Part 3

I though about Spock's question trying to find the best answer that would not give me away, and I looked towards Kirk see if he had any idea and, as always, he had a worried look on his face and that was about it.

"Copper poisoning," I answer plainly trying to keep my emotions from showing that I was lying.

"Yes, when we were kids we found a old copper mine and Elpis tried to tell me that it would be a bad idea but I called her a chicken, and well the rest eplains itself." Kirk tried to cover for me, as we always do; I guess it just one of those things you do without thinking to much about. Spock's eyebrow shot up, with curious movement. McCoy gave me an odd look but he kept his trap shut.

"Well, Ms. Muse, I find that highly improbable but also the only other reason for that would be most unlikely too."

"Other reason?" I asked, staring into his dark brown eyes, also bracing myself for the mental blow he was about to give without knowing.

"You being Vulcan. But based on how you look and act, I will have to think otherwise." I wanted to laugh at him, for bluntly stating the truth without knowing that he did, but unlike me, Kirk laughed his ass off and started to hold his gut as if that would help him control himself.

"Kirk, if you would please, shut up," I said with no emotion.

The event went through my head once more as I climbed aboard the star ship; I would have to stay away from Mr. Spock as much as possible. I couldn't let any one know (besides Jim) that I was ΒΌ Vulcan, but even Jim didn't know my reason for passing out when I saw spock, I was not going to tell him I would die before the horrible past got snake it's way into my mind.

I stood in my new room on Vulcan, I was so happy to be in the place where my mother grew up. I looked at my self in the mirror; I pinned my hair back to show off my ears, trying to show how proud I was of being who I am. I looked in the mirror when I saw my aunt; her face was shaped by her facial features and her perfect Vulcan eyebrow not a hair was out of place. I tried to keep my face perfectly Vulcan to respect her way of life, "is there something you need, Ezyet," I asked politely

"TRASHA," she almost yelled. I did not know what to say to her almost yelling at me to leave I do not understand.

I cleaned my mind, before the worst of the past came back into my mind. Before heading to the bridge, I decided go to sickbay to talk to Bones about the duty of my new job on enterprise. The door slide open and I walked into the sickbay. It was empty beside some nurse and Bones reading something from his PADD.

"Elpis report to the bridge," said a voice over the intercom.

"Oh my god, I just get through the door," I yelled annoyed. Bones looked over at me and rolled his eyes. I sighed and turned on my heel and walked toward the bridge I swear if Jim makes me walk around all over the place, I WILL kill him. "What do you want Jim?" I asked when I got to the bridge.

"You're not in uniform," he said plainly.

"I just got on, captain"

"Well here," he handed me a short dress that all the women were wearing.

"Captain, I would prefer to wear the men's uniform." he knew I hated dress.

"I knew you would say that so I asked some red shirt to put one in your room,"

he smile that prince charming smile but I just glared at him, dumb ass!

"Mr. Spock, could you show Ms. Muse to her office and her room?" Spock nodded, walked, then stop, and looked at me to follow. I sighed and followed him. I stood on the opposite side on the shoot, away from Spock as far as possible. He raised his eyebrow at me, things were moving slowly. I could hear the clock in my mind tick away and it was about to drive me crazy. Spock kept looking at me and I kept pushing myself closer to the wall.

"Is some thing wrong?" Spock asked, "From the look on your face I would say you're scared."

"You have no idea." Spock look confused and I was about to say never mind when the shoot just stopped.

"It's look like we're stuck in here for a while."

"Thank you captain obvious." I rolled my eye.

"What? I'm not the captain." I just looked at him and started laughing. The light flickered and then shut off, freaking out I jumped and grab the closest thing from where I landed, crap its Spock. Fear hit me once more and an old memory hit me like a summer rainstorm in Texas.
