Disclaimer: Read first chapter

Taya ran as fast as she could in the rain, trying her hardest to ignore the pain. She had managed to get past most of the guards but then she had set off an alarm. She had run as fast, trying to avoid phaser fire. The phaser she had got off of Karjen had come in useful until she had dropped it while running.

"Get back here" one of the guards yelled after her

"Never" she hissed under her breath

She was running in to some kind of wood. It was dark, Taya couldn't see anything, she tripped over a tree root. Taya lay there cold, wet and in pain. She could hear the heavy footsteps of the guards sent to capture her

"This way" A guard shouted

Taya listened to the twigs crunching under there feet, the sounds were getting quieter, they were going in the other direction. She waited till she couldn't hear anything except the sound of her own breathing then began to sit up, her whole body hurt. She rested her back up against a tree. Taya knew she was injured and tried to remember her lessons with The Doctor, but most of her lessons had been how to treat other people if they were injured and if they had a med kit. Thinking of The Doctor made her think of Kes, Kes was now a fully trained nurse and a good cook. She mostly cooked for her son Alex. Taya thought about Alex He was kind, sensitive and clever like his mother but was over exited and had the sense of humour of his father. Neelix was a great dad to Alex always telling him stories and helping him out. Miral was Alex's best friend even though Alex was only 4 and a half years old he looked around 8 or 9 because of the fact he was an Ocampan/Talaxian hybrid. Taya thought about Miral, Miral was strong like her mother but everyone could see the Paris prankster in her. She now thought about her Aunt B'elanna and Uncle Tom they were her god mother and father Taya sometimes went to them for advice or if her mum and dad had an argument she would go to there quarters to get away from the yelling, sometime she went to there quarters for breakfast with Uncle Harry. Uncle Harry was fun when she was little he would let her help at ops station and in astrometrics with Aunt 7. Aunt 7 was learning a lot more about humanity now and was helping Naomi with her academy studies. Naomi and Taya were best friends. Naomi was only one year older than Taya but she looked 18 or older because she was half Ktarian. Since they could walk they had always played together and both had great fun trying to wind Uncle Tuvok up in security and tactical lessons. Uncle Tuvok was ore Vulcany then ever, he even wound up Icheb with his logic. Icheb or Ensign Icheb as he was now a ranked officer was a great friend and he always helped Taya with her studies (Naomi and Taya had long discussions about the fact that Naomi had a very big crush on Icheb). Taya remembered the day Icheb became an Ensign, Taya's mother had been smiling he whole day. Taya thought about her mother and father. Taya carefully lay down, trying to ignore the pain, then curled up in to a ball. She thought some more about her parents, the way she use to sit on there laps on the bridge and pretend to be the captain or the first officer, she loved going to parties with them on the holo-deck and listening to the stories they use to tell her and the songs they use to sing to her. They sung two songs to her one of them her mum told her that her grandmother sang it to her when she was little, the other one both her mum and dad made up, without realising it Taya began to sing

When the moon comes up to shine upon her face
The Ensigns are fast asleep

Taya's eyes filed with tears

The Lieutenants stand at every post
The Captain leaves her keep

Tears began to role down her face but she carried on singing

We join our hands and sing this song
In hope that you will hear

Tears continued to run down her cheeks

On our quest back to Earth
The Voyager crew come near
The Voyager crew come near

"I want to go home"

That night Taya cried herself to sleep
