My sister had taken almost two months to tell me that she was dating someone, and most of the information had been drawn between Alex and me, since at first she just told us the name. However, little by little we had gotten her to tell us that he was Kryptonian, which surprised us, even to introduce him, although it had to be separately, since I needed someone to stay with the twins, so Maggie and Alex offered to take care of them.

That was the reason why at the moment, Mon-el and I were at the door of my sister's apartment, listening without interest to the guidelines he was giving me so that, according to him, I could not destroy my sister's date and make her regret having invited me. Before he could finish telling me how I was supposed to behave, I rang the bell, hugging my sister the moment she opened the door.

"Hey, Keaks" she hugged me back before guiding me to where the boy was. "Kaelah, he's Ethan" she introduced him to me while I was observing him, I knew him from before. "Ethan, she's my sister Kaelah" she introduced me, at which point I recognized him, knowing that I was not mistaken.

"Eth-Van," I whispered, getting him to smile. "It's been a long time since we met," I said, laughing.

"Did you know each other?" Was Mon-el who asked.

"His parents were at Krypton's Council, we used to play together," I replied, watching my sister giggle, bowing her head. "Remembering the day you left and they scold us for not knowing where you were, right? "I looked at her, giggling, causing her to nod slightly.

I was glad to know how he had survived, the truth is I was curious to know his story, but I thought I had an idea of how he got here, Fort Rozz. The last news I had of him was that they had decided that he would begin training to become a prison guard, so he was sent there with only fifteen years old to learn what his work was to consist of. It was supposed to be for a couple of days, as he was supposed to return to Krypton to continue his training. But I was convinced that they send him there was to make sure he was going to survive the death of the planet.

"I knew you were alive for Zyan, it was he who told me," he explained to my surprise. "Well, I ended up working on CatCo, so I could see for myself that it was true," he said with a smile, looking at my sister. "The last thing I imagined was that the heiress of the House of El would end up with a daxamite" he looked at Mon-el and me.

"I didn't either," I answered sincerely looking at Mon-el. "Since I was little I was told not to trust any daxamite, but I can not regret that I did," I said with a smile.

'You were mistaken of daxamite,' I heard his voice in my mind, which made me bow my head, for it could not be true, he could not be found here.

I awoke in alarm, looking around, sensing the presence of someone in the room, striking Mon-el's arm to wake him.

"What's wrong?" He asked turning to me.

"There is someone," I answered. "Mon-el, in the twins' room," I whispered, not wanting to be heard by anyone who was there.

"Kaelah, you may have dreamed it, there is no one" he caressed my hair to calm me, which made made me shake my head, here was someone.

I got out of bed, making sure I did not make a noise, wanting to avoid being listened to, prepared for anything, moving toward the room. I watched the little ones in the crib, caressing their cheeks without being able to avoid the smile, making sure they were both well.

"Have you missed me, Princess?" I felt his presence on my back, his hand over my mouth to keep me from screaming, feeling tears welling up in my eyes, of course he was going to come back for me. "I would love to see your face right now," he commented with a small laugh as I tried to move, being seized by the waist. "They are adorable, a pity that you didn't trust me to raise them, this time I will change your mind" he spoke in my ear, altering me, feeling as he stroked my neck before nailing the needle, making me want to shrink because of the pain "Shh, shh, it will be fast" he moved his hand to massage the area.

"Mon-el!" I shouted, begging for help, feeling as he was covering my mouth again.

"Do not shout," he warned, feeling my vision blur.

"Kaelah" I heard Mon-el calling me, but it was late, too late.

I opened my eyes stunned, looking into my surroundings to identify where I was, but it was obvious, I was back in the ship, which made me want to move.

"Shh, shh, princess." He placed his hand on my shoulder to keep me from moving. "You're fine," he whispered.

I moved, trying to get him to release me, but all he could do was to stand on top of me, carrying all his weight on mine, so I move trying to breathe, but I could not get him to move.

"Stop moving," he whispered in my ear.

But I could not help doing it the moment I noticed how I caressed my leg, taking advantage of kicking against him, getting him to lose his balance, leaving me free, but not for long, as he grabbed my arms again, throwing them back, climbing on top of me again, this time making sure that I was completely immobilized.

"I think you're going to need another dose, you still have a lot of strength, Princess," he said, feeling like he was oppressing my chest with his weight, struggling to breathe easily, but it was a bit difficult. "Don't you think you owe me an heir?" he asked clenching my wrists hard when I shook my head. "I thin you do, I think that you played with me, that is the right thing to do" he looked at me seriously while I tried not to start crying. "You can cry if you want, princess, but I warned you once, I never receive a 'no' for answer" he grabbed my face before he grabbed my arms again. "Don't even move your arms, I'll tie you if I have to," he warned.

"Why don't you do it with your advances? You just need a lock of my hair," I complained.

"It wouldn't be fun, Don't you think?" He asked, making me shake my head. "For me it's fun, princess," he said.

I sobbed the moment he released my arms without being able to avoid it, trying to fight back against him, but without getting anything, because he only hit me before continuing with his objective.

I returned to reality the moment he left the room, looking for a way to escape, so I dressed before running in any direction, because to be honest, I was not sure where I was going, but I did not stopped

I heard him call me and the truth was that he seemed angry about it, but he was not going to stop me, feeling as he grabbed my arm to pull me towards him, getting me to debate, releasing me. I was aware that I had to get something to protect myself, so that I could defend myself if it was necessary, watching the dagger in front of me, catching it despite not being sure about how to use it.

"Stop, Kaelah," he called as I turned to him, realizing I was surrounded.

"Don't come near," I warned him, but my voice trembled too much to show authority.

"Are you threatening me?" He asked mockingly, all I asked was for him not to continue approaching.

"Please, Kon-el, don't come near." I asked her to the edge of tears, for I honestly was not aware that I could murder him, I was not able to stain my hands with blood in this way.

"Or what? Are you going to kill me?" He continued questioning, advancing towards me. "Stop playing, Princess, you know you can not do it," he remarked just a few steps from me, which made me plead again.

I gripped the dagger without decision, knowing that I had no other option, watching his movements carefully so that it was not a misstep. I closed my eyes at the moment I had him in front of me, that I made that move, knowing that it had been certain when I heard his body fall, which made me look at him, watching as he coughed as he moved his hands to his abdomen and tried to catch his breath.

"I didn't think ... that ... you were able ... to do it, princess," he murmured with a smile. "I hope ..." he tried to breathe deeply, but ended up choking on his blood. "I hope my brother ... take care of you like ... I did not, "he said, looking directly into my eyes.

I wanted to do something, but my own panic prevented me from moving, being able to help him, only limiting myself to observe how his breathing became more and more expensive until it stopped, when I began to cry without even knowing why I did it , trying to calm myself, to think clearly where I should go, for I could not stand any longer in that room.

Before I could walk, it was Mon-el's voice that stopped me, making me dribble the dagger before advancing to his voice, looking for him, hugging him without giving him time to react, feeling as he surrounded me with his arms when I broke my cry, only trying to vent, forget all that happened recently.
