My vision finally cleared and my head was pounding. I blinked a few times to get a better view of where I was. It appeared to be a holding cell, with advanced tech. Instead of the regular iron bars, there was a door that slid open and closed.

The interior of the room with dark gray and black, with bright neon green lines emitting small pits of light in the walls. The bed I sat on was hanging a few feet above the floor from a wall that was directly in the line of vision with the cell door.

It was pretty cold in here. Was the AC on?

I pressed my palm to my forehead and groaned. Where exactly was I? Why did the atmosphere feel so different? I felt a bit dizzy like someone ripped my insides out and put them back all in the wrong places.

The door in front of me slid open, and there was a tall man, or at least he appeared to be one. He stood stoic in a dark fitted uniform, with a weapon in his left arm. It was a rectangular machine gun. It frightened me.

The man brushed his short dark brown hair out of his face and motioned me with his hands to Cooke forward. I didn't. I wasn't aware of who or what this man was, so I didn't trust him.

The man rolled his eyes before grabbing me forcefully by my arm and dragging me out of the cell. "No! Wait!" I squirmed around in his grasp. "Where are you taking me!?" He walked with me down a long hallway and into another room.

The doors opened for us automatically and I was shoved inside. Whoever owned this place must've really enjoyed living in dark modernized rooms. There were various machines and devices in the room. I let my eyes roam around, and tried so hard to hold back my fingers from messing around with the technology.

Was I on some sort of spacecraft? I blinked and spun around. I most certainly wasn't on my planet. That's why the atmosphere felt odd. No wonder it was cold.

I heard the sound of the door sliding open again, and I whipped my head around me to see who just walked in. My shoulders stiffened and my legs froze. The familiar woman with long dark brown hair sashayed in. Her eyes lit up when she saw me.

It was Su's older sister, Lu'an. She waved both of her hands at me. "Greetings earthling! It is a pleasure to finally meet with you." She extended both of her arms out to me, and I snatched myself away.

"You!" I clenched my jaw. "Don't touch me you murderer! Where did you bring me? Why am I here?" I had so many questions to ask her. I was angry, flustered, and confused. Who the heck did she think she was, kidnapping me and holding me hostage? Queen of Mars? Might as well be!

"Is it common for humans to greet with such anger these days?" Lu'an blinked at me confused. "I'm afraid that I slacked on my Homosapien studies back when I was in Loohcs. Forgive me for not keeping updated."

"Why did you bring me here as a prisoner?" I spat harshly. "What do you want from me!?"

"Please control your emotions." Lu'an frowned. "You are not a prisoner. You are a guest. I have brought you here to offer you a position. Consider it a reward for doing your job."

"I don't want a position from you! I want to go back home! Let me off this ship!" I shouted and a bunch of men in uniform rushed in with their weaponry. I held my hand up in defense when they aimed their machine guns at me.

Lu'an raised her hands, and they all put their guns away. "I am afraid that I can't let you go back to your home. Very soon, the earth will be destroyed." She shook her head at me. I gasped in horror.

"You can't! My family is still down there! Everyone I care about!" I whined. "Earth is full of innocent people!"

"Oh please," Lu'an walked over to the other side of the room and pushed a button. A bar rose up from the floor and she poured herself a glass of a red slimy drink. "Innocent people?" She laughed and poured another glass of it, before offering it to me. "The word you used just a moment ago, what was it?"
