Alien Queen

Part 1

"Why do you always do this huh? There is no other option Stella. We have to go, they need us to finish this!" Taking a deep breath, with clear annoyance shown on my face, I turn to my beloved sister and hold back my disapproval. I look back at the monitor and glare at the Red Planet. With some similarities to our home planet, the big difference is the angry red glowing all around it. I hear her 'Tsk' nagging on. "We have to follow directions and you know this. It is our duty, we cannot turn ba-" I raise a hand to stop her words from continuing. My eyes trained on the glorious red circle, my heart pounds in my chest at a rapid pace. Screams. I shut my eyes, flashes and flashes of events go by and I open them in a second.

Why does Eliza always have to go by the book and follow these dumb rules. Big sister or not, she needs to shut the hell up already. Seems she forgot how I felt about why we must do these ridiculous tasks and do these horrible things to other planets. What we do.. Not that she cares. We shouldn't be here, we shouldn't be doing this anymore. I pinch the bridge of my nose and press down on one of the keys. "Computer, please take the ship to Destination T, Main Planet Durakai." I hear her exhale a breath she must have been holding and my stomach turns.

I turn and look at my sister with a dead smile on my face. "Happy? Let's continue on this dangerous quest to destroy others existence in hopes of one day being free from this man aye?" Sarcasm spilling from my lips as I throw my hands up in the air. "Oh right, you would never want to be free from him now, huh?" I bite back the rest of my words and walk past her intentionally bumping her shoulder. My words mean nothing to her and I feel my anger spiking. I walk up to the door and pause. "Pray we make it out of this one too Kay?" And I push forward not caring to hear anything else. I make my way down the corridor and into the shower room. After the door closes behind me I press the button beside it hear the voice overhead say "LOCK SECURED".

I can't believe this is still happening. I slide down the wall and sit with my legs to my body, cradling them. I feel the tears start to burn my eyes and I just let them fall. I lean my head up against the wall and chuckle. Ten years huh? Feels like my whole life I've been dealing with them. I close my eyes and see everything again, like a quick playback of all the pain I've endured. I see his laugh and my eyes pop open, my body shakes a little with fear. As time passes, I grow less and less afraid of The Bosses.. but him. He stills makes me freeze in place with just that one word.

"Pausa." I stand so fast I almost trip over my feet. I smacked my hands on my face and takes deep breath. Looking into the Mirror I turn away from the scars on my side and walk to the tub. Turning the knobs to my preferred temperature, I watch the steam start to fill the room and I sigh. This is what I need. A clear mind to figure out a plan because I'm not going through with it this time. Stepping inside I grab my body wash box and throw two small caps in and watch it foam up. I sit feeling the bubbles surround me and the steam consume the room. Safe.

'He's not here Stella." I sigh to myself, tension leaving my body in moments. I can't help but to feel at peace, allowing my thoughts to trail on. Looking out the window, my eyes capture the beauty surrounding us. Seeing the deep black all around me, little stars everywhere and premature meteors moving past the ship, I never would have thought this would be our life, my life. "Home is so far away.." I whisper looking at my palm.

Being from Earth 5 and a twin at that, our minds connect when the other is in danger or close to killing the other sibling.  Our world, just like all the others are different and the similarities make most look twice in space. Each deserved planet has five sets just as the Gods intended. Planet UranUsis, Earth, Jupitoris, Durakai and Neptunian. I can hear my mothers words remembering the story of how the Gods were upset with us because of how we treated our worlds, the "Collision" era that set and changed everything. Closing my eyes, I think up all the history she told me and my siblings.

Hearing a knock at the door, all thoughts fade as I feel Eliza presence like she is next to me. Feeling the heat consume my entire body, I decide against another argument, knowing I'll be the only one fighting. Some nerve she has to try and speak to me now. "Computer, set code P-7883." "Code P-7883 set." Hearing the reply, I slide down in the water. Having computer put my private code on will block out any noise unless the ship is in danger. I need to be alone. She won't ever change and I'm starting to understand that. Just like those people, pure evil. Corrupted.

Those treatments we had to go through. The needles, the starvation, the training. She broke a long time ago and gave in just like everyone does when they enter that place. I broke too. But killing.. hearing the screams and feeling that warm liquid on my face and hands. NO! I lift my hands to my ears subconsciously trying to silence the agony. "you'll obey one way or another mujer."

"Please, someone make it stop." I don't want to keep doing this. Hurting, tearing families apart, and destroying homes; cities! "I can't.." Whispering, making my mind up. No matter what, even if I die I refuse to continue on this way.
