  “She is very upset. She thinks that she is likely to be put to death without a trial and treated as a traitor,” Wendy shared with me.

  “Unfortunately, I think she is right. I would free us all right know if they didn’t have me under the control of this neutralizer. I can’t use my mind control powers or telekinesis. I also can’t turn into a vapor, but at least I can get messages to the others through you. If you would, please tell Jessie that I love her and that I am trying my best to work on a plan for our escape once we reach Earth.”

  “I will tell her,” Wendy said with a smile. I waited for what seemed like hours before she finally returned with a message from Jessie.

  “She says that she loves you too, and that is what keeps her going. However, she is really upset and says that she is afraid of dying. She is starting to lose hope and says that if she doesn’t see you again, she will always treasure the time that you spent together.”

  I stood up in my cell and took a deep breath. “Tell her that we will definitely see each other again and that I will find a way to free her and David, no matter what! Tell her not to lose hope!” Wendy nodded her head and left just in time. The human named James came walking by the cell and stopped to look at me.

  “Just wait, you Karkastian. When we get to Earth, you will get what’s coming to you. If I had my way, I would have a chance to execute you myself. In fact, I am going to ask the general to allow it,” he jeered.

  “I am not afraid to die. I can join my loved ones in the ether. This life is only one aspect of our existence. You don’t scare me,” I said, fearlessly.

  “Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, but when it’s time to die, I’ll bet you are going to scream like a little girl.” He laughed at me and walked away. Wendy came back one last time to talk to me that night.

  “Jessie seemed to cheer up when I gave her your last message.”

  “Good, how about David? Are they treating him well?”

  “They have him in a cell not too far from Jessie. They want to trial him for treason as well, but technically he is no longer a citizen of Earth, so I don’t know if they will be able to get away with it.”

  “Good, I guess that one of us may be treated fairly,” I said as I shook my head.

  “I wouldn’t bet on it. They have ways of bending the rules when they want something. Let’s just hope they don’t get their way. Look, Jessie wanted you to know that she will be ready when you work out your plan to free yourself.” Wendy had to leave quickly as the captain began to walk in our direction.

  “Wendy, I want you to get to your station. We will be landing very shortly. I sure hope that you haven’t aided the traitors in any way. If I find out you have, there will be a hell to pay!” Captain Henson shouted.

  “Yes sir,” She answered feebly and went to her station.

  As we prepared for landing, I looked out of the nearest window at Earth. It looked like a beautiful blue mass with white clouds swirling above its surface. Once we got closer, I was able to see brown landmasses amongst the blue, which I presumed to be large bodies of water. I was amazed at the amount of water on the planet compared to my own. It looked like a wonderful place to live, but for us, it was a place that we needed to escape in order to keep ourselves from being executed.

  Once we landed, I looked out and saw a very crowded area around us. There were raised platforms and tall, gleaming towers that were bustling with humans moving back and forth. Jessie told me that at once, the Earth cities were far less crowded. Now, the population of humans was out of control. Hover cars crowded one another, honking at one another and causing a lot of commotion.

  About an hour after we had landed, they unlocked my cell and put a silver headset device onto my head. I guessed that this had to be another type of neutralizer to keep me from transforming and using my powers. They bound my hands and yanked me out of my cell.

  “Move, you wretched Karkastian!” a young soldier said. I did as he told me to, having very little choice in the matter. As we walked out of the ship and onto the platform, a group of humans came over and began to shout at me. Some of them threw rocks and other items.

  “You are going to get yours, you terrorist!” One of them shouted. I tried not to look at them. I kept my head down and tried to tell myself that these humans were just misguided. I knew because of Jessie and Wendy that not all humans felt the way these people did.

  I was taken through the doors of a very large, rectangular building which looked to be part of a very large military complex. There were men and women coming and going in all directions, all of them wearing the same olive drab uniform. We walked up several scaffolds and through several doors until we came to a large cell block. There were aliens of every description sitting in the cells looking very dejected. I was shoved into a cell next to an evil-looking Sarceastian. He shot me a glare and I frowned at him.

  I sat there for the longest time looking all around me. The cells stretched all of the way up to the ceiling and occupied several floors below me. There were no windows to reveal the surroundings outside of the prison. I tried to use my mental powers to reach out to Jessie, wherever she was, but the device made it impossible for me to do so. Finally, I sat down in the corner of the cell and closed my eyes. I wouldn’t be able to execute any plan of escape until someone opened the cell.

  Finally, after what seemed like hours, I overheard a male prison guard talking to a female one.

  “That’s the Karkastian that the traitor fell in love with,” the male guard told the female.

  “Wow, he’s rather handsome,” she said.

  “Well, have your fun with him while you can, I won’t tell anyone. He’s going to be executed tomorrow I hear,” the male told her.

