Chapter One: Escaping and Meeting Pike
Her mother had been taken from her home while pregnant with Dawn to be a doctor after she helped multiple Klingons from the crew of their ship after a fight. So for as long as her ten year old self could remember, Dawn Jameson always lived on the Klingon vessel that she was currently running through, with her mother slightly ahead of her toward an escape pod.
This night everyone aboard was awoken or surprised from a mysterious attack from an unknown vessel. As the ship started falling apart around them, Dawn and her mother finally made their way into an escape pod.
"Where are we going mama?" Dawn asked as she buckled herself in, watching her mother set the destination on the computer.
"We are going to Earth my poco niña(1)," she replied as she strapped herself in. "Computer launch escape pod."
"Why Earth?"
"Because we'll be safe there. Now get some sleep, it will take us a while to get there."
"Yes ma'am," Dawn said as she laid her head back and closed her eyes.
After what felt like hours later, Dawn slowly woke up to a slow beep next to her ear. When she opened her eyes, instead of meeting the ceiling of the escape pod, she saw a slightly older man with a tricorder in his hand running it over her forehead. He stopped short when he noticed she was awake.
"Hello, you're finally up. How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Fine. Where's my mom?" Dawn asked as she slowly sat up, with help from the man. She looked around the room and saw others walking around in the same uniform as the man. Looking at the different beds, she noticed that they were empty. "Señor(2)? Where is my mother?"
Just as he was going to say something, the doors slide open to reveal another man in a similar uniform only the shirt was gold instead of blue. "Has she been awake long Doctor Jay?"
"No sir, Captain Pike. About five minutes at most," Doctor Jay replied.
Pike turned toward the girl to see her studing him with her surprisingly amethyst eyes. "Where is my mother?" She asked again a little slower like she was talking to a toddler. His eyes widen in shock and he cleared his throat.
"Miss when we found your escape pod, it has been severly damaged and barely had life support. You were strapped into a seat unconscious. When we your blood stream we found that you had been heavily sedated," Pike said.
"I don't care, Captain!" Dawn hissed, her fangs showing slightly. "Where is my mother!?"
"I'm sorry to say that your mother was dead before we found the pod. We believe she received severe bodily from when the pod was damaged."
"She's dead?" Dawn whimpered.
"Do you know if you have any other living relatives?" Pike asked.
"No," she said laying back down curling into a ball. "I'm all alone."
