  “Yes, you are right. This is really fucked up,” I said.

  She hugged me. “I am just glad to see you again. I am glad to see any human.”

  "Yes, I know the feeling,” I said.

  “Where have you been? The last time I saw you was in the camp. Have you been at the camp this whole time? What happened?” she asked.

  “It is a very long story. No, I was not at the camp. I was rescued, but then I was captured again and brought here,” I said.

  “What? Are you fucking kidding me?” she said.

  “No, I am not. It is a long story. I will tell you everything, but first, tell me what you know about this place. Did you see what it looks like out there? This is like a castle. How are we ever going to get out of here? I need to know everything that you know about this place. Then I will tell you everything that has happened since I last saw you,” I said.

  “All right, come, sit down,” she said walking me to the bed.

  Chapter 17

  Captain Alicron Qinov

  The ship could not go fast enough for me. I knew that I did not want to be without this human female creature named Vicki. I had bonded with her; I wanted her. She was mine. Even though she was stubborn and had wandered off, it did not give this cyborg scum the right to take her from me. She was rightfully mine. I was the one that had taken her from her home planet of Earth. That meant that she was my bounty. I claimed her. I had already pushed my cock inside of her. She was mine, and the more I thought about that cyborg with her, the more rage built up inside of me.

  “We are closing in on C2,” Keyna said.

  “Good. What's the plan?” I asked.

  “We have to land on the backside of the rock wall that the city is built into, about a mile away. Then we will go on foot the rest of the way. The way we can get in is through drainage on the backside. We have done it before; we have not been caught. You will see,” Keyna said.

  “And once we are inside?” I asked.

  “Then we have to stay quiet. There are millions of cyborgs in the city. The only way that we stand a chance is to be invisible. If we come across a cyborg, then we take it out quietly. Do not use your guns. We have found that a knife through the side of the neck short circuits the cyborgs and they fall. We can show you how. Do you have a knife?” he asked.

  I smiled and pulled out the long knife in my boot holster.

  “That will do. Is it metal? Stone blades will not work,” he said.

  “Yes, it is metal. It will work,” I said.

  “Good. Then let's get your property back,” Keyna said.

  Minutes later, we were landing behind a massive rock mountain. The Lana were obviously skilled. I watched them prepare for the mission.

  “This way,” Keyna said as we got out of the ship and quickly ran across toward the massive wall. When we finally were next to it, there was a large iron grate covering a massive hole. There was a series of pipes.

  “This is it. This is how we got in last time. The key is to cut it open, and then seal it when we leave. This is how they don't to know that we have been coming and going through here. It is very important that we keep up with this,” Keyna said.

  “How do we cut it open and seal it back up?” I asked.

  "Tila…” Keyna said.

  Tila stepped forward. He pulled out a small device. A purple laser beam came out of it and sizzled away the metal along one side. Then he stopped. He pulled open the iron gate. Tila turned to us and smiled.

  “That is handy. Remind me to get one of those from you,” I said.

  “Follow me. Remember, we do this quietly,” Keyna said as he pulled out a massive knife. I did the same. We quietly walked into the drain. It was dark. Keyna turn on a small light on his wrist; it was red and did not cause too much light where we would be noticed.

  “We have to follow this up to the castle. That means we have to climb. Mango has his quarters in the tower. It is the only way. Once we get to a certain point, we will have to come out of the drain and down the halls. Ready?” Keyna said.

  “I am ready,” I said. I could not believe how lucky I was that I hired the right hired guns for this job. They had already been through here, and that was a big help. If it was up to me, I would be coming through the front of the city or trying to climb up the rock on the side. This was so much better. The longer we stayed unnoticed, the more successful this could be.

  We followed the maze of pipes, and up a couple of ladders here and there. It was wet and dark. We went quietly as small creatures like rats scurried about. It took us almost ten minutes to get to the level that we needed to be at. But I was fortunate that we were able to get this deep underground without being noticed. It was definitely working on our side.

  “This is it. We have to come out of the drains now. But we are on the level that we need to be. There will be cyborgs. Everyone, get ready,” Keyna said pulling out his long knife again. He turned off the light on his wrist.

  He climbed up a few stones steps and slowly moved a giant slab of square stone above his head. I assumed it was a tile on the floor of the castle. He did it slowly. He listened; there was no sound. He slid it some more and looked into the crack.

  “It looks clear,” he said. Then he slid it all the way open and climbed up. I followed him. We had entered a long hallway. It was empty. But that did not mean there were no cyborgs around. We each quietly came through the floor. Then Keyna grabbed the tile and slid it back, leaving it open a slight crack.

  “Take notice of where we are. This is our way back, and we might be in a hurry,” he said.

