I wasn’t sure what the right move was here. I had a million questions, but I was deeply afraid of the danger that was emanating from this Vepar. There was a cruel glint in her eyes that terrified me. All I could pray was that she wasn’t able to open this cell. I didn’t think I would survive, and I knew that the Vepar women were close to as strong as the males. And we all know how well I’d fared against them...
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid that there’s been a mistake. Who are you?” I finally asked, feeling like I was antagonizing her more by not saying anything.
Obviously I should have stayed silent. The smirk she had been sporting transformed into a look of unadulterated rage.
“Don’t lie,” she seethed. My eyes widened as she hit the glass crazily.
I guess the old adage that the craziest things came in the prettiest packages was correct.
I tried to sink into the wall behind me, my eyes flickering into the hallway behind her, hoping that someone would appear soon to help me.
“I’m going to make sure that your time here is an absolute nightmare. No one touches what’s mine,” she spat the threat, finally stalking away.
I couldn’t relax until the sound of her footsteps disappeared.
What did she mean about someone touching what was hers? And the whole mates thing? As much as I wanted to tell myself it wasn’t about my three Vepar, who else could she be talking about? And my stomach dropped through me… what else hadn’t the men told me?
I shouldn’t care though. If she had been talking about Thane, Derrial, and Corran, than that was a good thing that they had someone like her to take their interest away. Right…?
It didn’t bode well though as far as the fertility experiments went. If they didn’t care about me than there didn’t seem to be anything that would stop them from using me in them.
It was all such a clusterfuck.
I turned on the movie again, desperate to quiet my mind and calm my shaking.
Thirty minutes passed and more footsteps headed down the hall. I climbed to my feet and moved to the front of my cell, not wanting to be surprised again. There was a Vepar male in a grey outfit similar to the one that Corran had changed into, pushing a cart down the hallway. He stopped in front of every cell and somehow passed a bowl full of something that was steaming to the prisoner waiting behind the glass.
I was in awe of the Vepar technology. My stomach was growling.
The Vepar handed food to the prisoner in the cell to my right and rolled his cart towards me. I waited anxiously by the glass, afraid that I was going to drop the bowl during the handoff.
Apparently I didn’t need to worry, because he didn’t even look at me as he passed right by my cell before stopping in front of the prisoner to my left.
I stared at him, not understanding what had just happened. Maybe I couldn’t eat the food as a human? So, I banged on the glass, trying to get his attention. But it was like he didn’t hear me.
Several prisoners laughed at me around me, and I realized that it wasn’t that he hadn’t heard me, it was that he was ignoring me.
Just another way to torture the unwelcome human apparently.
