LUCY'S P.O.V.
Boy he really was asking for a lot wasn't he? I almost regretted giving my consent before I heard his terms. The thing was, I really wanted to know what happened to us humans, not to mention I did want to kiss him again. I was ashamed to admit it of course but the simple fact was I fancied that big overprotective giant. Even though he would sometimes drive me crazy with his mind-bonding and bossing me around thing there was something about him that was almost irresistible.
"I really do not understand human females. I sense that you wish to agree to my terms yet you are still reluctant to do so. You're fighting your own urges. Why would you do such an unnatural thing?"
I got up from my seat and with pink blushed cheeks I sat on his lap looking at him.
"Say that word again?" I asked him.
"What word?" Monaggan responded.
"The word "Unnatura." I like the way it sounds when you say it. It sounds like a sin."
"A sin?" he wondered.
"Yes, something that is wrong to do. Something one shouldn't do."
"Unnatural" he said again, reaching for my hair with his long fingers and playing with it.
"I have feeling that the word unnatural has a lot to do with what happened to my kind. I want you to tell me."
Monaggan looked at me in a captivating way, wrapping a lock of my golden hair around his finger.
"And then you will kiss me?" he asked me with a wolfish grin.
"Yes" I replied and my whole body was overwhelmed with heat at the simple thought of our lips touching again.
Monaggan smiled. It wasn't the evil grin I expected to see. It was a simple smile of a happy person and it looked beautiful on his face. The sight of it made me feel glad that I had agreed to his terms. The smile faded and was replaced by a doubtful look. "I don't know. Maybe you should have Ouroka tell you the story of your kind. It might be easier to hear it from him.
"No" I immediately replied. "I want to hear it from you. I want to hear the truth no matter how ugly it may be."
Monaggan sighed again and let out a dismissive low growl.
"Then know this, Lucy Collins, the story of your kind is truly a sad tale of a race so devious and foul that it would take many days to tell it all nonetheless I will give you a short version of what has happened to them and what they have done to others."
His words wounded me because it sounded like what ever crime we humans have committed, it was unforgettable and unforgivable.
"Tell me"I said back, leaning onto him to assume a more comfortable position and to avoid his dreadful stare.
"At a time shortly after you were placed into the jager-pod your so called Western World and Europe ran out of the contaminated resources there were using to run their machinery. There was a great conflict and the Third World countries as your kind called them came out victorious. A country called China became the new empire that ruled your race. Together alongside with it's allies they created technology that replaced human body parts with mechanical ones. As their technology evolved much of the human organism was changed and altered through time and soon they seized to even look human. They used implants to change how their body looked and functioned until all of them merged into one great computer intelligence that we call the Bionics. The Bionics were creatures with some organic material left and mechanical bodies that were structured based on the needs of their society. Here is how some of them looked like." Monaggan said pointing at the big screen where a group of alien being appeared. Some of them looked more like spiders and ants than humans. I felt a chill pass through me as I watched those dreadful creature we have become. What ever they were they scarcely even resembled human beings.
