as Vat or the
others didn’t seem to notice. When business concluded, they headed back in
the same direction they had come. As
they rounded the corner, they met six armed yellow men with short swords drawn. Vat and his men stopped just short of running
into them. As they quickly took in the
situation, they drew their weapons as the fight began. While Kenzie watched with fear and
fascination, she didn’t notice the other yellow man
sneaking up behind her until his hand came around and covered her mouth.
Vat fought with skill as he struck down
one, and then another. The Rahu were
attacking and for what reason? They had
never had any problems here before. They didn’t like to visit, but it always ended
peaceful. Not this time. As the last Rahu fell, he looked to see how
the other males fared. Everyone remained
unscathed except Kam , who had a gash in his side, and
was bleeding profusely. “We need to
leave.” As he turned, he noticed Kenzie
was missing. “Where is the female?” They all looked around, and realized she
could have only gone down the same corridor they had just came from.
“ Kaith , you come
with me. Saldu ,
you stay with Kam in case any other Rahu show
up.” Vat and Kaith turned and headed back down the corridor.
The yellow male dragged
Kenzie back to Orian’s office. With the door now shut and locked, she found
herself pushed face first against the wall. She could feel the evidence of his
arousal as he leaned into her from behind. With his mouth next to her ear, he
said with a revolting tone. “You are a most unusual female, but very exotic
looking. I have never seen anyone like
you before.” He let his hands roam her
body, then grabbed her shirt and ripped it in front. “I’m going to fuck you,
and when I tire, I will give you to Oso and let him have a turn. Eventually I will make a lot of credits when
I sell you to a pleasure house.” She
could feel his hand under her shirt as he cupped her breast. As her whole body shook, tears fell freely
down her face. What had she got herself into. She should have stayed on the ship. Better yet, she shouldn’t have ran away from Tolan to start with, well she didn’t really run away from
him, she just panicked like she was doing now.
She didn’t hear
the loud crash or notice when the pressure of Orian’s body left her back. She just fell to the
floor, rolled to a fetal position, and cried. She barely noticed when someone picked her up and carried her off.
Vat found Orian’s door locked and didn’t hesitate when he broke it
down. When he entered, he found the
female pressed against the wall with Orian behind
her. He threw him against a wall before
gathering her into his arms. Both Rahu
males were lucky he only left them unconscious. “See if he has any equipment we can use to update our translators.” Vat
instructed Kaith . As he searched, Vat looked down at the small female he held in his
arms. She had her face buried in the
curve of his neck, and he could hear her quietly sobbing. “You’re Ok now. I have you.”
When Kaith finished his search, they left and found Saldu and Kam . Kam’s bleeding hadn’t even slowed
down, and this caused Vat great concern. It didn’t look good for his friend.
By the time they made it back to his
vessel, she seemed calmer; at least the shaking had stopped. Vat sat her down, and found something to
cover her with as her shirt was torn. He
wiped her face and offered her a small smile. “I’m sorry that this happened to you. We shouldn’t have taken you there.”
Kenzie looked at Vat with relief as he had
saved her. When he offered her a smile,
his fangs showed. They would scare
anyone, but not her. She through her
arms around his neck, as she felt safe with him around. “Thank you,” she said,
