Ash froze staring at the spot where she had heard the noise . Her breathing was rapid between the pain from her leg and the realization that he had found her. As he materialized in front of her she scooted back towards the wall. Panic rose inside her and she could feel the scream bubbling within. She expected him to be angry but, he merely checked her injury and huffed. He knew it was broke as well. She watched as he pulled his mask off and stretched out his mandibles . He then looked at her with those yellow eyes and tilted his head. She merely glared back causing him to trill . As he took her leg in his arm she wanted to scream. No she wouldn't show that in front of ---- "Aaaggghhh!!" She screamed as he snapped it back in to place. He had pulled out his medi kit and was treating the wound with disinfectant which cause her to whine. She hadn't wanted to scream but, she hadn't prepared herself for what he had done. Her labored breathing indicated just how much pain she was in. Oh what she would do just for a pain killer right now. Letting her head fall back against the cave wall she tried to slow her breathing. He would glance at her every now and then as he worked away at her leg. When he finished he wrapped a thick bandage around her leg all the way to her toes and within moments it had hardened like a cast over her lower leg. Her eyes widened as the pain dulled into a throb . She stared at the cast confused and intrigued.  What if her people had this? No need to ever mold a cast again. Looking back at him she gave a small nod of thanks. He chuffed and put his kit away. He then leaned down and grabbed her , pulling her gently into his arms. She didn't fight him. She had just went through terrible pain and was to damn drained to fight. Leaning her head against him she breathed in his earthy and cinnamon scent. She couldnt say she hated the scent , she definitely did not but , she could say that it was causing her body to betray her. Upon realizing he had stopped she looked up to see his top left mandibles lifting and lowering as if he was sniffing . She stiffened.   ..... "Wh- what are you smelling?" She asked almost tiny voiced . His eyes met hers and she almost fainted as his scent became stronger . "Ash.. you .....are... Aroused..." He spoke. His voice was chopped and gritty as she realized he did not speak her language often. although his voice was deep at the same time. A blush crept up her face and she looked away getting herself back under Control. A curious trill came from him as he continued walking. She wondered what his name was at this point. Staring up at him quietly she didn't take any notice of her surroundings until a sudden scream was her and she looked over his shoulder. Her aunt was running towards them distress clear as day on her face. "Ashlen!!!" She screamed to them. The yautja froze and turned. He aunt seemed to stop running and glared at him darkly. " Bakuub you can't have her!" Her aunt voice was full of venom as she spoke but, what caused Ash to freeze was that her aunt knew him. "Sera... Do..Not... Tell... Me...What.. to..Do" he growled back in his cracked English. Her aunt stiffened and her face darkened. "Please bakuub. Shes all I really have. Ever since I was brought back.. her parents would have nothing to do with me ." Wait what? Brought back from where?  He growled darkly and put Ash down next to him . She leaned off her injured leg as he typed into his arm piece. Her eyes turned to her aunt who was backing up slowly with wide distressed eyes. Then bakuub spoke "vritra will be here within the hour to bring you back. " He spoke in a more clear clipped yet still strained voice. As if he was growing agitated. It struck her that those few years of her aunt missing... She had actually been with the yautja. At her aunt's clear audible gulp she could tell. She wasn't happy . "Would run and escape if we're you. He's angry of your escape last time" he finished his sentence by picking Ash up and putting her over his shoulder. She watched as her aunt ran as fast as she could back to wherever her Jeep was. Then there was a noise like a strong release of air from a machine and hot humid air hit her butt and legs. As he walked and incline she looked around realizing they were now on his ship. She gulped and stiffened a little. At his sudden turn she whined and felt as he gently laid her onto a bed. His eyes met hers as he spoke "stay." He then turned and put numbers in to the key pad and left the room as the door dropped shut. She stood and wobbled over to the door when it didn't open she glared at the key pad. Bastard had locked her in. She felt a jolt and fell as the ship seemed to be raising off the ground. That's when it hit her. They were leaving earth. Minutes later he opened the door and looked down at her. He chuffed and walked away. She sighed and stood wobbling a little . Well might as well explore her new home.
