Chapter Twelve

SUVI Awakened

Amanda awakened alone in the bed. Startled, she sat up to see Suvi-jean sitting cross-legged on the floor, her eyes closed, and breathing deeply. “Good morning, are you meditating already?”

“Is that what it’s called?” that voice was rich and full of confidence.

Amanda swallowed hard as Suvi-jean opened her eyes, they were a glowing amber. With a liquid grace she rose to her feet and favored Amanda with a bright smile. “Good morning, my exquisitely beautiful companion. I’ve done as you asked and released the huntress.”

“The huntress?”

“I thought it would sound less scary than the warrior, my precious delight. My oath, you are so utterly perfect, can I keep you?”

Amanda laughed at Suvi-jean’s teasing smile as those amber eyes returned to their natural green. “Yes you can, and so you must. Did you know your eyes turn amber when you meditate?”

“They do when I focus on the power of the SUVI, yes. I know we have a meeting with the captain, but is there time for food first, my treasure?”

“There is if we hurry. Get dressed and we’ll go.” Amanda swiftly washed her face and started to pull on her uniform. She felt the eyes on her and turned to see Suvi-jean watching her. “Hurry, get dressed,” she admonished, blushing deeply. Grinning, Suvi-jean pulled on her uniform and stepped into her shoes, then held the door open for Amanda.

They walked to the mess hand in hand then gathered food and joined their friends at the table. Jake watched them approach and nodded. “Hey there, warrior woman, where’s my little sister?”

“She’s right here, Jake, safe and sound as you promised,” smiled Suvi-jean, as she gently squeezed his arm. “She just invited me out to play.”

“Okay, if you say so. Can I ask what’s going on?”

“Mandy convinced me to stop trying to be human and be what I am, a SUVI woman. I’m thinking that perhaps I can integrate your little sister into the whole picture. What do you think?”

“I think you’re scary as hell like this.”

“Why, Jake? What is it about me that frightens you? You must know I’d never harm a friend, especially not you.”

He looked thoughtful for a moment. “It must be a combination of things, Jeannie. You exude confidence, and danger. Is projecting that a SUVI talent, or is it just something you developed yourself?”

“I’ve never actually thought about it,” she replied, “but you could be right. I’ll see if I can pull it back a bit. So, did I see you coming out of Carla’s quarters this morning?”

Carla turned to her, blushing furiously. “What? How could you…? Woman, that’s it for you. You’re getting way too good at this teasing thing.”

Suvi-jean leaned over and kissed Carla on the cheek. “You’re adorable when you blush.”

“Stop it, Jeannie. Mandy, make her behave. Hal, protect me.”

“Whoa, leave me out of it, I’m still recouping.”

Suvi-jean smiled and took a deep breath, her eyes had gone amber again. “You three have no idea how precious you are to me. Hal, you’re
