"Alex...Alex!" I woke up to some voices. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Lily with a panic look on her face.
"You need to get up now!"
"What's going on...?" I asked sleepily.
"Just get up now!" Lily whispered to me, whimpering. I got up, put in my clothes and grabbed my shoes.
"Those guys are here to get us."
"What do you mean?" I asked nervously.
"Alex...we are not on the Bahamas. It is a trap and now the men are here to get us."
"What about Maddie and the others?" I asked worriedly.
"They are gone. I don't know where they could be, but I hope that they are safe."
I grabbed my bag and heard some men coming upstairs.
"Let's go."
We used the stairs to get to the main floor. Thank goodness that no one has caught us, but I fear that would happen soon.
"What's happening?"
"This island that we are on is part of the Bahamas, which is a spot for human trafficking."
I panicked.
"Look, we need to get off the island, get to the Bahamas and call for help."
I nodded my head and together we left the hotel undetected. We were about to head towards the rocky cliffs when I hear someone called out from the hotel entry way.
"There's two more!" We both ran into the forest until we found different directions.
"We need to split up," I said. "you go and get help and I will keep them distracted."
"No.." Lily cried softly. "I won't leave you!"
"You have to, Lily. It's the only way."
She looked at me for awhile and gave me a tight hug.
"Be careful." I smiled at her and heard some noises coming towards us.
"Get in the bush until the coast is clear and then you move." Lily nodded and hid in the bushes while I took off.
"The girl took off in this direction. Let's get her!"
I quickly ran as fast as I could giving Lily some cover so that she can report to the authorities of the abductions. I continued running until I heard a gun firing towards me.
"There she is!" Oh shit...
As soon as I saw those men
"Hey where are you going chica?"
I heard one of the men shouting at me and laughing as I continued to run into the forest. I heard a gun shot and felt a tree branch split from the bullet. I had to keep on going or else I would be captured or worse, killed. Brushing those thoughts, I continued running until I heard a noise. It was a river. Sighing in relief, I ran towards the river it was a raging river as far as I know. I knew I have a choice. To go through the river, or get captured. Making a big decision, I went into the river...boy was it so cold! I ignore it and walked into the river and hid myself in the roots hoping that the moon doesn't give away my position. When I saw some flashlights, I took a deep breath and hid underwater. I stayed hidden when the lights shined over the river. I felt the river pulling me. I held onto the root from underwater, but it was so slippery that I couldn't hold onto it much longer. I went up for air when those men spotted me.
"There's the Chica!"
One of them laughed and aimed his gun towards me. When a shot was fired, it hit the water. It missed me thank God. I allowed the river to pull me until the river wasn't so ravaging. I got up and continued to walk through the water. I was almost to shore when I felt a sharp pain from my leg. I looked down and to my horror, my leg was covered in blood. I have been shot.
Groaning in pain, I stumbled on the river, but I had to keep on going. I got up and hobbled into the river as quickly as I can. I felt another shot. On my arm. Damn it! I looked and I saw blood streeping from my arm. I am feeling very weak and dizzy from the blood loss. But I have to keep going. I walked in the water, feeling very dizzy. When all the sudden, I felt two hands grabbing me. I looked at the source and it turned out to be the three men that were after me.
"Well well well chica," the leader smiled evilly at her.
"You're the trouble maker huh?" I was so weak that I didn't answer back at him.
"You are the puny little runt that killed the three men." I looked up, ignoring my weak body suffering from those bullet wounds.
"You sent those three after me 20 years ago? For what?!"
"We needed a young bride and you were a perfect match until a ghost came and killed my men."
I remembered that night. Three scary men trying to get me, my savior saved me and gave me a beautiful necklace. I became disoriented that I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder. I knew right away I was going to die. My savior is never going to rescue me. I would die on this island. As I was ready to say prayers, I saw a flash of light hitting one of the gunmen on my right side and on my left. I wanted to run, but because of my weak state, I allowed my body to fall to the side. All I see is the leader shooting the forest before I blacked out completely.
