Little White Lies

Ch.1

Her stomach started growl as it continued to eat her from the inside. Her throat and lips were dry and chapped. Occasionally she would lick her lips but her tongue did nothing but burn her chapped lips.

"It's me again...to whoever is still listening...I've lost track of how long I've been traveling. I have little fuel food, water and....air left."  She pauses wiping a single tear off her cheek. "If anyone is still listening please...I need help...I'm losing my mind..."

Slumping back in her seat as an sigh deep escapes her lips. Memories of planet Mayfairia's downfall replaying on loop in her head. The cries of the innocent created a tunnel of sound surrounding her.

Closing her eyes she imagined that she was far away from her stolen cargo ship. Their tyranny had ended things went back to normal to when she wasn't the most wanted women in the galaxy.

Sadly, none of that is ever going to happen she's going to die in this ship with no sign of the Doves surviving. She can't even imagine what kind of things happened while she was away on the mission. The body count is probably in the billions; aliens losing their loved ones, their homes and cultures.

Folding her ears against the sides of her face. Snapping her eyes closed tightly. She couldn't take it anymore! She was going insane! She was sorry! She can't stop hearing their deaths. The wailing blood curtling screams. No matter what she did she could never forget those sounds or their faces.

Even on the battle field she still remembers slicing through her own people.

She shouts with anger slamming her fists on the console. The red alert alarm flashed red through the ship.

Abruptly the spacecraft began to rattle violently she gripped the joysticks of her craft trying to stay straight. Cursing under her breath she pulls the joysticks with all her might to her chest. The small cargo ship quickly began to heat up like an oven. The cockpit was so hot the heat weighed on her chest making it impossible to breath.

One by one things started to burst around her spraying out metal fragments one of them grazed her cheek cutting her under her eye.

She felt lightheaded as she tried taking slow shallow breaths.
She struggled to keep the ship steady as parts of it literally started to melt or burst into flames. Gradually the cargo ship lifted over the horizon of the star. Looking over out the window next to her she could see a pale blue glow.

The star burning red hot with orange solar flares exploding off, its brightness nearly blinding her. Her blue hair stuck to her cheeks with sweat. She was running out of time and could the heat was starting to effect her eyesight. Basic maneuvers were barely enough to her keep her from boiling alive.

Pushing the spacecraft further using everything it had, dodging, weaving, flying, over and under solar flares. She was literally baking alive. Her skin started burn turning darker almost the color of bark.

In a flash of brightness a solar flare exploded next to her hitting the right side of the cargo ship sending her spinning. She gritted her teeth. The walls of her tiny cargo ship peeled away as she broke through an atmosphere with a sonic boom.

In a last digit attempt she battles with the ship but the thick rubbery substance that covered the metal joysticks had smelted her gloved hands to them. She was utterly trapped in her seat, "mayday mayday! My ship is going to crash! I-I can't control it!" She cried out.

The navy blue ocean was growing closer with every passing second, "Vees!" She flinched shutting her eyes. She felt the spacecraft smack into the ocean, glass shattered as gallons of water flooded into the craft.

Quickly her cargo ship began filling up with water sinking deeper into the unknown darkness washing over her.

Without warning she shoots up coughing up all the water she swallowed violently out. She was disoriented, shivering and soaked. Kneeling down next to her was a man with the bluest eyes she has ever seen. They were a pale shimming blue, almost like a gem stone. Am I dreaming?

They were kind and caring she was at a loss of words. He was dripping wet, his black hair stuck to his forehead as drops of water slowly rolled down his cheeks to his sculpted jawline.

"Miss you need to stay with me okay? Help is on the way, I'm gonna take care of you." He told her.

She still felt to weak to speak and before she knew it everything was black again.
