Retribution: Sarah's Story

[Leo]

I woke up to the taste of something sticky and tasted like metal. I figured it was blood but I didn't pay any attention to the feeling of it, the pain in my abdomen was enough to make me want to vomit. I didn't hear any sound at first, I thought I was blind and deaf, but soon my senses came back to me one by one.

Touch. I felt the floor, cold as ice and smooth as metal. I deduced it was a ships floor, not my parents transport, the entire thing was carpeted in the cockpit and quarters.

Smell. The room smelt like metal and equipment. Kind of like a hospital but cleaner. I smelt something burning, but paid no attention to it.

Taste. The taste of iron and stickness came back even stronger and make me almost puke again.

Sight: I opened my eyes to see nothing but grey, the rooms floor more likely.

That's when the worse sense of all came back at once. Sound. I heard screams, a woman and man both.

"These are incompatable." said a man. "Dispose of their bodies." I heard someone get hit with a fist, or hand, and someone curse. "You said there was someone compatable on that god's damned ship Autumn. Are you lying to me?"

"Never General. I did detect someone on board that transport. We still have that girl that we took off too. She was out like a light from a console explosion, but we managed to get her back to the cell next door."

"No!" I heard my mother scream. "Leave Sarah alone!"

"SILENCE WENCH." said the man and I heard a gunshot. I flinched at the sound and began to look around the room for a way out, but found my body immobile. I cursed my own luck. All the times my mother told me to exercise incase I was captured by someone on a trading mission, and I never listened, I was paying for it now. The cell door opened and I stopped moving, closing my eyes.

"Get up little bitch." said the big man and kicked me hard in the stomach. I vomited up my last meal on the floor and coughed and sputtered. He pulled me to my feet with his powerful arms and sat me down standing up. I looked up and saw his face for the first time, the man who murdered my mother, or so I thought at the time. "You're a scrawny one. But you're our last hope, take her to the room."

I was drug out of the room by my hair. I fell to the ground screaming and kicking, before long we entered a circular room with strange beds that laid at an incline against the wall. I saw my father, his eye's torn from his sockets and the nerves hanging out of them, his jaw was ripped off, along with some of his teeth, his tongue hung lazily out of his mouth. I gagged and vomited on myself again at the sight and saw my mother crying, holding her arm with a bullet hole in it.

"Tie her down and make sure the little bitch doesn't get lose, her mother was enough of a struggle, the daughter is more than likely the same. I had my way with her mother, but I don't see having my way with a 15 year old any fun. At least her mother put up a fight. Activate the sequence. I want to see if she's compatable."

A huge laser came down pointed at the bridge of my nose and activated. I screamed at first, the laser tearing into my nose and into my brain, but then everything went black, and I returned to the darkness.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
