Story: Nova

The stench was unbearable, I shot up ready to hurl.

Nothing came out, I was just dry heaving.

I could hear a dripping noise and someone I think was praying.

Moving closer to the prayer I bumped into something.

Reaching out I felt the rusty thick bars, oh my god bars?

"I'm in jail" I muttered. "I don't know what jail is but you are in a dungeon" a raspy voice said.

"Who said that?" I called out. The raspy voice didn't reply. I did the only thing I could to let out the negative emotions. I started screaming at first with no words then all I could scream was "Let me out!" over and over again.

A leathery face pushed against the bars as I paused to breath.

It seemed old and worn "You really should stop that; he won't be happy".

"Who are you? "Who is he, Cresilas?" my hoarse voice asks.

"I don't have a name and Cresilas left with a heavy coin after bringing you here".

There was too much going on I was bought?

I'm not even valuable. "I will call you old man Gus" I tell leather face.

He seemed like a Gus. Gus cocks his head like he was contemplating it, before scratching his beard and eating a bug that crawled out of it "I like it".

"Gus can you let me out?" I beg. Gus let out an ugly raspy laugh "I don't have a death wish, you belong to him now".

"You keep saying he like I am supposed to know who you are talking about" I say annoyed.

Before Gus could answer he backed away making himself look small as two large guards came to my cell. They were brawny and wore helmets that were the shape of a rhinos head. "Out!" one bellowed as the other unlocked the doors. "On second thought I like it down here" I say quietly.

"Grab it" the one who bellowed told the one who unlocked the doors.

The rough hands grabbed me and put me over its shoulder, and started walking behind the one who seemed in charge and the other prisoners.

"Get your hands off me you big oaf!", "this is a violation of my rights!

" "I swear you will be sorry if you don't put me down this instant".

I yelled the entire way to where-ever we were going. I heard a door open and felt an intense energy. The guard dropped me and stepped away, I felt pain shoot through my body. "You motherfucking asshole" I yelled slamming my body into him.

It wasn't a good idea because a pain shot through my shoulder. "Such horrible manners, and in the presence of his greatness" I heard someone say. I was mad between being captures, threatened, drugged and manhandled I had about enough.

"I don't give a fuck that I am in the presence of his greatness these guards are brutes" I yell. I heard a bunch of gasps and murmurs before "Insolence!" the same voice from earlier yelled.

An eerie hush fell over the room as all the hair on my arms started to raise. "Bring it to me!" a deep calm voice commanded. I felt the guard from earlier yank me by the hair and pull me toward it, as I was pulled the intense energy became stronger.

My eyes landed on a pair of feet in what seemed like expensive shoes.

Looking up I nearly creamed my pants the most, no the most unrealistic attractive man was staring at me.

I mean I though Henry Cavil was hot but this guy blew him out of the water.

The man was chiseled I mean everywhere, those cheek bones my god.

"What is it?" I heard someone ask. "I have never seen the likes of it before" the voice from before said.

The man grabbed me by the chin his eyes were unusual the left one dark brown and the other grey. He turned my head from side to side taking me in "Where did it come from?" he turned to a scaly reptile looking man, when he answered I found that he was the one who shouted "Insolence".

"Cresilas brought it your excellence" he says with disgust. "Mmmh" was his response as his eyes turned back to me. "What are you?" his voice boomed. I was still annoyed being touched without permission and being called "it". So I did what any sane person would.

I slapped his hand away from my chin and stepped away from him. I saw the shock on his face as well as the utter disbelief on the reptile man. I felt a blade on my neck "now, now let's hear this creature out" the man looked at me with curiosity.

The blade withdrew from my neck "But your excellence, it struck you". "It did Bower, but it did not draw blood" he didn't say anything else, but Bower closed his mouth. "What are you?" his deep voice said again.

"Maybe it is unintelligent" Bower snickered. "Okay first of all Bower I don't like your tone, I am intelligent. Second, I am a human and third I am not an 'it', I am female, and I have a name." I scowl.

"What is a hue-man?" the deep voice asked. "It is a type of monkey your excellence" Bower said. "I am not a monkey; I mean maybe we evolved from them a long long time ago but we are completely different" I spit.

"Come" the deep voice beckons me. "I am not a dog" I say annoyed. "You will do as the prince demands!" Bower screeches. Rolling my eyes, I walk toward him "What?" I mumble. He stands up revealing how tall he was, I gasp as the 6ft man bends over and sniffs me.

"You stink" he wrinkles his nose. "Oh I'm sorry being captured doesn't leave anytime to shower" I lace my voice with sarcasm. "Mmmh" his deep voice says before yelling "Alara!"
