Chapter 3

Jagger and the commander kneeled behind a stack of boxes, all supplying food for the commanders. Jagger looked at him. "you never told me your first name." He looked at her. "It's not something I'm supposed to do." Jagger rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah.the rules." He grinned. "Jedidiah." She smiled. "A good Christian name, I see." He became quiet. "Yeah.yours too." Jagger nodded. "Jedidiah means loved by the Lord, right?" "Yeah.come on, we got to get moving." He stood and ran out to hurry across the hall. Jagger raised a brow, wondering if maybe he wasn't religious. She frowned before beginning to stand, but quickly knelt back down as she saw lasers flying. She poked her head around the boxes, her eyes widening as she saw Jedidiah lying on the floor with a small pool of blood forming. Quickly, he motioned with his hand for her to stay put. She nodded and soon heard sickly voices talking to eachother. Jagger narrowed her eyes as she quickly took a small device from her pocket. Turning some knobs, the speech came out in english on a computer screen. Reading it quickly, she then prayed they'd continue walking past them. One of the aliens asked the other. "Why are we here again?" The other answered in an irritated tone. "To get the girl.I've told you gupolies of times." Jagger raised a brow, mouthing the word gupolies in a questioning way. "We made a deal with the drej, if they're ever extinct, we kill the ones who killed them with the crystal!" Jagger became extremely tense; everything else happening was now in a blur to her. The first alien asked another question, Jagger realizing this alien wasn't so bright. "What's the have to do with the girl?" Now, she could see the figures as one of the aliens smacked the other, sounding even angrier. "The girl is the offspring of the two beings, you galbutha! We get the offspring, tell the humans, they'll come, and we'll kill them all. Then, the drej can be alive and well.afterwards." The first alien continued for the second. "We'll rule everything in alliance." After a while, they turned the corner of the long hall, Jagger left in silence and shaking. Jedidiah stood onto his feet, walking over to her and holding his arm, which was wounded, but nothing to serious. "They're stupid." Jagger stood as well, mixed emotions evident in her eyes. "Let's get out of here." Walking down the hall, Jedidiah followed quickly, no fear present in either anymore.
