For three weeks we spend our time in the capitol. Walking around, talking to people. T'Pring was finally a bit settled so she took some private time to stroll about. She found this all quite fascinating.
"Mother?" I looked at Soryana who was walking beside me when we were in search of some food. "Yes?"
"When do we go home?" Good question. "Not yet, we first have to take care of certain things."
"Like Spock?" "Yes, I advise not to speak his name so hard." She silenced as we crossed a corner. There I saw T'Pring. She was talking to some lady. I do believe the same as the first day.
"Ah, your daughter, Milady.and her daughter. I do believe that the search went well?" "Indeed it did, meet Saavik. Saavik this is lady Trilana." I nodded polite.
"Again a word of advise, leave Romulus fast. If the V'Shar discovers that she has been taken you are in peril." I thought about my extra plan. T'Pring gazed at me with a glance, saying 'She is right, we should go'.
"We shall see." And as I turned a whole horde of Centurions came my way. I pushed Soryana to T'Pring. "They are after me, I served with Kirk, they know my picture. Leave and go to the ship." Quickly T'Pring took Soryana and sprinted off. Soryana tried to pull back but then she would fail. No way that T'Pring would lose from a 10 year old.
"COMMANDER SAAVIK HALT." Okay.my cue to sprint like hell, which.I did. I ran through alleys I never knew, jumped on walls and darted over squares. I tore the most of the robe till it reached my knees. I was not for nothing the sprint champion on the Academy.
At one certain point I stopped. Not to catch my breath, but I was kind of lost.a lot of racket behind me. Don't these guys know when to call it a day?? I darted away again. Suddenly I glanced up. Great.a three meter high wall, a drainpipe.hmm.tough choice.I grabbed the pipe and climbed up, reached the top barely and heard their screams again, lost balance and dropped.
Rubbing my head I noticed that I was stared at.at the last person that should know.Spock.
"Hi." "Greetings Saavikam.what brings you here?" "Same to you.would you be so kind as to help me up?" He did. I glanced at a few spectators in the street. With a motion of probably the leader they all spread out.
"Well Saavik?" I rubbed my clothes as from behind the wall muttering was heard and a sound of climbing.
"Not now, how is your condition?" "Still adequate." "Good, well done.suggestion? RUN.." I grabbed his arm as I mingled in the crowd. Spock did not try to stop me but tagged along. In a dark alley we stopped.
"There.phew.persistent people those centurions...shish." He looked me over.
"Centurions.what kind of problems are you in?" "Oh.nothing special, I only fetched my little daughter back.which you promised to do so, and didn't, then they discovered who I was and then I bailed." He nodded.
"And?" "And what."
"Is there more?" "Should there be?"
"In your case.yes." "Well two minor things."
"Which are?" "."
"Saavik?" "Don't rush me, T'Pring is here and I found my daughter.she took her when they came." His eyes widened. "T'Pring? Why did you bring her." "No idea.let's go.perhaps because she is a good babysitter." He held my upper arm.
"Tell me." "I wanted to make sure.ah never mind. I'll go back home.live long Spock." And neck-pinched him.sometimes he talks too much and my body was working on adrenaline. I even draped him down very carefully. I was a good pupil, but he always forgot his guard around me, and his neck that is.second time I did this.Last time it was with the Pandora boxes.He had turned old.He should retire, him? Retire? In a pigs eye.
I walked out and tapped the communicator.
"T'Pring? Saavik here." -Ah, you managed to elope?-
"I did, ran into Spock. Any suggestions?" -Return home for the sake of Soryana and then plan again.- I sighed.
"Agreed, I shall come shortly." -I shall prepare for departure.- And silence. Great.
Well, that plan did not quit work as planned.
"T'Pring.company." I hid behind a wall as the port was filled with centurions. "Think they knew we were coming?"
"Obviously, your escape plan went sour. We are stuck here." "Quit an observation. Soryana go with T'Pring and listen to her. I'll try to find a way out."
"But mother.." "Go, I lost you once, that shall not happen again, I have a communicator. T'Pring, can you fly the shuttle as I taught you? She nodded.
"Good, leave and go home. I have no idea what they are planning."
"Be well Saavik, and may logic guide you, we shall await your call." I kindly nodded and saw them walk away after saying goodbye to my little daughter. They easily went through customs and beamed up to the ship.
Okay, now think. Here you are, found Spock.and made yourself the most wanted. Could be worse.
Curled up on a flat roof I looked down. Still dressed in my torn outfit. Below, centurion still kept watch. Were they never tired??? I jumped off and ran in the dark city. Bad move on my side though.
"HALT." Oh dear. I looked behind me and there were 5 centurions armed and ready to shoot. I turned forward and the same sight greeted me. I was caught all right.damn..
I was shackled and tossed in a kind of prison. Nice.dry bread was tossed in. The bars before the windows far to thick to give way. Add to that the window was too small. The door was solid oak, no escape there. On the ground hay. Ah well, good thing I did not have hay fever right?
I had a good night sleep, knowing that T'Pring was long over the boarder. My girl was save.so was she.
"Get up." a man's voice growled at me while I still was trying to wake up. Grunting I did. He was one moody Centurion.He dragged me to the front door as I blinked against the light. Ouch..
I was brought in a kind of courtroom. Seats were on my right, before me three desks, and that was it.
I was pushed on my knees as the guy held a knife against my throat, now that was not nice.the room filled with people I never knew except one.Spock.would he help? Perhaps.
"Saavik, you have been accused of espionage, how do you plead." An elderly man.HUH? PARDEK??? "Surprise, not guilty?" the room silenced after a few minutes. "We do have reason to believe that you did, and as you are half Romulan, you will be sentenced accordingly." I raised an eyebrow.
"I never claimed my Romulan heritage, even resent it." "Only will add to your sentence, discrediting the great praetor and espionage will give you Saavik, lifelong imprisonment in the labor camp T'Riannosha. As is said, so will it be done." A hammer fell on the middle table. I was forced up and led out. During that I glanced at Spock who nodded. Help will come huh. Okay.
Well.that certain nod was three days ago, I was now on-route to the camp. Dressed in a shirt/dress thing. White, and my hair loose, they were scared I could kill myself with a hairpin.right.my feet were bare, no shoes. Charming. Ah well, I liked walking barefoot anyway. shackles around my hands and feet, and they bound together again.
So, walking was hard, never thinking of running.A commander was high enough for the V'Shar to please me with a visit. But when they noticed my Vulcan upbringing they decided not to proceed, after a day torture that is.which did not work on me..for one day I stood there naked, before I don't know how many men.perverts..examining my brand on my back, unable to define. What ever.
At the end of my journey I found myself in the camp, greeted by a middle aged man with a nasty smirk. Oh dear.
"So, our 'guest' has decided to join my lovely camp?" I blinked. Hardly guest here.. He poked my arms a bit, well, squeezing.
"Nice muscles, she will do nicely.take her to the main group." I was pushed to a group of Romulans sitting in the center of the complex, my shackles were attached to a huge metallic pole. Like the others by the way. They all looked tired and glanced briefly, then returned to their tiny meal. Some slimy stuff.
"Our new guest, Saavik is her name. Make her streetwise, she'll be here for quite some time." He raised my chin as I glanced straight in his eyes.
"Don't bet on it." That earned me a slap in the face. "Oh but you will.you will." And he walked away.
