Abducted from Earth and now I'm being sold...CassandraI'm losing hope of finding freedom. After being abducted, all I wanted was to escape the aquatic species planning to sell me. They feed me cold slop every day, rough me up when I don't do what they want, and keep me in a cage with standing room only.One day I'll turn the tables, l put them in this dirty cage. It's all I think about, because remembering my life on Earth is too painful. They snatched me when humans had finally organized to fight the environmental disasters making the planet uninhabitable. I was taking core samples when the aliens snatched me. Earth needs me more than these horrible aquatics.MathadarI am insignificant and dispensable. Queens don't value warriors. I've lost my father and my brothers have been dispersed throughout the fleet. I'm alone.That changes when I see an alien Queen for auction in the city square. My blood boils seeing her hands tied above her head and clothing ripped, exposing her pale, ripe body. She struggles to escape and I imagine her moving on top of me. May the goddess forgive me for such deviant thoughts about the delicate and helpless Queen.When her eyes lock with mine nothing in the verse will stop me rescuing her. Not even the fury of my own commanders will keep me from her. She is going to be mine.
