CHAPTER FIVE

Queen Kunova, to my surprise, was much shorter than Queen Lisa at only about five feet three inches. She was so much shorter than her guards that I actually did not get a good look at her until the welcoming party that night. Queen Lisa sat in the middle, Marriah to her right, and Oya stood behind them. Queen Kunova sat to her immediate left. Besides the height difference, they did resemble each other. She appeared younger and less intimidating.

She had her hair in really small twist, making it looked kind of crinkled. She had half of it down, and the other half on top of her head looking a lot like a crown. Queen Lisa demanded attention and respect with her height, tone, and demanding presence. Queen Kunova, on the other hand, looked as if she was born to be a Queen, with her aura and demeanor. Whenever I would glance at the table, she was never saying too much, but listening to and watching intently the comings and goings of everything and everyone around her.

Next to her was her eldest daughter, Kunova II, looking the spitting image of her mother right down to the nose; she was just an inch or so shorter. To the left of Kunova II sat her younger sister Vanessa. She was taller than them both, taller than me too, but not as tall as Queen Lisa.

They all had their individual guards behind them, tall muscular women, so no one would dare approach the table.

Those of us who could handle the weather were ordered to set up camp around the compound. Some of the males, surviving children, and suitwearers were sent underground to recuperate and get checked by medical. Zander and I found ourselves near each other again, which suited me just fine. She’d saved my life. I trusted her.

We were setting up in relative silence when I decided to start up a conversation. “You know, you are the only person who’s not asked me what I am.”

She broke her concentration and dropped a metal frame she was carrying, “I know what it feels like for people to question what you are.”

“Because of the red hair… there are a lot of others with red hair.” I had her full regard now. “Are you messing with me?” she asked, suddenly serious.

“No, I mean, I have noticed you around but keep to myself,” I said honestly, trying to gain trust in this clan.

She laughed suddenly and I did not know what I expected her to say, “I’m one of the Third Sex.”

“Third Sex has helped humans evolve enough to survive some of the natural attacks, no?” I still wondered how we had being questioned in common.

“Well, yes,” she said and then seemed like she was looking for the right words. “Yes, there are more and more of us, especially now. But there are only a few of us at Queen Lisa’s compound.”

“I see,” I said, thinking, then finding my words, “You are human and did not hesitate to save my life.
