Hi all! Hope everyone is healthy and happy! I'm once again going to try and rotate my stories so it may be a while before I update this one again. Please check out my other stories and have a great week!
Pidge and Krolia silently enter the room and close the door, with Pidge quietly re-locking the door, making sure that nothing is amiss. Pidge motions for Krolia to move to the left while she will sweep the right, and surprisingly enough, she understands. As they move in sync, Pidge sees Keith, just standing with his back to her, staring out the window. They both start but continue to move cautiously, eyes glitzing back and forth just in case someone is around. Finally, Keith must have felt a presence of someone because he turns abruptly and yells, "Now what?!"
Their gazes all intersect simultaneously, with everyone freezing. Then is Keith moving forward, closing the gap to them. Both ladies also move forward, as well, with Keith grabbing Pidge first and then his mom enveloping them both. Keith manages to move an arm so he is also holding him mom tight and they just stand in this tight little circle. Pidge just breathes in Keith's scent reassuring herself that he is okay. This is home. And for just a moment, this one moment, all is well.
Until Keith suddenly pushes back exclaiming, "What the HELL are you both doing here? You just put yourself in danger! Look at me Pidge." His grip on Pidge's arm is suddenly very tight as he tries to get her to look into his eyes.
Krolia interjects, "We came to rescue you. Do not take this out on the small one."
"But the Blades are negotiating my release." Keith returns only to furrow his brow, "Or am I being lied to?"
"No, they are. But once I heard you were captured; and a rescue was not being formed, I went to get help. Did you really think I would just let you go? Never again. I'm not failing again." Krolia retorted while moving back crossing her arms and looking down at Keith with a very intimidating look.
Conversely, Pidge's arm was still securely held by Keith's hand when two very tall beings burst through the door. Keith reacted by thrusting her behind him and using his body as a shield for her. Krolia simultaneously took point in front of them both. God they were the same!! And annoying. She could protect herself.
"Halt!!! You are in violation of the negotiations and will be imprisoned." Pidge thought the alien was a male, but she wasn't completely sure. They were aliens after all, so distinguishing gender could be a little difficult or even uncertain since certain features do not always indicate the appropriate classification. Her translator was working so that was a plus. However being caught and imprisoned was definitely something she wanted to avoid at all costs.
Then another alien moved from behind the two big ones, very sinuously, and Pidge thought, "Oh yeah, this one is definitely a female." She had longer hair or possibly tentacles, what could be considered make up or some kind of paint and a leaner look than the other two beings who were much broader and solid.
Krolia stood fast, not giving an inch. "This is my son and you have no right to hold him against his will. I have come to take him home. I challenge you for his release."
Pidge is holding on to Keith's arm, leaning over to the left, to see over Keith's shoulder, essentially leaning on him. His hand is now holding onto one of hers tightly. The other is in a fist. She finds herself leaning more into him, trying absorb some of his tension and her thumb is stroking his hand.
The probable male replies, "We are in current negotiations with the Blades. You have no right to interfere with my sister and the negotiations for her mate."
Whoa!!!! I look up to Keith and I can feel his body tense into full battle mode. "I TOLD YOU, I CANNOT BE HER MATE!!! YOU NEED TO LET ME GO!" he yells frustratedly. His one hand swipes through his hair, tugging on it, in his frustration. "Listen to me!"
