Abducted; Namjin

Chapter Twenty Three

     "Ready on your orders, Captain."
    A smile curls my lips as I watch the passing ship whiz by on their return journey to Median Blue.
     I click my tongue. "Prepare the missiles. I want those specimens alive, though. Bring them to me."
     My most trusted guard nods, bowing respectively. "And of the human, sir?"
     "I want him. He seems quite close with Captain Kim. I would like to play with him a bit. Those fools truly think they can overpower us in war by repopulating. I will make sure their plans never succeed."  
     "We will have the missiles on the ready for a takeover within the hour, sir."  
     "Very good."
     He clears his throat from the doorway. "Um, may I ask you something, sir?"
     I lick my teeth, barely sparing him a glance. "Hm?"
     His expression turns to nervousness. "Are you going to tell him? The captain?"
     I laugh boisterously. "What a spectacular turn of events, hm, this shall be. How do you think Captain Kim will react when I reveal the truth about our toxins and the death of his mate? How their souls simply traveled among the galaxies. How we engineered and perfected the separation of body and soul. Respirited into new bodies and new homes on different planets..."
      "Um, yes. Are you going to tell him?"
     I give him a petulant look. "And why would I do that? Give him hope to find his mate? He's obviously moved on with this human. This war isn't over and I have a score to settle with Captain Kim. The fun is just beginning."
      He nods slowly. "Are you going to earth to retrieve his mate?"
     I pause, studying the man. A human, himself. "Desperate to return to your home planet?"
      He frowns. "No point. It's been half a century since I left by now it seems. There is nothing for me there now."
     I motion him closer and he obeys. I caress his cheek softly, staring into his soft brown eyes. "You will forever keep your loyalty to me, yes? Never forget what I've done for you."
    "I never can. I am loyal to you only."
     Nodding, I sigh. "I'm sending you to earth to bring his mate to me. But first...prepare the attack. I want that human on our ship."
      "Of course. You'll have him within the hour."

    "I don't like the look of that ship." Taehyung mutters from the control board.
     My eyes remain laser focused on it as it stops quite close—too close—to us. It's a Cedian Red war shuttle. Fuck.
I look at Taehyung as he struggles to maneuver us away from the oncoming ship. "Prepare yourself for an attack. Get the others in a safe location. Now!" I yell.
He abandons the controls and runs out. I take over his place and try everything possible to escape the suctioning gravity but it's useless. Our ship is still too weak from our crash landing before.
There's nothing I can do. We will be invaded. We will have to fight but depending on how many swarm inside...there is only three of us. The only thing I can do is make sure our specimens are protected to the best of my ability.
Cursing, I leave the control room to help Taehyung. Jungkook is racing around the medical wing in a panic, trying to secure his equipment. Taehyung has the others in one room, trying to get Jimin and Jin to calm down. The reptilian sits calmly in the corner observing everything and everyone.
As soon as I open my mouth to speak, the ship rocks hard and the sound of an explosion rings in my ears. I'm knocked off my feet and hit the hard floor. Pain explodes throughout my body as the door is busted open and Cedians rush the ship.
I shake off the pain and stand to fight, frantically searching for my gun. Another explosion from the other side of the ship rocks me back down and I'm surrounded and pinned immediately with no hope of getting free.
I watch, struggling, as Jimin and Jin are forced into large cages and hauled off. Yoongi hisses and narrows his eyes at his coming captors. The men fall to their knees in agony as he works his magic on their minds—
"Yoongi, watch out!"
From behind, a cedian knocks the reptilian out and shoves him into a cage with the others. I fight frantically for freedom but a sharp piercing pain lances through me. I gasp, collapsing down as the men drag me out to their ship.
Blood spills from the wound in my stomach as consciousness fades in and out.
The last thing I see is Jungkook screaming and Taehyung fighting off as many as he can. They take him down fast, stabbing him with the same weapon they got me with.
Everything goes black.
