New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Artemis was aware that he was leaning over her shoulder, watching what was on the screen over her shoulder. So she decided not to move too much when he was looking over her shoulder. I was only when he spoke that she seemed startled, was he actually making complete sentences? “Good Morning Azdrei’in” he answered as she instantly paused the show that she was watching. Her mind going crazy over the fact that he actually was able to speak well now. She was smiling brightly, not thinking about how her showing of teeth could be seen as a threat, just actually loving the fact that she was able to talk to someone and that she actually had a chance at survival after all.

She looked at his face, it was strange to be looking at an alien and not be afraid, it still made her wonder why she was trying so hard to keep him as a friend. Since she never would have wanted that of a human male, she didn’t really trust most of her kind. She had been through a few things in life and that made her very suspicious of the human race.

“How did you learn to speak that well?” she asked as she couldn’t hide her joy. She wouldn’t have to think too much about it anymore, she would just be able to speak her mind and maybe she could actually have a real conversation. “Your leader is a female? I wonder what they look like.” She said as she was just a curious woman after all. He mainly had showed men and she wondered briefly if he even had someone to love. To humans love was often the reason why they lived, to find a partner and reproduce. Often she was looked at strangely, because she wanted to become a doctor first, to specialize in fertility or even cancer. I just was something she had wished for herself. But now, everything had changed and all that effort had seemed for nothing. Her home planet was destroyed and there was no way to care for other human beings. But now, she would be able to help the new race, maybe just maybe she would be able to see space.

“And I’m glad you don’t have to kill me. So.. does that mean I can see your spaceship? That I can go into space?” she asked as her eyes then fell onto his clothing. It was stained in blood and she frowned, she couldn’t allow him to walk around in dirty clothes. “Wait with that answer.” She said as she then got up and pointed at the dirty clothes. “Come” she said as she moved back to the bedroom of her parents. Opening the closet and looking at the clothes of her parents.

Somehow the look of those clothes made her eyes water, she knew they were gone and she just felt it all coming back as she looked at her father’s clothes. He had been her hero, the man that she wanted to be like most and it did hurt her. Taking one of the shirts that her father always wore. Mostly it was with silly puns, or with names of the metal bands that he loved. But maybe it was better to give him a button up. “These were my dad’s” she said as she was able to push back the tears. She didn’t want to cry, not again.

“They might fit you.” She said as she then realized he was just as tall and broad as her own father. But her father had been a huge man, a huge man with a heart of gold. Would he answer her questions about the spaceship? Would he take her? Those were the questions that she wanted answered most quickly. She trusted him to protect her while she was there and she just couldn’t help but wonder how beautiful it was to be up there.

I am a bit ashamed to admit I watch them every single year.

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

They are amazing. I love Harry Potter. And will reply after I had some sleep :)

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Have fun. What movie are you going to watch?

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Okay good. I just thought to add some of those thoughts that are plaguing her. Since it is a lot to take in.

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Artemis worried that Azdrei’in wouldn’t be there when she woke up, and that seemed to be a worse fate than ending up dead when his kind found out. Wondering if she had made the right choice to talk to him and tell him about the fertility program. She was by no means an expert and she wondered if he had even understood what she had been trying to say. It was hard to explain things with simple words and she wondered if there was a way to make it better. Stretching before she got out of the bed and went to clean herself a bit more.

Deciding to wear a blue dress, the weather was going to be nice after all and she just wanted to show that she didn’t just wear pants and oversized t-shirts. Making sure to brush her hair and teeth before she moved into the living room. Realizing that her tablet wasn’t on the table. Did that mean that Azdrei’in was still there? Relief washed over her as she seemed to hear him snore. At least she wasn’t alone anymore. Moving to the rabbit and making sure it was fed before she went to work on her own food.

She put some oatmeal in a bowl, poured some fresh milk with it and heated it up at the microwave. It would take a few minutes and she still was very sleepy, what was that dream even about? She remembered waking up in a spaceship and a man would wake her. Realizing that it was none other than Spock. “I dreamt about you Spock” she said to the statue of the dog that stood next to the cat. “Not you you, but you know from Star Trek.” She said as she then just turned on the TV and went for another viewing of Star Trek Discovery, the first episode.

How sad what it that she didn’t even need the subtitles to understand Klingon these days. “They are coming. Atom by atom they will coil around us and take all that we are.” She said along with the Klingon on the screen. Chuckling at the screen “That are humans for you. Though your race is based on violence.” She told the screen. Realizing that she was indeed going insane. She couldn’t stop talking to herself and she wondered what Azdre would think of that. She wondered if he even was planning to keep her alive. She knew that his superiors wanted all the humans gone. But who could even blame them for that. Humankind was nothing like the Federation.

She had to admit that she always had loved the way the Klingons looked in discovery. They were dark skinned and looked like predators. Somehow she found that his species looked like that, they had the same feeling of belonging together. They were nothing like humans, who thought they were better just because of the color of their skin. It was an idiotic notion. Ever since she was little, she was the type of girl that watched Stargate SG1, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek… Hell anything that had to do with space exploration. She even had wanted to call her first daughter Michael or Samantha because of her love for those shows.

And now? There was a peaceful alien in her own home. It still felt like a dream, like she would wake up at any moment and be back at the horrible world that the humans had created. It wouldn’t be long before they had destroyed the earth after all. If Azdrei’in would walk in at that point. She was sitting on a barstool, eating the oatmeal and watching a show that was all about spaceships and space itself. The beginning music of the show playing as she looked at it with wondrous eyes. For over a year, that had been her sole source of human voices. Acting as if they were talking back at her, she wondered briefly if there were others like her. Surviving on this planet. A shudder moving over her back as she realized that the outside world was horrible.

