A/N: Once again you guys have given me a lot of love so here is the next chapter. Don't forget to leave reviews because I love them!
When she opened her eyes she was shocked at what she saw. Th'vk stood not too far away from the bed maskless. His head was more oval in shape then the mask had let on. In the place of lips were mandibles. His forehead was large and around his crown were ridges. Th'vk's eyes were sunken but their color was still visible, a reddish brown. There was no nose that was visible giving him the appearance of a supremely muscular, and alien, version of Voldemort. I have seen worse, she chanted to herself to keep from squealing. Voldemort's definitely uglier, as she had barely finished that thought he opened his mandibles. No, they are pretty tied. Nothing was spoken as she continued processing his appearance. Th'vk moved away and placed his gauntlet on. He tried to talk with Daisy. "Good morning."
Daisy couldn't believe he had said something so human. She was silent before she remembered to answer. "Ah, yes. Good morning." Her brain was having trouble comprehending that she had just had exchanged pleasantries with an alien.
"Go freshen yourself. We must head to breakfast." He turned away from her to carry out his own business.
She stopped him. "Can I ask something of you?"
If he had eyebrows they would have raised. "You just did." She choked down an annoyed sigh. He continued, "What is it?"
Daisy stood from the bed and noticed how his eyes traveled along her body. Taking a breath she started, "I was wondering if I could regain some of my things."
He nodded, "Make a list."
"Wait!" She exclaimed to keep him from turning for her. "If it was possible could I get a pet, like a dog?" He was silent for a disturbing amount of time. "I just want one to take care of, you can think of it as an investment. It would make me happy and a happy me in the long run is good for you. Good for our bet."
The last bit caught his attention. He consented. "Very well."
Daisy threw her hands in the air. "Thank you!" She immediately rushed to freshen up.
Grabbing new clothing she entered the bathroom. The bathroom was extremely spacious with a large round tub in the far left corner. To her right was a shower. She contemplated both but chose the shower as it would allow her to finish faster and stay on Th'vk's nicer side. It took her about ten minutes to shower. She did not have her usual shampoo and body soap so she made do with the bottle that clearly had human writing. It seemed as though the aliens had taken some consideration about the needs of the women.
Standing with water dripping down her full curves she noticed something that she hadn't given much thought to before running into the bathroom. She had forgotten to bring in a towel. Her eyes darted around frantically looking for something to dry off her body with. Giving up she simply put the clothes on despite being wet. Daisy crinkled her nose at the feeling. There was just something wrong about dry clothes making contact with damp skin. The pattern on her clothes were similar to that of a cheetah. Daisy had always thought it to be a tacky pattern for clothes but there was something nice about these. Perhaps because it was authentic cheetah skin. Daisy decided not to think too much about it.
Exiting the bathroom she saw Th'vk sitting on the bed waiting for her. There was something very mundane about the gesture. Something comforting. His head turned in her direction.
"I was wondering if you had a towel, or something to dry my hair with." She quietly asked. Daisy felt as though she had been asking way too many question that day.
Th'vk grunted, standing he moved to one of the dressers that were built into the wall and opened several then turned to face Daisy while simultaneously pressing his wrist gauntlet. "Your basic needs should be present in these drawers. If you lack anything write it on the list you will give to me later."
Daisy thanked him while quietly shuffling past him to study what were in the drawers. In them were more clothes, underwear, tooth brushes, tooth pastes, brushes, towels, deodorant, and there was even two drawers dedicated to pads and tampons. Grabbing a towel she dried her hair the best she could and then started to brush out any knots. Satisfied given the circumstances she then put on some deodorant. She noticed how it was unscented. In fact the shampoo had been too. It's possible that they are sensitive to smell, she supposed. After applying the deodorant she grabbed a tooth brush and tooth paste and hurried to brush her teeth. Once she was satisfied with her dental hygiene she went to face Th'vk. "I finished."