  “Which way do you think that she is?” I whispered.

  “Down that way is the living quarters in this area. In that direction are the meeting rooms,” he said.

  "Then let's head toward the living quarters,” I said.

  “Quietly, and stay against the wall,” Keyna said. We are wind our backs against the wall and slowly slid against them to the end of the hallway. Keyna put his hand up to stop us. His knife was in his hand, and he held up two fingers. I nodded. I knew what that meant. There were two cyborgs around the corner. He would take one, and I would take the other. I held up my knife. Keyna gave me the signal. In a flash, we moved around the corner. I grabbed a cyborg and pushed my knife into the neck right where Keyna had told me to. The cyborg fell to the ground instantly. Keyna did the same thing. Yivo came around the corner with Mabi and they quietly opened a door to a room. They checked it out.

  “It's clear; I am here,” Mabi said. Keyna and I dragged the cyborgs into that room. It was an empty room with a bed. It let me know that we were in the living quarter areas. We hid the cyborgs in there. Then we went back out into the hallway.

  “She has to be in here somewhere,” I whispered.

  Just then I heard a scream. “Aagh! Get off me!”

  "Vicki,” I said. It was her. I ran down the hall. The Lana followed me.

  I could hear her screaming. I burst through the door. Mango had her on the bed, and he was on top of her. I went through a flash of rage as I dove for him. I pulled him off of her. I was glad to see that she was fully clothed. I had got there just in time.

  “You. How did you get in here?” Mango said.

  “Don't kill him,” Keyna said to me. He saw the anger on my face.

  “Are you all right, Vicki?” I asked. She was looking at me with big eyes. She was completely surprised.

  “How did you… where? I am all right,” she said getting off the bed and moving far away from Mango.

  "I should kill you for taking what is mine,” I said holding up my life to him.

  Mango laughed. “You cannot kill me.” I took a step toward him.

  “Don't. Remember what I said,” Keyna said stepping toward me.

  “I want you to remember this moment. I want you to remember that the only reason you will stay alive is because I decided not to kill you. Know that I could,” I said stepping toward him.

  "You will never get out of here alive,”
he said.

  I looked at Keyna. How are we going to get out of here, because as soon as K8L was left alone, he would call his guards?

  “Leave that to me,” Keyna said as he walked toward K8L.

  “What are you doing?” Mango said.

  “Hold him,” Keyna said to his team. Tila, Yivo, and Mabi, held Mango down. Mango opened his mouth to yell for the guards just as Keyna pulled on a wire on the back of his head. Mango fell to the floor.

  “I thought you said not to kill him,” I said.

  “I did not. I just disabled him. They will be able to re-activate him in no time. Put him on the bed. It will make him look like he is sleeping. We have to get out of here now,” Keyna said.

  The others put K8L on the bed.

  “Nancy, we have to get Nancy; she is in the next room,” Vicki said heading for the door.

  “Nancy?” I said.

  “She is another human that was with me when you took us from Earth. We cannot leave her here. I won't leave without her,” she said opening the door.

  “Wait, let us make sure it is clear,” I said.

  I looked out the door. The hallway was empty. I nodded to Vicki. She quickly ran out, and we followed her, closing the door to the room that K8L was in. She opened the door to another room.

  “Vicki. What happened? I heard you screaming,” the other human said. I walked in.

  “You again,” Nancy said.

  “No time to talk, Nancy; they are here to rescue us. Let's go,” Vicki said to the other human.

  “You don't have to tell me twice,” Nancy said.

  We lead them down the hallway back to our escape in the floor. We were lucky. We had only had to take out two cyborgs and disable the leader. I knew that he would be pissed off about it and want revenge, but I could deal with that later.

  “We are going down there?” Nancy said as Keyna open and the tile on the floor.

  “Or you can stay here,” I said to her.

  She gave me a look. I help to Vicki down the ladder and Nancy followed.

  “Gross, it's the sewer,” Nancy said.

  We all made it inside and Keyna slid the tile back in place. Then he turned on the red light of his wristband and led the way.

  “We don't have much time. We have to get to the ship,” he said.

  We quickly ran as fast as we could in the darkness through the inch of water in the pipes.

  “We are almost there. Keep up,” Keyna said.

  I had Vicki's hand in mine. She squeezed it. I knew she was telling me thank you. I knew that she was telling me that she was glad that I showed up. I was glad that I had her again, but I wouldn't be able to enjoy it until we were completely out of there.

  “Look, the end of the tunnel,” I said as the light from outside came in as we approach the end. Keyna opened the iron gate, and we all ran out.

  Tila closed the gate and then welded it back together. It looked like it had never been touched.

