Raj'ah met with Rai'eka and Alex in the room after talking to Clan Leader Kai'ro.
"How did it go?" Rai'eka asked tensed.
"He is very angry that I didn't report to him after my hunt, and for bringing an ooman on board."
Alex looked down at her food while the two were talking to each other.
"He wants to meet the ooman so that he can see if she is worthy." Raj'ah and Rai'eka whispered to each other.
I almost choked on my food. Worthy? That's an understatement. How can I prove to this Clan Leader how worthy I am to the clan? I'm not much of a warrior material. But then again, it didn't stop Luke Skywalker from becoming a Jedi at a later age. Maybe, just maybe. I was just done eating when the alarm came on.
"Rai'eka take Alex to your room." Raj'ah ordered.
Rai'eka took me to her room. I began to panic as we entered into her room.
"Stay here." She told me and left the room.
I looked out her window to see what's going on. I saw a ship, but was it alien? My thoughts were at eased when the alarm went off. I want to go, but Rai'eka told me to stay in her room. I was about to check out what it was when Rai'eka came for me.
"It's okay, Alex. It's Thwei, the City Hunter. He and his clan are back."
Rai'eka and I walked over to the main hanger as the City Clan broke apart and went to the mess hall. Raj'ah came forward with Thwei, and someone hiding behind him in fear.
"Alex," he explained.
"This is my very good friend, Thwei. He's hunts in any alien city, which is why the clan is called City Clan."
I smiled very nervously.
"Arbitrator, you never told me that your pet is..."
"I know cute right?"
"Well...I was going to say that she is beautiful." Raj'ah looked at me.
It's like he never got a chance to really see me. I blushed at the statement.
"Now she is cute." Thwei chuckled.
"Come pup, it's okay." We waited for awhile until I saw her.
A very pretty teenage girl who has beautiful red hair and her eyes are as blue as the ocean. I have heard that it is very rare for any human being to possess a trait like that.
"Meet my new pet from the Ooman planet."
The girl looked very afraid I can tell.
I don't blame her for that.
"She needs to be cleaned. I would bathe her, but she refuses me to bathe her."
"I'll do it." I said walking forward.
"Very well." Thwei clicked and looked at his pet.
"Go with the ooman, pup."
She nodded and walked slowly towards me. I placed my hand around her shoulders while Rai'eka escorted us to her room.
"I will get her some clothes." Rai'eka said as we went into her room, walked us into the bathroom and from there, she turned on the water.
The girl was shaking I can tell.
"It's okay. Everything is going to be okay." I said, trying to soothe her like Rai'eka did for me.
The girl didn't say anything. I thought about it and left the bathroom. I looked into my backpack that Rai'eka brought to her room while I was unconscious. I dug in there and smiled. Then I went to the bathroom and looked at the girl, who was shaking a bit.
"Maybe this will help you." I said as I placed my iPhone down on the sink.
I found a music and played it. The girl instantly perk up a bit.
"That's my favorite song when I feel down."
"I like the song cause it brings me hope to my dad. He was an alcoholic, he would beat me so many times for no reason."
"I'm sorry to hear about that." The girl emphasized.
"What about your mom?"
"She died when I was ten years old from cancer." The girl looked down on the floor.
"I just lost my family. My dad and my mom don't care about us."
"Us?" I asked.
"My brother and my sister. We were seperated when the gangs attacked."
"I see." I nodded when Rai'eka came in.
"Okay young Ooman lets get you cleaned up." The girl backed away from Rai'eka and went towards me.
"Its okay, honorable Rai'eka. I can get her." I said.
Rai'eka nodded and left us alone.
"Thanks." The girl said to me.
I nodded. while the girl began to strip, I looked away until I heard the water splashing. I turned around, got some soap and a towel and cleaned her back while she covered her arms.
"How old are you?" I asked.
"I just turned 18." The girl answered.
"You?"
"I'm twenty seven."
"Really?"
"Yep." I smiled at her.
"I'm done with the back, you can do your front."
I handed her the towel and she cleaned herself while I went and grabbed the bottles of shampoo, and another bottle that Rai'eka used on me so that no hairs on my body, except on my head were growing back.
"I'm going to shampoo your hair, and from the looks of it, it's really thick."
"I know." The girl chuckled a bit.
"Also when you get out of the tub, I have to put this in the tub."
I showed her the bottle.
"What's that?"
"It's supposed to rid your body hairs, except for your head."
"No more shaving?" She asked seemingly interested.
"No more shaving." I answered.
"I'll let you do it. My name is Heather."
"I'm Alex." I smiled as we shook hands.
"You got to tell us about the trip." Raj'ah said to Thwei.
"We were in a middle of a war close to the beach. It is a perfect opportunity for trophies. While I was hunting down another gang, I found the girl hiding behind the dwelling all curled up. I looked and saw her family dead. Her mother, father, her brother and sister. She's the lone survivor."
"I see.." Raj'ah nodded.
"She is very depressed. I wished that I can do something for her."
"Maybe my pet is helping her."
"I hope so. I don't want a sorrowful mate." Raj'ah and Rai'eka looked at him.
"Mate?!"
"Yes." He chuckled.
"I have known her since she was a very small child. I found her by the beach with her family. She was wondering away to the cove and that's where I was at. I must have scared her cause she fell into the water. The current was pulling her away and I jumped in the water and saved her life. Since then I have been watching her grow up for a long time."
"You love her?"
"Of course i do. I can't force her to become my mate. She's too scared at the moment."
"The girl will come around. I promise." Raj'ah and Rai'eka nodded.
Heather looked at her outfit, it was the same color as mine but in a different style.
"I look a little...slutty.."
"That's how the Yautjas wore their clothing." I explained while braiding her hair.
"The yawa what?" Heather asked me in confusion.
"They are hunters who hunt down for sport."
"That would explain why that City Hunter didn't attack me."
"They leave the females alone." I explained, causing Heather to sigh in relief.
"Enough about me, what about you?"
"Pardon?" I asked.
"How did you get here?"
"Well, Arbitrator Raj'ah who was Hunter at the time saved me when I was seven years old from those men who wanted me as a child bride."
"Wow..." Heather gasped.
"He killed them and took their heads as trophies. He healed me, and gave me his necklace. 20 years later, he rescued me again from the men who wanted revenge for their fallen who tried to kidnap me back then. I was hurt severely and dying, but Raj'ah saved my life and took me in."
"I'm so sorry to hear about these events." Heather emphasized.
"Let's just say it's a blessing in disguise." I smiled.
"All done." Heather got up and saw her look. She loved her hair in braids with silver beads in her hair.
"City Hunter Thwei is waiting for you." I said taking her hand and together we left Rai'eka's room.
