"Are you happy Jade?" Dalik asked me as we sat in the middle of the Icannis fields. This place had become our solace. It was where we went to be alone in nature out in the elements. The tall plants hid us as we spread out on blanket with a picnic of Kaethon foods and Icannet juice. It had quickly become my favorite place, not only because Dalik and I had spent so much time here, but also because I was useful here. I enjoyed helping come up with the solutions used by the field leader. I felt like a scientist again when I was here and that made me very happy. Of course, on the other hand it was also a very private place to make love out in the open, as we often did. I looked to him. His blue tinted body shining in the silver white sun and his dark hair hovering over his eyes. I pushed a strand or two behind his ear and touched his face and smiled.
"Yes Consulate, I am very happy. Happier than I ever thought I could be as a slave. Are you? Are you happy?"
"Yes scientist, I am very happy. Others might see you as my captive human female slave, but I see no slave. I see a scientist and as of tomorrow my rightful mate. Of course when we are in bed, you are mine. I own you,” he said with a playful growl. He placed a light kiss on my lips and then continued, “Are you nervous about tomorrow?" he asked.
"A little yes, because it is the first. However I am very excited as well," I said as I kissed him.
"Well you have brought a lot of first into the capital city of Konthos. You are the first systems scientist that we have ever had. Now you will be the bride in the first human and Kalazaron warrior wedding."
I smiled as I took in his words. He was right. After the trials I had proved myself worthy of being a scientist that analyzed the systems of the city and improved them. It took a while to show my skills but the results could not be doubted. Master Bresh had finally seen the results for himself and allowed the Consulate to give me the position as system scientist, under his watchful eye of course. It also helped that my long lost shipmate Lavender Prost was doing well in the medical field in the outpost of Belvenreed. It offered support to show that us human females could be considered an asset. I had not communicated with Lavender Prost, but Dalik did allow me to look at a few reports of her progress there. She was doing well. Belvenreed was a dangerous place constantly under small band attacks by the rebels. I silently wished her the best in my mind and hoped that she was being treated well as could be for a human female slave with the Kalazaron warriors.
However, after all the work to prove myself and show that I was more useful than to just be used for female companionship, I was going to do the most basic female thing imaginable. I was going to be a wife. But unlike any other human female on the planet Kaethon, I was going to be the wife to a Kalazaron warrior high ranking official. It was a very unusual thing but as Dalik said, I had done a lot of first here in the capital city.
The next day, I wore a wedding dress that I designed myself of white sheer muslin like fabric layered on top of each other to make a glorious flowing wedding dress. We were getting married in my first science project and favorite place, the Iccanis fields. The beauty of the cold planet could be seen all around us, even the Blue Mountains in the distance. As I walked down the aisle I stared ahead at my future husband. He was tall, gorgeous, and he was an alien.

Chapter 1
DR. LAVENDER PROST
The ship made an abrupt bumpy movement to the left and then back to the right. I was being thrown about in the infirmary of the ship where I worked. There was only one reason that the ship would make this sort of movement; it was because another ship had collided into us. This was the type of feeling one got when another ship was bridging onto a ship. Since we were not expecting any sort of contact or engagement with a ship, I could only assume that a pirate ship of sorts was boarding us. This type of thing did happen in the far reaches of space; however it had never happened to me when I had been aboard a ship over the last couple of years that I was an attending physician on various space travel missions. This was the first, and I was completely terrified. Boom! This sound echo throughout the entire ship as it resounded and expanded giving off the sounds of metal colliding with metal. When I finally got to my feet again I went straight to the intercom. I pressed the button that allowed me to communicate directly with the flight deck of the ship, "This is Dr. Prost in the infirmary! What has happened? Come in!" I waited and there was no reply, which only made me feel more panicked. Someone always answered intercom no matter what time it was. I knew that something must be wrong. It had to be something very big. The way the ship had moved from side to side was not something that just happened. I knew that we must have been boarded. I just needed to know if it was by earthlings or by something far more sinister. I tried the intercom again. “Come in! I am in the infirmary! Is anyone there? What is going on? Come in! Please come in! I shouted. Finally, there was a response, but it was just static.
The intercom was static for a while and then I finally got a reply, "Hide! We are being boarded by the Kalazaron! Hide if you can!" a voice shouted back at me through the intercom. My eyes grew wide in terror as I processed over what I had just received from the flight deck. The Kalazaron were known as a warrior race of alien from the cold blue planet of Kaethon. But they resided in the galaxy capital M823, and we were nowhere near that galaxy. Or so I thought. I spent a lot of my time in the bowels of the ship in the infirmary where I was either treating the crew for various illnesses, or working on my research. I could off and go days without visiting the flight deck or speaking to anyone else as I was deeply involved in my research activities, so if we had strayed off course I would not know. It was something that Captain White did not like about me. He said I was too defiant to be on his ship. Perhaps he was right. He said that being defiant to his orders would only put myself in danger. I believed him but it did not make me less defiant. I could not help it. It was in my nature. Now, I was in danger and did not know why because I was defiant in keeping up with the goings on of the ship.
