Sasha~Book 1

Chapter 3~The Rescue

Sasha woke up with the feeling of drowning surrounding her.

"Perfect" she said under her breath.

Her clothes were wet, her leg broken and probably infected by now, and on top of everything else the ditch she was in was filling with water.

* * * "Number one, get your away team ready."

"Yes sir. La Forge, Data, lets go."

Both got up off their chairs and followed commander Riker to transport room two.

"Commander, I must point out that if the klingon ship did land there is most likely much death and disaster."

"Yes Data I know."

Data nodded and looked thoughtful. Then the away team was beamed to Wos.

"Talk about rain." La Forge said, as he was already wet from standing outside the ship for three minutes.

"Commander I am reading faint life signs from the town as well as one from the wooded area."

"Okay. Data you go into the town, La Forge and I will go into the woods.

They nodded and Data went into the town in search of survivors.

"How far away is the life form?" Riker asked

"About ten meters northeast. It is definitely human." La Forge said and they entered the woods.

"What's that?"

"A klingon sir, it is dead."

Riker looked at the blood on the ground and shivered.

"You okay sir?"

"Yeah, just a little shook up." He took a breath and continued his thought "is the life sign still there?"

"Yes, just faintly though. About six more meters."

At that Riker started to quicken his steps toward the place La Forge had said it would be.

"About three more feet commander." La Forge said and slipped.

Riker grabbed onto him before he fell in the ditch.

Sasha was still at the bottom and was too scared to move.

"Hello." Riker said down the ditch." My name is William Riker from the starship Enterprise, are you hurt?"

"Yes."

Sasha's voice was small and weak.

"Don't worry we will come and get you." La Forge said and turned to Riker.

"I'm going to go down and see if I can help her."

"Okay." He said and watched La Forge go into the ditch.

"Everything is going to be alright." He told the girl.

"What is your name?"

"Sasha Demino."

"Okay Sasha I'm going to try and lift this log off your leg ready?"

She nodded her head yes.

He tried with all his strength but the log was too heavy for La Forge to lift.

"Commander. I'm going to need a little help down here."

"On my way."

In a few moments Commander Riker was at the bottom with La Forge and Sasha.

They both tried too move the log, but barely go it to move at all.

"We're going to need Data."

Riker looked back at the girl and realized she was in much worse condition then he thought.

"Commander?"

Riker heard Data's voice and called to him.

"Data we're down here we need your help."

"On my way sir."

Almost immediately Data was down in the ditch as well looking at the situation.

"Okay I will move it, on my mark," he said and looked at Riker then the girl.

"One, two, three mark." And he lifted the log almost effortlessly.

Riker pulled Sasha out of the ditch and then handed her to Data until he got out and on to the top.

Data, even holding Sasha was able to get out as quick as he got in.

"Enterprise this is commander Riker."

"Go ahead number one."

"We have a survivor."

"Survivor?"

"Yes, it looks like the klingons attacked."

"Okay, you four will be transported to sickbay immediately."

"Commander the girl has went into unconsciousness," Data said.

"We will be transported to sickbay."

As soon as he said that the tingling sensation of the transporter encased them and they soon found themselves on the Enterprise.
