A noise startles me awake, I must have drifted off to sleep. I quickly open my eyes and I feel alert this time. I feel the bond burning inside of me, I feel angry. I dig into it to give me strength.

I hear a siren blasting a deafening sound and I cover my ears with my hands. At the same time a light starts pulsing and smoke starts filling up the cell block. The lights are like a mixture of laser and strobe lights. The smoke makes it difficult to see, it seems its purpose is to disturb one's vision, but it only makes me cough.

I scramble to my feet as fast as I can. Once standing I rip a piece of fabric off my ruined pants and bind it across my ears to try to muffle the noise. It doesn't do much, but every little thing helps. I rip off another piece and tie it across my mouth and nose, to reduce the smoke's impact.

I look at my weapon and see it’s a bone. I do not want to know what creature has bones this big, but I am confident it will make an excellent weapon. Leaning heavily on it I reach into myself to find my calm, so I can be ready for anything.

I prepare myself and then I wait...

Something is happening on the ship and that something is making the aliens' alarms go crazy, but so far, it’s not getting into the cell block.

Then I hear crashing sounds from the right, where I think the exit is. I also hear screams and a terrifying roar. My inner bad-ass bitch is beginning to retract, and I kick her butt. No, I am going to be brave and face whatever is coming. My bond is pulsing, suddenly I am absolutely sure that D’Var is here. That fuels my inner bad-ass bitch and I take a couple of wobbly steps towards the door to my cell. Ready to pummel anything that comes near me.

Suddenly, with a terrible noise, the door to the cell block crashes open. The alarm abruptly stops blaring, followed by the sounds of gunfire, a piercing scream, and then... silence.

I lick my lips and I look at the hole in the wall where the door was. A shape forms inside it, I have to actively keep myself from peeing my pants. There’s a literal monster stalking towards me.

Tall, horned, muscled and when it nears me, I see it’s covered in blood. A menacing growl sounds, and the door is ripped out of my cell. It stalks towards me, and I lift the bone. I scream as I bring it down on the monster, but it just grabs it in his enormous claws, tossing it to the side. It grabs me by my waist and hoists me against him.

My bond is pulsing like crazy and then I see. It’s him. My D’Var.

D’Var brings a clawed finger up towards my face and caresses my cheek. Then he cups my nape and his mouth crashes down on mine in an all-consuming kiss.
