Page 29 of Axon’s Lust

Did he want me to stay on this planet with him? Forever?

I noticed the path underneath my feet changing, and I looked up to see the lively village. There were Revians all around staying busy, like making food, cleaning, or making clothes. Others were simply walking through the village.

No one even stopped to stare at me, which I thought was strange considering the circumstances.

Why weren’t they shocked, I mean a human was in their midst?

“Axon? Axon, why are…,” I called out to him and was about to ask a question when something caught my eye. I stopped dead in my tracks.

“What is it?” he asked.

But it was too late. I was looking at the answer.

Coming down the path toward me were five human women, all laughing and talking to each other. A few of them carried babies. Crossbred babies, part human, part Revian. They were all dressed in strange clothing that was obviously not from Earth. They nodded hello at me and kept walking, and I couldn’t move or speak.

Suddenly everything was moving in slow motion, as I felt my consciousness slipping. I willed myself not to faint, and flashed myself back awake. Then my eyes followed the women into the different cross sections of the village roads. There were human women everywhere. I was so confused.

“Jennifer…?” Axon said.

I looked at him with my mouth agape, still unable to bring myself to say anything. He knew what I saw.

“I will explain, I promise. Just come with me,” he said, grabbing my arm and walking me with him down a path.

“Humans…. those were humans…. there are humans here,” I kept murmuring.

“Yes, Shh. Come Please, I will tell you everything,” he said, his eyes pleading. He opened a door to a small circular building similar to a bungalow before pulling me inside and closing the door behind me.

“I am so sorry, Jennifer. I wanted to tell you. You were not supposed to be here and see this,” he stammered, struggling to explain. “I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone we have visited Earth before. It was important we kept it a secret,” he said.

“Why are there humans here? What is going on? Am I really on your planet or somewhere else?” I demanded.

“We are on Harpo, yes, and there are human females here too, so yes” he said, before closing his eyes and sucking in a deep breath. “There have been human females here for several decades now,” he followed.

My eyes widened at this revelation.

“What? Why? How?” I shouted.

“It is a very long and complicated story,” he said.

“Well, it’s not like I have anywhere else to go now, do I?” I snarled. I folded my arms across my chest and quirked an eyebrow at him. “I’m waiting.”

He sighed and began to tell his story.

“My people, the Revians are going extinct. Our females are barren and have been so for many years now. It has become critical, Jennifer. The Council a long time ago decided that the best thing we can do to keep our species alive was to breed with another species from another planet, and that was when we found humans,” he explained.

“So, these women are only here to create offspring for you?!” I shouted, outraged. “Are they prisoners? What the hell is going on here?” I asked, my anger starting to boil over.

“It’s not like that!” Axon exclaimed. “These women are in love with a warrior, and they have formed a union. They are treated well, just as well as on Earth. They have families here. It’s not what you think.” He explained.

“How did they get here?” I asked.

“What do you mean?”

“How did they get on this planet?” I clarified.

He was silent for a moment, and I knew I wasn’t going to like the answer. He took a deep breath before opening his mouth.

“They were taken,” he said softly, confirming my suspicions. “We took them from Earth and brought them here.”
