I coughed some as I opened my eyes. Tree's and a blue sky greeted me, along with grass/dirt under me and the sound of birds and bugs all around. I turned over, grunting, feeling the pains and aches the torture gave me. I had my arms holding me up, a foot from the ground, relishing the fresh air and freedom. Then I shot my head up, on alert.
"Spock!" I called out, remembering him saving me…. Again. I got up, hissing as I felt a gash on my shoulder become bigger, letting more green blood out. I rolled my eyes and spun around, exhaling when I found him, propped against a tree, head lolled to the side of his shoulder. He had a green bruise on his head, making me sigh some. I ripped my pants at the bottom, tying it awkwardly to my shoulder, walking over to him and sitting down, just looking at him. His head was on the other shoulder, so I could see his long neck and muscles working. His uniform was ripped in some places, showing muscle and blood. His chest moved at a nice pace, fast for humans, but normal for Vulcan's. I reached over and grabbed his ear gently, examining it.
"I find this highly irritating." He mumbled, making me smile brightly.
"Aww, you remember!" I said as he picked his head up, sitting up properly and looking down at me with a small smile.
"It is hard to forget that day. I swam 201.65 feet into the cold lake to get the book. I must say, the library was most unhappy at the state of it." I shrugged, leaning against a tree next to him, our arms touching.
"Taught you a lesson though. That's what counts." He smiled once more, making my body go warm. He just moved his arm over, grabbing my hand and entwining our fingers, pressing our palms together.
"Ashau Th' du." He said in Vulcan, making me look up at him with wide eyes. He leaned his head down, but a crash made us both look. "Come on, let's find shelter." We got up and he held onto my hand as he lead the way into a forest.
"Why are we here?"
"We made it to this planet, and now must wait for Kirk to get the federation and rescue us." I sighed.
"That means we're going to be here for awhile." He smirked some, but continued forward.
"There, we shall take shelter in that cave." He said, and we did a quick jog to it, him staying by the entrance and looking out as I kept walking further in, bored. As I was about to say something, I fell through some trap hole, landing on my feet, but when I heard a crack, I fell right over, closing my eyes tightly. "Alex!" Spock yelled, running over, stopping at the hole. I opened my eyes to see I had to be a good 18 feet down. "Alex, are you hurt?" He asked, voice strained as emotions swam through him.
"I- I think my leg is broken." I hissed out, and he straightened up. "Spock don-" He jumped down, landing on his feet, not even making a sound. He stood back at his full, walking over to me. "I hate Vulcans." He merely smirked, crouching down in front of me and holding onto my leg very gently.
"You were correct on you assumption. Your leg is, indeed, broken." I rolled my eyes as he set it down, making me wince. There was some footfalls above us and we tensed, not making a sound as we stared at each other. With a quick analyses, Spock swooped his arms under me and stood, carrying me bridal style. "Spo-" He did a quick 'Shh', putting his back to the wall, looking up. We heard Romulan and Arkitian shouts, then a laser blast shot a hole opposite of us. Spock did a double cheek and did a mad dash into the hole, stopping in the cold and dark. "Spock.. This hole is… A tunnel." I said as I looked down to see a small faint light.
"Something dose not feel right." He murmured as he walked down the tunnel. At the end, we reached a round room, a bright light showing nothing but walls of dirt. He set me down by the wall, standing and walking around, feeling for another opening. As he was on the opposite side of the opening we came through, there was a loud rumble. I was able to roll away before the odd avalanche of rocks crashed onto me. I looked in time to see the last couple of rocks close up the opening, leaving Spock and I trapped. I sat up, leaning against the dirt wall, laughing some as Spock walked over. "I do not see what is humorous in such events." I sighed some as he sat next to me.
"It's just this is always my luck. I'm just sorry you have to suffer such bullshit with me." He grabbed my chin gently, making me look into his brown depths.
"I suffered when you were captured. I suffer when you are away form me. I suffer when you deny what you feel. I am incapable of suffer when you are by my side." I looked down and he let me go, my heart throbbing.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not.. Good with the whole attachment thing." I looked back up at him to see him analyzing me. "I've… never had someone love me and I them." His eyes got a light in them and I couldn't help but smile. I reached my arm around and put it around his neck, bringing him down to my level, our foreheads touching. "I.. I love you too, Spock." I felt his body tense and his breath intake. Before anything else could occur, he was taken from me, leaving me alone in the dirt room, confused and panicked. As I tried to get up, my leg refused to stand and pain racked through me, so I had to slump back against the wall, looking around. "SPOCK!" But there was nothing to call back. Hours passed as my brain became strained and my heart grew weak from the pumping erratically. My vision became blurred as my body grew weak. The last thing I saw as I fell to the ground was something red.
I groaned as I woke up, feeling groggy. "There she is. Come on now." I heard Kirk say as I was helped to sit up. I held onto my head as I blinked, looking around.
