--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liz’s POV
I was nervous. I knew that, Kiara knew that and I’m pretty sure that the ants on Earth knew that. What’s wrong with me? I was never like this back on Earth. I was staring at Kiara who had finished brushing her hair and had started tidying up. God knows why. The room was spotless. I’m pretty sure that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the room.
“What’s wrong” she asks me.
What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Nothings wrongs. It’s just that I’m on a god damn planet in the middle of god knows where, ripped out of the life I had created on earth, where I was perfectly content on sulking about my regrets in life in a designer apartment that I worked hard for. I’ve been kidnapped by aliens who can kill me at any time and are trying to use me as bait to kill me friends. But instead of saying all that, I just reply with a shrug. She doesn’t push me any further.
I can hear some shouting down the hall. I hear Kiara sigh and say
“Not again. She hasn’t even been here for an hour and they’re causing havoc”
The shouting stops with a slammed door and ten minutes later Andena comes into the room. Thank God. For some reason I feel safe with her. She’s not the nicest person in the world but at least she’ll keep me safe. How do I know that? I have no fucking idea. She’s talking to Kiara, who is silently berating her. She looks at me.
“Come with me”
I follow her of course, not wanting to stay with Kiara, who silently shakes her head disapprovingly.
“Where are we going?” I ask her.
“I’m going to teach you how to fight” she answers simply. She never answers with full answers.
She throws me some clothes, which look a lot like sweat pants and a tank top.
“I asked Khivar to pick them out for us” she explains.
“And he did?” I asked confused. Why would a ‘King’ of Antar, run errands?
“Yup, I threatened to kick him off the throne if he didn’t” she shrugged. He also got her a lot of exercising machines. Punching bag, one of those things you run on and oddly a large rock, for rock climbing.
“You can do that?” I heard myself ask.
“Do what?” she asked punching the bag, making it swing high in the other direction.
“Dethrone him” I watched her kick the punching bag before it hit her.
“Yeah” she replied shortly.
I felt myself grow angry.
“How?” I gritted my teeth.
“My family is the keeper of the throne of the V constellation, I believe you call it. Anyway” she drew in a breath. “The only person who sits on that throne is the one we want. Khivar is currently the one the granolith up on the throne” she hits the punching bag.
“What about Ma….Zan? Why was he dethroned?” I asked in a whisper.
“Because he wasn’t the one that the granolith wanted on the throne”
“So what you just kicked him off?”
“No, we just let Khivar come and take over” Andena told me.
“And then you let him get killed” I asked, not really wanting an answer.
“Yes, I did” she told me bluntly.
“So you’re loyal to Khivar?” I asked her, my voice was surprisingly calm.
“Nope” she answered me. She had stopped hitting the bag, and turned to look at me.
“Then who are you loyal to?” I asked.
“The granolith” she replied. She raised her hand, and in it I found a ball of electricity floating in it. “Do you know what this is?” she asked me, after a moment and a sigh.
“Electricity?” I responded unconsciously.
“No. It’s the same thing running down your arms this very instant” I looked down at my hands. The green stuff had come back again.
“What are you doing to me?” I blamed her. I blamed her for all of this bullshit. I blamed her for bringing me here. I blamed her for trying to kill my friends. Hell, I think I even blamed her for ruining perfect Lizzy Parker, so I reacted. When my vision cleared, she was standing in front of me. I looked at my hands, where were glowing softly.
“I’ve been trying to get you to do that all day” Andena replied.
“What did I do?” I asked.
“You used your powers” God, how I hated her. I hated the way she knew everything, the way she talked, the way she walked, everything.
“What powers?” I asked not understanding any of this shit.
“That is the dumbest question I’ve ever heard” she scoffed. “Now get changed into the clothes, as soon as you get all that anger out of your system the sooner you’re going to fell better”
I got changed in the spot. Not caring that she could see me. Luckily I had a bra and underwear on. I don’t even know why I still did everything she asked of me. I trusted her I guessed. God knows why. Seems like I’ve been saying the word ‘God’, a lot around here.
Suddenly I felt like I was burning. I looked around. My heart had started beating faster. Not literally, of course. But it was if someone was giving me heat. I looked down I had only managed to get the sweat pants on, so I quickly put the tank top on. By then the burning sensation had gone.
Andena looked at me. I had calm down for some reason. It was weird.
Khivar’s POV
This is stupid. There is absolutely, no reason that I should be sitting here. So we tried to kill the human? What’s wrong with that? Andena summoned us exactly 1 hour, 46minutes and 56 seconds ago, and she hasn’t even showed up. Damn bitch.
Finally she has he decency to turn up when you’re about to leave, at least she gets straight to the point.
“Listen carefully, there will not be any other attempted assassinations on Miss Elizabeth Parker, I don’t feel like ‘persuading’ more of those wannabe killer to find another occupation and if I even if I hear a rumor that you’re both trying to kill her, I’ll start a head collection. Am I understood?” Most people would be running away when Andena gets like this, but then again Tyker isn’t most people. He goes head on with a fight. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
You can hear them down the hall, bickering, and in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and there goes the slam of the door. And that’s why Tyker fails, he’s so predictable, and the fact that he’s in love with Andena doesn’t help the situation either.
