Honeymoon

[Loyola]

Enma completely lost any count of time by the time when Eliza got to Tau-23. She had no ability to count time as she was locked without any proper devices to keep track on it. Only small alert device that was hidden in her heel, it was used, but later Eliza found and took away even that. She also had no idea about her possible location. They made a stop on some stations, but her eyes were tied up with cloth. Eliza did not even want to feed her properly, or just could not. How much time have passed anyway? Weeks? Months?

Loyola have so many more questions to ask, but Eliza never answered any of them. Maybe they are already in Omegas where Eliza will just get rid of her. Maybe she is about to get transfered to the Order or someone else. She got tried of those thoughts during the first days, or the time period that she considered to be the first days. Anyway, she was moving from the point A to the point B, but after all this time she did not believe that those two are even real.

Over the days, she had more and more weird dreams and this whole situation first made her paranoid, and then apathic. She was remembering her life, her finest hours. Donna Loyola, where now to go without your ship and a fleet? The victory is for sure right ahead. She thought, feeling disgust to herself and everything that she saw around. Why is she not yet saved? It seems like the others have betrayed her too. She just imagined how her Sabre is being hit some other ship, that is blured and exploding very slowly. Well, then that would be my finish. Locked in some smelly cargo hold, and in a few months no one will even notice my absence. Enma closed her eyes not to see the reality and heavily sighed. But be honest, when did you care when some else died? Talking to herself in her mind became the only source of entertainment.

Once she's woken up by the sounds of her cargo hold starting to open. At the very same moment she heard a male voices, but did not manage to understand any words. If I am going to die, I will do that right now. She thought, hidding in the corner, she prepared herself to attack. It's not like she ever was any relevant in the close range combat, she just wanted to end it. As two man walked in, Enma furiously jumps at one of them, but instantly being punched by the heavy boot right into her belly. After feeling a couple more of hits, one of the soldiers finally using his shocker.

After being literally shocked, Enma felt like she was brought out of the cargo hold. She realized that her hands are behind her back, apparently in handcuffs. Few moments later, she's recognizing Eliza staying next to her. Random lights here and there are hurting her eyes. However, that's enough to realize that they both are surrounded. Enma again looked at Eliza, trying to realize what is even going on, but Eliza seems to be shocked too. Still feeling a pain from the hits and the shock, she tried to recognize the uniform, which just by the colour seem to be Royalist. That was something she did not expect.

Then she just recognized one of the faces that were surrounding them. This person appeared to be in charge for everything that is happening here. She could get it by the way of how others stayed near her. It was a person who approved their honeymoon trip. At this very moment she lost any sense of reality and thought that it's all just some delusional hallucinations.
