Before I can scream a resounding “no,” he forces my head down. He twists it toward an open door to my right side.
In this moment, it is as if time itself stops. My perception is so shattered I can hardly believe what I’m seeing inside the room.
Snot runs from my nose as I let out a shrill cry. Inside the room is an alien trapped in a full leather body suit. The only thing allowing him to breathe is a small tube that flows into the mouth. I recognize his body in an instant. It’s Ax.
All of the generals break out into sadistic laughter. “That’s him, correct? Your beast?” the general asks.
“Yes… Don’t hurt him.”
But it’s far too late to fight their coercion. They have us cornered.
No options left. We lost...
Ax
Where do you go when the lights turn out?
Open a door. Turn a key. Examine your heart, and make a decision.
I have been beaten. Broken. Abused. I have been given every ounce of my own medicine. I’d cry if I didn’t deserve it. But I do.
In a way, I’ve been waiting for this, my punishment for acting against the human order. I’ve relived my past, and I got through it. When I thought I might receive redemption, I was given more brutality. I feel what she feels now. Anna. My one love, the connection to something more beautiful than this horrid fucking existence.
I feel her pain.
I would have never thought I’d find someone so pure. Someone beautiful. And now that I’ve had a taste, I can’t let her go.
Right now, I’m not in the best position to barter with these pricks. The heat of my body suit is unbearable, and I can barely fucking breathe. But somehow, I’m still holding on.
I just keep thinking of her face.
Everything I’ve gone through has taught me not to believe in love. Keeping the genetic chain unbroken through seed is one thing, but love always seemed like some fairy tale bullshit.
She opened my eyes. The Syndicate has tried to blind me, but I see the world in a different light. The darkness I once clung to has vanished. There’s a planet waiting for us on the other side of the horizon. We just have to get there.
We’ll get there.
Hours pass. Finally, my captors take off my leather slave mask. They let me out of my suit, but not without forcing a gag into my mouth and shoving me to the ground like a lame beast. They chain me so I can’t move.
To my horror, Anna is there, as caught as someone can possibly be. She watches the whole thing unfold.
Clara is with her. Guards keep her against the wall. Earth Federation generals surround us, and I can see now that we’re in a large mansion. I have transported many aliens to these facilities, but I have never seen this place before.
Weeping, Anna tries to run to me, but she is quickly subdued. Thrown to the floor, they force her back on her knees.
Blood boiling, I roar, “Get the fuck off of her.”
Not sure what I expect, the reality is a boot to the face, a whip against my back, and a gun to my head.
“Shut your mouth, slave,” the General says.
“General Kyev,” I mutter. “You were responsible for—”
Another swift kick to the jaw sends stars to the eyes. The general finishes my sentence. “I was the one who set your village on fire,” he says.
“You mean...”
Kyev laughs. “I guess this is a better time than ever to fill you in on a little truth, boy. You have been working under me this whole time,” he says.
