the officers escorted them home flying ahead of them in their own Plane with the red and blue
lights flashing from the roof
when Daisuke drove the plane into the garage
the officers stayed outside the house parking across the bottom of the driveway
so no one could leave the house unless they moved their plane
"Daisuke! sienna! you guys are back what's going on?"
Zane said as they walked into the house to find everyone worriedly waiting for them
"who is this?" Melody asked
seeing the little girl clutching unto siennas side
"This is Sadeska, everyone," Sienna said softly
"she is a Huassain child who was kidnapped by hunters"
the authorities have been notified" Daisuke added "and they are working to rescue the other kids they are also going to catch the hunters,
so the Planetary Guardians are dealing with that, and we are under protective custody until they have been caught."
"oh, so the kid is going to be staying with us?" Kaleb asked
"Yes" she nodded
"Sadeska will stay for now," Daisuke said
"Sadeska this is our family," Sienna said to her
"This guy is Zane and this is his wife Melody they are like mom and dad to us," sienna said introducing the members
Sadeska nodded and shyly shook hands with Melody and Zane
"This is Kanna and Kaleb they are big brother and sister," sienna said Sadeska giggled as she met the identical pair
"This is Liam," sienna said"he is big sisters boyfriend"
"you mean they are courting? but not mates yet?" Sadeska asked
"since you understand it like that yes we are," Kanna said with a smile
"So now you've met everyone," sienna said
"do you want to get cleaned up and have something to eat?"
"yes" Sadeska replied "thank you very much"
"come with us," Melody said holding out her hand to her
Sadeska went to her and Melody and Kanna took the child away to the elevators
"why were they kidnapped?" Zane was first to ask as soon as the children were out of earshot
"they intended to sell the children as exotic pets to wealthy people," Daisuke said with his lip curled up in disgust a look of anger in his eyes
"it's awful I had no idea there was such a thing as a black market for Huassain children," Kaleb said
"I honestly don't think there is normally," Daisuke said "Agent Orizen said they only hunt by special order for their clients so I think it depends entirely on who was crazy enough to order the children."
"thats an illegal child enslavement and trafficking trade," Liam said
"they are people! not animals!" Sienna said "it's absolutely revolting"
"what will happen when she becomes and an adult? and they realize she's not a cute pet anymore?"
the looks on the faces of all the guys were extremely grim telling her the outcome was not good sienna went pale
"then it's a good thing these kids were able to escape," she said "how long until they rescue the others?
"they will contact us when they do," Daisuke said "in the meantime,
let's do what we normally do and just take care of the little one until she is able to be returned safely to her parents"
ok ill go check on her sienna said she left and took the elevator finding the girls in her room
"Sadeska is taking a bath" Melody said "we just showed her how to use the hot water and such
and we gave her a new toothbrush and everything shes old enough to do those things on her own
Kanna said and we picked out some clean clothes for her
"she has been through a lot" sienna sighed "ok you guys have this in hand"
"ill prepare something for her to eat bring her down when she's done and dressed"
"sure don't worry we'll help take care of her" melody assured her "trust your big sisters"
"didn't we take good care of you when you got here?" Kanna asked
"yes you did" sienna replied with a smile
"then what are you worrying about?" Melody asked smiling
"thank you both seriously," sienna said
"no need to get all mushy" Kanna said giving sienna a gentle push out the door
sienna went back down to the kitchen and began to put together a meal for their young guest
"hey, may I help?" Daisuke asked joining her he came into the kitchen and sanitized his hands
"given that you are our resident Huassain I am sure you will know more about what to feed her than I do," sienna said with a grateful smile
he chuckled "this will be our first time preparing a meal together for a Huassain Child
should we consider it as early practice for our own child?"
she flushed red thinking about it knowing that Daisuke could not have children yet, he had told her he wouldn't be able to until he reached full maturity as a Huassain male which would occur sometime in his mid-thirties
he would reach peak maturity and his body would start producing the viable genetic material that would cause his mates pregnancy but at present, he was still too young and not yet a fully matured male
so they had many years to spend together as a childless couple before they had to worry about the possibility of children
"I guess we could?" she said softly
he pressed a kiss to her cheek nuzzling her briefly together they prepared the meal
putting meat to grill in the autocooker while preparing the dishes to go with it and getting juice out of of the fridge
soon they had food prepared and set it on plates as Sadeska, Melody, and Kanna reappeared
Sadeska, was wearing a T-shirt and clean jeans and one of the black Silver Shadows hoodys that was being sold as merch
her hair was washed and styled and even her furred ears and tail were brushed
she looked clean and her eyes were bright and inquisitive
she no longer looked scared it seemed Melody and Kanna had worked their magic on her
"hey, Sadeska did you enjoy our bath?" sienna asked greeting her with her hug
Sadeska buried her face in siennas tummy hugging her around the waist
"The bath was great and you smell so nice its really comforting sienna," she said
"well, that's nice to hear I guess!" Sienna said with a smile "are you ready to eat? we made a nice meal for you"
"yes please thank you" she replied
"I prepared the meat for you so I hope you like it," Daisuke said
"thank you" she flushed sitting down at the table
"I never imagine the prince of Huassain would make my food!" she giggled "other than getting kidnapped coming to Prylea and meeting you guys is really cool"
Daisuke smiled and nodded sienna patted him on the shoulder as she passed him to
pull out a chair to sit down next to Sadeska Daisuke sitting on her other side
and the little girl began to eat rather hungrily she went straight to the stake of meat Daisuke had prepared and grabbed it with her hands
ignoring the fork and tore into the meal with hungry little growls with her teeth
everyone exchanged looks "Sadeska when was the last meal you had?" Sienna asked gently
