But in a burst of speed it launched towards Spock. Lexi appeared in front of him, and the monster just got closer.


Whisperkeep shot one last arrow before putting away her bow. The sword she had before reappeared as she said Sariel.

A trigger word Spock thought.

She swung at the beast, barely pausing between strikes. Soon Nightsong joined the fray. The conscious crew members watched in wonder as the two worked in complete harmony to kill the monster.

Seeing its death was imminent, the monster went towards the captain, whose phaser was all the way over the other side of the room.

Nightsong slid across the floor, getting in front of the captain. Stabbing the demon in the face, but not before the beast had slashed across his stomach. Spock heard a gasp as another arrow was released, finishing what the boy had started.


Lexi ran to Kian, her only thought- saving him. The Enterprise could do nothing to help. The remaining members of the crew had flooded him, trying to stop the bleeding.

As Lexi neared, Spock came out of nowhere and wrestles her to the ground.

Wow, he's strong she thought

"Let me save him! I'll tell you everything!" She shouted.

"Why should I believe you?" growled the Vulcan.

"I give you my word,"

Spock nodded and let her up, she rushed to Kian's side. After making the crew back off she drew runes on his skin, watching his wound close painfully slowly.

"Angel help me, if you die, I'll bring you back so I can kill you myself," She said.

Faintly Kian began to stir.


Kian heard voices, so far away, and pain. He was dying, that much he knew. No one could save him.

One of the voices grew louder, clear as glass.

"Angel help me, if you die, I'll bring you back so I can kill you myself."

Then something changed. The pain lessened, voices became louder. Kian began to fight.

His eyes flickered open to see Lexi staring down at him, Kian groaned.

"Kian!" she smiled wider than he had ever seen before., then her expression turned dark. "Do that to me again, dying will be the least of your problems."

"I don't doubt it Lex," he responded.


Sorry it's short, but this is the right place to stop. Please review, you know you want to.
