Gamma Stellaris

Chapter 14

        Xkmotg stared at the girl, Leane, as she panted for shallow breaths. Ngxurj and Punte had decided to make the girl their pet and although she thought it wasn't creative, it should have a pretty good chance of breaking the girl.

        Sure the otlorzxgzout hruh read all of her memories, but she wanted the satisfaction of seeing the girl crack.

          "What do you want from me?!" Leanne hissed softly.

        Punte kicked the girl hard in the stomach and she let out a small gasp. "How many times do I have to tell you not to speak unless asked to?!"

          Xkmotg studied her for a few moments. A red leather collar with a large bell was fastened tightly around her neck and there was a short leash attached to it. Her arms shook beneath her but she didn't make any move to push herself to her feet.

         "Are you ready to tell me where those other pests are?"

         "No way."

        She got kicked in the stomach so hard that a small amount of vomit gushed out of her mouth. She winced as she let out a small gag.

        "Someone clean that up." Xkmotg hissed.

          Punte quickly nodded, rushing off. "Yes ma'am."

         "There's no reason you have to be treated so poorly." Xkmotg said softly, kneeling beside the girl and sweeping a piece of hair behind her ear. "All you have to do is answer one easy, simple question and maybe I could make things more comfortable for you."

        "Piss off!"

        Ngurj kicked her in the stomach again, and she let out a small sob as tears started to sting her eyes.

        Xkmotg grabbed her chin, forcing Leanne to look her in the eyes. "Don't you think it'd be nice to have a real bed? Maybe I could arrange to get you some food from your planet? Doesn't that sound nice?"

         "For starters, you already have food from Earth on the ship, so don't use that like some huge bargaining chip. And there's no way I would ever rat out my friends to some self righteous, ugly, octopus!"

          Xkmotg attached one of her tentacles to Leanne's forehead with a growl. She sent a large pulse through her tentacle and Leanne let out a scream before collapsing, her eyes rolling into the back of her head.

        That girl was sure enduring a lot for being weak enough to be knocked out by only one pulse. 

        Humans were quite the paradox to her sometimes.

        "Are you done with her?" Ngxurj asked.

         "For now."

         He nodded and grabbed Leanne's wrist, dragging her out of the room.

        Xkmotg was feeling annoyed as hell. Even though they had read Leanne's memories, that still gave them no hints as to where the rest of her pest-like friends were now. And they had already abandoned the classroom.

        Maybe... maybe she just needed a way to draw them out of hiding.

         Slowly, a smirk stretched across her lips. Surely those pests would show up if she made the execution of the silly teacher a public event.

         After all, how could they let someone die that had helped them out so much?

        Xkmotg excitedly flung the door to her office open and walked in, propping her feet up on her desk as she logged into her computer.

        She quickly typed up an invitation to her execution and sent it to everyone on the Gamme Stellaris.

          Surely, it wouldn't take long for those pests to catch word about it.

        And when they came coming, she'd be waiting.
