Chapter Thirteen
Lauren Kate
We walked through the fantastic city that the Kynon called home. It was beautiful. I had never seen anything like it. It reminded me of a fairytale book. It was lush and green and a lot like Earth, but more advanced. The massive white palace was high over the futuristic village. Skyscrapers and towers lined the sky. There were flying cars, small round homes, and fields of crops.
We walked through the palace grounds. I was astonished at the beauty of this place. Then I heard a familiar voice: a human voice.
“Lauren! Lauren! Stop,” I turned around and saw a familiar sight. It was Nancy, the yoga retreat coordinator. I couldn't believe it. He or she was in front of me when I have been told that she was with the cyborgs. Then I was told that she was on the mother ship of the Kynon, but here she was on their home planet. She ran over to me. She was wearing a beautiful flowing dress.
“Nancy? Oh my God. It is so good to see you. How are you here?” I asked.
She gave me a hug. “It is a very long story. I am so glad to see you. Did you come with Vicky? What about the others?”
“No. I thought Vicki was with you. It is just me and this Kynon that came here from the cyborg planet.”
“Vicki was with me. We escaped from the cyborgs. The Kynon captain brought us here. But I decided to stay, Vicky went back to the cyborg planet with the captain. She insisted on it. But I stayed here. I made a friend,” Nancy said turning behind her.
A gorgeous Kynon walked over to her and held her hand.
“Prince Laku,” Jion said to him.
“Ambassador, I heard that you returned. Welcome back. I see that you have brought a friend,” the prince said.
“Yes, and she is my friend too. We were together. This is Lauren Kate,” Nancy said. I was astonished that she remembered me, but then again, she was the coordinator and had to know everyone's names at the retreat.
“It is nice to meet you,” I said to the prince.
“Thank you for bringing her here. I am anxious to talk to someone else that was with us. Now that Vicki is gone,” Nancy said.
“I am anxious to talk to you as well. But I am curious. We were told that there are two human females on the mothership; I wonder who they are. Maybe there are more. We thought it was you and Vicky,” I said.
“It is definitely Vicky, but I don't know who the other human is. I am sure that we can find out though in time. For now, I am so glad that you are here,” Nancy said giving me another hug.
“So am I,” I said.
“You must be exhausted. I will let you get your rest. But can we meet tomorrow to speak?” Nancy asked.
“I will bring her here tomorrow,” Jion said.
Nancy hugged me again. She was giddy, and so was I.
“I will see you tomorrow then, Nancy. I look forward to it,” I said.
Then I continued to walk with Jion through the palace grounds until we were out of the palace gates. We walked down a long path. I was astounded by what I saw. There were female Kynon walking around. There weren't very many, but there were a few, and there were Kynon soldiers and a few children. It was amazing to see the village life of these interesting aliens. I was fascinated by it all. We walked down the path around the side of the large palace. There were lots of white buildings glistening as though they were made from glittering marble. We passed through a small market.
“This is the closest market to my home. It is where I come for food and necessities,” Jion said. he said it with a lot of pride. I could tell that he was very happy to be home. I liked anything that made him happy. He had been through a lot, and most of it was because of me. I like to see him this way. I could tell that a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders.
“This is an adorable market. I cannot wait to come here,” I said.
“Yes, I will show you. I am astounded that the human is here. I cannot wait to hear how she got here. It seems that everyone that crashed on the planet of the cyborgs has experienced a story of their own,” Jion said.
“Yes, I think you are right. I know that we have experienced our own as well,” I said.
“This way,” he said. He turned down a narrow path, and there was an arbor over it with lots of green vines. It was beautiful. The skinny path was lined with massive flowers that I had never seen before; it was very fragrant and beautiful.
“This is absolutely magical,” I said.
“This is it,” Jion said as we entered a large building.
“This is what?” I asked.
“This is my home. Our home. Your new home,” he said.
“This is your home? It is massive!” I said looking around at the extremely large interior. We were in the first room of the building. It was decorated with plush furniture that was both modern and alien to me. But it was beautiful as I looked around. I was excited.
“I am an ambassador after all. It is not the castle, but I like it just fine,” he said giving me a hug.
“It is beautiful. I am happy to live here, to call it home.”
“It is better than being on the cyborg Planet desert isn't it?” he teased me.
“Yes, it is. How should we celebrate?”
“I think I have an idea,” he said as he scooped me up into his arms.
I laughed. It felt good to have him pick me up like this again. He made me feel very petite and feminine. He carried me through his large home to the bedroom. He put me down on the bed and kissed me.
“The king wants you to be my wife. He has ordered it. Is that something that you want? It is moving rather fast,” he said.
“If it is the king’s order we have to follow it. You are not allowed to disobey any more orders,” I said teasing him back.
“Well, when you put it that way I guess we have no choice. You are my wife,” he said.
“And you are my husband. My Kynon husband,” I said kissing him.
We made love in our new home for the first time together. I felt happy. I truly was happy to be with him, to be with Ambassador Jion Lek.
A few days later, we were married. It was official by order of the king. I was now the wife of an alien. It was unbelievable. But I had never been happier. It turned out we weren't lying to the king; I was pregnant. I carried the offspring of my new alien husband, and we were going to start a new life together on his home planet of Xeion. For the first time, I was glad that I had been abducted by aliens.