He gave a curt nod and stood. They walked in silence to the cafeteria. Daisy paid close attention to the way there just in case she ever had to go there alone. Taking a left they continued on for another minute and then stopped. A door automatically slid open and they entered. There were two large tables. When one walked in the one to the right was dominated by the aliens. The other, on the left, only had the women she had seen last night. She wanted to go with the women. If only to feel the nearness of another human being but she followed Th'vk. She needed nourishment first. There was a conveyer belt with diet staples. On it were only two trays containing different foods. One solely had beef that looked like it had been put on steroids before being sent to the slaughter house. He took that one and left her with the other plate. The plate of food in front of her contained an orange, cup of water, bacon, and scrambled eggs. She had never been a huge fan of eggs but with no other choice, and very hungry, she grabbed the tray.
She took a seat at the end of the large table and set to eating her breakfast. The person that she was forced her to study the other women. Pealing the orange she noticed that many of the women looked very tired while others were fine. I wonder how many were taken last night. Daisy thought herself lucky at being able to convince her future mate to wait before he took her. She slowly ate her orange as she continued to study the women. Her eyes met with ice blue ones and she nearly choked on the slice of orange she had been eating. The blonde women from last night was glowering at Daisy with every being of her body.
A hand lightly patted her back. "You alright?" A husky voice questioned.
Looking up Daisy met kind almond shaped eyes. Swallowing the rest of the orange she nodded. "Yeah. Thanks for asking."
The other woman shrugged and sat next to her. "The names Natalie Wong. You?" She stuck out her hand.
Shaking hands with the women Daisy responded, "Daisy Monte Villa. It's nice to meet you." At the sound of another person sitting close to her Daisy turned to see the quaking woman she had aided last night.
"Hey, Jennifer, have you met Daisy?" Natalie smiled a very toothy smile and propped her head on her hands.
Jennifer nodded and cast a shy glance at Daisy. "Thank you for helping me." She had a timid voice that could barely be heard over the banter of the other women.
"Good, introductions have been made!" Natalie turned her gaze to Daisy. "So, do you have any idea why ice queen over there is glaring daggers at you?"
Daisy shook her head. "None. Made eye contact with her to find her already glaring. Maybe she's just backed up."
The three women giggled at the joke. "Good one!" Natalie lightly smacked Daisy on the arm. "On a more serious note though," Natalie's voice grew lower, "did your alien tell you why they brought us here?"
"To mate. Carry offspring." Daisy responded while risking a glance at Th'vk. He was eating his food without a care for those around him.
Natalie sighed. "Great, just great." She stated sarcastically. "Mine tried to mate with me." She admitted
Daisy returned her attention to the women sitting with her. "How did you stop him?"
"Locking myself in the bathroom. I was studying to become a circuit engineer and the little panel for the bathroom wasn't that hard. That and I always keep my gear with me." Natalie smiled cheekily while pulling out her engineering gadgets from her bra. "He wasn't too happy but I told him that I would come out if he promised not to do anything sleazy. You know, I have a sneaking suspicion they like being dominated by women." She narrowed her eyes in thought.
"Mine didn't try anything." Jennifer stated while chewing the last bits of her breakfast.
Natalie and Daisy shared a look. "Consider yourself lucky." Natalie then looked to Daisy. "What about you?"
Daisy picked at the remains of her breakfast, slightly deflated that there wasn't anything left. "He tried." She shrugged.
"Tried?" Jennifer asked with some hesitance while putting her coco colored hair into a bun.
Daisy sighed. "I made a deal with him." The other two gave her their undivided attention and she knew she would have to explain in detail to them. "He gives me six months to accommodate and in that time tries to . . . steal my heart. At the end of that time no matter what he gets to have me."
Both Natalie and Jennifer eyes were wide open from shock. "Girl, you got to be the most convincing woman alive to talk it though with an alien." Natalie shook her head in disbelief.
Daisy grinned. "Guess it was pretty impressive."
"Absolutely! Now can I complain about these clothes or am I the only getting a fur wedgie up in here?" Natalie shifted around trying to inconspicuously pick at her wedgie.
