Two days later

"Damn it," Neevh said as she paced the floors.

Today was the day and Neevh was still at home. This was bad. This was really bad. She didn't know what to do. Then it came to her. She ran down the hallway into her room. She pulled out the oldest dress she owned. It needed to be changed a bit. She took off the one she was wearing and changed into it. It was a little short but it will do. It was grey and the white on the sleeves was faded. It was torn jaggedly on the bottom and the slip was nonexistent. Her breast filled out the top better and it hugged her waist and flared past her knees but showed her ankle. She walked outside and took off her shoes.

She made the walk quickly over to a puddle with mud in it. Neevh dipped her feet into the water and settled them on the bottom. She spread some up her ankles with her hands and smeared the muck all over the dress. She walked back into the house and started teasing her hair. After she made her hair look like a rats nest she drew on a mole the size of Texas.

When she heard the knock on the door it made her jump off her chair. Neevh walked slowly and she smiled when they knocked again. In the most annoying voice she could use she said, "I'm coming."

She giggled. She sounded anal. Literally. When she opened the door her mouth dropped. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

His form was like most Feralonians but his was completely chiseled to perfection and his skin was so gold the sunlight reflected off his upper body and thighs. His garb was also native to his kind. It looked like the butt flaps that a person always sees in the movies. The man's head was bald and smooth but so sexy with his expressive face. His eyes were so blue they contrasted with his skin. All she saw were his big blue eyes open, infinite. He had full lips that looked like liquid gold and a beautiful slim nose proportionate to his face.

She saw a flash of white when she heard him talk and really didn't hear anything as she looked over him again. "What?" she said as she looked up again.

He looked down at her, "I said, may I come in."

She recovered and used her nasal voice again, "Yes sir, do come in."

He stepped into the small house and looked around. Neevh reached out with her mind and felt two more men. The man standing next to her turned his head towards her with a question in his eyes. "What is your name?" he said softly.

"Neevh," she said her mouth sticking together from the dryness.

He tested her name, "Neyvah"

"No it is Nee-Vah"

He walked around the room and turned towards her and looked her up and down. She could feel his hot gaze moving up and down her body causing her to shiver. The look he gave her burned through her disguise and for a moment she wondered if he even bought it to begin with. She wished this had been another situation. They are not really bad people, at least not all of them were. They pay the women who leave, for the two years they are there. And from what she heard it's a lot of money. Her mother never had to work after she got back from Feralon.

She walked down the hall and moved to the farthest door. The Feralonian followed her. This is my mother's room. She is sick right now," she said in a low voice as she moved to the next door, "This is my room."

She pushed the door open and walked in. He followed and looked around. He glanced back over at her and she turned and walked back out the door to the living room. Neevh stood alone for a brief moment before the Feralonian moved back into the same room. "My name is Dominixon," he uttered openly as he held out his hand.

She looked down at his big hand and put hers in his and shook it. It completely electrified her. His touch went deeper than just her skin. She could feel his mind as the images of himself passed through her own. The images of this Feralonian burned into her memory. He smiled a brilliant smile and she slowly pulled her hand away. The contact turned her knees into jelly. She opened the door for him and he stared at her. "

You need to get your things," he commanded.

"What?" she sputtered.

He sighed, "I said you-"

"I know what you said!" she practically screamed.

His face hardened and then softened once Neevh started to cry. Neevh walked back to her mother's room. She shook her mother awake and fell into her arms when her eyes popped open. "It's alright daughter. Your making it worst than it seems. They are not bad people. You knew it would come eventually."

"I know but I was hoping it would be later. I'm not ready," Neevh cried.

Her mother patted her back and she pulled a picture out of herself and father holding Neevh. "Take this with you. I will be here when you return," she smiled softly as she hugged her daughter again.

"You have to take care of yourself Ma. While I am gone, no more fatty foods, and no more meat. It is taking its toll on your body. I can't have you dying while I am gone because then there will be no one to save you without me here."

"I won't honey, I promise. I want to be well and ready to see you when you come back"

Neevh walked back into her room and pulled out a chest. She pulled out three of her favorite dresses and placed them into the chest with the picture. She threw in some shoes and a few personal things. She moved around the room and pulled up a wooden floorboard. Inside were all of her most valuable possessions, a ruby necklace with rubies the size of nickels so red they resembled blood. There was also a blue sapphire ring and some pearl earrings. She placed them in a black velvet bag and into her chest.

She picked up the small chest and carried it into the front room. Then the Feralonian looked her up and down before smiling with his brilliantly white teeth.

"Don't you want to change or maybe wash up? It is a long ride from here," he offered.

"I don't care" she replied.

Dominixon pulled the chest from her grasp and walked out the door to a machine hovering above the ground. Neevh stared at it once again with her mouth wide open. She saw him pull it open and place her chest into it.

She went back into the bathroom and rinsed off her face and legs. She had already been made a fool and she was not about to look the part as well. She made sure she took her time if only to stall them for a moment more. He stepped back over to her and took her arm.

"Are you ready?" he asked her, "That is quite an improvement from before."

She shot him a devilish look while giving a heavy sigh of exasperation, "Yeah, I suppose."
