I awoke to a strange room. It was styled after a human living room, with a bookshelf nestled into the wall in front of me filled with books, a coffee table in front of me and I was laying on a comfortable bright blue couch. The room gave off a cozy and warm feeling with nick nacks littered here and there. Where was i?
"Hello" I heard a female voice say behind me. I turn to find another alien android, her neck clear and see through like the arms of the doctor.
Shit. I was still kidnapped. I was in he'll.
"Where am i?" I ask her
"Your new home." She answered
Shit. This was not my home. And I would not stand for this any longer.
I get up, finally feeling myself and not drugged. I walk around the cozy space and stand right in front of her, me being at least two feet shorter.
"Take me home." I demand.
"This is your new home Megan. And I am your caretaker android one." She responds.
"This is not my home. My home is earth." Tears start welling in my eyes and my fist clench up.
"You have been through a traumatic experience. I will give you a sedative." She says.
"I don't want a damn sedative! I want to go home!" I respond.
A capartment in the cabinet behind her opens up and she pulls out a pill.
"Take this or I will be forced to give you a shot." She says
"And if I refuse both?" I ask
She pauses for a moment, going stiller then any living creature could muster.
"I have received an order to give you a shot regardless of you compliance. The pill is less potent then the shot. I recommend the pill for your upcoming meeting with prince ailign." She said
"Who is...." I gasp. The memories of my time in the space craft suddenly coming back to me. "He's coming" I say weakly.
"This medication will not harm you. It was made for your benefit to better adjust after a traumatic experiance." She says
"Give me the damn pill." I say and reach for the medication in her hand. She pulls out a glass of water next and hands it to me. I galp down the continents and wait. Nothing happened immediately like with the shot.
"Prepare your questions now for ailign. He has come prepared to explain your new situation to you." She said.
She was pretty, with high cheek bones and that alien blue white skin. She had slick black hair that matched her alien fashioned eyes, just like ailign.
"I'm not getting out of here am i?" I ask
"This is your new home." She responds.
Great She even answers like a robot.
I go back to the couch and contemplate. Suddenly noticing my outfit, I was wearing what looked like a hospital gown. And the was something on my neck. I feel and it cool metal from my collar bone to the middle of my neck. What the fuck?
"One what is this? This thing on my neck?" I ask
"Please save all questions for prince ailign he will be here in an hour." She said.
I didn't want to talk to that fucker. The foggy memory of my kidnapping still fresh in my mind. Was I really going to be stuck with this stranger. Was he going to kill me? Torture me? And what was that thing he said when he finished that strange ritual on me? Mates? What the heck did that mean.
I could feel the sedative taking an effect slowly. My bouncing knees now calming, I sink into the cushions a little more. Fuck maybe I did need a sedative. I had always had anxiety problems but now I felt I might pull my hair out or suddenly combust. Jake always told me I needed to quit smoking and now I guess I finally was. Unless aliens had cigarettes.
Jake. My Jake was dead. Was killed by this stranger who kidnapped me and I was now expected to talk to him. I could feel hot tears well in my eyes. Was he really dead?
I had a million questions and a million reasons why not to ask them. At least not to ailign. The fucking prick. I was going to give him he'll if he really killed Jake. Threat to my life or not.
Suddenly I heard footsteps and looked around. One was standing patiently in her too still manner beside the couch. It had to be ailign. I stealed myself for the encounter. His figure coming into veiw moments later.
He was shirtless, the ripples on his abdomen predominant. He was wearing loose fidded baggy pants made of a silky fabric, a gold belt keeping them on. He had a gold band around his neck thay reached up to his chin line. He looked almost like an ancient Egyption God. Fuck he was good looking, for an alien at least. He , was also a kidnapping bastard.
"Hello megan" He greeted.
"Hello ailign." I said
He continued his way over to me, stopping across the small living room.
"Let me take you to my sitting area. One come with us." He said
She bowed and started to follow him across the way. I quickly get up and awkwardly follow the pair. The sitting room was a far distance from my little human sitting area. The rest of the house quickly transforming back into an alien style.
"Come quickly megan." He said as he continued on. I stopped admiring my surrounding and went back to focusing on following the pair. The sedative really worked to calm my nerves.
"Here we are." He said as he reach an all white sitting area that opened up from the hallway. Two chairs faced each other in the middle of the dip. He took one and waited for me to take the other. I stood awkwardly for a moment before taking my seat.
"Take me home." I blurt out nervously.
"This is your home now." He answers
"So everyone keeps telling me, but it's not. Earth is my home." I say weakly.
My eyes focus on my feet, not having the courage to look at my kidnapper and Jake's killer. Speaking as much as I did took all the courage I had. We sat in silense for a long moment. Ailign adjusting in his seat He finally spoke again.
"I am here to explain your new situation. And the rules. What I expect of you. And one rule will be to no longer ask to go home. I will not take you. You are mine now." He said
I looked up at him then when he said I was his. The nerve of this guy! My face twisted in an angry snarl. His?! Expect from me!? I quickly lost my nerve however and went back to staring at my hands, fiddling away. Danm this sedative. I was afraid. The moment I looked at his face I felt terror rise in my guts.
He waited a moment longer before speaking again.
"Yes you are mine." He said. "We are mates now."
"Then unmate me." I say weakly.
"I can't do that. Our people only mate once." He said.
Once? In there whole lives.
"What are mates?" I ask
"I'm sure you remeber the mating ritual. It's an ancient custom of ours to form a link. A connection between two souls and bodies. It's the only way we can reproduce." He said.
My heart went still at the word reproduce. Did this alien really expect me to reproduce with him?
"That comes to my expectations of you. I expect you to learn, and bare my children." He said
"Why? Why me? Why a human? Surely there's females of your own species." I say
"There are no longer sufficient amount of females of my species. They are almost extinct." He says.
"Then clone them." I angrily respond.
"Cloning does not work." He calmly says.
Fuck. What the fuck.
"Surely this is some kind of joke." I say not wanting to believe what I was hearing.
"This is no joke." Ailign says and looks down for a moment. Silence stretchs on between us for a palatable moment.
"Now for the next three month you will have a grace period. Time to recover from your traumatic experiance with one as your caretaker. You will spend one day a week with me. And then afterwards you will be expected to learn various things and will start visiting the facility." He goes on, but I don't hear him. Reproduce? With an alien. I never wanted to be a mom much less one to an alien kidnapper.
"Whats the facility?" I absently ask.
"It's a building fashioned after human architecture. There you will find your fellow human females. There will be activities and other accommodations there during your visit. You will go once a week." He says
"And the rules?" I ask. Ow I was going to kill this fucker. No way was I staying here.
"One will go over all the rules but you will find them similar to human customs. My rule is to never seak me out." He says
Easy enough.
"One will be here for any more questions or concerns. She will be your go through to me. Now i have to go. I will see you in one week." He says. He then stands and makes his way out of the room and away from me.
