~~A.N.~~ lets get a love competition going on! Whoop Whoop! Ok anyway so our swordsmen dude from Atlantis and the Doctor will be competing for Alexandra's love! SOOO! Who will win? Who will lose? Who will she chose? Read and find out! Also leave me some reviews! Should Swordsman dude be a new companion?
Once I complied with what the swordsman wanted he pulled the tip of the sword away from my neck gently, careful not to cut me. I breathed in, grateful that I no longer fear that he was going to slice open my jugular. He sheathed his sword again and I looked over to the side where the TARDIS was. It was there, Amy, Rory, and the Doctor looked over alarmed but did not move out of the door way to help me. Tears fell down my face, help me, help me please, why can't my captor see them? A glimmer, a silver almost completely see through glimmer surrounded the TARDIS, a glamour.
That's why they didn't want me to leave the door way, I would have left the protective field of the glamour that surrounded the TARDIS, visible to anyone, like this guard here. IDIOT! I'm a complete idiot! And because of my idiocy I was going to die, more tears streamed down my face and I looked up at the guard pleadingly. He looked down at my kneeling form, my hands behind my head, tears flowing down my face, somehow my makeup not running. His resolve seemed to be melting away, his cold outer core gone, guilt was in his eyes, and he made an innocent, defenseless girl cry.
"S...S... Stand up," he said stuttering.
"What?" I sniffed looking at him, my violet eyes shining with tears.
"Stand up before I change my mind!" He snapped half-heartedly at me, "I mean... Please... just stand up please..."
I stood up a little shakily, he was wearing a long black cloak with a mandarin neck, it seemed rather heavy duty and around his waist was a belt that held his sword sheath. He folded his arms across his chest still trying to look tough for whatever reason, not like he needed to try, he was scary enough as he was.
"KAYA! Why haven't you eliminated the trespasser?!" A woman wearing a similar outfit came over; she had black hair and green eyes, a Celtic accent thick in her speech.
"Maeve... this girl isn't a threat of any kind, she's weaponless, and seems to be thoroughly puzzled as to why she is here," my capture... Kaya... said to Maeve.
"Don't be stupid! It doesn't matter what she appears to be! She wears the colors of a blood elf! She must have glamour on herself to conceal her true identity," Maeve yelled pointing her now unsheathed sword at my face, the tip inches from my face.
"What the heck is a bloody blood elf?!" I yelled at the woman who had her sword in my face.
"Maeve! Get your sword out of her face! She doesn't even know what a blood elf is! She's obviously innocent." Kaya was getting a bit frantic as he tried to defend me from the crazy Maeve lady.
A man in a different type of cloak came over; he seemed to be a higher rank than both Maeve and Kaya were. His face had scars on it, some looked like they were from a war of some sort, and one was shaped like a crest starting at his forehead curving around his eye and down to his cheek. He had a traditional military buzz cut and instead of a sword like Maeve and Kaya had there was an old fashioned colt revolver on his hip.
"Maeve O'Brien! Shingen Kaya! Front and center!" he growled out as they did a marine style salute to him.
I felt awkward standing there with the two of them saluting him that I dipped into a courtesy trying to show some sort of respect to him in hopes that I don't get killed by them. I sneaked a peak to the left and my heart sank, the TARDIS was gone. I didn't have the time to let myself to get any more emotionally unstable, so just took my mind off of it and focused on getting myself safely out of here.
"Maeve! Neldor! What are you two doing?" he snapped at them.
"Protecting an innocent person," Shingen said.
"Capturing a blood elf," Maeve said smirking.
The scar man narrowed his eyes at Maeve and said slowly, "Are you insane Maeve?"
I saw her gulp looking nervous and spoke, "No Sir."
Scar man pointed at me as I straightened up from my courtesy, his voice was low and menacing, "Are you trying to tell me that this young lady is a blood elf?" Maeve nodded seeming less and less sure as time extended, "Then you truly are insane Maeve."
I smiled in relief, at least he knew I wasn't a blood elf or whatever it was, I mean seriously? I was being claimed to be some mystical creature because of the color of dress I was wearing? Scar man put out a hand to me which I took politely in my slimmer one, his palm and the pads of his fingers were calloused as we shook hands.
"Hello, I'm Mikel Freson, I apologize for how Miss O' Brien treated you, and I hope you can forgive me." His voice was softer than I had ever heard before and he gave me a warm smile.
