Retribution: Sarah's Story

[Leo]

I rose from my chair and began putting my files away when Leo glided up next to me, I hardly noticed him until I saw him standing right next to me, watching everything I did.

Anything I can help you with Leo? I asked with a snarl.

You can do me the favor of shutting up and letting me do my job. He replied with a glare. His eyes were as cold as ice, as was his voice.

What are you talking about? Are you jealous of my report? And here I thought you had almost no emotion unless it meant killing someone or something.

I dont mean your report you stupid bitch. He said. His words were cold to the bone, and the way he said it almost sent a chill up my spine. I mean letting me take care of the job that youre doing now. Youre crossing into my territory, and if you get any closer to taking my job, Ill snap your neck like a twig.

I stared back at him and he returned the favor. Our eyes locked for several minutes and we simply stared at one another. His amber and blue eyes stared into my blue eyes. Tearing away my defenses one by one.

If youre going to take me Leo. Take me, and get it over with. If not, get the hell out of my way.

He took me alright, he came in aggressively and kissed me, his natural human instincts taking over his Nomad ones. I kissed him back, reaching out with my one good hand and slamming the door to my left shut with a loud bang. Leo slammed me up against the wall next to the door and held me in the air kissing me until I lost control and shoved him back. He stared at me with a sexual rage and I stared back at him in complete rapture.

"You know Leo..." I said looking at him. "...you've been being such an evil man these past few weeks."

Leo only smiled. I pressed my body up against his, his right eye twitched slightly and he smiled with such evil that my heart raced.

"What? Is that something you want me to stop doing?" he said.

"Never" I said with boldness. "You're the most devious and evil man that has ever existed, and I'm going to show you what I mean." I said, and brought my lips to his.

We fell over a chair and landed on the table. Several hours later I left the office. Leo was an aggressive man, and even though we were still worlds apart, I felt a strange connection to him. He was a twisted man. Evil beyond comprehension, however he still made my heart race and my blood boil with desire. I shuddered slightly as I thought of the encounter and my eyes lit up even more than usual.

Chase me!

I stopped and looked around. No one was around me.

Chase me daddy!

My head felt like it was going to split open and I felt a surge of memories I had never remembered beforeThe ship, my father, my motherson of a bitchwhat had I been doing for the past three years?! I decided from that point that I would play the role until I found a way out.

Can you hear me Sarah? said a voice in my head.

Who are you? I whispered to myself as I walked around the corner away from traffic that may come down the hall.

Thats not important, what is important is that you steer clear of any memory wiping areas. If the notice you acting the slightest bit strange you will be wiped. Standby, someone is coming the voice said and Leo came jogging to a stop, looking around frantically. Its Leo, talk to him, his memories are back as planned.

As planned?

Leo. Pst. I said at him and beckoned him over. You too?

He only nodded and blushed a deep shade of red when he realized what had just happened between the two of us.

Yeah, about that. He said. His voice sounded different, almost human.

Whatever, we werent us then. Listen, we have to get out of here. I said looking around.

Thats a no brainer. He replied looking around as well. If I find Autumn, we can get out of here.

Autumn? The Generals pet? Are you mad?

Shes my wife. Leo said with a stare back at me. I must have had a totally blank expression because he rolled his eyes. Long story. Maybe another time.

Maybe. I replied staring at him with the same blank stare. Ok, you find your lover, and Ill find a way out of here.

He nodded and ran off while I planned an escape route that would get me the hell out of this maze of metal and lights.

A few minute later I Found a terminal and started looking for the escape route. A soldier walked by and stopped, approaching me.

Commander Sarah? he asked walking near me. I was wondering when the next- I stopped him short.

Cant you see Im busy welp? If you interrupt me Ill cut your balls off and feed them to the rabids.

He hurried off in the direction he was going and I continued looking for a way out. Bingo, there. Now to find Leo and get the hell off this station.

Theyre all Nomads I heard Autumn say.

Impossible. We planned it for three years, I would come out of the memory whatever and I would obtain Allecto in my mind, causing me to take over Tainted and kill the General. Leo replied with hostility in his voice. That was the plan, was it not?

You have to get wiped. We have to take you back.

No, youre one of them too, I wont- and Leo was silent. Damn it, there goes one of my ways out. Guess its time to choose another. But before I got the chance, there was a man standing in front of me. The General.

Hello Sarah, whats going on here?

Nothing sir, just reasearching possible routes of evacuation in case there was a serious attack and we had to escape.

The General looked at me for a long time and his face relaxed.

Good idea. Keep me posted. He said and walked away towards where Leo had gone. Leo was getting re-wiped, and I was still in the clear. I would stay in Tainted, on this ship, until by some miracle, Leo regained his memory, and we were able to-

An explosion and Leo and Takashi both went running across the bridge to the shuttle bay and into the bay itself. Several other Tainted soldiers were chasing them, but werent fast enough. I decided to play the part and chase after them. I grabbed a rifle and began the chase. Leo saw me running after them and I only winked as I started to fire at them. He returned fire and made it through the door just as it closed.

Son of a bitch! The General screamed. Sarah, get through that door and make sure they dont- but the General was cut short as a shuttle launched and jumped to hyperspace, the General roared even louder and struck the wall. Get them back damn it Sarah. Do it now.

Yes, sir. I said with sternness in my voice. Oh, I would get them back, but not in the way you wanted, you sick, twisted, f***.
