A/N OMG I cant think of n e thing to write I will try tho.

Chapter 13

"Rhade, how much longer until we reach the drift?" Dylan asked.

"two hours." Rhade answered.

"That's not soon enough." Harper said surprised.

Caida's quarters on the Drift.

"Well, wake them up!" Caida yelled.

Two men walked over and injected something into Beka and Trance's necks. Beka and Trance slowly opened their eyes.

Beka made an angry noise. "Who the hell do you think you are? Dylan knows where we are, he will come for us."

"By which time you will be dead and I will be comforting dearest Telemachus."

"Mmmm hmmm sure in your mind sweetheart." Beka said.

Caida's face contorted with rage. "HE WILL COME TO ME, YOU WILL SEE!"

"Yeah, to kill you." Beka said

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Beka just smiled. She could feel Trance working on their bonds w/ a knife.

"Gentlemen, please excuse us." Caida said in a dangerously low voice.

The 6 men tromped out of the room.

"Pay for em by the hour?" Beka asked. Anything to give Trance some time to cut through the bonds. When will people learn, make sure captives have no weapons and metal bonds prevent escapes. Beka thought wryly.

"You have made my life difficult. Stealing my love, trying to turn him against me, you are evil." Caida spat.

"Really, why is it then that he hated you all along?" Beka asked.

"He HASN'T! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!"

ANDROMEDA

"Two slippoints away." Andromeda's voice rang out.

"Finally! Harper, how long 'til you get those cameras to stop transmitting?" Dylan asked.

"10 minutes boss man."

"Actually Dylan, I have an idea..." Rhade said.

DRIFT

"Beka, Beka, Beka. You are a pain in my side. A thorn up my butt!"

"Umm..actually the expression is a thorn in my side, a pain in my butt..."

"Shut up! Since you are in your last minutes in life, we shall let you see your beloved one last time." Caida smiled and pulled a monitor into the room.

Beka whispered to Trance,"Almost done?"

"No."

Caida turned on the monitor and the halls of Andromeda flicked to life. Beka's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. There was Rhade and Dylan in the gym, sparring. Wouldn't they notice they weren't back? Caida turned the sound up.

"Well, that does it for today." Dylan said and left the gym w/ Rhade at his side.

"So Rhade, now that Beka is finally gone, what are you going to do?" Dylan asked. Beka couldn't believe what she was hearing. Neither could Caida.

"Oh, I am not sure. I probably will go to Surraleigho. You know ,the pleasure planet. It fells amazing not to be bound by her. She is so demanding." Beka closed her eyes. Dylan said before they left they would have the cameras offline an hour after they left. Guess they missed one... Beka's eyes were brimming with tears.

"It is good to finally get away from her. She is too controlling. After a but , I might go to Caida. She is something..." Rhade left it there. Beka couldn't watch, didn't want to hear, this was enough! Just like very other man in her life, he betrayed her!
