It's been a week after Sam was recaptured and Cten was sent away and Hunter finally rewarded Sam for her good behavior and was allowed out of her cell. Sam wandered the halls of the solitary confinement rooms, one large steel door with a small barred window at a time. It was all quiet until she heard a girl screaming in either a different language or just plain gibberish, but since solitary confinement was for the insane, it was probably gibberish. She walked over to the cell where it was coming from, it was cell 777. She peered in through the small window to find an Irken girl with a straight jacket, muzzle, and a straightjacket. She had a collar around her neck that was attached to a three foot long chain and was attached to the wall in the far corner. Her cell was darker than the others, and it smelled worse. Something that the girl screamed had caught Sam's attention. Of course, for the girl it was nothing new to scream, she had been screaming it for 13 years, but did it do any good? No, of course not. Sam's eyes widened as the girl screamed, "AAAGH!!! HUNTER!!! SAM!!! I'VE BEEN EATING MOTHS AND RATS FOR 13 YEARS!!! COME GET ME OUT ALREADY!!!"
Sam froze when she heard her name, "How…do you know my name?" she asked, rather politely. Which was surprising because of how shocked she was that this girl knew her name. Perhaps was it another Sam that she knew? No, Sam was not a common Irken name, especially not for girls. Samanthia was even more rare of a name, so at least the girl hadn't screamed that.
Though the girl had heard her question, it went unacknowledged. Though the sound of another living being's voice that wasn't talking to itself had caused her to go completely berserk, "AAAGH!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!" She began to struggle in her straightjacket, twisting her body as the collar dug into her neck.
Sam tried to stay calm, "Who are you?" She asked, raising her voice to be heard over the girl's struggles but not quiet yelling because she didn't want to piss the girl off.
The girl continued to struggle, but managed to grunt out, "SADIKI!!! I'M SADIKI!!!" It seemed the collar was choking her, but she seemed to have it under control.
"I don't seem to know you…" Sam said, her voice trailing off so she could think, then she suddenly snapped back to reality and then politely continued, "so hi."
The girl froze and looked at Sam, who looked down to avoid eye contact, but soon looked up at Sadiki's neon green eyes that seemed to cut almost straight through her. "That voice…that politeness…SAMANTHIA!?" She seemed overjoyed to speak that full name again, almost as if Sam was a long-lost sister who she thought was dead.
Sam got a confused look on her face and a sick feeling in her squeedly-spooch. "..yeeaah…?"
Sadiki's voice seemed to be less…screamy then. She seemed almost normal, other than the fact that her voice was scratchier than nails on a chalkboard. "Samanthia! It's me, Sadiki! I'm you sister, damn it!"
Sam stepped away from the door, slowly, step by step. "Impossible," she paused to think, "I don't have a sister."
"Just ask Hunter," Sadiki said simply, though she had a feeling Hunter didn't want Sam to know. "I am your sister! Now do me a favor and let me out of here!" She stood up and tried to move toward the door, but her chain was to short, she barely made it a step before the chain caught and she couldn't go any farther.
Sam was now scared, this strange insane girl was saying she was her sister and she's locked up this tight, she mustn't be safe. She turned around, "I'll ask Hunter first…" She said quietly, of course the whole solitary confinement area was so quiet because everyone was listening to them, they're the best source of entertainment since the moth and a piece of dust. So obviously, Sam was easily heard despite the low volume of her voice. She turned around and slowly walked out of that area, away from Sadiki. She just tried to block out the echoing sounds of her insane "sister" screaming.
Sam knocked on the door then was allowed into Hunter's office. "Who's Sadiki?" She asked, instead of the usual hello which shocked Hunter, but he was good at hiding his emotions so he stayed calm and let Sam finish. "She said she's my sister…"
Hunter sighed and stood up, walking over to Sam and looking her in the eye, studying her for a moment to see how upset she was over this, then thought carefully about his words. "…Don't listen to her, that's the reason she's in there…" The room grew silent and they heard Sadiki's screaming again, as if proving that what Hunter was about to say was right. "She's insane."
Sam sighed and they quieted to listen again and heard Sadiki freaking out again, "DAMN IT YOU FUCKING MOTH!!! GET ME THE HELL OUT OF THIS FUCKING PLACE!!!"
Ki cleared her throat to get their attention "But, Master Hunter sir, I thought you told me she was your sister and that is why you have not killed her yet…"
Hunter glared at her, his anger burning through his eyes, "Did I tell you to speak?" He asked, his voice seeming on the edge of calmness.
