the ground, the feeling of being utterly pathetic running through her. The door opened, and light flooded in as Kaliena stepped out, and Andy was alone once more.
As her body wore itself down, arms weak and legs aching, Andy couldn't get one thing out of her mind. How the hell was she supposed to survive this?
