Alcmene Argent
As I hear footsteps near, I get a sense of déjà vu as I try and listen in. But it is just one large person stomping towards me at a brisk pace not speaking. Then the door is haphazardly thrown open nearly falling off its hinges but stopped before hitting the wall by some invisible force.
While I marvel at the door the guy who just came in walks over a few feet away from the cot I am currently in and chained to-though much more comfortably than the ones at WCI with soft leather and just tight enough to not come off without a broken hand.
The man clears his throat and I continue staring off in the distance just to piss him off for a few seconds longer before I slowly turn to face him and hum in acknowledgment.
He simply unlocks my cuffs and drags me out of the room into a maze of brightly lit hallways that looked exactly the same then we reach a room at the end of a hallway and when I walk in, I see all the others sitting in chairs across from a group of aliens including the man who spoke to us before capturing us all.
I sit down in an empty chair between my mates that they left for me.
Then the man with green skin and bat wings speaks, "Welcome. I am Orlan of Khalzar or Orlan Khalzar to you earthlings. I apologize for our… speedy departure but we cannot stay on earth long without suspicions."
"You may be wondering why it was necessary and the answer is we have been searching a while for my kin-my brother's offspring that he had when he went to earth." He continues, "Can you introduce yourselves?" Orlan addresses the twins.
Melisande speaks up first, "I'm Melisande and this is my twin Azazel." Azazel gives a small nod.
"Woah what about me we're siblings?" I ask.
"No, you are created by magic and put into a mortals body given to a mother who had just given birth." He answers monotonously like he had told me the weather when he literally told me I had no parents and the ones I thought I had, were forced to take me in along with… no not my twin just a normal kid born to the twin's mom who I had been given to on the day she birthed him.
No wonder he grew to hate me he knew.
Then the other men at the table begin their role at this meeting when they start talking about how everything and everyone works on this ship, like schedule and other arrangements but it is all stuff someone can fill me on later preferably with less talking, comfy seating, and snacks.
I bet you they were paid extra the more boring they could make it so my mind starts to wander but I decide to keep an ear out for important parts and my mates also tell me important stuff through he mind link.
In the end which comes seemingly hours later, I find that I can stay with both my mates but everyone else is paired off and separated for the night after dinner-a bland soup.
We get to our assigned room and it is awesome.
The walls are black with lights around the edges and on the black marble tiling around the raised step for the large king bed with a plain white comforter and sheets.
There is a couch facing a huge tv and fireplace that looks super comfy. And a fluffy rug in front of the couch. Then the bathroom is all black marble walls with gold finishes and white tiled floors.
Then the best part the view.
Huge windows cover almost the entire wall across from the door that shows a breathtaking view of stars, planets, faraway galaxies, and the perfect view of earth.
My mates come up behind me and each grab one of my hands and presses against me. I lie down both of them following close behind and then they snuggle into both sides of me which will probably become unbearably hot in the night but right now I need the support.
We lie there with our eyes closed but still talking about the stupidest things with small smiles until we fall asleep.
