  “You’re going to have to lay very still. Don’t move.” She told him.

  Her voice was shaking. She knew that she had to calm herself before she could

  “I’m not going to hurt you. I’m not like them, as you can see.” He stated, shaking his head back and forth.

  She couldn't get over how handsome he was even with the tentacles that he had. He had gorgeous green eyes. He had brown hair sprouting out of the top of his head. She knew that if she ran her hand across it, his hair would feel soft and fuzzy under her fingers.

  Chapter 5

  It wasn’t hard to see that he wasn’t going to hurt her. She was sure that he could, not all of his tentacles were damaged, she was close enough to him that if he wanted to grab her, he would.

  "I want to thank you for rescuing me. I'm so sorry about all of this." She began to apologize again.

  “Please, don’t. You didn’t ask to come here, did you? You weren’t willing to come here.” He shook his head, seeing the answer in her eyes.

  “No, not at all. My friend, she, huh…” Her voice trailed off.

  “It’s too late for your friend. It was too late when she was the one who had said yes.” He stated, letting her know that there was no way that she could go back and save her now. Sally was forsaken.

  “Are they going to kill her?” Eden’s eyes grew wide.

  “No, but she’s bonded to the evil now. The peace that they were talking about. Did you take the time to listen?” He asked.

  “No.” She shook her head and got the needle and thread out.

  There was nothing she could find that would ease the pain that he was going to suffer.

  "This is going to hurt. I want you to know so that you're not surprised." Eden looked up into his eyes as she brought the point of the needle to the first deep slice to one of his tentacles.

  He nodded his head and laid it back down on the makeshift pillow behind him.

  Eden concentrated on stitching him up. After the first few stitches, she was more comfortable, and he seemed to be dealing well with the pain.

  “My name is Gorge.” He stated, breathing in and out slowly.

  “Eden.” She was down to the last stitch when they had made the introductions.

  "I'm going, to be honest with you. I don't know how long it will take for them to find us. We are going to have to be quiet for the most part and keep an ear out." He sighed, thankful when she put the needle down and picked up the gauze that she had found in the bathroom.

  “I’d rather hide out here and be quiet than to be out there not knowing what’s going to happen to me.” She nodded her head.

  She sat on the edge of the bed when she finished. Looking at him, not sure what they could talk about now.

  “When this is over, if it’s over, I’m not sure I can get you home. I don’t have the power to do that.” He continued to speak.

  Eden had already thought about not ever going back home. There seemed to be no way out of where they had been brought.

  She knew this because she had tried every which way to get out of the hallways and there was nothing but more hallways.

  That's when she knew. She should've known when they were brought there.

  “How did you get here?” He asked, wanting to pass the time.

  “My friend and I were at a bar. We left, and there were these men following us. I found an abandoned place and thought that it would be safe.” She had left out many details, details that didn’t even matter anymore.

  He nodded his head, lifting himself a little so that he could get into a sitting position.

  “You can’t move around too much. The stitches will break, and I will have to redo them.” She warned him.

  “How’d you learn how to do that?” He asked, hearing what she had said because she watched his eyes grow wide.

  She could see that he didn’t want to be put in that position again.

  "I'm a nurse. Well, I was a nurse." She stated, giving him a small smile.

  What she was and what she wasn’t were two different things now.

  “How does one go about not being at the mercy of the evil deep?” She asked, swallowing hard.

  It took her a lot of courage to sit there and ask him.

  She wanted to know what else was to come if they were caught.

  "Well, they were right. If they catch you. I'm going to fight tooth and nail that you don't go with them. The soldiers are in their hiding places. They know what to do if anyone comes close to this door, but it won't keep the evil deep out of here for long. It's a temporary fix." He began to explain.

  “They will take me, even though I’m not willing.” Eden sighed.

  "They will. I am sure that your friend is at some peace. She was told that the more she did it, the more peaceful things would be. It does work that way. They are using her to create more life here. The Ogres. The deep wants more and more as many as they can have. For battles against different planets and well, humans are strong." He pointed out.

  “Not all of us.” She shook her head back and forth.

  “Eventually your friend will become strong, but when she does, they are going to imprison her and keep her for more reproduction. She will become addicted to servicing the ogres, whole armies of them.” He shook his head.

  “How do I not become one of them? How do I not find myself in the position that my friend is in right now?” She asked him again.

  "You must unite with one of us. With one of us soldiers, they can't touch you if you become part of us." He stated.

  Chapter 6

  Eden thought about that for a second. She couldn't just give herself away. He could see that she was lost in her own thoughts.

  “I would never make you do something that you don’t want to do. I’m not like them. My soldiers aren’t like them. We aren’t going to make you do something knowing damn well that you don’t want to do it.” He assured her.

  Eden gave him a small smile.

  She knew that she was on the right side. No one would ever say something like that. No one unless they were good.

