Chapter 6

She wasn't sure if her abrupt departure had confused the aliens or if they just knew she wasn't going to get far, because no one followed her. She heard Trev shouting her name and the pain in his voice made her want to turn back, but she couldn't.

She paused just long enough to wrap the fur around her body, and then she went back to the bedroom and got dressed. As soon as she was clothed, she began packing all of the things she'd brought from Earth. If she was going to be forced to leave, and she obviously was, then she at least wanted to be ready to bring her belongings with her.

She was still finding clothes and pushing them into the bags when she heard a noise behind her. The same silent man who had dragged her out from under the bed was standing in the doorway. At least she thought it was the same one. It was hard to tell them apart when they all had the same black, shoulder-length hair, black eyes, and golden skin. But it did appear he could speak when he chose to.

"The general says it's time to go," he said.

"I'm just finishing." Her response was sharp, clipped, and then she ignored him as she took one last look around the room to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything. On a whim, she snatched up a shirt that belonged to Trev. He didn't wear them on the ship, but she had fond memories of him wearing it on Earth, and for whatever reason, she decided to take it. It didn't bear thinking about, and she shoved it into the bag and sealed it.

It was a task, bundling up all her bags by herself, but the watching Sadec didn't seem inclined to help until she blew out an exasperated breath and glared at him. "Can you help?" It was less of a question and more of a demand, but he took all the bags from her without comment. The smirk, she suspected, was because he was able to handle them all with one arm and no sign of effort.

She discovered the other reason when she passed him, and he used his free hand to land a hard swat across the back of the leggings she wore. They were fashionable and molded to her curves, but the thin fabric was useless at protecting her ass and the swat surprised a yelp out of her. She scuttled forward quickly and made an effort to stay out of his reach until she got to the docking area where the general and his people waited.

She didn't see Trev, and that concerned her. "Where is he?" she asked. She tried to sound unconcerned, but she knew she wasn't fooling anyone, least of all herself.

The general regarded her for a few moments and then gave a slight shrug. "He's unharmed, but he resisted so he's now unconscious. He will wake in an hour or so, but the ship has been programmed to take him out of the system before then.