the little girl frowned and paused
"I don't know exactly they had us locked in containment boxes and gave us food a while back but it made us go to sleep after eating it, and then when
we woke up next, thats when Rhakem made the escape plan" she explained
"The food delivery robot that brings the food has to come into the containment box to deliver our meals, it has a delivery box attached that carries the food inside it
which means there is a brief moment in time where the containment barrier will go down to let the robot in and out of our cell
so Rhakem figured someone small enough could somehow climb inside the robot delivery box and ride it out past the barrier
then he will climb out and let the rest of us out of our boxes so we can escape and it actually did work"
"I see," sienna said "it was a very smart plan"
"it was a very good plan," Sadeska said bobbing her head
one cheek full of food she looked so cute it made Daisuke smile he gently petted her ears
"I'm glad, eat until you are full," sienna said
"if you're still hungry Sienna and I will make you some more," Daisuke said
Melody and kanna smiled looking on they look like doting parents right now melody said with a smile
kanna nodding her head agreement "I imagine when those two have kids they will be so spoiled"
Sadeska was eating flushed pink and happy her tail began wagging making her chair shake
daisuke chuckled and put his hand on the chair holding it steady so it wouldnt fall over unseating the girl
"I had almost forgotten about the special types of furniture Huassain people need to use," he said amused
sadeska nodded in agreement "all our furniture on Huassain is very solid and strong so we never have to worry about
accidents like chairs falling over if our tails wag too hard ill try to remember and be careful though"
she curled her tail up to stop it from wagging too much
sienna laughed it was quite interesting having the child in their home she was already beginning
to understand the differences between huassain people and humans just by these small things
"I want to call my mom and dad and tell them im ok can I do that?" Sadeska asked
sienna nodded "of course you can! how did we not think of this before? we should let your parents know you're safe"
she gave sadeska her phone
"it will be a galactic call it's going to be expensive" Sadeska said
"it's ok," Sienna said "I can pay"
"then can I do a video call then?" she asked
sienna nodded "go ahead it will be more worth it than just hearing your voice your parents will be able see you are really ok and safe"
she made the call watching the screen anxiously but then a woman answered with brown hair and furry ears just like her daughter
"Hello? mom, it's me" sadeska said softly
the woman on the screen's eyes widened and her ears twitched "Sadeska? my baby my pup?"
"yes mummy it's me I'm safe I was rescued by nice people" she replied
"Sadeska?" she cried again and started whining and crying she called a male
who soon joined the call an older man with dark hair and a beard her father
"Sade" he called her with worried eyes "daddy!" she cried "I'm here"
"where are you, baby? who took you? are you safe?" he asked
"We escaped from the hunter's ship, there were other kids too that were taken that helped," she told him "we were able to take the escape pods and get off the ship we were going to find galactic guardians and ask for help"
"but the hunters were trying to catch us again after we escaped so they chased us and we all separated"
"i landed on Prylea and nice people found me we went to the galactic guardians together and they are going to save the other children and catch the hunters I will stay here until it's safe"
"oh thank goodness" her mother cried in relief
"mom and dad, I will show you the nice people who are taking care of me ok"
"sure sweetheart we need to meet them and thank them for their help" her father replied
Sadeska turned the phone to include sienna and daisuke
"hello Sadeska's parents I am Sienna and this is my mate Daisuke"
"oh, youre a Huassain couple?" her mother asked i surprise
"yes we are, your daughter was very smart when she landed here" Daisuke replied with a smile "she looked up local Huassain people through her pod's system
and found our contact information and called us for help the moment we heard her on the phone we rushed out to help her, we took her to the authorities right away
and everything is being handled the other children will be rescued soon thanks your Sadeska
she was able to take the communicator out of her pod and the authoriites are going to use it to track the other children and the ship they were held captive on so you don't have to worry,
the Authorities will contact us as soon as they have saved the other children and arrested the hunters then it will be safe to arrange to send the children home to you all Sadeska wanted to call to let you guys know she was ok"
her mother face was filled with relief and she started to shed tears "thank you so much for everything you have done for our child we owe you everything" her father said gratefully
"its no problem at all" daisuke said "we are very happy to be able to help its a child in danger we couldnt leave her alone"
"thank you so much for saving our pup we are most grateful truly you can't even imagine how scared and worried we were" her mother cried
"Sadeska is a very wonderful child very precious" Sienna replied "I am glad we were able to save her and it will make us very happy to see her safely reunited with you when this is all over so please just hang in there ok everything will be ok"
"thank you both so much truly" her father cried clutlching his mate
"sadeska pup we love you so much after this we are not letting anything happen to you"
"no more going to school by yourself," her mother said "we will let you go to school online from home like you've been asking to" her dad promised
thank you daddy I will study hard and do well even if I am going to class online I won't fail" Sadeska said
"Good girl," her father said with tears in his eyes "my pup you were very brave, be good to sienna and Daisuke ok stay safe and you will come home soon"
"I will they are very nice mom their home is really nice too I got to bathe
and wash my hair in hot water and they gave me clean clothes and look at all the food they made me mom and dad there's lots of meat"
she moved the phone so they could see the dishes of food sienna and daisuke had made for her on the table
her mother cried even more gratefully
"We just wanted to make sure she wasnt hungry" Sienna said "we don't know how long she was in the ship without food"
"thank you so much," her father said again