  She nodded her head at him but didn’t look at him.

  "I find it hard is all… I mean I'm a virgin, and I thought it would be simple for my friend to feel the same way as I do but it's evident that she didn't, she was so willing to hand herself over like it was nothing." She blushed.

  “Some humans are like that they don’t have a mind of their own. You can’t fault your friend for doing it though. There are just some humans that are too weak to say no, and she seems like one of them. I mean, that's what's going to get her in the end. Not saying no." He sighed, shaking his head sadly.

  “Either way, this isn’t something that can be changed. Why do you stay here?” She asked, giving him a funny look.

  “I’m not entitled to stay here. I have my own small planet. I came here willingly knowing that they couldn’t touch me even if they wanted to. We are the ones that spin the universe. I can come and go as I please. I try to save as many humans as I can.” He explained.

  “How many have you saved?” Eden thought they had been the only ones. It was clear now that they weren’t the first humans to be taken.

  “Some, not a lot. Maybe one or two. I’ve been too late with the rest, or the ones who were snatched up and brought here gave up way before you did and knew that it was impossible to escape this place, the second they saw the Ogres.” He groaned.

  “Fear kept them grounded here.” Eden nodded her head.

  "Something like that. I haven't been back home in a while. I can leave when I want. I can even sneak you out and bring you to my planet, but there's no way that I can bring you back to yours. I don't know how to do that." He was honest with her.

  Eden liked that he could be so honest with her.

  Sometimes the truth hurt, but she would rather be told the truth than to sit there and listen to a lie and find out later that the person was full of
shit.

  “Thank you for being so honest with me. Are you sure there’s no way that I can save my friend though? There’s no possible way?” Eden wanted reassurance.

  She would do anything to help Sally if she could.

  “Was she willing to leave with you? Did she look at you like she wanted help at all when you were in that room?” He asked her.

  "No, she didn't want to leave, I could see that for myself," Eden muttered.

  "Then there's no way that you would be able to convince her now. Once they have her, once they were inside of her, it was too late. If there had been some way that you could've talked to her before, then that would've been the time." His voice was soft. He could tell that she was hurt.

  “Yeah, no, she was more than willing. She didn’t even look my way when I tried backing away from them in the beginning. It was like I was invisible to her. After all that I’d done for her.” Eden felt betrayed by her now.

  "Don't see it like that. Ogres have a powerful hold on people. Their eyes, their voices. The way they move. They act incredibly harsh because that's who they are. If they need to convince anyone of what they are doing, they will put on the charm just like anyone else.” He shrugged his shoulders.

  Eden thought about it. It was like eating a poisoned apple. One bite and that was it. It seemed that was what had happened to Sally. They were no different than the humans on planet earth.

  “We need to heal you.” She began changing the subject.

  The last thing that she wanted to think about was Sally and how she couldn’t get her out of the awful situation that she was in.

  This had been the only time that she couldn’t get her out of something, and she felt as if it was her fault.

  Though she knew deep down that it wasn’t.

  “How long do you think it will take for you to heal?” She asked, not knowing because he was of a different creature.

  “Not long, it shouldn’t. I haven’t been cut up like this before.” He looked down at his tentacles. They were sore and throbbing.

  He didn't want to tell her that he hurt. He didn't want to say to her that he was in any pain. He could sense that she was the type of human who carried a lot on her shoulders.

  She looked around the room. She knew that there wasn't going to be a way for her to get back to earth. She knew that she couldn't stay here and give herself to the evil deep. She wasn't going to let anyone take her. Not without her permission.

  Her first time would have to be her own choice. She was not manipulated by things of a different planet. And not by force. There was no way that she could do that. No way that she would allow that.

  Chapter 7

  The more she talked with Gorge, the more she understood what he was like. What his soldiers were like. She realized that not all of them were bad. She had a sense right away that they were nothing like the monsters.

  “What are those monsters?” She asked, talking about the ones that had her before the soldiers had rescued her.

  "They are a creation. Do you know when you went into that abandoned place? There was a little man. That was his shape. The Ogre was in human form when he was down there. He was working on an experiment. Well, that's how the monsters came about. One of his experiments on humans that had gone wrong and the bubbly boils on them had stayed, there was no way to heal them, or he didn't want to heal them. Their temperament was horrible from the get-go. Taking the angry humans and combining them turned them into monsters." He explained.

  She looked at him as if he had two heads.

  “You can’t teach someone how to have a good heart. You have to be born with that, and even I know that. The humans that don't have a pure heart. They don't know the act of kindness, well, they are turned into monsters to protect the Ogres if anyone goes to war against them." He explained in further detail.

  “Do you think that is going to happen any time soon?” She murmured.

  Eden remembered the circle of Ogres, and she was sure that those weren't the only ones around the place she was in. She had seen the monsters, and she would be dumb to think that those were the only monsters that they had.

