“Take off in rapid mode,” he commanded as he input a sequence onto the nearby keypad.
“Request granted,” the ship replied.
Serik felt the familiar pull as the ship hurled them out of Redex’s atmosphere into the galaxy above.
He took a sigh of relief. He looked at the viewscreen to the other ship that he guessed was filled with the others he had seen. He guessed that they were also soldiers who had made it out. He watched them on the viewscreen as they took off from Redex’s atmosphere, but they were going in another direction. They were headed towards another place, a place he was unsure of.
“I guess it’s not the wrong direction any planet is better than this shithole,” he murmured to himself.
Serik unstrapped himself and looked down at the small unconscious female. He unstrapped her from the helm of the shuttle and took her back into his arms. He cautiously brought her to the spare bedroom and set her down on the bed.
He had studied humans briefly in secondary school. He wished he would have paid more attention instead of looking at the glossy photos of the beautiful human females. He recalled they were much smaller species than his but they shared most of the same genetic makeup as Baat. He guessed the medicine he had would work on her.
I’m no fucking healer but Hell, here goes nothing.
Serik ripped off the top part of her uniform. He started an IV and checked her pulse. It was slow but he could have sworn that humans had a slower heart rate naturally than that of a Baat.
He breathed in a heavy sigh of relief when he realized she was stable.
Suddenly, it hit him.
Her scent.
It was a fragrant, playful aroma. It was something he had never experienced before and it was difficult to pinpoint what her scent was composed of. The best he could describe it was that she smelled like warmth, happiness, sunshine.
He brushed a long auburn lock of hair behind her ear. He had never seen such a color of hair before.
He had seen some females with pink hair and a few varying shades of deep pink from Kapra but no, not like this, her hair was vibrant and beautiful. It wasn’t pink, no it was close to red but it wasn’t red. Plus the Kapratians were a cold bunch of people. Most all of the Kapratians he had ever met were stuck up and rude. They had a low tolerance for anything different, especially him.
He studied her delicate features. He had never seen a more beautiful female in all the planets he had visited.
He inhaled deeply taking her scent into his nose. It was sweet and slightly intoxicating.
He looked over her uniform.
Surely, she is not a soldier. She is far too tiny and delicate to do any good. What sort of planet let’s their females fight their battles?
He looked over her features again.
I hope you make it baby, let’s see if I can fix you up.
He sighed when he realized she would probably be terrified of him when she awoke, that is if she awoke.
I’m one ugly mother fucker and she’ll probably scream when she seems me , he thought to himself remembering the incident with the exotic dancing girl on Jax .
What female wouldn’t be upset when she sees me?
Most females got away from them as soon as they could. His looks were a sign of evil in all of the universe it seemed. It had caused him a rather lonely and hermit-like existence on his ship. He thought back to his deep green scars a few which were on his face from a fight with goldoarg monsters in Zein .
Humans…
Humans, his mind raced as he tried to think of how their bodies worked.
They’re smart but not as technologically advanced. They didn’t do as much space travel as us. They are similar to us except their blood.
She’ll be OK. They are a durable species.
He didn’t even know the little female but he desperately wanted her to live.