  The woman began to raise an eyebrow at me. She was tall with short, dark hair and very muscular. I looked over at her and began to devise a plan of escape. I smiled at her and winked.

  “I never knew Karkastians could be so good-looking,” she said as she continued to look me over.

  “You’re not too bad yourself,” I answered, doing the same thing.

  “Since you are going to be executed tomorrow, maybe I can show you a good time. It will be better than any last request you could want.” She winked back at me.

  “I would be more than happy to take you up on that offer, but I need you to take this device off of my head if you really want me to perform properly,” I told her. She looked at me skeptically but then began to unlock the cell.

  “Don’t try anything,” she said as she shut the door of the cell and pulled out a laser gun. Then, she moved closer to me and ran her hand down my chest. “Wow, you really are muscular, aren’t you? I bet you have a really nice muscle under those pants.” She ran her fingers over my crotch.

  “You will need to take off the device if you want me to function properly,” I said.

  This female Earthling obviously didn’t realize what powers us Karkastians had so she began to unscrew the device from my head and threw it on the floor. Then, she began to kiss my neck and wrapped her left arm around me. She kept the laser gun pointed at me with her other hand. I tried my best to search her mind and control her thought patterns, but I was unable to do so. It was then that I realized that my mind control powers didn’t work on this planet, although I wasn’t certain why they didn’t. I decided to try my telekinetic powers as the female guard began to kiss my chest and worked her way down my body. I focused on her laser gun with all of my mental powers and was delighted to see it came out of her hands and into mine.

  “What the...?” She said with anger and surprise as I pointed the gun at her.

  “I guess you didn’t know about Karkastian telekinetic powers,” I said with a sly grin.

  She glared at me and put her hands up in the air. “Too bad, I guess you’ll never know how great sex with me can be,” she jeered.

  “Get in the cell. Thank you for freeing me. I hope they aren’t too hard on you for allowing me to escape.” I kind of felt sorry fo
r the dejected woman.

  “Screw you, Karkastian!” she shouted.

  “You keep it quiet!” I said as I pointed the laser gun at her. “I will be leaving now.” I put the gun down and transformed into a blue vapor before her eyes. Then, I began to drift off towards the exit of the prison.

  “Help” Help! The Karkastian has escaped!” she shouted. The male guard that she had been talking to before appeared in front of the cell and other guards began to run towards her with laser guns in their hands.

  “What happened Gina? You need to get your hormones under control. Now look where it’s gotten you! Where did the Karkastian go?”

  “I don’t know, he vanished into a vapor!”

  “What? You must have taken off his neutralizer. Did they not teach you anything about Karkastians in basic training?” The other guards came up as he unlocked the cell. “I need everyone to fan out in all directions. The Karkastian is on the loose. No one will be able to come off of their shift until he is found. Look for a blue vapor traveling through the air. I want him found. He is due to be executed tomorrow and I do not want that to delayed!” he shouted.

  Chapter 2

  Jessie

  The trip back to Earth was agonizing. All I could think about was the horrible fate that awaited us once we landed. As if these thoughts weren’t enough, the crew members would walk by my holding cell and give me a hard time. James, in particular, could not resist any opportunity to give me a piece of his mind.

  “I want to make sure that I have a front row seat when they execute you,” he jeered. I sat there with my head between my knees and did not answer him.

  “It’s too bad. I sure could have shown you a good time, but now, you had to have sympathy for a terrorist alien. I hope it was worth betraying your country and sacrificing your own life!”

  “Yahn is not a terrorist! I simply stopped you from going against your orders. I couldn’t just let you kill him!”

  “You did a whole lot more than that! By the way, all Karkastians are terrorists as far as I’m concerned. The only good ones are the dead ones, and soon their whole race will be extinct. I say good riddance!” He said as he spat on the ground and walked away. My only comfort was Wendy who came and told me that Yahn was working on a plan to free us once we landed on Earth. As long as we were both still alive, I had reason to hope and that was all that kept me going at that stage. Soon I could see the Earth below us through a nearby window. Its familiar blue glow and fluffy white clouds would normally be a welcome sight for me. However, under the circumstances, it was the last place in the universe I wanted to be. I put my head between my knees and began to cry again, thinking of the fate that awaited me once landed. I knew that I would probably get to see my parents one last time before I was executed, and I dreaded seeing the look of disappointment on my father’s face. Like most Earthlings, he thought that Karkastians were all evil and I knew there was no way that he would ever understand the love that I felt for Yahn.

  Just before we started our descent towards Earth, Wendy came over to my cell.

  “How are you, girl?” she asked, putting her hand up to the invisible barrier between us.

  “Not so great. Look, I wanted to thank you for relaying messages back and forth between us. I know that puts you at risk, and the last thing I want is for you to get into trouble.”

