Eve

I would’ve liked to talk over the cave paintings with Gallix and Ronan a little more. I might not have had my mother’s education, but I’d obviously inherited her interest on the subject. Some of my favorite bedtime stories from her had been the ones about the indigenous people who had left their marks on the caves just south of the sectors, or in the mountains in countries across the sea.

I would’ve liked to go find Marisa, too, and once she was safely back at camp, I would have really liked to discuss these human-Lunarian marriages that Gallix and Ronan had been talking about.

But before we could set about doing any of that, the Rutharians showed up. I didn’t know much about this evil alien race, aside from the fact that they were enemies of the Lunarians and had a fondness for abducting humans from Earth, but already I was coming to hate them just as much as Gallix and Ronan did.

They certainly had a special way of showing up at the worst possible moment, at any rate.

“You didn’t have to carry me,” I complained as Gallix placed me back on my feet at camp. I was feeling a little queasy from our return trip. I knew that Lunarians could move fast, but I’d never realized exactly how fast.

“I did and you know it.” Gallix forced a smile that I assumed was meant to look charming, but it was so strained that it missed the mark. “Besides. It was nice, wasn’t it, being in my arms?”

“It was—sort of.” I rubbed my stomach and moved to the pool of water for a drink. “But now my stomach is all screwed up.”

“No,” Ronan called out to me. He was over by the wreckage of our ship—Bessie—talking to Pax and Ora. “Come to the ship. There is no time.”

“Go,” Gallix said. “I’ll take care of you.”

I went over to the burned-out cargo hold of the ship and stood close to Ora. It wasn’t easy. Where she had once clung so close to my side, now she was hanging off Pax like she was drowning and he was the only thing keeping her afloat. The scent of fried electronics and smoke damage was only making my stomach feel worse. But true to his word, Gallix moved in an orange blur to the pool and back. When he reappeared at my side, he was holding a handful of water in his cupped palms.

“There,” he said as he raised the water to my lips. “Drink.”

It was such an intimate thing, pressing my lips to Gallix’s palms like this and drinking water from his hands. I’d never had anyone do anything like this for me before—though, I guessed there’d never been any need. Back in Sector Five, I was always the strong one, the one who took care of others. But here on Edon…

“Thank you,” I told Gallix after I’d drained his palms.

Here on Edon, I was a little more helpless than I would have liked.

“You’ve gotta stop thanking me, Eve,” Gallix said with a smile.
