Chapter 11
Jim glared at Teresa, Spock and Jim had decided to co-guardian her. Spock did all the disciplining and Jim was the fun one. Spock helped Teresa with her homework while Jim taught her how to fight or played around with her to exhaust her energy source. Right now, however, she was being unreasonable.
"No!" Jim barked. Teresa glared back.
"Yes!" She argued. Spock sat between them massaging his temples with his long fingers. Teresa had had another dream about Damian and she wanted to go find him.
"I don't see the point!" Jim cried.
"I'll be exploring a new planet!" Teresa explained.
"No!"
"What? That's your job."
"I'm not traveling half way around the universe to find some stupid boy!"
"He's not stupid!" Teresa cried, she pounded the table with her fist, for some reason the table was suddenly smoking. Spock lunged to intervene.
"Teresa, it's just not logical."
"Damn you and your logic! You don't understand what it's like to lose half of yourself!" Teresa screamed. Jim continued to glare.
"He's just one guy!" Jim argued, standing to glare at her, Teresa had to crane her neck to look at him.
"He's my mate." She stated. Jim's glare intensified.
"So what."
"I love him."
Jim paused, this wasn't good, if he knew men, and he knew men hell he was a man, this Damian guy wasn't ever coming back. Every man was the same, they hooked a girl and left. Jim growled, how dare someone try that with his Teresa? If he ever met this Damian character he'd beat him senseless. He had to get Teresa to forget about Damian, how bonded could the two of them be?
Damian avoided the girl as best he could after that run in with the teacher. He didn't know if he had gotten her in trouble, but he knew avoiding her just didn't work. Every play time she was under his tree. She never called to him, or asked him to come down, she just sat leaning against the tree and he wouldn't come down either. But those boys left her alone and after a while, she stopped coming to the tree. Damian had never been so irritable in his life.
The end of school rolled around and Damian had finished his creation project, it looked horrible, like a four year old made it. Damian had never been good at making things, he was better at destroying. He silently waited for the teachers to tell him how horribly he had done. The teacher was getting closer to him Damian excused himself to go to the washroom. He didn't have to go he just didn't want to endure the taunts he would get. However, if he wasn't there things would be worse later on, so running a hand through his messy orange hair, Damian steeled himself for the inevitable.
He got back to the gym where they were showing their projects and saw Teresa bending over some work she had done. It was pretty good for a young girl like her, actually it kind of looked like his. He got back to his booth and found that his project had changed and it was suddenly much better. He hadn't made that at all.
"Alright, which one of you took my project?" He growled to the students around him. They all shrugged, or shook their heads and took a step back for precautionary measures. The teacher appeared behind him, Damian tried to tell her that it wasn't his project.
"Very well done, surprisingly. Seems you were listening in class after all." The teacher told him. Damian tried to tell her that this was a mistake when he heard the chiding voice of a reprimanding teacher. Sure enough there was Teresa, looking up to her teacher who was yelling at her for stealing someone else's work.
"This is not what you showed me in class? I knew you couldn't be that smart! You're a useless little brat! You stole that work in class didn't you!" The teacher exchanged. Teresa's eyes flew to the floor, Damian was suddenly furious, the project the teacher was berating her for was his. Teresa was the one who had switched project. Damian looked back to the splendidly created habitat. She had made that.
"You can't even talk. You're so stupid!" The teacher hissed. Apparently that was the final straw. Teresa's eyes flashed red.
"I'M NOT STUPID!" Teresa suddenly screamed, she stomped on her teacher's toes. Damian was shocked, so was everyone else, even Teresa was surprised. She fled from the gym and for some reason Damian trailed after her.
He didn't see where she ran off too, but he knew she was at his tree. Sure enough he could hear her soft sniffs even before he was at the top of the hill. He peeked around the tree and found that she was crouching down, her arms wrapped around her knees.
"Why did you do it?" Damian asked coming to sit down beside her. She turned to him, wiping away from her eyes. Damian wondered if he looked as concerned as he felt.
"Everyone thinks I'm stupid cause I don't talk, but I'm not stupid." She whispered. Damian smiled, he liked her voice, it was light and airy, fairy like. It suited her.
"Then why did you switch your project with mine?" He asked again. She sniffed.
"You were nervous about it. So I gave you mine. I thought it would help." She replied. Damian pushed a strand of her hair out of her face.
"I don't need your help." He told her.
"I want you to like me." She whispered. Damian paused, he felt his heart flutter nervously.
"Why?" He croaked out. He had wanted her to like him too.
"Cause I like you. You're nice to me."
"I like you too." He mumbled. Teresa smiled. She hugged him tightly burying her nose into his shirt. Damian wrapped one arm around her and rested his head on his shoulder. He was unimaginably happy, so happy, he had someone, someone who liked him and wasn't scared at all. A sickening thought came to his mind ruining his contented mood.
"Where's your mate?" He questioned. Teresa looked up to him, her smile was still on her face, he hoped she didn't have one, but a girl like her was probably the choice of many. He didn't know what he wanted, but he definitely didn't want to share her.
"I don't have a mate." Teresa told him. Damian felt his heart swell with joy. Teresa's face went back into his shirt. Damian put his lips to her soft green hair.
"You're mine."
Robert held his wife, Miranda's hand as they hurried through the school to the office. They weren't sure what happened to Teresa that elicited a call from the school, but she wasn't a trouble maker so the only logical conclusion was that she had hurt herself in some way. When they got to the principal's office they found that another couple was awaiting their arrival.
