Koji turned to his friend who shrugged. "Did you know Dren knew this girl?" "Nope, must be a girl he met recently..." "Probably when he was on Earth for so damn long." "Huh? You mean that girl in there is a human!" "Yeah, and a fiesty one at that!" The two walked away from the door.
"Ah...are you sure you should leave her in that state?" "Why not?" "Ah..." "When she goes to open the door for the srevants thats when I'll get her." "Ha, just don't be too harsh, she is a human, and from what I understand they break very easily." "This girl may just be an exception, but I wont kill her." "Well, thats good at least. Are you going to tell Dren that the girl is here?" "What and loose to not only him, but that girl in there? No." "Koji, thats not right. You shouldn't be holding her against her will." "She accepted my offer weeks ago..." "Is she the human that old man Fern found in that shuttle crash?" "That she is..." "...How'd she end up here? Not because of your devious charm?" "The very same." "Koji, you are seriously going to get into alot of trouble when Dren finds out you have that girl here..." Koji stopped and turned to his friend.
"Icharu, my friend, you're not planning on telling him now are you?" "Koji! He has to be told! Its not right keeping her here when she obviosly doesn't want to be here!" "Icharu, you are to swear that you will not speak one word of this girl's being here to Dren." "Koji..." "Swear!" "Harh! Koji!" "Icharu!" "Fine! I swear I wont tell Dren anything." "Good, now, lets see about something to snack on."
In the safety of her room, Zoey lay in the bed and looked up at the ceiling. "Ha...why did I even agree to come out into space for anyway? I've had nothing but trouble since." She sighed, "First the crash, now, i'm being held in this mansion, on the Cyniclon's planet, of all places, and the master of the mansion, not only wants me to give in and marry him, but under his handsome looks, is a vicious...demon!" Zoey turned over and burried her face into the pillows.
Her thoughts came to what Dren had said to her, on the phone the night she'd found out about the space trip thing. He'd said he had an all seeing mirror. "Hm...if only he was watching here on his own planet, but he's probably still watching my place...even though, it doesn't look like i'm going to be able to return anytime soon." She stood and walked to the window. She dared not step 1 foot onto the currently locked balcony, fore Koji seemed like the kind that would drag her down from the balcony. Then she realized something that made her giggle. No Cyniclon male can accept the answer no. To proposal, or anything. She let herself have a good giggle, then returned to her current situation.
"Ha...Mark...I wonder how you're doing?" She sighed as she thought about how down on Earth, she along with the rest had probably had a memorial funeral. Considering that old man Fern had told her that no ship is about to get past the lookout scouts. so no one would be able to find and get her off the planet. Course, it wasn't the planet she didn't like, it was the place where she was being kept, prisoner. She flopped onto her bed again and this time closed her eyes to try and get a bit a sleep.
Koji and Icharu were sitting donw in the parlor, when a woman came to them, "What?" "Master Icharu, theres an urgent call for you." "Oh, thanks. be right back Koj." "Take your time."
Icharu returned a few moments later in a rush. "Icharu?" "Sorry to cut our visit short Koji, but we have to go now!" "Where? Why?" "To the base, an unauthorised ship got through!" "What! Argh! What were those boys doing!" Both hurried and ran out the door.
"Miss?" "Go away." "Miss, the master has go out with master Icharu." Zoey sprang up quickly and bolted out the door. "Thanks, um...please don't let him know I'm out of the room when he comes back." "Oh...ah...oaky." "Thank you." Zoey zipped out of the mansion and out the hedge door.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!!" She exclaimed as she breathed in the sweet air. "I'm free! Yes! Free and I'm not going back there!" Zoey headed towards old man Fern's hut.
"Old man Fern?" "Hm? Ah, it's you." "Yes, I was wondering...do...how do I locate Dren?" "Oh, I see, well you'll have to go to the military base." "Okay, which direction is that in?" The old man chuckled. "Whats so funny?" "Well, for starters, it'll take you nearly 2 days to get there on foot, also you wouldn't get in." "Oh, cause I'm human right?" "That and its not for the non military people, so they'd never let you in." Zoey sighed, "Ha...great, there goes the one way I could possibly get home..." "Now, now, I said you'd never get in, but they'll allow me in." "What," "I'm a veteran, and I'm always bringing ynew young boys to be trained to be soldiers." "Well, I don't really like that part, but...can you get me in?" "I can," "Really! Great! Thank you..." "However, like I said I bring them young boys to train." Zoey looked at the old man, who held up some boy clothes. She knew what he was getting at, and took the clothes and went to change.
