Chapter Seven

It was the most peculiar dream. She was back on board the Burning Night but she was not in her quarters. She was in the medical bay, and the war leader general was talking intently to the physician.

“Are you certain?” Deven was earnest.

“Positive. Her species is High Goiin and her psychic talent is designed to conceal her from detection.”

“So, during her flight to Wendial…”

“She was shielding not only herself, but also the entire shuttle.”

“And she exhausted herself in the process.”

He nodded. “Her talent will be out for a day or two but no more than that.”

“Thank you, Dr. Kavar. Have you had a chance to analyze any of the toxins she was carrying?” Deven had his arms crossed defensively, and it gave her the clue that he was not pleased.

As silently as she could, Ceezee slipped off the medical table, wrapped herself in the sheet and crept for the door. She froze in place when the door opened to show two guards scowling down at her. One of them was the pilot from Hallothian, and he did not look pleased.

“I am afraid that you will not have an opportunity to escape this time, Ceezahli.”

She froze at the icy tone that Deven was directing at her back.

“I wasn’t trying to escape, simply return to my quarters.” She didn’t face him. Her skin was hot. It was pink with her blush. She hadn’t appeared in public without a bodysuit since she was a teenager. At the moment, she was only wearing the wrap of the medical sheet.

“You no longer have individual quarters here. You will be with me in my quarters. That is effective immediately.” He didn’t say anything else as he lifted her into his arms.

She didn’t meet his dark gaze but kept her focus on her hands. Ceezee knew he was furious but wasn’t sure about what he was going to do about it.

“Your uncle has been paid for your services with a slight bonus. He isn’t happy with the terms of the bonus, but there isn’t really any option for him. We know what you are and what he is. There is no hiding anymore.”

She shivered in his arms, the heat of his body insufficient to kill the chill of his words. “How did you know?”

“Your little slip with the writing. You must have been very nervous to resort to High Goiin, but it was obvious once it was analyzed and coded against the list lower on the page.”

She closed her eyes. “Stupid mistake.”

“Very, but it gave me a clue as to what you were, and so, I am not one to complain.”

She nodded. “Where is my bodysuit?”

“In the armoury. They are busy trying to find all the minute objects that you hid in there. Speaking of hiding, your talent is fascinating. I did not see you in the museum.

She swallowed, “I am not allowed to speak of it. It is private.”

His laugh was cruel, “Not anymore. There is a line of physicians and scientists waiting to get their hands on you.