Andena’s probably with that pathetic human right now. I can feel the power radiate off someone nearby. It’s probably Andena blowing off steam, but just to make sure that we don’t have any snoops roaming around. Stupid rebellion, they started all this. If they didn’t want to be overruled they shouldn’t have hurt my family.
I stop and stare at the human currently blasting away at Andena. She’s glowing, in a pale green light. I stare at her. She’s amazing for a human. I’m not sure that Serena or Kheva have THAT much power. She’s doesn’t even look tired. I close my eyes, letting her anger and power seep into me. It’s coming off in waves. Her eyes are glowing, her hair flying behind her. She’s a goddess. No question about that. But she’s a weak goddess. She’s stopped her attack. She gave in. She’s been told to get changed. And she is a goddess. He stomach, her thighs, her…. Dear Granolith, I’m starting to sound like Lakim.
“Sir?” A soldier asks.
“What?” I snap at him, he flinches. Feeble minded soldier.
“We’re under attack” he announces.
Liz POV
‘Bout 5 minutes ago we, me and Andena, had been told that we were under attack by the rebellion. Exactly 3 seconds after that the room started shaking. And that’s were my memory gets fuzzy. I can remember most of it but some of it’s still hazy. Andena disappeared after ordering me to get changed back into my clothes, after I got into them. I looked up and she was gone and standing there was Lakim. He looked different somehow, he looked tired and angry. I still didn’t trust him. I was ordered to follow him. Something I never would’ve done on Earth. He tells me to look up and I do, I’m frightened at what I see. It’s destruction. A tear slips down my cheek, something I haven’t felt in a long time.
“Good, hold on to that feeling, because this is going to be a rough month” he says to me. Fucking asshole, why does this family never explain anything?
He takes me to another room, it reminds me of all those “Control rooms’ that people always go to when they are being attacked.
It is practically hell in here, but it’s impressive. I sit down on a chair which is oddly next to Khivar’s seat. How I know this? It the biggest one there, men and there ego’s. The others came in after, each at different seats. There were a few unrecognizable people, probably generals or something.
And then Khivar started talking.
“As you currently all know we are under attack, by the rebellion” Khivar stopped after seeing a General mutter something.
“Is there something that you would like to share?” Khivar asked.
“Why is the human here? She caused all this” the general asked. I tensed. I did? Andena had some explaining to do.
I looked at Khivar who was still staring at the General, who was twitching. “She’s here because I allow her to be here, if you have I problem with that come and see me after” The general shook his head. Had the asshole just stuck up for me?
Tyker suddenly came in through the door. “Where’s Andena?” he asks, I look around realizing that she’s not here. I look at Lakim who is currently holding his head in his hands.
“Not again” I hear him mutter. What the hell was Andena doing?
Andena was in what looked like an advanced jet shooting the rebellion down, while Tyker was shouting at her.
“Andena get your arse down here now before I”
“By the Granolith, Tyker, you’re starting to sound like Kiara, anyway, you know I can’t come down, it’s not procedure”
“Screw procedure” Tyker yelled at the screen, Liz saw a few people flinch.
“What do you think I’m doing?” Liz looked at Tyker and saw his fist clench.
“Tyker?” Andena asked
“What?” he snapped.
“They’re after Elizabeth, if anything happens to her…” she left the sentence hanging.
Tyker sighed. “I’ll keep her safe”
“Thank you” I stood there stunned. Had Nicholas just agreed to protect me? I stared at him. He glimpsed at me and then turned around and punched that asshole who accused me of starting this.
No one said anything. The only ones left in the room were Kiara, Lakim and the Generals.
“Follow me” Tyker said shortly. “Let’s get one thing straight, right now. I’m not doing this because I like you and for once I’m not doing this for the Granolith, I’m only doing this because of Andena. You’ll listen to me when I tell you to do something, you will do it. No questions asked. Am I clear?” All I could do was nod and try and keep up with him.
After a few minutes of trying to keep up with him, my curiosity got the better of me.
“What did you mean when you said you weren’t doing this for the Granolith?”
Tyker sighed and started swearing in his own language she guessed. Then Liz found his weak spot.
“I could ask Andena, when she gets back” I smirked.
He looked at me, and frowned.
“The Granolith is the one who decides who goes the throne, therefore it’s the one that gives out the orders. That means that I do whatever the Granolith asks of me” I nodded and looked ahead of me and gasped.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was ultimate destruction. There was smoke everywhere, fire’s blazing high and people running terrified.
“I want to help” Elizabeth said, without knowing why. Tyker looked at her frowned and then nodded.
Tyker took her into another room where Khivar was. He looked at her then looked at Tyker.
“What’s it doing here” he snapped.
“She wanted to help my lord” Tyker bowed. Elizabeth just stood there, not giving into who she considered the enemy.
“You bow in the presence of royalty, human”
“When I see royalty I’ll be sure to do that” Elizabeth retorted. She wasn’t afraid of him, Khivar knew that, and that made him worry.
