Chapter Four

A pallet of soft furs. Waking snuggled on her side, over and under Evangeline’s skin was cushioned. Her fluttering fingertips, resting against her cheek, were stained blue from alien cum. But she was warm, and more importantly, she was alone. Even sporting a view.

The entire wall was open to space. Either a projection or a window or an anything that advanced alien tech might have to offer so fine a vantage.

Stars in the extreme distance; closer stars zinging by. In a room that, in that moment, held space and the glories of the night sky she’d loved all her life.

And it was then Evangeline felt warm tears. From eyes they fell, to dampen the furs, though she didn’t warble or wail.

She just leaked out stuck feeling, passed it from one space to another, and grew lighter as it drained.

Emotion returned.

Bedazzlement by the stars. Acute anxiety when she dared consider how she’d gone from feeding goats, to endless nothing… to this.

This was real.

She was never going home.

Her apartment she’d worked so hard to pay for, her unfinished knitting, her massive, never-ending pile of debt, her parents and the hungry goats.

Her cheap suits and smart blouses. Her love of Cheetos.

The unfinished puzzle on her coffee table.

The smell of grass. The nightly song of katydids.

Car exhaust. Car payments. Endless car repairs. Gasoline and riding the tank of her ancient Hyundai to empty.

Tuna fish sandwiches and warm, sun-ripened tomatoes.

Men who never called back. The abortion she’d had when a condom broke and her high school sweetheart dumped her.

Endless regrets. Endless goals.

Endless space out that window.

Stars.

Burning before her. Their light blocked by whatever mechanism served as a window, but she could feel it warming her all the same.

Heat loosened cold limbs, left her groaning in pleasure as she stretched on the softest fur human flesh might know. And just as soon as that sense of comfort came, doubt rode hard on its coattails.

Doubt rocked through her like a bolt of lightning. All at once, all too much… because she was human, and startled, and in a spacecraft. She been repeatedly seeded by a giant of a being that almost looked human but was so far from one, there was really no comparison. Which made her laugh.

The caught throat noise of a fracturing thing.

An Evangeline with a brain not evolved enough for a simple information transfer. Making her keeper all the more God-like and terrifying.

To him, she must be little more than a monkey who could sign and pet a kitten.

That must be how the horny alien viewed her. Despite her state education and her efforts. Despite her love of stars and goats and family.

Forget about a life of straight As. Forget the Master’s Program in New Orleans she knew she had a real shot at. Forget helping people in pain deal with their issues and find peace once she’d become a therapist.

Forget and pin all her future on that view, those stars, the fact that life finds a way to survive even the most crazy of scenarios.
