London

After Vyr sliced open my hand, I barely had a second to absorb the pain before Vyr was physically restraining Chyn from lunging at me. He held Chyn from behind and slammed our sliced palms together.

Chyn bucked and roared through it all. After he tore himself free, he had me on my back with his hand on my throat. I really thought I was going to die. I saw the murderous intent in his eyes. But just as quick as he’d grabbed me, his eyes rolled back in his head and he fell off and to the side, completely passed out. I’d never seen him so peaceful.

Now I roamed a new moon.

Vyr hadn’t wanted us to stay on Latari, so without much choice, I went with them. I couldn’t stay there alone, and even though I wanted to be as far from Chyn as physically possible, I was stuck. Vyr may be apologetic, but he had flat-out refused to take me home. His loyalty was to Chyn, not me.

This new moon was also barren, except it didn’t even have the dark Juldo vines. It looked a lot like how I imagined our moon at home looked. With one glaring difference. I could breathe. There was a shimmer high up above and circling the moon. I imagined that had a lot to do with its breathability, but Vyr was too busy guarding Chyn’s unconscious body to answer any of my questions. And when he wasn’t doing that, he was disappearing to check on Vivian and their daughter. Chyn hadn’t woken up at all.

I kicked a moon rock with my sandaled foot, disappointed when it dropped right to the ground.

There was also gravity.

I’d been stuck here for at least three days. At least, it felt like that, but I had no way of telling on a moon that circled a rogue star so slowly, I’d yet to see it completely dark. I was bored.

I lay down in a mound of moon dust and made my very own space angel, snickering.

I hated traveling. My dad had always been trying to get me to visit new places and gain new experiences, but I doubted he’d had making space angels on alien moons in mind. Or bonding eternally to an alien. Hell, he would have been ecstatic if I’d just left the east coast.

Look at me now, Pop.

I fell asleep for a while then rolled to standing, shaking all the dust off my blue silk pants. It made my hair and back itch and I immediately wanted a shower.

Trudging back to the underground bunker, I had a good cry. My head was fuzzy by the time I climbed back down the rope ladder Vyr had hung for me. A two-story hole in the moon.

The halls were dark and endless. I wondered how Chyn had put this bunker here by himself. Vyr had told me it was Chyn’s top secret hideout. Or his “private home.” But still, how did he do it? Then again, maybe he’d found it.