Daisy let out a burst of giggles. "I think it's just you."
Natalie rolled her eyes. "Thanks for the comfort."
Any further conversation was quieted as the males stood and called the woman away. They lead them down a wide hallway until they reached the center of the ship. When the double doors opened they revealed a training center. It had to have been the size of two football stadium. How does this even fit in here? Daisy couldn't help but notice that there was designated side for the women. It was the difference between a roller coaster and a carousel ride. The aliens had high tech machinery with panels that she could only imagine what they did. The women were ushered inside and basically sent to the day care center. There were treadmills, weights, balls, mats, punching bags. Just about anything one could think about when it came to fitness. There even was a sizable pool. Natalie and Jennifer approached Daisy and they sent out to find something to occupy their time with.
They settled with the punching bags. They mostly spoke of what their lives had consisted of before being dragged upon the ship. Jennifer had been studying to become a veterinarian and had worked two jobs to stay in college. Natalie expressed how pissed she was that they had took her. She needed one more year before she finished her masters in engineering. She was only twenty-four! Natalie could very have been the next Einstein for circuit engineering but instead she had to live the rest of her life on a ship for the sole purpose of reproducing. As it turned out both Natalie and Jennifer had grown up in the same neighborhood, being friends with each other until they went off to different colleges.
Things were going smoothly enough until Jennifer bumped into the ice queen and her two friends. "Watch where you're going bitch!" The other women stilled as they watched the scene unfold.
"She just bumped into you, it's no big deal. Chill." Natalie crossed her arms over her chest while frowning at the blonde.
Ice queen scoffed. "It's not my fault. The bitch needs to learn coordination." She shoved at Jennifer who staggered away. "Aw, she looks so scared." She cooed with venom. Her friends snickered behind her.
Daisy stepped in front of Jennifer with Natalie flanking her. "You've had your fun now leave." She stated threating the blonde.
"Oh Bailey, it looks like they've got some nerve after all." One of Bailey's followers said while scowling at Daisy.
Bailey cocked her head to the side. "I don't think so Carien. How about we put them to the test, Marry?"
The lanky brunette to Bailey's left gave a feral grin. "I like that idea."
Bailey and her cronies stalked dangerously to Daisy, Natalie, and Jennifer. "This is stupid. Let's just put a stop to this." Daisy tried to reason but her opponents were determined to fight.
Chancing a look at the aliens she noticed that they, too, were watching the display. Th'vk stood still and met Daisy's gaze. Great, he's not gonna help. And what the hell did I ever do to these girls? Her attention was reverted to the tussle with the other women when Jennifer let out a startled cry. Carien pulled her hair. Those two entered into a wrangle. Daisy looked back in time to duck from the fist flying at her. Bailey was quick to pull her fist back and try to hit her mark again. Daisy blocked her attack. Since Bailey had started the fight Daisy decided that she would finish it. Being the tough women she was Daisy had never liked the thought of someone overpowering her so she had taken some self-defense classes. When Bailey came at her she quickly dodged and pivoted on the balls of her feet. Daisy hit Bailey at her base of her neck on both sides effectively knocking her out.
Natalie was just finishing her opponent while Jennifer was still struggling with Corien. Daisy took to assisting Jennifer. While Corien was focusing on Jennifer Daisy knocked her out like she had Bailey. Corien fell atop of Jennifer. "A little help?" Jennifer gasped out trying to shove Corien's unconscious body from her. With a rough shove Jennifer was freed. "Thank you." She breathed as she was helped to her feet by Natalie.
They were alarmed when four of the aliens came forward. However they were ignored as the males went to pick up their mates off the floor. One stopped in front of Daisy. It was Th'vk. "Come." He marched away.
Daisy turned to Jennifer and Natalie, who both looked totally disheveled. 'Good luck', mouthed Natalie while Jennifer waved her hand. They both were concerned for their new friend. Turning around Daisy followed Th'vk out of the training arena frightened that she was about to get into a lot of trouble. They walked in silence until she couldn't take it any and took a breath to speak.