Raj'ah watched to his horror the female Ooman getting shot on her shoulder blade by the bad blood male. He turned on his laser and aimed it at the gunmen who was holding the female. He aimed and fire with his shoulder cannon, killing the man. Raj'ah quietly slipped through the trees while the gunmen shot at the wrong place. He watched the men walk away from the female about a good feet before Raj'ah attacked again, killing another and left the leader alive. Raj'ah deactivated his cloaking device and looked at the male who is terrified. He was about to take his shot when Raj'ah acted quickly. He unleashed his wrist blades and impaled the male and held him higher, causing him to cry out in pain until it was silenced. Raj'ah dropped the body and yanked his head off. He held onto it and looked at the female. He walked over to her and checked her vitals. They were so weak that she needed help and quick. He turned her body over and saw the female unconscious, but alive. He gently scooped her into his arms and carried the female to the ship right away. Which was right next to the scene. Once on board, he placed the female on his bed.
"Hang on, young one." He clicked at her.
"Stay strong and be yeyinde."
He ran out, got the heads and ran back on board the ship. He turned on the ship and took off. He immediately called Rai'eka and told her that he will be landing with an Ooman who needs help. After about 30 minutes, the ship is right by Jupiter and he landed on board. The hunters and Rai'eka ran out to greet the Arbitrator. Once the door is opened, the hunters didn't move. They bowed down to the Arbitrator as he walked out of the ship with the female Ooman in his arms, hurt and very weak. He walked over to Rai'eka as she looked at him in shock.
"What happened to her?"
"She got shot by those three bad blood oomans and now she is dying." Raj'ah answered as he made his way to the medical unit.
"Oh my!" The healer looked at Raj'ah with a female in his arms.
"What happened to ooman?"
"She got shot and she is dying. Please save her!"
The healer shook her head.
"I never worked on another species before, Arbitrator!"
Raj'ah walked over to her.
"Please..." The healer has never seen Raj'ah like this before in her life.
"I will do what I can."
The healer and Raj'ah walked over to the medic table. Raj'ah placed the ooman's injured and frail body onto the table while two of the healer's assistants came in.
"We need to save this female ooman right away."
Raj'ah left the medical unit and went on board his ship to get his trophies of the three men who tried to murder the female. He went into his room and cleaned them right away. Scooping out all the guts, and other organs is not a very easy job. But it has to be done. After scooping out the organs, he used a vacuum to suck the remainder of the tissue and blood from the skull. He washed it really good, and dried the skull before he went and polished it. After he was done with the first skull, he moved on to the second and the third skull repeating the process before he took them to his trophy room and displayed them. Looking at his trophies, he was very pleased with what he hunted, but deep down he feels worried for the female Ooman he saved. He prayed to Paya to save this Ooman before Cetanu, God of death comes for her soul.
"Healer Lu'ki." The assistant called out to her.
"We don't got any blood that is Ooman." Lu'ki sighed.
The ooman is loosing a lot of blood but how can she save the Ooman.
"We got no choice." She said and with that, Lu'ki went into the cabinet and found a serum that is the color green.
"Lu'ki?" One of the assistants gasped in horror.
"That's going to kill her!"
"We need to save her, and by saving her, she will get another chance at life."
One of the assistants came in with a small device in her hand.
"I got the chip, honorable healer."
"Excellent." Lu'ki smiled at the assistants.
"We will insert the chip inside of her right away."
Raj'ah went to the kehrite and trained himself for awhile. He tried to focus, but all he could focus is the young Ooman. While sparring, he saw Lu'ki coming into the room. He stopped what he was doing and went over to her.
"How is she?" He asked worriedly.
"We didn't have Ooman blood for her, so we had to inject her with some of the Yautja blood, and to our luck the blood did save her. It healed her wounds really nicely as if it never happened."
Arbitrator nodded and thought about it. Yautja blood can save his species in a jif, but it is never used on another species until now.
"What about the effects?" Raj'ah asked.
"We double checked on her side effects and it appears that she isn't suffering any side effects as far as we know." Lu'ki explained to Raj'ah.
"What about-"
"we insert the chip just as you requested." Lu'ki nodded.
"Good." Raj'ah nodded.
"I want to see the ooman."
"Of course."
Lu'ki was about to show him the way when one of the guards came into the Kehrite. "Arbitrator," he said.
"Thwei from the City Clan wants to speak with you." He nodded and looked at Lu'ki.
"Keep an eye out on the ooman. I will be back."
Lu'ki nodded and the two went their separate ways.
