Starships

Chapter 31

"DAMN YOU!" I scream, "DAMN YOU! DID YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST DONE? DAMN YOU!" 

"Yes, we blew up your home planet." The leader of the Citadils tells me, "And don't think I know about the others on Okaara." 

I slam my fists into the tube. I am screaming at them, which they do not care. The tube that I am in glides back to its normal base. Another Citadil comes over to me and presses a green button that is near my tube. A fog fills my tube, forcing me to breath it in. I feel my body slide down and I fall in a deep sleep.

-------------

"Kori. Kori. Wake up."

I open my eyes and I see Richard over me. He is brushing my hair with his hand. His blue eyes sparkle in the sunlight.

"Koriand'r!" 

I lift my head up and see my sister running towards me. I sit up and wait for her to come to me. But she seems stuck. 

"Komand'r? What is wrong?" I ask.

Komand'r presses her hands against the invisible wall. Then our mom appears next to her. She is also trying to get through the wall. Then our dad. Then Wildfire. Then Galfore. They are all pressing their weight into the wall. Before my eyes I see different Tamaraneans appear and trying to get their way through. Even one young Tamaranean flies up to see if there is an end to the wall. She was unsuccessful. 

"Richard? What is wrong with them?" I ask him.

"They are stuck Kori." Richard says coldly. 

"Stuck?" I look back at them. They are trying their hardest to come join Richard and I. They are using their starbolts and eye beams to attack the invisible wall. Nothing is working.

"Koriand'r!" I can hear my name being repeating over and over again from the Tamaraneans. It's getting louder and louder. I cover my ears, but it seems like by doing that, it making their cries louder. 

"Koriand'r!"

"Koriand'r!"

"Koriand'r!"

"Koriand'r!"

"Koriand'r!"

I scream, trying to make it stop.

------------------------

I wake up, but not in the glass tube that I was last in. I am now in a jail cell. I examine my body and I see a small bandage on my arm. Other than that there is nothing else wrong or missing from me. I check around my neck and feel my necklace is still there. I open it and Richard and I are still there with our word. 

"She's up." I hear a Citadil say outside my cell. I close the locket and put in back in my uniform. I can feel it press against my skin.

"Very well. We will release her here soon." The second Citadil said.

Release me? How long was I out for? Did I already serve them as their slave and they just knocked me out so I don't remember? I try my hardest to remember any details, but my brain is blocking things out. I look around the room and I see that there is a small window. I fly up, so I can look through the window. I see that we are just outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Are they sending me back to Earth? Why?

My cell's door opens and a trio of Citadils comes in. I lower myself to the ground, waiting for what they have to say.

"We are going to release you back to Earth. Your services are no longer needed." The first Citadil said.