  “Hurry, let's get back to the ship,” Keyna said.

  We all ran in a group back to the ship. We boarded quickly.

  “Get us out of here, now,” Keyna said.

  Chapter 18

  Vicki Varsa

  I was so incredibly happy to see Alicron. When he burst into the room with a team at his back, I could not believe that he was really there. It took me a second to process what was going on. Then I felt complete relief seeing that beautiful tall blue alien again. Only minutes before K8L had pulled me from the room with Nancy and took me into this room. I did not know or want to know what he was going to do to me. But he made it very clear that he was angry that I had escaped the first time and that he was going to claim me. That was when I started shouting, and I was glad that I did because it led Alicron right over to me.

  Now we were on a strange ship that I had never seen before. It belonged to the team that was with him. I recognize them as the Lana that were in the marketplace. I didn't know how Alicron had managed to team up with them, but I was grateful for all of it. Not only did they rescue me, but they also rescued Nancy. She had been with the damn cyborgs for a very long time.

  "I never thought I would be happy to see the alien that took me from my home planet, but I am,” Nancy said sitting on a bench against the wall on the ship.

  “You are welcome,” Alicron said to her. Then he looked at me. He was angry.

  “Do you want to tell me exactly how that cyborg took you?” he said coming toward me. “Did I not specifically order you to stay by my side when we were at the transmission station inside the village?” he said.

  “What village?” Nancy asked.

  “You can't order me around. I will do what I want, when I want. I have already told you one million times you don't own me,” I said getting in his face.

  “Would you like me to return you to the cyborg?” he asked narrowing his light brown eyes at me.

  “You know I don't want to be there. But just because I do not want to be with the cyborgs does not mean that I am going to let you own me like property,” I said.

  “You are my property. I am the one that found you. I have already claimed you. Something that you obviously enjoyed, or did you already forget?” he said.

  “Claimed you? What is he talking about?” Nancy said. But we continued to ignore her as we argued.

  “I told you after that happened that it changed nothing. I still hate you. Did you forget that you took me against my will from my home planet? The fact that you had to rescue me from that crazy cyborg K8L is not something I should have to thank you for because it is your fault I am on this planet to begin with. If you would not have taken me, then I would not have needed rescuing from him,” I said poking my finger into his strong stomach.

  “What is going on between you two?” Nancy said. Again we ignored her.

  “And I told you that I cannot keep you out of danger if you do not listen to me. Do I have your word that he will not do it again? I can't continue to take the time to rescue you again and again if you are not going to obey me,” he said.

  “Obey? You want me to obey you? I will not. Yes, I will stay by your side for protection only. But that does not mean that I am doing it because I obey you,” I said.

  He stepped closer to me. He was towering over me with only an inch between us. I tilted my head back to look up at him. He stared down at me in silence. The heat between us was growing intense. I could feel the chemistry again. Damn, he was hot. The fact that he had gone through so much trouble to rescue me was very attractive. I wanted to thank him in other ways. I wanted to touch him. I wanted to kiss him. But I was still angry with how he was talking to me. He leaned over me like he was going to kiss me.

  “What the hell is going on between you two? Do you want to fill me in on what is going on? You seemed to leave something out when you told me what you were up to you while you were gone,” Nancy said to me.

  Her words pulled me away from my dirty thoughts about this tall blue alien. I stepped away from him and cleared my throat. “It's nothing, Nancy,” I said taking a seat next to her.

  “It wasn't nothing last night,” he mumbled under his breath and gave me a wink.

  Nancy gasped and looked at me.

  My face turned a bright red. “Where are we going now? Did you find out about the others? What about my friend Bridget?” I asked trying to change the subject.

  “We are going back to the village Cantu. I have to check on the transmission that I sent, and I owe this team payment for a job well done. This time you will not be leaving my side, or you either,” he pointed at Nancy.

  “I don't want to go back to the cyborgs. I won't leave your view,” she said.

  “Why can't you be more like this human,” he said to me and then walked out of the room toward the front of the ship with the other aliens.

  “You dirty whore. You slept with an alien? Are you out of your mind?” Nancy whispered to me.

  “I don't want to talk about it,” I said crossing my arms and being
angry at Alicron.

  She was silent for a minute. But not for long.

  “How was it?” she asked.

  “I told you I don't want to talk about it,” I said.

  A few minutes later, the ship was stopping. We were back in the trading Village. We were back in the spaceport that I had been abducted from. I felt stupid being back there. I thought I had been so cool and brave to try to find a way back to Earth on my own, only to mess things up.

  “We are here. Remember what I said. Stay at my side, both of you. We are going straight to the transmission station,” Alicron said walking into the room. The team followed him.
