D: ……… to early…. No sleep… no own…
Confrontation and Talk of Treasure
"What the?" The blue haired man said as he crawled further away from the girl.
Tai however was frozen in place as he got a first look at her crimson eyes. It was her. The same woman from his dream. She looked at both of them as if they were her prey. Tai took a step forward. Trying to soothe her, he reached out his hand.
"We're not going to hurt you… calm down… you're safe here…" He tried to make her more at ease.
She began to make a sound that almost sounded like a snarl, as he got closer.
This slowed him down. "Come on now… I'm Tai and this is Joe, we're here to help you… right Joe?"
"Um… yeah… what he said. Tai don't piss her off- she'll kill us." Joe said as he continued to shake and crawl towards the door.
With her attention focused on Joe's movements, Tai thought he could jump and pin her down.
But as he left the ground, she reacted without even looking at him.
She spun around and landed a powerful kick to Tai's stomach, sending him flying across the room and into a shelf of supplies.
"Tai are you ok?" Joe asked as he hit the emergency alarm button. Lights and buzzers flashed. The noise caused her ears to throb. She clasped her hands over her ears at the foreign sound. Thrashing and screaming as if it pained her.
"Joe… turn it off!" Tai said as he got up. He knew she would hurt herself more at this rate. The lights and noises died down within seconds after the command.
Tai watched as she sunk to her knees- she was panting. Her breathing was forced and she shook. Tai felt sadness as he watched the pain in her eyes.
She looked up at him. Confusion. Anger. Pain. Sadness. These were only the namable emotions that welled in her endless crimson orbs.
Tears began to fall from them as she fell face forward. Tai caught her before she fell off the bed and onto the floor.
Soon Izzy and the rest of the crew entered the med bay to find it a mess.
"What's the emergency?" Izzy asked.
"It's ok.. No one's going to hurt you." Tai whispered to the unconscious girl that lay in his arms.
"She went psycho all of a sudden." Joe said standing up. "She attached Tai and me… then the sounds of the buzzers sent her off." He explained.
"Tai are you alright?" Kari asked.
"Shhh… I'm fine… don't worry about me." He looked up from the woman in his arms to see his crew.
"She'll be up again soon- should we put her in a safer place? Maybe in a cell or something?" Matt commented.
"No- I will not have her waking up in a prison. She's scared enough." Tai said defensively.
"But where else can we hold her where she won't pose a threat to us or herself?" Izzy questioned.
"Kari and I can clean out a cell and put sheets on the bed to make it more comfortable." Mimi suggested.
"I think that will be the best solution…" TK said.
"Alright- let's do it then." Tai sighed as he picked up the girl and walked with the rest towards the brig area.
Davis watched while they deposited her onto a bed with fresh sheets.
"I see you had your first run in with the girl- I told you to watch out." He laughed.
Tai walked over to Davis, after he had made sure the girl was taken care of.
"Ok- so what do you know about all this? And why does he want her back so bad?"
"Oh so now you're talking to me. Ok… but only if you help me."
"Help you with what?"
"Getting the treasure of course."
"Treasure?" Tai asked.
"Duh! She's the only survivor of a specialized race! The reason the patrols and Gallawano teamed up was to make sure that her people wouldn't use the ultimate power against Earth. The patrol just wanted to destroy all traces of their civilization, but your boss and his corporation wanted to obtain the technology for themselves… thus the need for that unfortunate there." Davis stopped. "So are you in or are you out? Whatever he's paying you think triple at the very least."
"So you really weren't rescuing her were you?" Tai said.
"Well, partly. Some in my group are scientists, so they wanted to release her back into the wild. We planned to do that after I got my money. So make up your mind… or would you rather hand her back over to be experimented on and raped again?"
"Raped?"
"Funny thing with her people is that they mate differently than humans. They can control their reproductive systems. They procreate by command basically. So she'll never get knocked up unless she wants to… it took them a while to figure that out." Davis added.
"You mean they tried to…" Kari began.
"Have her birth more- oh yes. Those sick bastards have tried…"
Tai's stomach felt ill at the thought…He couldn't bring himself to give her back to that…
-
Slowly the black began to lighten. She once more felt the warmth of a clean bed beneath her. She opened her eyes ever so slowly.
She sensed she was being watched. Her vision cleared and she became aware of her surroundings. It was different from the large room before. It was darker here. She shook her head to try to clear her thoughts.
As if trying to return to sleep she sighed and nuzzled her head back into the pillow.
"You're awake." came a voice. She jumped to attention ready to attack or defend herself.
"Calm down- just relax." The strange man told her. She saw it was the man from the other incident. The one with the unusual touch. He was looking at her- staring at her with deep brown eyes.
"Are you hungry?" He asked as he held a bowl of liquid up. He looked again as he stood. As if cautiously anticipating her frightened reaction he made slow movements to deactivate the wall and entered.
Like expected she tensed. He could feel her eyeing his every move.
Tai was a bit scared. He remembered the last time he got on her bad side and didn't feel like being sent flying again.
"It's soup. You drink it." He said as he noticed her confused expression. But that didn't seem to help. "Do you understand me?" He asked. Her eyes were blank, looking from the food to him.
"She won't trust you. She's been drugged too often through her food- she's actually a very intelligent thing…" Davis yelled over to them.
Tai agreed. She definitely wasn't dumb. He went back to the bowl he had placed close to her.
"It's ok see?" He took a drink of the broth. From his pocket, he pulled out a small piece of bread and dipped it in the broth. "It's actually pretty good." He commented as he took a bite to show her that it was safe.
"Now you." He motioned as he held the bowl out to her.
He could tell she was hungry. Her eyes said it all and if they hadn't the sickly state of her body would have.
Tai was actually surprised when he saw her reach out her hand towards the bowl. Her eyes told of the pain and torture. Her trembling hand touched the bowl and quickly took it from Tai. She brought the bowl to her lips. All the while she never let her eyes stray from him.
Soon she slowly began to sip at the soup.
