Escape

Kara looked at Tir across the dining table, “Is that all you are going to say?” She had been alone all day and was desperate for some conversation.

“I’m not going to share classified information with you. When the Jahay lose this war, which they undoubtedly will, Earth will pay reparations with the rest of the Jahay allies. I’m not going into any details about it.”

Kara frowned. She was exasperated with her monotonous existence as a prisoner on her husband’s ship. Every day was almost the same. She was confined to his quarters without any communication off-ship. In the mornings, she studied both the Alliance spoken and written language, and she frequently practiced speaking Alliance with the smart mirror in the bathroom. In the afternoons, she would try and break into her husband’s computer to access outside communication or anything that might aid in her escape. Escape was constantly on her mind. Sometimes she was allowed to meet her doctor, John, the only other human onboard, for the midday meal in the mess hall, but that rarely happened anymore after she tried to run away from her guards and succeeded for about ten minutes to allude them. Ten minutes is a long time to be gone on an Alliance Starship. Occasionally when she was very lonely, she would ask Sera, the slave artist, aka prostitute, to visit. But Kara tried to limit those intimate visits to once a week because the shame of paying for someone to see you was exhausting as well. “I am going crazy here. Am I your wife or prisoner? You must choose.”

“If I could trust you, you would not be confined to my quarters, but every time I have given you a bit of freedom, you have proved that you have no loyalty to me. I saved you, Kara. I saved your ship and crew. I have not treated you unjustly. If you were me, would you let me roam around your ship in the middle of a war?” he asked.

“I’d never be in your position. I would never keep a prisoner-wife-husband-whatever, you know what I mean, in the first place.”

“And you honestly can’t imagine a scenario where you would have rescued me, and we would have fallen in love?”

“I’m not in love with you,” she said defiantly. “This is lust.” She looked into his green eyes and then said, “And if I would have rescued you and we fell in love, then you would not want to escape. You would follow me to Earth, and we’d live there forever.”

“I like your confidence, that I’d just give up everything to live on a little insignificant planet on the edge of the galaxy. I like this fantasy, tell me more about our human home,” he said softly.

“It wouldn’t be cold and muted like here, human homes are warm and colorful, and we can eat when we want. We can do what we want anytime.”

“It is unfair to compare life on a ship in the middle of a war to your home during peacetime.