  “It’s the least I can do. Look, I don’t know how I know this, but I get the feeling that everything is going to be alright somehow. It’s just a hunch, but I thought I would share it with you,” she shared, hopefully.

  I smiled. “Thanks. That actually does help. Where there’s hope, there’s life. Can you go and pass along one more message to Yahn before we land? Tell him I’ll be ready once he works out a plan to get us all free.”

  “I will, Jessie. Like I said, I get the feeling that everything is going to be ok so keep the faith sister!” I smiled at her and watched her walk away.

  A few minutes later we began our descent to Earth. As we came close to the surface, I was amazed at how bustling the traffic in Washington was. I had only been gone for a few years, but in that time, I noticed that new towers had been added to the skyline. There seemed to be more hover cars everywhere and here and there I could see people flying about with their jetpacks strapped to their backs. I longed for the quiet forests of Padure. As soon as we landed, two soldiers came and opened my cell. My hands were cuffed and I was led off of the ship. I saw Yahn up ahead being led by other soldiers. A crowd of spectators gathered along the landing ramp. As we walked past them, they began to yell at me.

  “Traitor! I can’t wait to watch them execute you!” One woman yelled.

  “There she is, the one that sleeps with aliens!” a younger man said. I didn’t look at them. I kept walking, holding my head up high with my eyes looking forward. I was led through a side building attached to the main military complex. I guessed that they took me this way to minimize my exposure to the public. Many of them looked as if they would murder me themselves if given the chance. I couldn’t believe how full of hate these fellow Earthlings were. I was taken up several flights of stairs and down several hallways until we came to the prison. There were two wings, one for aliens and one for humans. I was led into the east building where the other human prisoners were housed. As we walked through, the other prisoners began to shout at me. Some of them were saying things that I did not wish to repeat. Needless to say, they were very unkind remarks and some of them were quite vulgar. As I looked up all I could see were floors and floors of prison cells that stretched up to the ceiling. Down below me there were more cells. Although Earth’s technological capabilities had advanced significantly, they still hadn’t addressed the ills that plagued society. I couldn’t think of any planet I had visited that had prisons as crowded as the ones that I saw on Earth.

  I was put in a cell off in a corner where there were no other cells around. I was thankful because I didn’t want to be stared at like a zoo animal. As soon as the cell door was closed behind me, I grabbed the bars and began to cry. I didn’t feel hopeful like Wendy did. I sank to my knees and took a deep breath.

  “I wouldn’t get too comfy. From what I hear you’re to be executed in the public square tomorrow!” the guard hissed at me before walking away. I ignored him.

  After a while, I decided to try and reach out to Yahn, mentally. I knew it was a long shot because more than likely they still had him hooked up to a neutralizer to keep him from using telepathy.

  Yahn are you there? It’s me, Jessie. Are you alright? Where are they keeping you? I waited hopefully for a response.

  I’m here my love, I have managed to free myself. I am still in the cell block, trying to get to you. I am in a vaporous state.

  How did you manage to get free?

  One of the female guards tried to have her way with me. I managed to convince her to take off my neutralizer. She didn’t seem to know too much about the powers of Karkastians, luckily. I managed to turn into a vapor and disappear, but they are looking for me everywhere. Jessie I am going to free you, I promise you that I will find a way.

  Well, you are going to have to try something fast because they are planning on executing me tomorrow in the public square.

  What? Aren’t they going to give you a trial?

  I don’t think that’s going to happen. Traitors usually don’t get such treatment. I have to go, someone’s coming. I felt better knowing that Yahn was free as the guard approached my cell with two people. As they got closer, I realized that the two people behind the guard were none other than my father and mother! My mother looked so much more shriveled and gray than the last time I saw her. Her brown eyes were hollow and I could tell that she had been crying. My father’s nostrils were flared and his brow was furrowed. He too looked older. His hair was thinner and grayer than before.

  Tears filled my eyes as my mother came up to the cell and I reached out her hand through the bars. I grasped it as tightly as I could.

  “Mother, how I�
��ve missed you!”

  “Oh, my dear Jessie how I’ve missed you too! Are they treating you alright?” she asked.

  “I’m ok, but they are going to execute me tomorrow if everything goes the way they’ve planned it.” I looked over at my father who was keeping his distance, still staring on with a distant, angry glance.

  “Jessie, I just want to know what you were thinking,” he finally said.

  “Dad, I don’t expect you to understand what’s happened, but I will try and explain things the best that I can. First off, I watched as one of my fellow soldiers tried to unlawfully execute Yahn, a Karkastian. Our mission was to take prisoners, not execute people. I stopped the soldier from killing Yahn by injuring the soldier. After that, I had to escape in order to keep from being declared a traitor. I managed to stay at large for a very long time and visited several planets. I fell in love with the Karkastian and we tried our best to find a place where we could live in peace. Finally, the expedition crew caught up with us and here I am.”
