Sien'linn with sat with her back against one of the cargo hold bulkheads. She tried to block out the voices of the other girls sobs. She tried thinking of some escape plan, but that turned out to be a useless mistake for she had no idea where she was going to end up anyway. So she sat there shackled hands around her legs.
Her head came up with when she heard footsteps coming towards them. She knew it wasn't time to change the guards since there was only one set. Sien'linn stood, most of the girls quieted their sobs when they heard the chains rattle. She tried shushing the girls with the shacking of her braintails but they could all hear the footsteps now. One young girl, probably the youngest of them, started to wail uncontrollably. The girls closest to her tried to comfort her but it was no use. The fear inside finally took control of her emotions.
Linn moved as far away from the others as her chains would let her. The door to their prison opened and in walked a human male. He was some what tall, when he stepped into the light she saw a black mop of fur on the top of his lekku less head with fur outlining his jaw line. She felt disgusted by his presence, somehow she knew he was behind their capture. Sien'linn would have lunged at him if the chains permitted her but the door was too far away.
He walked towards the group, eyeing each of them like they were a piece of meat. He came to the group around the youngest, they all coward in fear from him and moved away from the young girl. The human circled her with a smirk on his face, he moved towards her when the wall comlink beeped.
"Jeft get back up here." The voice demanded, then the comlink clicked off.
The human named Jeft looked enraged at the wall then left threw the opened door.
Jeft walked quickly to the cockpit. He was fuming at his 'little' brother for disturbing him. "He'd better have a good reason for calling me back to him." He reached the closed hatch slapping the release and stepped through the opening.
Jart turned at the sound of the opened door to face his brother. "It's about time you got up here." he said getting out of the chair. "I fig..." he wasn't able to finish. Some how the ship was pulled out of lightspeed. Jart picked himself off the floor to look out the view port. What he saw took his breath away, out there among the starfield sat an Imperial Star Destroyer. Off to its port side was the reason they were no longer in hyperspace, there sat an Interdictor cruiser with its four gavitic cones powered to full. There was no escape for them now.
The Star Destroyer opened fire on the 'Guardian.' Helping Jeft up from the floor he hit the speaker on the main console. All hands to your stations. We are under attack." He yelled into the comlink. Jeft moved to the copilots seat and started flipping switches to give the shields more power.
Soon their own turbo lasers were charged up and started firing on the two capitol ships. Jarts mind was racing with maneuvers on how to get out of this mess.
The dark furred human had left and the girls lekku had stopped twitching in nervousness and fear. The tension in the hold was still there though not as thick, the girls were still crying of course. All at once they were thrown to the decking. Alarm klaxons started to blare from the overhead speakers. Linn picked herself up as best she could, helping the others was a little more difficult, they were scared to immobility.
The comlink came to life with the same voice that called the human before, now called for everyone aboard to stations. Someone was attacking the ship. Another burst rocked the ship and sent to girls sprawling to the deck once again. Sien'linn stayed where she was. One girl was able to pick herself up when another jolt hit, only this one sent her tumbling into a bulk head. She crumpled to the floor not moving. The jolting and rocking continued and the girls realized it was safer for them to stay where they were.
To Sien'linn the time passed slowly till they could feel the ship moving away from the attackers. They had only been moving for a few moments when the lights in the hold went out, not long after that the engines died. All they could do now was wait.
