Ellie and Racar

“No more! No more! You’re killing me!”

“We can’t take it!”

“It’s torture!”

Pained groans filled the room. Ellie looked around at her friends with exasperation. “You all wanted to help me by being taste testers. Now you’re wimping out on me?”

“I never thought I’d say this, but if I try to eat another piece of chocolate, I’m gonna barf,” Blue told her.

“I can do some more, Ellie,” Marc told her cheerfully. That guy ate constantly and he was still skinny as a rake.

“Thanks, Marc,” she said warmly. “Nice to know someone isn’t a wuss.”

The others all groaned. They were all sitting in the back of the bakery. They’d been given the order a few hours ago to go into lockdown. No humans or Joyadans or female Zerconians were allowed outside unless escorted. Even though it was getting late, rather than sitting at home and worrying about what was going on, Ellie had decided her time was better spent working on the chocolate for Easter. They had been escorted to the bakery by a few scowling Zerconian warriors who had left them with a stern warning to stay there until they were able to be accompanied home. Tane, Jack, and Blue had been insulted by the warriors’ lack of respect for their fighting ability.

“That last lot was pretty good,” Keely said, delicately wiping her lips. “I don’t think you could improve on that.”

Ellie frowned. “There was something off, though. I have to get this just right.”

“Doubt the Empress cares about Easter that much right now,” Jack stated.

Ellie and Blue just stared at him.

“Oh, she cares,” Blue stated. “Believe me, she cares a lot.”

“She called it a national emergency. I mean, I think she was joking. . .” Ellie trailed off.

“Yeah, I think you should keep trying, Ellie,” Blue told her.

“At least I got the molds done,” Marc said cheerfully. “So as soon as you have the chocolate ready—”

Smash! Smash! Smash!

A loud noise of something breaking came from the front of the bakery. Ellie jumped to her feet as a roar sounded throughout the building.

“Holy shit! What the fuck was that!” Blue jumped to her feet and raced to lock the door between the back and front. Then she switched on the viewing screen.

“Fuck! That’s Axel,” Tane exclaimed, standing next to Blue.

“What is he doing in there? Oh God, he’s smashing up my bakery! I’m going to kill him.” Ellie stormed towards the door.

“Ellie, no!” Blue caught hold of her, pulling her back. “He must have mating fever; he wouldn’t just smash your bakery up for no reason.”

“Shit!” Of course, that was it. How could she have forgotten? “What do we do? He’s going to wreck the place.” This bakery was her baby. She needed to look after it.

“First we need to protect ourselves,” Blue said calmly. “Marc, have you got a blaster?”

“Yes,” Marc replied tersely.

“Good. Take Keely and Ellie into the pantry. It has only one entrance and exit. Wait there until I give the all-clear.”

“Blue! We need to call someone,” Ellie urged.
