Chapter 12
Damian had gotten stronger now, though he acted like he was still very weak. He may have been fooling the scientist but he had a feeling that Durhum knew just how strong he was getting.
Damian knew now that the dreams he had been getting were projections. Teresa was leaving him a trail of breadcrumbs to follow. The two men she kept showing him, they existed to upset him, to goad him into coming after her. She must still think he meant what he said.
He hadn't seen her clearly yet, his dreams were always through her eyes, she was careful not to show her reflection to him. Damian craved to see her face, he knew she'd be pretty, she was always so very beautiful, but he needed to see her. To know that it was really her, though really, who else could it really be?
"We're catching up." Durhum said from the safe distance behind the bars of Damian's cell. Damian turned to him.
"You better hope she'll do as we think, otherwise you'll be useless to me and then I can do whatever I want to you." Durhum threatened. Damian rolled his eyes.
"She will." He ensured.
"You better not try anything either or I'll just slit her throat."
"Make up your mind Durhum who you going to kill? Me? Or her?" Damian taunted. Durhum growled at her.
"All I need is her, then I can get rid of you and take my rightful place on the throne."
"She'll never mate with you."
"She won't have a choice." Durhum snarled. Damian felt the waves of dread and sickness roll through his stomach. This was why he needed to get to Teresa first. To stop Durhum insane take over the Tedorian system plot. Though all he's be taking over was rubble and graves.
"Captain, we've caught up with the Enterprise." A voice on the P.A announced. Durhum glared at him once more with smug determination and then stalked off. Damian mentally went over his plan.
It was go time.
For four years nothing eventful happened to the two. They grew more accustomed to each other, and with every passing day their bond grew stronger and stronger. Their level of attachment was strangely high for a pair whom had just met.
At the beginning of the fourth year, Damian was turning fifteen and Teresa had just turned ten. Damian was trying to enlist in the Tedorian army, the only real use for his skills and anger issues, and Teresa's genius had become more noticeable and she had been bumped up several grades.
The incident that started the war happened half way through the year. Damian had been accepted into the army, though it was clear that he wasn't wanted, and was putting up with quite a bit of grief from his fellow soldiers.
They teased him about everything, so Damian started to keep Teresa a secret. Avoiding her at school, denying he knew her, choosing to hang out with different people and not her. Damian was doing it to protect her, but Teresa didn't know that and she was hurt.
However, like all great secrets, Damian's was found out. Teresa had been waiting for him in the parking lot. He came out of the Army training building and Teresa skipped up to him.
"What are you doing here?" Damian hissed.
"I came to walk you home!" Teresa exclaimed.
"Who's the squirt?" One of his fake friends asked.
"My kid sister." Damian cried. He noted Teresa's confused look and hoped she wouldn't say anything.
"I'm your mate." She snarled to Damian. Damian winced, his fake friends had heard.
"Your mate? She's like five!" One cried.
"I'm ten!" Teresa announced. They all broke out laughing. Damian bristled, he wished Teresa had just shut up.
"Wow you're even more pathetic then we thought!" One snarled, he pushed Teresa and she fell. Damian pushed him back.
"What you want to fight?"
"Bring it!" Damian snarled. It was a bad idea, even with uncontrollable rage, these boys had been training for years, they were better, faster and stronger than him.
Soon Damian was on the ground with them kicking him. He heard Teresa protests and bitterly cursed her. This was all her fault.
He was losing consciousness when he felt a heat rush past him, he opened his eyes and saw that Teresa was standing above him, her eyes completely red, Fire expelling from her hands.
Teresa had never been exceptionally good at elemental attacks, creating had always been her strong suit. To see so much fire coming from her was odd. Damian tried to reach out to her but everything hurt, and then everything faded to black.
Teresa wasn't there when Damian awoke, she had been called to see the advisors. The advisors were wise Tedorians who were in control until a Tedorian with control over all the elements was found. They shocked her by telling her that she would be the next queen. Teresa found this odd, she was just a little girl.
She relinquished her right to the advisors until she reached the appropriate age and maturity. But Durhum, a particularly strong Advisor, decided he wanted to keep his seat of power.
He proposed an alignment. Teresa would mate with him and not Damian and he would gain control and she could do whatever childish things she wanted to do while he control the planets. Teresa didn't like this idea. She turned him down.
The next time he offered he came with a group of soldiers intent on forcing her into agreeing. If it hadn't been for Tina and Garret who gave their lives to help Teresa and Damian escape she would have probably surrendered.
After that Robert and Miranda took the children underground. The Tedorian race broke into a schism, the Generals against the rebels. It was the rebels who helped Robert and Miranda get Teresa to safety.
