Thea was, again, taken away to be punished for taking food to the others.

"We'll be changing your leaving time, since we're closing this station down and moving to new location, Thea the man who bought you will take you tonight" Richard said, Thea only panted on the floor on her knees.

"Yes, Master" Thea replied with a broken and exhausted voice. "Good, get her ready, she can't be bleeding when he gets here, makes the merchandice look bad" Richard said walking away.

The ones hired to handle yautja slaves picked Thea up and dragged her to the medical room where they would mend the wounds to a cartain extent.

As soon as they pushed her back into the cell Thea instantly ran to Qu'tan who she hugged.

"Thea! What's the matter?" He asked trying to sooth the sad Thea who held onto him.
"Their sending me away tonight!" Qu'tan looked at her confused. "They said days from now..." He sighed. "No matter, we'll fight for you to stay, just like we always do" He held onto Thea tightly. "Not this time Qu'tan... I think this is it" Thea cried onto Qu'tan's neck where she buried her head.

"What's the trouble?" Daku approached as well as the other yautja's.
"Their taking Thea tonight, to the Ooman that... perchased her" He growled distastefully.

Daku and the others sat near Qu'tan and Thea, most unaware of what to say about this besides the fact they know Qu'tan will, once more, try to fight the humans to keep Thea near him.
Half of them believed he needed Thea as much as she needed him.

"Brother, shall we prepare to fight again?" Daku said sighing. "No, it would be no use, those ooman's have weapons that take us down without much fighting, we'll fall before we ever even begin" Daku put his hand on Thea's back.

"Are we to surrender, brother? Are we to give into these disgusting ooman slavers?" Daku asked with a slight disturbance.
Qu'tan shook his head. "No"
"Then we'll fight, maybe this time we'll win" He stated pridefully. "Listen to yourself, Daku, they do not even have to come near us to beat us with those odd weapons they have made, as I said, hurting ourselves will only hurt Thea and that will make all of this worse" He held Thea more possesively.

"Qu'tan, we may not be able to win, but at least when you look back to this in the future, you will know that you had tried to fight, instead of sitting in the cell watching those ooman's take Thea away"
Daku's reasoning overruled Qu'tan's, in which he agreed. "When they come, we'll fight them off" He hugged Thea tighter.

Daku and the others only waited until they came to take Thea away. Granted this battle qould be quick and much harder for them, they would still try.

As soon as that door opened, one of the hunters there leaped up and roared, Qu'tan stood with Daku and Thea was behind them.

The people came in easily, using the guns set on stun to take them down, Qu'tan and Daku dodged a few shots by the gun before they reached one of the slavers, knocking him down, Qu'tan and Daku had hope... and then they were shot by a much larger and stronger human who charged up to Thea and pulled her up.

The other yautja's from the clan attacked him but he used the stun gun and pulled Thea away.

Quickly they left with Thea, and Qu'tan and Daku stood back up from a few moments of shocking pain.

"That went quicker then regular..." One yautja said, who immediently backed away from Qu'tan.
"You are right, Ti'kul, that was much quicker then regular" Qu'tan slumped down against a wall, and all could only hope that Thea would be okay without their protection.

Elsewhere...

Thea was taken to the man who bought her, after all her years at Palaks Industry, someone had paid all that money to buy one simple, slim yautja female.

The man walked up and paid Richard, soon enough Thea was taken aboard the man's yhact and they left Palaks Industry, for Thea it may be forever.

"Alright, you have new work and new hours" The man smiled, his three wives were all trophy wives, he was a rather fit man, clean, sharp dressed and, if one could not tell, rich.

"Thea... I don't think I like that name too much... What should we rename you as?..." He thought for a minute, slowly walking around her, looking up and down her entire body.
"Nice body, your clean, very obeidant... I might as well name you after my first wife... or was it my first dog?" With a shallow laugh he continued.

"How about... Miranda?... That's good, Miranda" He patted her shoulder and eventually started rubbing her arm.
"What a fine figure you have, Miranda, let's get you situated for tonight"

The other slaves walked forward but the man protested.
"No, no, no, I'll take care of her" The man said and gently pulled her down into the ships lower rooms.

"Ah, yes, I'm Jack Arics, call me Jack" He said as they entered a room at the end of the hall.

Opening the door, Thea, or Miranda, gasped.
The room was large and seemed very warm.

Never had she slept in a bed... by herself, never had she slept in a whole room with quilts and sheets and an actual wooden floor by herself.

"Like it?" He asked as Thea slowly walked inside.
"Very much, Mas- I mean, Jack" She smiled and continued staring at the large open room.

"Well good, I was hoping you would, becuase I really love this room" Thea thought for a moment.
"Then why don't you make this your room?" She asked him while he shut and locked the door quietly.
"Oh... It is" He simply replied.

Thea turned around to come face to face with Jack as he tackled her to the bed.

"Every newcomer need to learn who's the alpha male, and I'm that male and your about to learn" He implied as he began his... lesson...

Meanwhile...

"Qu'tan?... Are you alright?" Daku asked sitting next to his brother.
Qu'tan didn't reply.

"Brother... Answer me, I worry for you, are you alright?" He repeated.

"They got away again... Thea will never be back and she will die with that disgusting Ooman..." Qu'tan growled.
"I will escape these pauking Oomans and I will save Thea, I swear to you on that brother, even if it kills me, I swear to you"
