Chapter Nine

She came awake suddenly, completely. And for a blinding moment she had no idea where she was. Then it all came back, just as suddenly: Taso...the crash of the first ship...being taken from the lobby of the modeling agency. And now she was on Taso’s personal ship—she really couldn’t think of it as a space ship, no matter how hard she tried. They had crashed before. Maybe they were crashing again.

The door opened as she was trying to get her stiffened limbs to cooperate enough to stand. Taso stuck his head around the corner. Expecting the worst, she was surprised to see him smiling.

“We are home.” He extended his hand. “My home. And I hope you will think of it as yours someday.”

She let him pull her up, her legs full of pins and needles. “How long was I asleep?”

“The better part of the journey...eighteen hours or more.”

“You’re kidding? And you swear you didn’t drug me with that food?”

His brow furrowed, but he still kept the smile on his face, even if it faded a little. “I did not. It was exhaustion and the aftereffects of the drugs the mercenaries gave you. They needed to use more than they have in the past. Apparently...” His smile widened again. “You fought them quite hard.”

Shaking her legs, she followed him into the narrow hall. “What did you expect? Some strange men grab me, I’m going to put up a fight. It happens all the time in New York. But it’s never been aliens before.”

They went down the narrow hall toward what looked like a hatch on an airplane. It whooshed open, admitting a wash of gray light. Even though it was dim, she blinked, realizing how dark it was in the cabin, the hallway. Taso stepped out through the opening, and her steps faltered. She hadn’t thought much about what this would be like, stepping out into his world. He looked human; would his world look like Earth?

Tentatively, she ducked through the opening, focusing on the short set of metal steps that led to hard-packed dirt, shieling her eyes with her hand. The air was warm and dry, not unpleasant. Once her feet hit the ground, she looked up.

The ship seemed to be sitting on the top of a high area of ground. Maybe it was the equivalent of a heli-pad on top of a New York skyscraper. Gray clouds hovered low, obscuring whatever sky was overhead. In the distance she saw trees, something that looked like pines, conical, deep green, but with strange, branching tips. Yet there was something else odd about them, but before she could quite put her finger on it, Taso took her by the elbow.

“Come. This way.”

He led her toward the edge of the hard-packed area, to what looked like the edge of a cliff. He stopped, turning to her.

“This...” With a flourish he pointed to what was below. “This is my province.”

Spread out below them was a city, clusters of buildings of all sizes, streets winding through in complex patterns.
