Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda
"Madison"
Chapter 6



He talks about keeping me safe, this place is the safest place I've ever been. I'm safe. Here. Now. I'm happy, so why does he want me to leave? The world around me is so strange to me, all this technology that pretty much takes care of everything on the ship. These surroundings are so wonderful and I never want to leave, please let him reconsider. I love Rommie and Harper, they seem like parents though I don't remember having any. Parents love you or so I have been told and Rommie and Harper love me. Why do the others go along with what that man says? Is he the leader? Or is he just loved by the others very much? It is very confusing.

I stand here watching those Rommie and Harper call friends trapped behind a shield of energy. The man and a woman like me, human. The other woman looks younger than the human, she is purple and has a tail, definately not human. I don't know what they call purple people with tails, but she seems nice. Another one looks human, but he has spikes on his arms next to his wrists, three on each arm. The last one is furry, he reminds me of the monsters I was warned of when I worked in the mines.

I'm only five, and my life is so confusing! I have no parents or any relatives that I know of. I feel like I'm lost! I feel like I need to yell "help me!" so that someone will know that I do know what's going on, well at least somewhat of what's happening. Maybe I should scream? No, that would be too childish. Maybe I should just disapear? No, I couldn't there's too many people to see me.

Madison moved alittle to the left, and then stopped and looked down at her shoes for a few minutes. She looked up, no one had noticed. She smiled alittle, and then moved again, but this time she sat down. She waited there for a few minutes until she moved again, but this time she caught Dylan's attention. Madison saw that he had caught onto what she was doing, but hadn't said anything. Why did he remain silent? Madison sat down and began to think about what she needed to do.
