A/N: Good morning, Afternoon or Evening. You are probably wondering why I am taking so long with nearly every story. Well here's the thing, last year wasn't my best year there was living problems following by my final year at school, then there were family problems and that was a nightmare. I also been moving to place to place so I now finally settled down but now I got a new problem and that's now writers block. So please bear with me. Jesus its only just now that I realise how long it took me to write this chapter. I also like to thank a mate who is helping me at the moment they have been giving me ideas and thoughts on how to continue this story so cheers mate!
Here's a quick chapter four for you though to make it up to you all.
Chapter 4: Seven Meeting Humanity.
"Welcome home Seven of Nine." The voice of evil fills the room as the Borg queen greets her ex-drone.
"We've missed you around here Seven."
"This is not my home." Seven said in her harsh tone of voice.
"Seven this has always been your home, don't try and deny it now. We're your family don't you even miss us Seven?"
"No, why should I miss you. This isn't home it never was. Home is a place that is filled with people who love you and bring comfort."
"Even so Seven but you can't deny that we are not family."
"We are not family! You killed my parents." Seven started to feel angry, a pain in her chest as she speaks with the vile woman who took away her childhood and her family.
"Seven your parents were never killed, they were added to our own. Isn't that right Magnus?"
A Borg drone appeared to the left of the Queen. Seven eyes widen in shocked as she saw the man standing next to the Borg Queen.
"Papa?" Seven choked out. Emotions were flooding her, she wasn't too sure if this was a dream or real. Her father was turned into a mindless drone under the control of the Queen and there was nothing she could do she was powerless.
"Drones leave us." The queen ordered. Seven was holding on to everything she had, it was there and then that she thought about her captain and how she wished she would just save her from this mess that she has created.
"My darling Seven," The queen said sweetly as she place her hand on Seven check almost as if she was trying to cupped it, "how I missed you all these years have you missed me?"
Seven didn't answer for the fact that she never missed the Queen; she never felt what the Queen felt for her. For Seven it was all wrong, the Queen raised her, loved her and trained her to step up to the plate if anything were to happen to the Queen.
Seven didn't enjoy the Queen's touch it was cold, and it didn't felt like her captains touch. Her heart clenched as she thought about Janeway, how she left her to save her. It wasn't what she wanted but she had no choice. For Seven it will hurt her the most to never tell Janeway how she felt about her, how much she loved her, how much she wanted to be in her arms again. Just to say her name again or to call her captain, but that won't happen.
Inside Seven she felt her heart breaking.
"Seven please talk to me say something?" The Borg Queen never begged from anyone except from Seven. It has seemed that Seven has captured the Queens heart from the moment she was assimilated into the collective.
"I need rest." Was all that came out of Seven's mouth.
"Before you rest please let me back in, we been through so much Seven. I prepared an alcove next to mine."
The Queen took Seven's hand in to hers and walked her to alcove. She step up on to the dialysis and got ready for her regeneration cycle.
"Tomorrow is the start pick up from where we left off. You are special to me Seven and Voyager was all part of the plan."
Seven began her regeneration cycle, even though she didn't want to be here in this place next to the Queen. As for the Queen she was happy that Seven came back to her, but she couldn't help to wonder why Seven is so distanced from her. Sure spending time on Voyager would change her views and mind on what the Borg do but it wouldn't change what they had. Or would it?
Seven's mind was back on Janeway, she missed her captain. She felt like she had let Janeway down in so many ways after decided to re-join the collective. She also felt the pain of sorrow and regret knowing that her captain will never know her true feelings for her. How she dreams about her every night, how she can't wait to see her family home in Bloomington, but that would never happen.
Fresh tears escape from Seven's closed eyes as she feels the pain in her chest continue to grow. She only wished for Janeway to save her but also wished that she stayed away and forgive her for what she has done. Completing her regeneration cycle Seven was greeted by no other then the Queen and her glazed smile.
"Seven it is time, you are required to help assimilate species 4671." The Borg Queen stated. "Their unique brain functions and bone structure will make excellent drones."
