AURORA
I glanced at Kaidos as he stood by my door and I frowned at his words.
“What do you mean by that? Why do you keep saying that?” I asked genuinely curious.
He shrugged, “That’s because I mean it. You're the woman of my dreams.”
I scoffed and looked away. More like the woman he could torture and give nightmares. But I didn't say this aloud as I grabbed the clothes he had shoved into my arms.
Kaidos leaves and I heave a sigh, the clothes taking me down memory lane. I recall how Veronica had turned me into a maid who does the laundry. She would say she was grooming me into being a perfect wife but we both knew she was maltreating me.
When I would complain to my father he would say I was throwing a fit because I didn't like Veronica. I scoffed, why had I even been surprised my father had sold me to aliens?
Ever since Veronica entered his life it was like he was another person entirely. He never stood up for me then so why would he stand up for me now?
Tears burned in my eyes but I blinked them away angrily. None of them deserves my tears. I grabbed the clothes and left my room wondering what it was they used to wash clothes.
Do these aliens have a special gadget for washing? I wondered. I didn't think so because they wore the same clothes as humans except for the warm feeling that emanated from the clothes which felt a bit strange.
My eyes scanned everywhere as I thought of a possible exit route should the need ever arise and I have a chance. As I look around I can't find anything that would aid in an escape.
Letting out a soft sigh I felt a bit of comfort from the blue lights. Then I heard a scream from the far end of the hallway. I wanted to ignore it but the scream came again and it sounded very familiar.
“Ah… for fucksake!” I sighed as I headed to the destination of the voice.
I came upon a terrible scene that made all the blood in my body freeze as I watched. An alien guard was trying to rape a human – specifically the human girl who I had arrived with and helped me to my feet after those guards tortured me.
“Wanna join the fun?” he asked, leering at me.
I took a step back with a disgusted look on my face which made him frown.
“Then move along, bitch, before I decide to eat you up!” he cackled.
I couldn't move. I knew I should but I just stood there and watched as he ripped off her dress and roughly fondled her boobs, letting out an animalistic groan while she screamed and begged for help.
The fucker seemed to get turned on by her cries as he grabbed her neck and squeezed till she started gasping for breath before he released her.
“Yeah, be a nice little whore for me and we’ll be alright,” he said to her, ripping off the remaining shreds of her dress.
As I watched him roughly touch her and try to rip off her undies, something inside me snapped. Letting out a primal roar, I raced toward him and jumped on his back, scratching, biting, and kicking with all my strength.
“What the fuck, bitch, get off me!” he snapped.
I refused to let go even though he's released the girl. I kept hurting him until it felt like a powerful force was lifting me off his body.
My eyes widened as I let out a startled cry when he threw me roughly against the wall. The girl lay on one side of the hallway, her face streaked with tears.
The Alien turned toward me, his blue eyes glinting in the room. It felt like his eyes had embers in them while the iridescent tattoo on his body shone with energy.
It would have been mesmerizing to watch if the Alien standing before me didn't look like he had every intention of killing me.
“You blasted human!” he cursed, “You couldn't just look away. You had to get involved.”
I tried to sit up but I winced as I stared at him, “You don't have to hurt anyone. We can talk about this.”
I pleaded hoping he would be reasonable but he just merely laughed at me, his eyes glinting dangerously.
“I will make you regret not walking away,” he threatened.
I felt a shiver crawl up my spine as he walked toward me. I tried to stumble away but he caught up with me easily and grabbed my neck.
He tightened his hold on my neck as he watched me choking and gasping for breath while I clawed at his hands, my eyes widening with tears streaming down my cheeks.
“Please, spare her!” the girl I had saved earlier cried out.
He casually flinged me across the hallway and my back hit a wall. I let out a sharp groan as I felt excruciating pain.
“Next time, walk away,” he said to me.
Then before my brain could process his words I felt the severe electrical pain that jolted through my body, numbing my brain and making me weak.
I let out a blood-curdling scream as I curled up in a fetal position in an attempt to reduce the pain but it wasn't working.
“P…please!” I cried out, my body shaking from the intense pain.
“Tell me how it feels being a hero now,” he sneered at me.
My vision dimmed as I kept screaming even though my voice was weary and weak. Someone else was screaming but I couldn't focus properly again. It felt like my brain was shutting down from the intense pain.
Their voices suddenly sounded distant as I heard a scream and pleading followed by a slap and a voice yelling “Shut up bitch” but all that didn't matter anymore as I focused on passing out so the pain would stop.
“P…please, have mercy…” I trailed off, my voice hoarse from screaming.
That's when I heard a thunderous voice behind me, “How dare you touch her?”