"Hello, Robert, Miranda, this is Garret and Tina. We have something to discuss with the both of you." The principal told them. Robert ushered his wife into a chair before sitting down. He nodded politely to the two Tedorian's, they nodded back.
"Both your children have been proven unsuitable for mates." The principal stated. Robert flushed, how dare she just blurt that out?
"You called us down her to embarrass us?" Tina cried, shooting to her feet, the principal blanched and moved away.
"No, because both your children have formed an unforeseen bond." The principal cried. The two couples exchanged glances with each other.
"Damian found a mate? But none his age were suitable candidates." Garret questioned.
"The mate he has found isn't suitable. Neither is the one for Teresa."
"I don't understand?"
"Perhaps I should show you."
The two confused couples were led to the gym where they heard shrieks and growls coming from inside. The principal opened the door and Teresa tore past, followed by boy with orange hair. Tina and Garret moved forward to stop him, making Robert wonder what type of boy this was. The principal stopped her.
They watched Damian catch Teresa and haul her up in the air, spinning her around in a circle. When he was done spinning they fell to the ground laughing.
"You see, Teresa formed a bond with Damian." The principal explained. Finally Robert understood. Teresa was with Tina and Garret's son.
"He lets her do that to him?" Tina asked, Teresa had jumped on Damian's back, she was ruffling his hair, attempting to braid it. Damian lay on the floor protesting loudly, but not moving to get her off.
"She talks to him? She says words to him?" Miranda asked. Neither could believe that these were their children.
"Since we discovered that they had met we noticed that Damian was in less fights and Teresa was suddenly more brave. She stomped on her teachers toes today." The principal snarled. The two couples turned to her.
"You want us to keep them apart don't you?" Tina accused.
"Well of course. He is five years older then her. It is unheard of!" The principal growled. Tina's eyes narrowed.
"So are we." She reminded her.
"So were we." Robert inputted. Tina turned him.
"Oh you two too huh?" She asked, seemingly much chipper.
"Don't curse your children with your own awkward social standing. Keep them apart, or take them out of this school." The principal warned.
"My son is happy. If he wants to stay with this Teresa girl then I won't stop him." Tina snarled.
"I'd rather have Teresa happy then alone too." Miranda inputted.
"I do as my wife says." Robert replied.
"So do I." Garret mumbled.
"Then find them a new school."
"We will." Tina growled. She moved into the gym and bore down on Damian.
"Mom!" He cried. Teresa immediately hid behind him.
"Come Damian. We're going home." She told him. She grabbed his arm and pulled him away, Damian shot a glance back at Teresa before allowing his mom to drag him out of the gym. Teresa ran to her parents, her dad bent down and picked her up. Teresa hugged him.
"I like him" She told her dad.
"We like him too."
Teresa didn't have to go to school for the last week. She wanted to see Damian but her parents wouldn't let her. At night she'd wonder what he was doing and if he missed her.
So it was no surprise when she had a nightmare she woke up screaming for him.
Damian wasn't sure what it was that woke him up but he knew he needed to get to Teresa. He snuck out of his house and started off in a random direction, he didn't know how he knew where he was going, he just knew that she was there and that she needed him.
He came to a house, and without a second thought he rang the door bell.
He looked up at Teresa's parents, wondering what he should say. He didn't have to, Teresa squeezed her way through her parents and threw her arms around his neck.
"I knew you'd come!" She cried. Damian hugged her back.
"It's ok. You don't have to be scared." Damian told her. Teresa's father ushered him into the house. Teresa led him to the couch.
"You should call your parents and tell them you're here." Teresa's mother told him.
"Naw, it's ok they know where I am." Damian lied.
That night Damian slept on the couch. It was comforting knowing that tomorrow he'd wake up and see Teresa. He didn't want to admit it but he missed her, that he wanted her as a mate, even if her age made her an unsuitable mate.
The next morning he awoke to Teresa jumping on him. He groaned and pretended she was some big burden, but he had a feeling she could see through his façade.
"My mom made pancakes!" She told him. Damian smiled. He liked being here.
They were half way through the meal when Damian's mom stormed in.
"Tina now calm down!" his father demanded. Teresa clung to his arm.
"What were you thinking?" Tina screamed. She grabbed Damian by the hair, ripping him out of Teresa's grasp. Damian saw Teresa's pink eyes widen in fear and he just knew she was going to do something.
"Mom stop!" Damian tried to plead.
"Honestly it was no trouble." Robert tried to smooth. Suddenly an earpiercing shriek was heard. Everyone turned and Teresa was screaming. Water shot out of the sink, there was suddenly a strong gust of wind whipping through the house, the oven had burst into uncontrollable flames, and the plants were climbing out of their pots, inching towards her. Damian's mom let go of him and he rushed to Teresa. He put his hands on her shoulders, and she stopped screaming. She hugged him tightly her tears falling on his shirt.
It was decided that fighting it wasn't going to work. They moved out of the area and moved into the greater city, where the two of them could go to school together, get to know each other better, and bond.
And those four years were the best of their lives.
Damian paced in his cell, he had been working out, getting stronger, building himself up from the beginning. When he was certain no one was around he practiced his telepathic powers, something he hadn't done in years. He had always been exceptionally strong but with the lack of practice he had become weak.
He had a plan in mind, but before he could even attempt to execute it he needed to get strong again and he'd have to do it before they caught up with the Enterprise.
"Don't you worry Teresa. I'm coming."