  “Yes. I think that when I get back to my planet, we are going to come down on them. This can’t continue to happen. We can’t have this happening and think that it’s okay. It’s not okay. None of it’s okay.” Gorge shook his head.

  “Were you once human? Were you an experiment?” She asked, looking at his tentacles that were getting larger.

  She could see that the more he moved, the less pain he was in she couldn't see the cuts. They were hidden under bandages and gauze. There was nothing that she could see that showed that he was healing.

  However, she could see his tentacles getting harder and harder, just like the Ogres tentacles when they had taken Sally. She couldn’t stop looking at them.

  “How about we take off the bandages and see where we are at?” He asked, clearing his throat.

  She bit her lips and looked up at him. She could see that he was sweating. She wasn't sure of what. She was convinced that he was nervous about the bandages though. About taking them off and hoping that the slices were gone.

  She didn’t manage they would be. That would be crazy. Then again, she had seen crazy things happen right in front of her. Never thinking that any of what she’d seen even existed.

  There were a few things that she was sure of. It was dark. She did know that. She didn't know what day she was, didn't know what time it was. For her, time was a big deal, and now, now it was like it didn't even exist. Where she had come from didn’t exist.

  “Eden?” He asked her when she saw that he was asking again.

  "Sorry." She blushed, smiling at him.

  She began to undo the bandages, taking the gauze off slowly and she had to blink a few times before she could believe what she was seeing.

  The slices were gone, they were healed as if it had been nothing.

  She took off the other bandages quickly and heard Gorge laugh a little.

  "We have a few powers I didn't think that it would all heal that quickly though. I thought it would be a few days, to say the least." He nodded his head.

  The smile on his face, it was handsome. So gorgeous. She made eye contact with him, and she felt her heart flutter in her chest.

  She always thought ahead, always the responsible one and she had thought about her situation more and more while she was stuck in the room.

  Eden couldn't take her eyes off his. She couldn't stop staring at his beautiful eyes, and she felt her heart shaking. She felt her head spinning.

  “What had he asked her?" When she didn't talk to him when she didn't say anything.

  The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable. He could sense that. She was very comfortable sitting on the edge of the bed. Taking care of him, keeping him company though she really didn’t have a choice.

  The more they talked, the more they got to know one another.

  She looked down, biting her lips.

  “I know that something is weighing heavy on your mind. I know it.” He whispered to her.

  “You’re going to think that I’m crazy.” She felt her face grow hotter and hotter. She wasn’t sure if she could even get the words out of her mouth.

  “I won’t, have you seen the Ogres? Have you seen the monsters that held you? That’s crazy. Nothing coming out of your mouth will surprise me.” Gorge stated, nodding his head.

  He encouraged her, gave her the confidence to get the words out of her mouth.

  “I want you to be my first.” She murmured, biting down on her lip.

  Her voice had been soft all this time, they had to whisper, or she wasn’t going to survive this mess she was in.

  She didn't want anyone finding out where they were. Where she was, she didn't want to be like Sally, and that's precisely what they were going to do to her if they caught her.

  The room was quiet. She looked at Gorg
e, and she did see a surprised look on his face. She did know that he wasn't sure what to say to what she had told him.

  Chapter 8

  “Say something.” She told him, bouncing on the bed slightly.

  No response was killing her. She wasn’t sure if she could stand another second of it. There was no way that she could

  "I think that's very noble of you. Have you thought about what you are saying?" He asked her, not thinking she had thought it through.

  "Yes, I know what I'm doing. I know that I don't want to be here. I know that I don't want to be with Sally. I know that sooner or later they are going to find me and when they do, I'm going to be at their mercy. They aren't looking to kill me since I didn't offer myself up, they are going to take me. I want to give it to someone willingly. And that's you." She explained her thoughts to him.

  She smiled at him, knowing that this is she wanted, she was feeling an attraction to him that felt so right, and she knew that this would be a way to save herself from being sacrificed to the ogres. She knew that she was never going to see Sally again, well, not the way she had once been.

  Eden moved a little closer to him on the bed, she brought a hand to one of his tentacles and began stroking it, sliding her hand up and down it until it was pulsing inside her hand.

  Gorge moaned for her, closing his eyes. Not the least surprised that she would be the one to start it since she had already told him what she wanted.

  He brought one of his tentacles to her blouse, slipping it in and out, loosening the buttons on her shirt and she already felt her nipples getting hard for him.

  The more he touched her gently, the more she was turned on for him.

  She knew that she had to be quiet. That they both had to be quiet if they were going to do this. There was no way that they could get caught now.

  Eden knew when it was done. They wouldn't be able to touch her. They wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

  Eden brought her mouth to his and maneuvered herself so that she was laying on the bed next to him.
