Chapter 32

"Permission to Cry"

Wil and Deanna woke to darkness. It was cold and dark you could hear the water dripping from the cell. Wil was the first to move he reached out for something familiar soon he came across a soft mane of hair, it was Deanna. Wil moves over to her and helps her to sit against the cell wall.

"Are you alright Deanna?"

Deanna breathes heavily has she places her hand on her head. There was so much pain.

"Oh, yeah I think so my head hurts."

"Yeah I think we were drugged and put in this prison on our way to Vanta III."

Nearby a soft voice catches Deanna's attention

"Are you okay miss?"

Wil and Deanna look in the direction of the voice. A Small stream of light barely exposes the features of a small humanoid child with dark eyes and soft smile.".

"Who are you?"

"My name is Ethan."

"Where are your parents Ethan?"

"I don't know the last time I saw them was right before we beamed down to Vanta III. That was three weeks ago."

Deanna moves closer to Wil as they both look into the child's eyes.

"You're a betazoid aren't you son?"

"Your wife is too isn't she?"

" Yes, I'm only half betazoid my father was human."

"My mother was human my father is a betazoid. We were supposed to be going on vacation then we ended up here. Do you know where we are?"

"How old are you son?"

"Six. I don't know why they took me I'm just a kid. What could they want with me?"

Wil looks at his wife who continues to nurse her headache. Then he looks over to the child he was frightened."

"I don't know but I'm going to find out."

Soon a closing of a door brings Wil to his feet. Soon a humanoid male comes to the cell door. He was tall and lanky the scars on his arms and legs caused Deanna to shudder. He was a very disgusting humanoid. Ethan quickly ran back into the shadows as Deanna pulls herself up on her feet.

"Why have you take my wife and I prisoner? What meant no harm we just wanted to take a vacation."

"Silence human!"

He pulls a switch out of his pocket and presses a button. Wil falls to his knees in agony.

"I am the one who asks the questions. You have no say in this proceedings."

Deanna runs to Wil to comfort him.

"Strange behavior for a female. Our females do nothing but what we give them permission to do. It is forbidden for a female in our race to comfort her lover."

Wil recovers from his shock and comes to his feet pulling down on his shirt.

"You have come to our enemies home to aide in our war. That is not acceptable from this day forward you will be our slaves."

Deanna and Wil look at each other

"Rest up. You will be sent to the fields at dawn. You will only get fed if you do a good job."

As the humanoid exits the cell block Wil takes Deanna in his arms.

"Some vacation huh?"
