The click of my door unlocking had me whipping off the VR goggles and tucking them behind a couch pillow. I didn’t know for sure if I would get in trouble for having them, but I wasn’t risking getting them taken away. They’d been my major source of entertainment for the last forty-eight hours and I didn’t want to give them up. A girl could only surf the Draax’s version of internet for so long. And considering that everything was written in Draax… well, it wasn’t exactly entertaining.

The door opened and I grinned at the Draax who walked in. “Sigan!” I hurried over, ready to do something stupid like hug him.

“Hello, human,” Sigan said.

He almost looked happy to see me. Before I could hug him, the second Draax walked in. I immediately backed away, staring suspiciously at the blue-eyed alien, my eyes dropping to the sword that hung around his waist. I knew Krey was Galan’s best friend, but what if he’d said something to the king about what he’d seen? What if the king was pissed and had ordered my head to be chopped off for banging Galan?

Did you really bang him though? I mean… you didn’t even really get to feel what it was like to –

Shut up! Now is not the freaking time, brain!

I stared suspiciously at the device Sigan was holding in his right hand. It was silver and cylindrical in shape and the end narrowed into a … shit… that was definitely a needle. Lethal injection, maybe? I supposed that was better than getting my head cut off.

“Hello, human,” Krey said.

“Hey.” I continued to back up until my ass bumped into a kitchen chair.

“What is wrong?” Sigan said.

“Nothing. What, uh, what are you doing here, Sigan?”

He held up the needle. “To give you this.”

“So, lethal injection,” I said. “I can think of worse ways to die, I guess.”

Sigan stared at me. “I have not missed your madness, human.”

“Thanks, big guy.” I stared at Krey. “You just couldn’t resist telling the king what happened between Galan and me, huh?”

“What happened between the human and Galan?” Sigan turned to Krey.

“Nothing. The human’s brain is probably rattled from spending so much time alone. You know how humans are, Sigan,” Krey said. “They need to spend time with their own kind.”

“Well, then I guess this is a good idea.” Sigan held up the needle.

“After all we’ve been through,” I said. “Thanks a lot, Sigan. I thought you liked me.”

“I do not dislike you, but I do not know you well enough to say I like you either,” Sigan said. “Come here, human.”

“I don’t even get a last meal? One phone call to my family to say goodbye?”

“What is she babbling about?” Sigan said.

Krey shrugged. “I have no idea.”

“Prisoners on death row get a last meal before they’re killed,” I said.

“Killed?” Krey said.

I pointed at the needle. “Lethal injection. Poison straight into the old veins.”

Sigan rolled his eyes. “Oh, for Krono’s sake. You are so dramatic, human. You are not being killed.
