Abducted

Prologue

I wake up late today, which is more than unusual for me, so I hurry to get dressed and ready for class. I suppose the correct term would be the lecture that started over a half hour ago. I've never been late a day in my life, what exactly did I do to deserve this. Oh, your probably wondering who I am at this point. Well, my name is grace benson. I'm 23, and an astronomy major. Astronomy has always caught my interest, but ever since Thor and the battle of New York, my obsession has only grown. Anyway I'm running late and already hating myself for it. I have yet to get adjusted to switching from Morning to night classes. The lecture hall is only a short walk from my dorm room, so I sprint. Arriving at the hall, felling like I could pass out, I take a seat in the back of the room earning myself a glare from the professor that tells me we'll be talking afterwords.

The lecture last another hour and I end up getting a second lecture about my tardiness that last an extra half hour. By the time I leave for my next class, which is across campus, it's pitch black outside. The only lights are along the pathways. "Now this professor is gonna be pissed that I'm late too. Just perfect." I think out loud. The lights along the path start to flicker "what the?" I question but quickly brush it off. That is until all the lights go out completely and all at once. The wind begins to blow at an alarming rate. A blinding white light shines above me, I try to make out what it is but as I said, blinding. Am I dying? The next thing I know my body is slamming into a cold metal surface "shit" I say as my bag lands next to me with a thud. I sit up to come face to face with a blue skinned man as well as others. Some look normal the others have blue skin as well. "Well what do we have here? Another Terran." The man says, another? " we weren't expectin' you but this could still work" he continues. "W-what's going on?" I ask mildly freaked out "look around sweetheart. Take a guess." He says after having a short laugh. I look around and start to live it all together. "There no way this is real." I say "well you better believe it darlin' " one of the other men say.

"But that's impossible I was just..." I trail off. Nothing is impossible these days. "Take me back!" I demand "can't. I'm afraid we're no where near Tera now. Besides that's not how this works." The blue man says stepping closer to me. Two of his crew pick me up by my arms forcing me to stand "let me go!" I yell struggling in their tight grip. "Yondu!" A man yells sounding pissed as he making his way to the front. "Quill? When did you get back?" The man, or rather yondu, asks the burnet man as he walks up in front of him. "Just now. What are you doing?" Quill asks "you know how this works." Yondu answers. "Let her go." Quill demands, yondu gives him a stern look that says 'not a chance' "let her go and I'll find you something worth twice her value." Quill argues. Yondu nods to the two men holding me and I rip my arms away as they loosen their grip. "You better make good, quill." Yondu says getting in his face "will you take me back now?" I ask " did you not hear me? We can't. Looks like you'll be staying with us." Yondu says before him and his men walk off to return to whatever it is they were doing prior to this whole thing. Leaving quill and I to stand alone, "sorry about him. My names peter quill some people call me star lord." He says "do they really?" I ask picking up my bag "why wouldn't they?" He asks "oh my god that's just sad." I say knowing no one calls him that. "I'm sorry but what's your name again?" He asks "grace benson. And thank you by the way." I answer.

"Not a problem. So where did they pick you up?" He asks "earth" I answer simply. "Terra?!?" He asks sounding both surprised and ticked off. "Sure whatever it is you people call it." "I'm from there too. They picked me up when I was a kid." He says "I'm sorry." I say, he quickly brushes it off. It must be a bad memory for him, though I can't exactly blame him. I walk over to a nearby window and stare into space... literally. "You okay?" He asks "I will be. I'm mostly trying to process the fact I'm in space. The closes I've ever gotten to it was the observation tower on campus." I reply. "Campus? Your a college student?" He asks, I nod before turning to face him "astronomy major. I guess this is one way to learn about the universe." I answer. It's silent between us for a moment "I can show you your room if you want." He suggests "sounds good." I say and follow behind him. We then reach a door, he presses a button and the door slides open to reveal a prison like room "homey" I say sarcastically "I'll check back later. I have to go find something worth two of you." He says walking out of the room shutting the door behind him. I drop my bag on the bed, or rather the cot and take a seat next to it. I just sit there processing everything that's just happened, having my whole life change just like that.

A few hours later there's a knock on my door "come in." I say, the door opens and quill walks in "hey." I say sitting up on the cot "how you holdin' up?" He asks "well, first I was late to my lecture, then I was abducted by aliens, and was told living Hmong them is my life now. So just peachy." I answer. He laughs and takes a seat next to me "it takes some getting used to but looks like you'll be fine. Especially with ur sense of humor." He says "you mean my sarcasm?" I ask "yeah. Never lose that and life here should suit you just fine." He answers "so all aliens are sarcastic is what you telling me?" I ask " no but it shows you have strong a strong will, you'll need that." He says "thanks." I answer.
