Chapter 4
Vicki Varsa
I felt the hard floor underneath me. I must have fallen asleep. I woke up and looked at the white floor. It looked like I was in the meditation room of the retreat facility. I slowly sat up. Bridget was at my side.
“I had the strangest dream. Did that crazy Nancy girl put drugs in our tea?” I asked.
“Vicki, wake up. It is not a dream,” Bridget said.
“And I did not put drugs in your tea,” Nancy said. I sat up and looked around the room for the first time. Nancy was sitting against the wall on the floor. She was covered in dirt. She was not her usual spunky self. Bridget was sitting next to me; she was also very dirty. I felt lightheaded.
“It will pass,” Bridget said as she stood up.
“What will pass? What the hell is this?” I said.
"Vicki! Big blue aliens, remember?” she said.
“Fuck.”
“Yes, exactly. Fuck,” Nancy said.
“What happened exactly? You cannot tell me that what I saw was real,” I said trying to understand and process.
“Yes, it is. Do you see this,” Bridget said walking around the room and then stopping at what looked like a panel. “It's a door. It's locked. I don't even know how to open it; you know why? Because we are on a freaking spaceship, that is why!”
“No.”
“Yes, Vicki. It is true. We were all on a nighttime hike thanks to her over there,” Bridget said pointing at Nancy.
“It's on the agenda, okay!” Nancy shouted.
“But then you spotted something in the sky. Remember? Then it came toward us and opened, and suddenly tall blue alien men were standing there telling us that they were going to take us from Earth. That is exactly what has happened. They released some sort of chloroform or something that knocked us all out. I saw almost every woman fall to the ground before I passed out too. When I woke up, I was in here with you two. That is as much as I know,” she said.
“Unbelievable,” I said.
“Yes, it is; I thought the same thing when she told me the story twenty minutes ago when I woke up,” Nancy said.
“No, no, this isn't happening. What do we do?” I said.
“What can we do?” Bridget said.
“It's not like we can call the police,” Nancy said.
“Well I won't sit here and just take this,” I said.
I walked to the panel on the wall and began banging my fist against it. “Hello! Open this door! This is bullshit!” I shouted over and over.
"Do you think they really care?” Bridget said.
“Open the door!” I shouted again.
The door slid open. I stepped back. I actually wasn't expecting it to open.
“Who is making all of this noise?” a deep voice said.
Suddenly a very tall blue alien stepped into the room. I remembered him. He was the one that I had walked up to. But now in the light, I could see him more clearly. He was at least ten feet tall. His skin was a beautiful blue color. He had a long black hair in tendrils down to his shoulders. His eyes were a piercing brown that seemed to have light coming from them. He did not wear a shirt, and there were geometric patterns on his skin in a darker blue color, almost like the pattern of a tiger. He had hard abs on his stomach, like an eight-pack. The strong muscles were chiseled leading down into his trousers that were a tight material that reminded me of a wetsuit for surfing. Large boots went up to his knees. There were all kinds of gadgets hanging from a belt around his waist, including what looked like futuristic guns. My breath was taken away as I looked at him. He was absolutely massive and so strange looking, yet there was something very attractive about him, and I felt ashamed for even having this thought. He was an alien for crying out loud.
“I am. I am the one making all of that noise. I demand to speak to someone in charge,” I said standing up tall.
“I am the one in charge. I am Captain Alicron Qinov,” he said crossing his large muscular arms across his chest.
“Well, Captain, my name is Vicki, and I demand that you tell us what is going on here. Whatever it is that you were doing, you cannot do it to us,” I said.
“I told you before, human female. We are Kynon. We came to your planet to take human females back to our own planet of Xeion. How many times do you need to hear this? I knew human females were good for mating, but I did not expect that you would be this unintelligent,” he said.
“What! How dare you. You can't just take humans from Earth. We are not property. I demand that you put us back where you found us right now,” I said.
The room filled with a boisterous laugh. The tall blue alien was laughing at me.
“What makes you think you can make demands, human? You will do as I say. You will stay in this room until we arrive on Xeion. You now belong to me,” he said. “All twelve of you human females are now my property.”
“Twelve? Where are the others?” I asked.
“We have more rooms like this on the ship. They are home to the human females that you were with. Enough of your questions. Do not bang on the door unless one of you are dying or ill,” he said turning around.
“Wait. Where are we? Are we still on Earth?” I asked.
“No. We left Earth hours ago. We are somewhere near the Karelian system. I will have food and drink brought to you. Settle in; it is going to be a long journey.”
He walked out, and the door slid closed behind him.
“Did that just happen?” I said.
“Did you hear what he said?” Bridget said.
“Yes, that we are not on Earth. Do you really think we are in space?” I said.
“No, not that: the mating part,” Bridget said.
“Yes, I did. Do you think he really means that? We can't possibly be expected to have sex with aliens. This is not real,” Nancy said.
Suddenly it hit me. I had missed that part of his speech. I was so focused on getting him to let us go. But they were right. They were taking us hostage to make us into some sort of sex slaves.
“Oh no, no, this is not going to happen. No way are we going to become some sort of space sex slaves. We have to get out of here. This is complete bullshit. We have to get him to let us go and take us back to Earth,” I said.
“I agree but how do you expect to do that? Your speech and demands did not exactly work,” Bridget said.
“They are so much larger than we are,” Nancy said.
“But maybe there are more of us than them. He said that there were more women on the ship. How many of these aliens do you think are on the ship?” I asked.
“There were ten women on the hike plus myself and another staff employee, Scarlet Grant. She is the yoga teacher,” Nancy said.
“What does that matter? Even if there were fifty of us women, that does not change the fact that we are all separated, we are on a spaceship in space, and there are very tall and powerful aliens that can put us to sleep in an instant,” Bridget said.
“Well, it's not like you were coming up with any ideas. We have to get out of this. We have to get home,” I said to her.
“I agree. But how? Do you know how to fly the spaceship? Even if we took control, we would crash the damn thing,” Bridget said.
“So you are just going to give up? You were just all right with becoming a sex slave to one of these blue alien men?” I shouted.
She shouted back. We got into an argument and Nancy join in as well. This was all that we could do: bicker with each other. We were all very scared and confused. And all the while, all I could think was: I wonder if Captain Alicron Qinov will end up picking me as his chosen mate? It made me feel completely disgusted with myself. Why did that thought keep entering my mind?