"And if I do not comply?" Seven asked in a stern tone.
The Queen took a couple steps closer to Seven and looked deep into her eyes.
"Reassimilation and don't think I won't do it."
Seven glaring at the Queen had no choice but to comply. It was something she wasn't willing to be apart. She will feel bad to do this after all the captain had taught her. Janeway her mind was thinking of her all she felt was regret and sorrow abandoning her, leaving her without telling her how she really truly felt.
A couple of Borg drones escorted Seven to the assimilation chambers where she was greeted to injured and half assimilated people. Guilt was the first thing she felt followed by pain and sadness. She had to do something but what? What could she do if she didn't obey she would be reassimilation. It was a matter of time when Seven ran on auto-pilot and did what she did best; she disabled both drones and helped the people. The people were frightened and puzzled why was this 'drone' helping them.
"Assist me." She ordered everyone stoped and staired at her.
"My name is Seven of Nine I am not Borg I will help you escape from here. Now please assist me." Soon everyone followed her orders and helped Seven with the half assimilated species. As soon as everyone was together and ready to leave the cube Seven damped their life signs and beamed them aboard of a small transport ship. Taking a deep breath she knew what she did was right and hoping that the queen wouldn't find out about it.
Soon Seven headed back to the Queen's chambers only to find the Queen herself disguised in Seven. Face to face with the devil Seven felt worried for the lives on the little transport ship but also for her own life.
"I'm disappointed in you Seven. You have betrayed me." The queen stated.
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
"I think you know perfectly well what I'm talking about. The little transport ship that you beamed the survives on to." Seven paused, surprised that the Queen found out she thought she damped the life signs enough to sneak them pass. Near the Queen a view screen popped up and on display was the ship that carried the survives. Soon a tractor beam was placed on the ship to bring them back in.
"Let them go!" Seven cried.
"Or what Seven you are powerless around me! I control their fate not you!" The Queen spat. Seven wasn't ready to give up on saving them.
"Let them go and I'll... I'll do whatever you want." The last few words left Seven's lips as a whisper. Seven knew what would happen when she said that, it was either rejoin the collective, prove to the Queen that she was in love with her or lead her to Earth.
"Seven what I want is you to give up on Janeway. She is not going to come back for you; she probably has forgotten you and continued her voyage back to Earth."
"THAT'S A LIE! Captain Janeway would never give up on me!"
"Do you really think that Seven? It's been few days now and nothing. Your beloved captain would ever come back for you. She might be happy that you left her, because she knew that she would never be good enough for you."
Tears started pouring out of Seven as each word cut her like a knife. Seven shock her head in disbelief.
"She never loved you Seven, not as I have loved you. When I first saw you that tiny scared little girl I saw a future with you ruling by my side. I still see that now Seven."
Pain started in Seven's chest as pieces were ripped out of her. The Queen knew what she was doing if she could get the idea of Janeway not coming to rescue her into her head then she can have Seven all to herself without a problem.
"You've been away from us for such a long time my darling. I miss hearing your thoughts and you being by my side. Please come back to me. Rejoin us my darling and we can be together forever."
Seven didn't know what to do; she felt that the Queens comments are true and that she would never have Janeway as her lover. The Queen was there for every step in Seven's life and she was able to love her. Was it time to give up on her? To give up on her captain, her love?
"Tomorrow..." Seven choked on her own tears. "tomorrow I will rejoin the collective."
The Queen smiled happy to see that Seven have come to her scenes. The Queen moved closer to her and cupped her check.
"It shall be done my love." The Queen kissed Seven in full force. It took Seven by shock she stiffened she tried to kiss back but her lips wouldn't let her. It was only a matter of time before the Queen pulled away and walked Seven to her alcove.
"Sweet dreams my darling for tomorrow would be a long day."
Seven's regeneration cycle started and was taken away into a horrid dream. She dreamt that the Queen forced Janeway to watch as she loses Seven to the Queen by reassimilating her and was soon killed by Seven with her own hands.
"Forgive me my love." Seven whispered into the cold chilled air of the Borg cube.