“What is it doing here?” Khivar repeated the question.
“She wants to help” Khivar frowned.
“Send her to Andena or something”
Tyker tensed.
Elizabeth had made up her mind by now. She wasn’t going to stand around listening to two aliens who wanted to kill her fight. She was surprised by how easy it was to slip away from someone who had taken over a kingdom.
It was calling her. That’s why she had to get away. It was calling her. The Granolith. And she let herself be called.
It drew her to it. Softly glowing. It looked and felt alive. It was alive. It was so bright, the colours, the feelings, the life. It was wonderful. She looked around. It was so peaceful. The children were laughing and playing, the teenagers were giggling and the adults were just sitting around talking. It was a world of happiness and world that didn’t exist. Andena was there.
“Help him” Andena whispered into her ear. “Save him”
“Save who?” Elizabeth yelled out.
“Save him. He needs you”
“From what?” Liz screamed out.
“Love him?” That suggestion just freaked Elizabeth out. Who the hell was she suppose to love?
She was brought back to reality with shocks running down her arms. She looked at the owner of the hands that were shaking her.
“Would you wake up?” It was Khivar shaking her and Tyker yelling at her.
“What the hell do you think you were doing? You could’ve been killed” Tyker shouted at her, but Elizabeth was to busy to notice him. She looked up through the crystal ceiling. The jets were all gone and all that was left was the fires and smoke. A tear dropped down her cheek.
“Why do you do this to them?” she turned to Khivar. He just stared at her not answering.
“I have no reason to answer you, you’re just a human” Khivar told her his voice chilling her.
Andena’s whisper came to her “Help him understand”
Elizabeth unconsciously shivered, but by then Khivar had already gone.
The next few hours were hazy. She remembered running around trying to save lives. She wasn’t allowed outside. She remembered asking if she could help outside but was stopped by Tyker.
“Don’t even think about it” he told her. When he promises Andena something, he kept to his word. She was under his sight all day. Where ever she went he knew and usually stopped her. She hadn’t seen Khivar, Serena or her family all day, not that she realized that until she went to bed. She was exhausted; she had been running around all day and still would be unless Tyker had ordered her to bed.
Elizabeth had just finished her bath, and had washed off all the blood and black smudges that she was covered in. She was asleep before her head reached the pillow.
Elizabeth woke up early, tired as hell. Something was wrong, she knew that immediately. She got up, got dressed and then waited for someone to get her. Unfortunately she couldn’t be bothered waiting for to long. She left her room 10 minutes later and went straight to the control room, where she found Tyker, Khivar, Serena, Kheva and the twins sitting there. She was missing. Andena had been catured.
Rebellion Headquarters – Michael’s POV
She wasn’t talking. That’s what was bothering Micheal. She just sat there. Sometimes she just stared at him and smiled.
What kind of prisoner smiles at you while you’re trying to interrogate her?
We launched an attack on Khivar, it was suppose to be a distraction while a team went and retrieved Liz. They all came back saying that they couldn’t get through but they had brought a prisoner.
She came willingly, that much was obvious. There were no signs of struggle and some of the soldiers seemed afraid of her.
“Tell you what” she suggests “You bring your friends in and I give you information on how Elizabeth is doing” I think about it and agree.
10 minutes later Maria comes rushing in. She slaps the prisoner.
“What the hell have you done to my best friend” Sometimes I wish I had left her on Earth.
Isabel, Max and Kyle came in and glared at the prisoner.
“Elizabeth is fine. She should be tidying up the little mess you made right now” the prisoner told us. That confused the shit out of me. Why would Liz help the enemy?
“What is your name?” I ask her.
“Andena” she replies simply.
“What is your position with Khivar” Max asks straight out.
“Well I ain’t intimate with him if you wanted to know” she smirks. She’s really pissing Max off.
“Cut the shit and tell me what you know about Khivar and Lizzy before I blast you so far…” he only got so far.
“You’ll what. You’ll blast me all the way into the next galaxy. I can assure you, You Majesty,” she emphasized. “I’ve already been blasted there and back a thousand times over, so it isn’t going to make a difference if I go there once again. The only thing you’re ever going to get out of me is what I want you to know. Now stop pushing me, to get information before I get angry” she exploded. The ropes had snapped in the process of her yelling and now she had Max backed up against the wall.
“Anyway 1: you don’t have any powers that even come close to blasting and second if you even think about harming me my family would go out of there neutral position and blast the Royal 4 to pieces smaller than a grain of sand” she told us with a smirk
She walked over to the chair she was tied to before and sat down.
“Why is your family neutral” I asked curiously.
“Because” came a voice from the opening to the tent “her family are the keepers of the granolith. The granolith is the keeper of the throne, and currently the granolith doesn’t want either us or Khivar on the throne” Ava stepped in.
“What the granolith wants the granolith gets” Andena told Ava
“It’s nice to finally meet you” Ava told the priso…Andena.
“I must say, it’s finally nice to meet you Ava. I can finally see the difference between you and Tess” Andena stated looking at Ava. She felt everyone in the room tense and that’s when the world went black, for Andena.
