COMMANDER JAYLIN BRAKIN
When Serena disappeared from my sight at the gathering, my first thought was that she was trying to escape again. I took a few steps once I realized she was out of my sight, not knowing exactly how long she had been gone. It had been maybe half an hour since I had turned to look at her directly. I thought that another human female standing nearby was Serena, as she was in the same, light-blue dress. It was only once I turned my full attention to her did I realize that it was not her.
I quickly scanned the crowd, but there were many Kalazaron in the gathering space and they were much taller than the humans. Each time I moved to search for her, a grateful warrior giving me congratulations for commandeering the Earth ship stopped me.
I moved from table to table, searching for her. I did not find her. I quickly searched for the other human females that I commandeered from the Earth ship. But I did not see them.
It was then that I finally saw a familiar face. It was one of the human females from the Earth ship being led by Official Treen toward the food hall. I followed them. When I entered, I saw the other females sitting quietly. I was relieved that they were all there and that Serena must be among them. Then I realize that she was not there. Official Treen sat down with them and I looked around the crowded hall to see if maybe she was getting food and drink. But she was not.
I left the food hall and searched the gathering grounds again. Then I saw her. Serena was sitting with another human female and I could barely make out her form as she was sitting near a bonfire and there was a lot of smoke and heat glare. I was very angry when I marched to her. After I left her with the Official Treen in the food hall, I marched out to the warriors that were prizefighting. I joined them.
That night when we had returned to our quarters, I regretted making Serena my slave. She was more hassle than I could handle at the moment. I had a lot of planning to do. We were about to start training for something very big, and if it went wrong, a lot of Kalazaron could die. Now I had a headstrong human female that disappeared from my sight at will to deal with. The next morning, I punished her.
"Because of your disappearance last night, you will stay in this room all day. I will have nourishment sent to you. That is all," I said as I moved out of her quarters and she shouted in protest. That did not surprise me. I could not have her wandering around the village and base knowing that she would not obey any duties I would give her.
An hour later, we were starting on the training. Our new plan involved the raid of the capital city outpost known as Belvenreed. We had a very solid plan and the new artillery in our arsenal made it possible. As I briefed the warriors on the new raid, I left out certain information because we could never be too careful. I did not tell them that we would be taking out the Belvenreed defensive fence by hitting an electrical control panel that controlled that fence. We would have to do this by having a warrior that was very good at shooting a long distance. They would have to be posted almost a mile away to make that shot without warning the Belvenreed guards on the fence. It was a very tricky shot, and we would have to train for it.
While the shot was being made and the control panel was being taken out, we would already be in speed racers, racing across the vast desert between Belvenreed and Blue Mountain Base. It all had to happen simultaneously. It was the only way. When our speed pod racers reached the fence, it had to be down or we would be slaughtered.
We knew that the capital city had sent a new supply ship to Belvenreed outpost, and we were going to raid those supplies. It was vital to the survival of the base. Therefore, the warriors that I was briefing on this plan knew about the raid, but they did not know about the electrical control panel box. They only knew that they were being asked to polish their gun and target skills. We were all posted on the ledge of the mountain, trying to hit a shiny target half a mile away. No one could hit it. If we did not find our long shot warrior, then we would have to cancel the raid. It was the only way to take out the fence.
Then I remembered. Serena, had said that her skill set was guns. I laughed at the time that she told me, but perhaps there was something to it. We were not making progress with our own warriors. I figured I could give her a try.
"Come with me, Serena," I said to her as I opened the door to her quarters. She was lying in bed when I walked in and a part of me stared in shock. I remembered what she looked like when she lay naked on the table in Pentor’s examination room. I restrained myself from wanting to put my body on top of hers. She sat up and narrowed her eyes at me and said, "I thought you said I was locked away in here all day."
"I can keep to that promise if you wish," I said fighting back with her. Everything was an argument with this human female. It was exhausting. Yet I admired her spirit and sticking to her pride. She was a lot like me.
She got up from the bed and slipped her boots on her feet underneath her yellow dress. She grabbed a tie and pulled her hair on top of her head. This sensual way that her arms moved was turning me on and I had to look away from her. I should exercise my right to take this female the way I wanted to, to take her to bed. I could have that for tonight if I wished.
"Where we going?" she said as she walked ahead of me and out the door.
I sighed and followed her and said, "At the mountain side. You will see."
Moments later we were standing on the edge and she watched as the warriors worked on target practice. She looked over their maneuvers, shaking her head in disapproval.