"Where.. Spock! Where-"
"I am content Commander." I shot my head over to find Spock holding a cold compressant to the left side of his forehead. I sighed, then looked at Kirk. "What… What the hell happened? Did you get us out of the dirt room?" Kirk looked at me as if I were crazy.
"Uhh, you hit your head kinda hard, you should lie down." I blinked some, looking at Spock, who looked back at me with the same confusion in his eyes.
"Didn't… Didn't you find us underground?" he shook his head. "The giant 10 foot hole?" another shake. My brows came together as I looked down. I moved my once broken leg to find was fine. "What the fuck is going on.." Spock stood and walked over, crouching down next to me.
"Have you come to the same conclusion as I?" I stared at him.
"Was it a joined dream? Our bond?" He looked at Kirk, then back to me. I do not believe so. Did you see the red hair when you were pulled away?" I stared at him.
"Me? You're the one that got pulled into the wall and left me alone for hours!" his how pointed brows came together.
"In my version, you were the one taken from me. I was…" His eyes darted to Kirk, then to me and I only smiled. "Concerned of your whereabouts. But the red head. Before I pass out, I saw someone with a red head." I thought back to the odd dream.
"Yeah. Yeah I saw something re-"
"Got 'er over 'er capt'n!" Scotty said, making Spock stand at full in front of me and Kirk look over bored.
"I knew the computers weren't messing up. Alright Scotty! Keep it steady!" As Kirk stood I went too, but Spock was there at my side, helping me. As Kirk walked over to the group beyond a small hill, Spock twined our hands, hugging me with his free arm.
"Alex…" He kissed my forehead, making me shiver. A very odd and not used Vulcan 'romance' technique. It was weird, 'cause it meant he really enjoys my mind/my way of thinking. A very Vulcan trait. "I am most pleased that you are not harmed." I used my own free hand to put it at the back of his neck, bringing his lips to my own. I pressed my body into his, our mouths moving in sync. As we got further into the kiss, I rubbed my thumb nails around the inside of his palm, making him shiver and push against me harder. I smirked into the kiss, knowing how sensitive his hands are.
"Spock! Alex! Come on!" Kirk called, making Spock growl. With my hand on his bare neck, our empathy was even stronger. Anger flared as he became protective. My heart swelled as I felt love pool into my veins, his hold on my hand and waist tightened. I broke the kiss, nuzzling my forehead to his, inhaling his unique scent.
"Let's go… We can continue this later." he leaned down, tilting his head as he gave me a slow kiss.
"Yes. I will make sure of it." I smiled at his sudden courage and out forwardness. As he let go of my waist and started walking off, his hand never left mine.
"uhh, Spock?" I said as he began pulling me. He didn't look as he continued holding my hand and walking up the small hill.
"If I am correct, you promised." I opened my mouth and shut it, swallowing. He barley looked back at me, a small smirk on his beautiful face. I sighed some, walking next to him as he squeezed my hand some for reassurance. As we reached the top, we saw the enterprise, people stand and talking. We walked over to the side to find Kirk, Sulu, McCoy, and Scotty standing around some kid with red hair. As we came up, McCoy was the first to look up, but froze.
"Dear God." he took a swig of whatever he had in his jug, whilst everyone looked over at us, then down.
"Yes! Pay up now!" Kirk said holding his hand out to Sulu. He sighed, pulling out his wallet as Scotty just shook his head.
"Why dose he ge' all the good lookin' ones, eh?" He grumbled as Kirk smiled brightly.
"Green blooded hob goblins'." McCoy muttered, only me and Spock hearing it.
"Who is this?" Spock said, cutting to the chase as he pulled me closer to him. We all looked down at the red haired girl, shining green eyes, pouting.
"This is Alex. And I believe she is the cause of your dreams." Kirk said, and I tilted my head. "Go ahead." Kirk nudged the girl with his knees. With a sigh she looked up at us.
"I'm sorry. You guys had such powerful brainwaves, I couldn't help but play." I smirked some, letting go of Spock's hand, making him tense up as I crouched down in front of the girl. I could feel him moved slighting, standing behind me protectively.
"Hello Alex. My name is Alex as well." She smiled some.
"I needed to show you that you can't hide." My brows came together. "You and the half Vulcan. Your bond is strong enough to where I can sense it. I needed to show you that you don't need to hide." She leaned up some. "He loves you and is cute. A keeper for sure." I laughed as I could feel through our bond Spock's amusement. I stood and looked at Kirk.
"Don't worry, I already called Starfleet and they said yes." I smirked and the girl stood. "Let's find you a room." Kirk said as they walked away. Scotty just shrugged and walked away with McCoy looked at us, took another large glug and muttering, walking away. Spock held me from behind, nuzzling his head into my neck. I shivered as his breath fanned out over my sensitive skin.
"Spock…" I whispered, making hi hold me to him tighter.
"Stay with me tonight." He whispered, making me inhaled as I put my head back, using his shoulder as a pillow.
"Only since you asked so nicely."
