Captive

Chapter 4

            

Hey guys! This chapter is rather long, so I apologize for that. Thank you for reading my story, please support it by liking it and sharing it.

The story contains strong language and mature themes.

Now to the story. Enjoy!

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

« I just realized and I'm sincerely confused but how come we speak the same language? » I asked perplexed.

« In reality, right now we are not speaking the same language. I hear what you say in my own language, and you hear what the others and I say in yours ».

« How is that even possible?? » I said completely mind blown.

« It's thanks to the identification code that they printed on our skins. However, Lord Hyourin,  the Scientists and all the staff members speak all the languages in this universe. Quite impressive, I know ». I looked at the strange tattoo with the three triangles, finally understanding its use.

« Anyways, I was saying that the gym is on the second floor, together with the swimming pool and sauna. On the third floor there are the fun activities, such as clubs, bars and casinos ».

Lexa was taking me on a tour of the Arc and, as much as I hated being there, that place had everything, literally everything. Lexa said there were so many gardens and forests too, which I was actually really eager to visit before leaving.

« Do they teach you how to pilot one of those ships? » I pointed at the black UFOs above us.

She gave me an Are you serious? Out of all of these things? look but I didn't care. I needed to learn how to fly if I wanted to go back home. « Well, we have different courses here, like art, music, meditation, crafting, and many others. For your luck, there is a flight course but barely anyone takes it because it's so scary and hard to do. Are your parents pilots or something? ».

« Y-yeah, my father is, so I would like to follow his footsteps ». I had to lie since I did not know any other credible reasons for wanting to take that course.

« Great! I will take you there immediately. Be aware of the teacher though, he is kind of an ass, I heard » she whispered in my ear.

« I had teachers who were asses too, so I think I will be able to handle him » I grinned at her.

We were walking until she stopped in front of a wall saying Learn how to spread your wings, then a hole appeared and we walked through it. Lexa was right, there weren't many people, probably around four people, which was better for me. The less witnesses, the better. All of my joys disappeared in an instance as soon as another person walked in.

Laerdya. Out of all the people on that damn Arc, she had to be in the course that nobody takes. Great. Just great.

« Nice seeing you again, Yelena. Are you still sightseeing? » she asked me with her high pitched voice, which for some reason it came out smooth as hell. I noticed only then she had changed into a very tight pilot suit. It was all white (like everything there) and her zip was really low, which showed a good amount of cleavage.

« Actually, I intend to take this course » I said, trying not to be intimidated by her, and ignoring the "lower your head when speaking to a Deity" rule. I had to admit that I was not good at obeying rules that I didn't agree to. Yes, I got in trouble often in the past for not listening.

She giggled, probably thinking that I was too stupid to be taking that course, which ticked me off quite a bit « You can drop out at any time, so you do not need to worry about that ».
