Chapter 7

Jennifer Rose

I was so overwhelmed I couldn’t stop shaking.

I never asked to leave.

Finally, Axon came back, and I turned to him eagerly.

“What is it? What’s going on?” I asked, feeling dread as I noticed the grim look on his face.

“The Captain confirmed the Compiers launched a full-scale attack on your city, and your Earth is now locked in a war against them,” he revealed.

“My God,” I said, covering my mouth with my hand in shock.

“We needed to get out of there as soon as possible,” he said.

I looked at him in confusion. “What are you trying to say?”

“I’m saying the jolt we felt earlier was us leaping into hyper speed,” he said, looking sad. “I am so sorry, Jennifer, but we are very far away from Earth now,” he stated.

“What? No! How can that be?! W-We just left my building a couple of minutes ago!” I cried. “I can’t be taken away from Earth! You can’t just take me! Please take me back!” I pleaded.

I unbuckled my seatbelts and stood up, feeling dizzy and struggling to regain my balance.

“There’s nothing that can be done, Jennifer. It was a mistake. The Captain didn’t know you were on the ship with me, but we cannot take you back. We have to return to our planet,” Axon took me in his arms and held me gently. “I am truly sorry. I didn’t mean for things to end up this way.”

“How can this be?!” I said, my tears flowing down my cheeks. How can this be happening to me? Axon pulled me closer trying to console me, but it only made me angrier. I pushed him away, my eyes flaring with determination.

I stomped down the hallway looking for the front of the ship. There I spotted Captain Weko standing in front of a wide screen.

“Weko!” I yelled, “Take me back to Earth now! You cannot take me against my will! I can take care of myself no matter where you drop me off,” I insisted.

“It is not possible, Jennifer Rose,” he said stiffly, keeping his eyes on the screen. “I am sorry, I didn’t know you were on the ship, but it is done. You are a passenger now, and I am the Captain. It is too dangerous for us to enter Earth’s airspace. We don’t know how many Compier ships are patrolling between your planet and its moon, and I will not risk my crew and my ship under the circumstances. We could all die attempting it,” he said.

“But what if—,”

“No!” he roared, frightening me. I hadn’t seen him this angry before.

“Don’t shout at her like that! She has been through enough!” Axon shouted as he quickly got in front of me, shielding me from the Captain.

“Lieutenant, take her to the guest living quarters now. That is an order,” the Captain said gruffly before turning his attention away from us. It was then, through the windshield, that I saw the emptiness of space. Well more of a blur of light and dark due to our speed, but it was beautifully magnificent and yet terrifying at the same time.