The night of the last stand, Robert and Miranda fled the star system taking Teresa and Damian with them. They were heading to any Federation outpost, hoping to seek asylum while the remaining Rebels were massacred.
"This is all your fault." Damian growled. He had wanted to stay and fight, but he needed to go with Teresa. He hadn't yet gotten over the death of his parents.
"It is?" Teresa asked fearfully.
"You're so useless. You can't do anything." Damian snarled.
"That's not true!"
"So many people would be alive right now if you had just left. I never wanted a mate and I never wanted you." Damian told her.
"You don't mean that!" Teresa cried.
"Yes I do. I never wanted you, I only stayed so long cause my parents wanted me to be normal like everyone else. Well look at what it got them!" Damian bellowed. "I wish I never met you. I wish you'd just disappear!"
A few days later Damian got what he wished. Durhum caught up with them, and Teresa was seemingly blown to bits.
Damian never got the chance to tell her he never meant a single word of what he had yelled at her that day. And he regretted it, along with surviving when she didn't, every single day of his life afterwards.
But today was the day to make everything right again.
"Captain we're being hailed by on inbound ship." Checkov announced. Jim looked up to the screen, Teresa had been getting more antsy as of late, saying that Damian would be coming soon. Jim hoped it was him so he could beam him on board, kick his ass and then beam him back before Teresa was any wiser.
"Put them through." Jim ordered. A gnarly looking face appeared, the wrinkles were set in deep and there were scars everywhere. He had blue hair with a silver streak running through it, another sign of his age, and his eyes were a dark brown.
"My name is Durhum. I am the leader of the General's Alliance. I am looking for Teresa. She is on your ship and if you know what's good for you you'll give her to me." He told Jim. Jim was wide eyed at the threat. Spock was on his feet beside Jim in a second.
"I am Spock, Teresa's guardian. What business do you have with her?" Spock asked. Durhum chuckled lightly.
"Hey I'm her guardian too! I'm James T. Kirk, the captain of this vessel." Jim replied standing like Spock.
"She is the last proclaimed ruler of our race. If I wish to rule whatever is left, I need her to cooperate." Durhum explained, ignoring Jim entirely.
"Teresa? A ruler? She's like ten!" Jim cried.
"Nineteen Jim." Spock reminded him.
"She's too young to rule, and you definitely can't have her!" Jim declared.
"I am not asking for her. I am demanding that you hand her over to us now." Durhum snarled.
"And how do you expect to get her to cooperate. She doesn't cooperate with anyone." Spock asked.
"She will. I have her mate. Shall I bring him in as evidence?" Durhum asked. Spock nodded, and Durhum barked the order to one of his underlings.
"I wish to see Teresa." Durhum ordered. Spock exchanged glances with Jim. Neither of them wanted to give Teresa to this phsycho, and neither knew what her reaction would be if she were to hear that Durhum had Damian.
"I will go see if she's awake." Spock announced instead. At the same time a siren went off in the other ship.
"Durhum an escape pod has been launched." A lackey told the leader.
"What?" He growled.
A siren went off on the Enterprise.
"Uh, Jim... Teresa's launched herself into outer space." Bones declared over the P.A system. He had been babysitting her today... or he was supposed to be. Jim and Spock exchanged looks of panic and horror.
"End transmission!" Jim ordered. Durhum's face blinked out revealing the black expanse of space, "Zoom in on Teresa, what is she doing?"
Teresa was propelling forward in a green Space-Jumpsuit, the escape pod was heading towards her, she was pulled in by a tractor beam. And then the Escape pod went and warped away.
"We're being Hailed again." Checkov announced. Jim sighed, collapsing in his chair.
"Put him on."
"You have done this deliberately." Durhum growled.
"How so?" Jim asked.
"Damian has gone, and has taken Teresa with him." Durhum growled. So it was Damian in the escape pod. He should have known.
"You have made an enemy of us, James T. Kirk." Durhum declared. Jim sighed.
"If you make an enemy of me you make an enemy of the Federation." Jim warned.
"I don't care about you and your Federation. I will rule the Tedorian race and when I do we will attack you and your pitiful Federation. With Teresa's power under my control there isn't a thing you can do to stop me from taking over." Durhum threatened, he then ended the transmission and then he too sent his ship into warp. Jim turned his scowl to Spock.
"How much do you wanna bet she had this planned!" Jim snarled.
"That's not the point. She's gone and we have to find her before that psycho does!" Spock snarled.
"He tracked her somehow, we just have to figure out how." Jim mused.
And with that the team went to work.