"What? What is it, human female? Speak up. Can you do better?" I said, annoyed by her display of disapproval for my hard-working warriors.
"Are you saying you are going to give me a gun?" she said, putting her hands on her hips. I realized that that was a foolish idea considering she had tried so many times to fight me and my warriors.
"Do I have your word you will not turn it on us? You will only shoot at the target. If you can make it," I said to her.
Her eyes narrowed at me and she took steps to get in my face and tilted her head back at me in a proud stance and said, "I can hit that target over and over as many times as you'd like. I am better than any warrior here."
The warriors that were nearby heard her and laughed. She turned to look at them and shouted, "I can! I'll show you!"
I was impressed by her extreme strength and the way she addressed the warriors as though she was in command. Perhaps she really was a soldier as she had said. She certainly did fight and act like one. Her spirit was more closely aligned with that of a male and not a female; I found it refreshing, unique, and damn hot.
I nodded to one of the warriors and he walked a gun to her and placed it in her hands. It was a gun from the Earth ship, so she knew how to use it. Then she did something that we were not doing; she put the gun on the ground and lay flat on her belly against the very edge of the cliff. She picked up the gun and aimed it, but did not take long before she was firing. Pew!
She hit the target. All the warriors went silent. Then she hit it again and again, as though it was the easiest thing to do. Soon there was a lot of chatter between the warriors. I could overhear them talking about how good she was, and others saying how they wanted to fuck her. Those comments made me angry and jealous. I too thought all of those thoughts about her, but I was a possessive and jealous owner. I did not want anyone touching her but myself.
When she was done annihilating the target, she stood up from her belly and left the gun on the ground. Her dress was dirty. Her face was dirty. She looked absolutely ravishing as the adrenaline and pride flowed out of her and her breathing was heavy while her breasts heaved up-and-down. She was excited about the moment. She was excited that she had proven herself.
She looked around and made eye contact with every single warrior as she walked in a circle, making sure they knew that she had done that. The warriors clapped. It was the most impressive and hot as shit sight I had ever seen. We had found our long-distance shooter. But would she do it? Why would she help the alien warrior race that had killed her crew and taken her prisoner? No I could not risk it.
"You have proven your skill, Serena. You will teach us what you know," I said to her.
"Why would I do that?" she said putting her hands on her hips again. I heard a few warriors chuckle at her defiance.
"You do not have to. However, you can come here every day and teach us what you know, or you can stay locked away in the living quarters. It is up to you," I said, crossing my arms in front of my chest. Her shoulders dropped and she knew that I had her. She did not think long about it and went straight into shouting.
"The first thing you must learn is to stabilize the gun and your aim by lying on your belly. I will show you!" she said, walking around and addressing the warriors.
I watched her work closely. She was impressive. She was demanding. She was my match. I wanted her more than ever.
Over the next three days, this is how I spent my time with her. She seemed to be a happier female now that I had given her a task. It was a task that gave her authority and let her show her skills. The warriors were getting better. There was one in particular that was showing promise, but none of them were yet able to reach the target.
"Tomorrow, you will teach me," I said to her as we walked back to the living quarters after spending all day in target practice.
She stopped and looked at me surprised and said, "I am surprised that your pride would let you do such a thing."
I gave her a stern look, but then I laughed.
She was startled by my outburst of laughter and then she began to laugh as well. It was the first moment of friendly conversation that we had exchanged since I met her. It aroused and pleased me.
The next day, it was just the two of us on the cliffside as she showed me how to shoot the long distance target. It was a very dangerous position for me to be in. I had done a lot to this human female and she would want her revenge. Now she had a gun in her hand, and we were alone.
"You are not doing that right," she said to me as she sat down beside me in the dirt. I was laying on my belly with a gun aimed at the target. She put her hand on top of my hand and moved my hand to how I should aim.
"You probably can't see with all that hair in your face, Commander," she laughed as she pulled hair away from my face. Her fingers grazed my skin and I found it even harder to concentrate. She stopped and looked at me; I pulled my face away from the gun and stared at her. There was a moment, but we said nothing. She cleared her throat and said, "Don't try too hard. If you over think it, you will miss."
I turned to the target and shot. Boom! I hit it. She squealed in delight and clapped her hands. It was the first moment of soft femininity that I had seen in her. It was delightful, and I knew that I was seeing a different side of her that she had not let out before in front of me. There was a playful female hiding in there. I wanted to get to know that female.