When the ship moved to warp speed, she wondered if that was even possible. She wanted to get on that ship. She wanted to see others of his kind and touch the metal that was his ship. A childlike glee forming inside her body as she realized that maybe she would be able to get into space. To watch the earth from above in the vacuum of space. To see other planets and stardust. I was a dream come though.

What was the worst that would happen to her? That Azdre would take her as his pet. That she had to do anything he would ask of her? She wouldn’t even mind to be his servant. She just didn’t want to be on her own anymore. Swallowing the oatmeal as her mind wandered back to the moment that she talked to him about the surrogates. Would her body be able to carry their babies? Would she be willing to pay that price to stay alive?

But she would have to carry a child to term, she would have to feed it right? Or would they take that away from her? She then shook her head once more. Deciding that it was horrible to think about, no matter what happened. It could be worth it, yet they would be mistaken if they thought they could just take her child away.

It was in that said moment that the dream came back to her. It was a dream where she met the man that was sleeping in her parent’s room. Yet the next thing she knew, was that she was carrying his child. How insane was that? The human mind could do strange things when it was overworked after all. She still was human after all, when she was still in school, she never had wanted a child. But now that she was locked in the bunker. She often had wished for a man and a baby in her life. At least then she wouldn’t have to be alone. She would be able to be distracted by the child, teach it how to walk and talk and being able to touch them.

Would he take her to space? Would he even care to show her that? Or was she just going to be examined by the others of his race? She had no idea, but for now. All she cared about was to see the man again when he woke up. If he would show, she would be sitting there, watching the TV that was playing softly. Their interpretation of space travel on the screen and her bowl empty. She wouldn’t even notice him that easy, humans weren’t the ones that were hunted after all.

She will adore that. Sadly I probably won't have as much, since she had been sleeping. I could just have her dream something and then take a shower. Dressing in something new and moving out and making herself some outmeal and coffee. Maybe she pulls out her phone and watches another episode of start trek when he is sleeping. Making sure to use headphones. I will figure it out. Though she will be intrigued by the other aliens of his race.

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Artemis watched him as he listened to her, realizing that he did seem to understand and when he sat down and told her it was too many. She smiled “Yeah it’s a bit much.” She told the man before her. She wanted to make sure he slept and she knew that he was tired as well. “Yes, it is night.” She said as she showed him the image of the cameras outside. Smiling brightly at the stars that showed on screen, the loss of light, had made the stars shine bright and it was one thing she loved in this terrible world. She then realized he had spoken about the specialist on the spaceship. Realizing he probably needed his device to contact her. And so she decided to take a risk, going to draw him the door inside and outside. Showing him where the keypad was and then writing down the 7 figure code for the man.

“I’ll be right back.” She said as she realized he probably wouldn’t even understand what she was saying. Making her way over to the door and then pressing in the code. The door gave a huge release of air before the sluice opened, having her walk in and then pressing the button to lock the door on the inside and the one on the outside. She had a visual alarm that blinked when there were dangers nearby and so she just decided to move fast. Going to the birdcage and picking it up, the cage of faraday was keeping it so that his device wasn’t working. Showing that the humans did understand physics. Artemis herself, always had loved science and wished that she was much more intelligent. Jogging back to the safety of the bunker and doing the things needed to get back inside.

She then placed the birdcage on the table before him. “Have a good night.” She said as she then realized it wasn’t fair for him to sleep on the couch. “Come.” She said as she left the cage and used her hands to lead him to her parents room. Opening up the door for him, and pointing at the bed. “Bed” she said as she then opened the other door that led to the bathroom. Giving him a smile as she then showed it to him. “Bathroom, shower” she said as she then went to turn on the shower. It was set to a higher temperature and she held her hand under it. Hoping that he would understand. He would probably figure it out, and so she yawned once more.

“See you tomorrow.” She said as she then left the room and went to that of her own. Closing the door behind her and making sure that he couldn’t see her while undressing. Making her way over to the shower and letting the warm rays move over her. Cleaning herself from all the dirt that had sat there from the moment that she had been hunting for the rabbit. “Alexa turn of the lights in living room.” She told the AI. “Dim the lights until off when sleeping. Turn lights on slowly automatically when we wake up.” She told the AI after it would tell her that it had understood her commands.

It was going to be a short night, though she felt like it wouldn’t matter if she slept longer this one time. Cleaning her whole body, drying herself off and laying herself down into the bed. The tabled remaining on the table as he would be able to use it if he wanted to. She barely had thought about teaching him more, she was just happy that she no longer was on her own. And why was it that Azdrei’in seemed beautiful to her? She realized that she never really had felt that way about a human man, as a teen she always dreamt about falling for a Klingon or an elve. It was silly, and she believed it to be rather innocent.

“Alexa. Softly play ‘Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets.’” She told her computer. She just liked the idea of a voice talking to her. She didn’t think he would be able to hear it, at least he wouldn’t have heard it if he had human ears. She put herself under the covers and just let that voice lull her to sleep. For the first time in over a year, she was talking to someone again. She just hoped that he wouldn’t leave her on this planet.

It shouldn’t come to a surprise really that her dreams were of her being on that ship. A mix of Star Trek and this new world. Where the ship would be able to translate what they were saying, where she actually could explain the workings of humans to the creatures that had taken her up from the earth. They had wanted to end all humans, just to save the planet and their own species. Oh, how beautiful outer space was. The windows showing her how beautiful it was, today that dream didn’t seem as farfetched as it could be.

I'm going to have her show him how to use the door. Since she is tired and she realizes that he probably needs to hunt. Leaving out her tabled and he could use that as well. She is starting to trust him though.

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

It would be interesring if he has to save jer from them. I will probably reply later on. I need to figure out how she is going to let him out. She will get him his device though.