"Hello Mr. Frenson, I'm Alexandra Tarvin and of course you have my forgiveness, Miss O' Brien was just doing her job and I completely understand why she was so... rough. Though I would appreciate not having any more swords pointed at my throat, if you would kindly agree to that. Also where I am, just a few minutes ago I was with my friends Amy, Rory and John talking about some mythology of Atlantis then I was right here," I said smiling at Mikel.
He nodded, "I see... well while you are here you are an honored guest. But we must make a request of you. Here in the city we have outlawed the color red or hot pink for reasons that I would rather not discuss with you. I Right now you can wear a black military cloak until Neldor can get you a proper dress. Also we only wear dresses for females in the city unless you're military. That's another rule I would appreciate you following."
" Of course, I am a guest here and I'll willingly follow the rules you have given me, since I am supposing that I will have to stay here longer than just one day may I ask where I will be staying?" I was trying my hardest to be polite; I tried not to be too hopeful that I wouldn't have to stay with Maeve since she seemed to be glaring at me harshly.
"Sir? I'd volunteer to keep Miss Tarvin at my place until we can get her back to her home." Shingen said smiling.
"That very kind Shingen, I think that is a splendid idea, what do you think Alexandra?" Mikel asked me.
"I'd love to stay with Mr. Kaya," I smiled and we were agreed on what we should do.
Mikel and Maeve walked away and there was only me and Shingen left together with no one else was left around there.
"Should I call you Shingen?" I asked as he took off his cloak revealing a tight muscle shirt that outlined every tight muscle in his chest.
"I prefer to be called Kaya," He sighed sarcastically as he smirked watching me struggle with the coat zipper, "Here let me help you out princess."
I blushed as he took a knee helping me zip up the cloak half way up my chest to cover up the red fabric of my dress, "Thanks Kaya..."
He chuckled, "Even though the color red does not make everyone to happy I thought that you looked amazing in it."
"Oh... Thank you..." I blushed darker as we made our way to the crystal city, it was a quick walk to his apartment in the tallest building in the city, "This is just amazing... just wow..."
"Thanks. I like being as close as I can to the dome, so I can watch the marine life swim about, it soothes me to watch it," Kaya said smiling as he operated the building lift up to his flat.
"This is just amazing; do you live here with like a wife or a girlfriend or like family?" I asked as I pressed my face to the glass/ crystal stuff of the lift looking out at what seemed to be downtown Atlantis.
"Nope, just me. I don't have family... they died in the Yellow Fever epidemic when I was a kid," he whispered out the last part his voice thick with sadness.
"Yellow Fever? But... there's a cure for Yellow Fever. I mean... unless you live in Africa or Asia with no modern medical treatment there's almost a 100% survival rate." I looked at Kaya frowning, I did feel sorry for him but things weren't adding up.
"Yes normal Yellow Fever does have a cure, time, but my parents were Bioengineers they were trying to create a cure to different diseases that create huge epidemics here in Atlantis. They were trying to find a cure for Yellow Fever, to completely eradicate it, but they ended making a version of Yellow Fever with a 96% kill rate. They were the first ones to get infected, then my brothers and sisters; I somehow didn't get hit with it. Half of Atlantis's population was wiped out. We've just barely have recovered our population even though we are still below what we were before the epidemic. Soon, we hope everything will be like how it used to be and we can remove this memory from our history books, never to be spoken off again." Kaya finished as we reached his loft and I frowned hearing the story.
Somewhere like Atlantis where it's closed off from the rest of society, where nothing is able to penetrate their kingdom even something like the flu that we get above the water would be fatal. They have no immunity to new diseases or chemicals that new people would bring with them if they ever came. No wonder they were so wary of me being here, I could have some sort of illness like the common cold that could have the same destruction that the Yellow Fever had. I watched Kaya to see if he wanted to talk about it anymore, but he seemed closed off about his past and I left the subject alone.
"Ok you need to disinfected, you need to take a power shower, come on." Kaya's voice was gruff as he led me to chrome like room with perforated wall panels, "This'll sting a bit, and sorry about that but we can never be too careful when it comes to infection."
"Of course... but umm... I do need a change of clothing if you could... please." I smiled and he looked at me with a bit of an expression of amazement.
"Oh yea... I'll leave everything that you need outside the door so just grab them after the cleansing is finished." he nodded a bit pink and I walked into the chrome room.
"Hello... Alexandra Tarvin... you have no illness or other unknown particles or chemicals. Gender, Female. Age, 16. Hair, white. Eye color, violet. Race..." a female robotic voice was speaking but then paused as she was trying to determine my race, "Race... unknown."
