THIRTEEN

In seconds, the faces of the Earther members of the crew were gone, and I was left gawking at the Piccolo’s empty airlock. The muffled whistling of the wind beyond the seal was all I could hear. The breathing of every Ringer around me seemed to have ceased.

And then, a hand fell on my arm. I was looking past Cora, so I knew it wasn’t her, and the grip was too strong to be Desmond’s. Before I knew it, an attacker heaved off my seat and slung me over his or her armored shoulders.

“What are you doing?” I yelled, though I was in such deep shock, it was closer to a yelp.

“Put him down!” Cora shouted once she realized what was happening. She clutched my hand and pulled. The attacker who’d grabbed me pushed her away with ease.

“He’s coming with us,” he or she said.

“Put him down!” Cora repeated. She sprang forward, and this time, the attacker holding me seized her by the throat.

“Let her go!” I hollered. I swung my arms and kicked my feet, but each blow slammed futilely against armor as unbreakable as stone. It was like an infant throwing a tantrum because it needed to be fed. Helpless, yet again. “Don’t hurt her!”

“You pieces of shit!” Desmond growled. He pushed off the wall and dived forward, slamming into the thighs of the attacker holding me. Armored or not, he or she staggered from the force of Desmond’s blow. I dropped to the floor, and if my body was sore before, it was even more so after plummeting a few meters onto my back in Earth g.

Cora fell free as well, landing on her feet and hurrying over to me. “Kale,” she gasped, her voice hoarse from being choked.

Another of the attackers charged us and smashed Desmond in the face with the butt of his or her rifle before he could do any more damage. Blood squirted out as Desmond’s nose cracked audibly, and he toppled on top of Cora and me.

Disoriented, I groped to try to find which arms belonged to Cora. I turned my head and saw Captain Saunders right in front of me, eyes closed. The corner of my mouth was submerged in a pool of his blood, and without my sanitary mask on, the metallic-tasting liquid seeped into the cracks in my chapped lips. I gagged.

“You idiot!” an attacker barked. “He isn’t to be harmed.”

A strong hand reached into the mess of tangled, blood-soaked limbs I was trapped beneath and dragged me along the floor. Cora grabbed my ankle.

“Let him go!” she screamed. She was torn off me and pulled along the bloody floor in the other direction. Again, I was lifted over an attacker’s shoulder, too sickened and in pain to even attempt to squirm free.

I caught a glimpse behind me as the upper half of my limp body swung. Desmond covered his nose and writhed in pain next to our unconscious or dead captain. Almost every Ringer capable of moving had