Ki suddenly realized her mistake and spoke quickly, "No, Sir! Sorry, Sir!"
Hunter nodded to signal his approval, "You better be. Now tell Samanthia you were lying.
Ki bowed to Hunter then to Sam, "I was lying and I apologize for lying…" She looked over at Hunter, who wasn't paying very close attention, then she looked back up to Sam and mouthed 'Master Hunter's lying'.
Sadiki shrieked then let out a sob, just as she did every Tuesday when Hunter walked through the halls of section 49, Solitary Confinement. He always did to ensure that everything was as expected. "HUNTER, PLEASE!!! I JUST WANT OUT!!!" She cried.
Hunter stopped by her door, which was unusual, as he usually just walked by and ignored her, but now he has stopped. "No," he said, his voice firm as the walls surrounding them, "not ever. I won't let you hurt Samanthia again."
She took in a deep, jagged breath, "I won't hurt her, I won't even try!" She cried, she sounded so innocent and sincere, "YOU KNOW SHE'S MY SISTER TOO!!! YOU KNOW I LOVE HER TOO!!!" Hunter didn't respond so she broke down in tears. "P-PLEASE!!!" She cried, the tears running over the strap of her muzzle.
Hunter opened the door, "…fine, I'll give you one more chance, but if you hurt her in any way, you go right back in."
"Th-Thank you…" Unfortunately, Hunter couldn't see the evil smirk hidden behind the muzzle, tears, and innocence as he took off her chains.
He smirked, "How long has it been since you've had food?"
"Twelve years, jackass." She spat at him, then asked jokingly, "Can I eat one of the other prisoners?"
"No."
"So," Sadiki asked as she shoved some meat into her mouth, "what all did I miss in the last twelve years I was locked up in that hell hole?"
"Well, I killed most of the Irken and Vortains…" He explained coolly, sitting across the table from her. "…and the humans are dying too."
"Wow…and I don't even get a souvenir from the destruction of half the Universe…"
"You should've been good."
"I was three when you locked me up."
They stood outside the door to Sam's room where Cten and Sam were. "Stay out here for a second," Hunter ordered Sadiki as he walked in and left her waiting. "Sam," he announced, "you sister is coming in. Cten watch her closely, I don't trust her." Cten and Sam nodded as Cten and Hunter stood in each corner, then Hunter ordered firmly, "Sadiki, come in."
Sadiki slinked in and circled her sister, getting a good look at her, "Hello Sam…" She hissed, and looked into Sam's eyes.
"H-Hi Sadiki…" Sam's voice shook a little, those neon green eyes still gave her the creeps, it was as if they were staring straight into her soul.
"How's the last twelve years been?" she asked, almost casually.
"I left a while after you were locked up," Sam said, still uneasy about being this near a person who should be in a straightjacket and locked up, "and I went to Earth…"
Sadiki walked behind Sam and wrapped her arms around her shoulders, pulling Sam into what seemed like a hug and rested her chin on her shoulder, "And how was Earth?" she asked, ignoring Sam's warning glare.
"I like it here…" Sam whispered.
Sadiki grinned, showing her pointed canine teeth, "…how did they taste…?"
"What do you mean?" Sam asked, worried that she knew exactly what she meant, "I didn't eat anyone…they're my friends…"
Sadiki seemed to be shocked, though it was obviously faked, "Friends? You mean, you didn't eat an Earth creature?"
"Of course not!" Sam replied, horrified at the thought of eating her friends.
A steel blade formed on the outside edge of Sadiki's right forearm as she held it to Sam's neck, "I'm finally gonna get you…" Cten ran toward Sadiki, ready to attack, but Sadiki pulled out a gun with her other hand and shot Cten with a tranquilizer dart full of rattlesnake venom, causing her to collapse in paralysis.
Sam screamed in horror, "Cten! Sadiki, what are you doing!?"
Hunter started to step toward them. "SAM!" he cried out but then realized that trying to fight Sadiki would do no good because he'd end up like Cten. "Sadiki," he said firmly, "I warned you…"
"Yes, you did…" Sadiki smirked and then pushed her arm with the poison tipped blade tighter against Sam's neck just enough to draw a bit of blood, her smirk then turned into a grin as she quickly slid the blade through Sam's throat. The poison keeps Sam from coming back to life like she usually did, though the antidote was something only Sadiki knows. "…And what're ya gonna do about it, huh!?" She screamed at Hunter, laughing as Sam's blood washed over her arm like a waterfall.
