No

Chapter 3

"Oh my god! It's really you!" Ray gasped at the huge alien before her.

She even pinched her arm, a sharp pain traveled thru her as she winced - she was not dreaming, she was alive and the big guy was real!

"You are really here..." Ray blinked rapidly. She doubted herself many times about that night but the ring was there to remind her, she thought her mind was going insane.

He was taller than she remembered, at least reaching eight feet. He wore no body armor this time, except for the face mask, he was covered in his mesh netting - his leathery skin was darker, that beautiful auburn-red color with black speckles faded around his abdomen and chest, just like she remembered. He certainly got more scars than before - a labyrinth of discolored welts and scars scattered across his body, a loincloth attached with ragged leather skirt? Despite being unarmed, he still radiated an aura of menace and destruction. A serious of guttural clicks emanated from him and Ray realized she was gawking.

"Where am I? Why am I here? How did I get here?" She threw all questions at him without giving him time to answer them, her emotions were all over the place.

More clicking and grumbling sounds ensued, but the guttural clicks he made didn't make any sense to her at all.

"My ship." His reply was curt and nothing else. Bau'jah already regretted bringing her along, the moment she started talking he knew he made a big mistake.

"Oh my god, you speak English!" She looked stunned in amazement before continuing.

"Where are we? The last thing I remembered was being drugged and blacked out, and... hey! Where are you going?" Ray shouted behind him and quickened her pace to keep up with his long strides.

Her barrage of questions obviously irritated him greatly. Bau'jah knew she would not rest until she had all the answers, it would take him a long time to explain and communicate with her in English, which was something he didn't have the patience for. Heading to his cargo hold, he found what he was looking for.

Ray was shocked to see how big this ship was, she had never seen anything like it before, both dumbstruck and fascinated. She almost ran into him when the big guy suddenly stopped, the place looked like a storage room with all kinds of impressive weapons - some were traditional and some were high-tech alien shit - she checked his place in awe.

A deep grumble dragged her back to reality, her face went blanch when she saw the syringe-like tube in his big hand and reaching out to her. Given what she had just been through, the fear instantly crept back into her head. Ray ducked his reach and ran away without further delay, she only made out a few feet before a wall extruded out of nowhere and blocked her escape.

She was trapped.

"Wait! Wh-what is that!?" She stuttered.

"Please... don't do this. No!" She almost cried as her back pressed into the metallic wall, but he kept on walking towards her with determination.

His clawed hand placed on her neck, holding her in place firmly as he lifted her up and closed the bridge between their stark heights. Ray twisted and punched him to no avail. Pushing her head aside to expose her bare neck with a slight twist of his wrist, he injected the compound. She felt a sharp pain behind her ear coursed through her body and braced herself for the worst.

"Stop resisting, female." Bau'jah snarled to her face, dropping her to the floor unceremoniously.

"What was that? What did you do to me?!" She barked at him in anger as a hand clasped on the half side of her face.

"An improvement, stupid hooman." He simply stated the matter-of-fact.

"What did you just call - wait! I can understand you." She touched her ears in shock.
