Cassia

Untitled Part 6

"Why?" she asked them quietly as the trio drug her off into the distance. Her head pounded as she eyed the device in the leader's hands; it beeped rhythmically as he sent a hate filled glance her way. "What did we ever do to you?" her breath quickened and her eyes shut tight as she tripped on a rock, she breathed a sigh of relief when the two supported her weight.

The one to her left pulled her face up to his, "Like we don't know you're affiliated with the human scum!"

"Don't talk to the prisoner!" The lead Ziforax grabbed the man's collar and barked his command into his face before pulling him away from her.

Cassia tightened her jaw, "Jack locked you in the cargo hold because he was afraid you would hurt the innocent humans on the plane."

He turned to glare at her, sarcasm filling his words, "What does a Timelord need with lowly humans?"

She turned a glare of her own at them, "We may not be traveling through the stars yet but we're just as important as all the other species out there!""

He scoffed at her, "You identify as human?"

"Maybe I do! You have a problem with that?"

"Delusional. Anyone with half a sense would recognize you as Eckleshonsi. Timelord on the other hand. All extinct! Do you really think we would believe such a story? You, a Timelord?" He looked her over, "You're just as disgusting as the human filth!"

"But the Doctor-!" The one to her right started, "He may be the stuff of legends but-!"

"He died along with the rest of them!" he spat at him before turning his eyes to her, "If he even exists at all."

"I've seen him! We don't want to get on his bad side! He destroyed the Daleks and the Slitheen he-!"

"Kerikos!" he snapped. Kerikos moved to open his mouth but shut it quickly as he stepped towards him. "No more of this! If you're so scared of this mythologicalTimelord, then you and your Carinaey can stay here in this Twileisheck!"

Cassia saw him gulp and make a religious looking symbol in front of himself. "What's a Twileisheck?" she wondered quietly.

"Where you will stay for the rest of eternity!" the leader snapped, "Now. Shut! Up!"

She bit her lip to keep them from quivering as they continued along into the distance. She scanned the horizon every few minutes but the foggy mist was so dense that she could barely see forty feet ahead of her. A green light shifted in front of her view, right between her eyes, "Please help me," she whispered. It twirled around her view a few times before disappearing over her shoulder into the darkness. It seemed like hours had passed, she wasn't quite sure because the time felt differently here, but her feet ached and her legs hurt. She was exhausted... Her mind wandered to her dad teaching her about their Timelord abilities, she had just gotten the hang of it when Jack called out to them for help, Or at least, I think did...? she wondered.

She was forced to a stop and nearly tripped again, she looked up to see him hiss at the device in his hand. She looked up to see a ship towering before her, a giant gaping hole standing straight ahead. She examined the opening warily, "There's someone inside," she muttered absently.

"How do you know?"

She blinked at the one who'd spoken, Kerikos called him Andoni didn't he? she wondered about the other subordinate. "The boards are charred, this is recent," She extended her hand to hover above the burnt opening, a dim layer of smoke rose to the light of the moon to prove her point. "So whoever was here recently probably has more explosives and other weapons and could want whatever energy source you're tracking. The leader Kirios growled at her before pulling out a blaster and creeping his way inside. He paused before turning back, "You first," he grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her in front of him, his blaster aimed at her temple. She whimpered at the sharp talons digging into her forearm and the heat of the gun pressed against her. His breath released an unsettling shiver across her skin before he pushed her forward sending her into the wall. She recovered, took a deep breath and clenched her eyes shut, Dad! Please help me! She swallowed hard, O-once they're done with me-...! she released an involuntary whimper as memories flashed in her mind; her mum's screaming filled her head. "Daddy..." she whimpered.