This ship and the crew had set out from earth for the purpose of scientific research. I was part of that research and a medical doctor not only was I attending to the crew as their doctor but I was also doing my own experiments in space or anywhere we landed. I was very excited about my work. It was my true passion. Now because of some mistake or other that work was going to come to a bitter end. I did not know what was happening exactly but it was not good. The Kalazaron had a known reputation as pirates. They were brutal. They were known to pillage and plumage leaving few survivors and usually just the females.
I looked around the infirmary for a place to hide. I was a very small petite woman at only 5 foot one, and fairly thin. I should be able to find a place to hide. I moved over to the sleek stainless steel counter that went along an entire wall of the infirmary and slid open a cabinet underneath. There were many cabinets all along the counter, and I crawled into it and closed it behind me. Now what? I thought to myself. If they capture the entire ship, as they were known to do, they would eventually find me. If they did not capture the ship and let us go, then I would be all right. I knew that they were known to take female captives as slaves. I had heard many stories about this particular race of aliens being fond of capturing the ships that carry brides to the various mining planets. Therefore, I knew that they had a fascination and placed value on human females. I had quietly tried to regulate my breathing. I did not move a muscle for fear that I might knock something over inside the cabinet with me and give away my hiding position. A few moments later I heard the sounds of gun blasts. I bit my lower lip trying to keep quiet. Then I heard voices inside the infir
mary.
"This room is clear! There are no humans in this room! Continue the search! Kill all the humans except for the females!” the deep voice shouted. Tears began to fall from my eyes as I realized that all of my crewmates would be decimated. All except the other two females that were on the ship. The other female was a scientist Dr. Jade Roberts who I did not know very well, but I had a lot of respect for her and her work. The other female was a nutritionist and cook on the ship. She was not a scientist like Dr. Roberts and I, but she was just as important to the structure and system of the ship. We were all going to be taken captive. I struggled with myself between two choices. I could stay hidden within the infirmary, but what if they decided to blow up the ship once they removed the females back to their ship? Then I would be blown to pieces. Or I could come out of hiding and know that they would take me captive. I would be destined to be a slave to the Kalazaron and who knew exactly what that meant. I could be subjected to many terrors. I decided that I would stay hidden, mostly because I was so scared that I was paralyzed with fear. I could not move. In the quiet and darkness of the little cabinet, I waited my fate. And then I felt the ship move, it was a shocking experience. The warriors must be taking the ship to their planet. So either way, I was definitely headed to the planet Kaethon and an indefinite fate.
Hours later it was very quiet. Then there was a loud ruckus. "Take it all apart! You know the drill. Anything salvageable send to our shipyard, and allow our engineers to examine the pieces. Get started!"
Oh no, I thought. They were definitely going to find me. But I couldn't exactly stay in the cabinet forever. A few moments later I felt the entire cabinet shift. I instinctively let out a yell.
"Did you hear that?" I heard a voice say. The cabinet door slid open and two Kalazaron warriors were staring at me. I had never seen them before in person. I had only seen drawings of what we thought they might look like based on various bits of information. Because once you were captured by the Kalazaron warriors, you never returned to earth. As I looked at them, my scientific mind took over. I examined the blue tint of their skin on various parts of their muscular body. They did not wear a top or a shirt, and around their waist was a leather like skirt that I could only describe as something that a gladiator from ancient Rome might wear. On their waist was a belt with various tools and a blaster gun. Their arms were very strong and from the wrists up to the elbows were leather like cuff sleeves that I assumed came in handy for battle. This alien race of the Kalazaron warriors were male dominant, as in they had more males than females on the planet. It was a patriarchal society, and everything was decided by battle or fighting. This was not shocking to me because it seemed to be that way on earth whenever human males were left in charge of things. Judging by the look of the warriors in front of me, they were very humanlike indeed. They were much taller than humans at 7 to 8 feet. They had broad shoulders and long limbs that were proportionate to that height. They also exhibited a fierce appearance with thick furrowing eyebrows and piercing eyes. These two warriors had different hair, which made me think it was not standard to have one type of hair like in the military on earth. One warrior had long locks of hair that hung down to his shoulders, while the other one had a buzz shaved head. They both looked at me and then looked at each other and then smiled. My hand started to sweat as they grinned at me.
"Look at this. It seems to be we have a stow away," one of the warriors said.
"It can't be a stowaway if it is on my ship," my sharp tongue replied. I am immediately felt regret for letting my sassy mouth say such a thing. But sometimes I could not help myself. I had a knack for correcting people when they were wrong and I did so without thinking about it.
The warriors began to laugh and then one of them said," she must be taken to Commander Yun."
"No, now that we are back on the planet, the chain of command goes to Master Bresh," the other one said.
I did not know who either of these commanding bodies were, but I would very much like to meet the one that commanded my entire crew be murdered. I had a few words for him.
"Are you going to come out or are you going to force us to pull you out?" The warrior asked. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I crawled out of the cabinet space. As soon as I was free the warrior grabbed my arm and led me out of the ship. We walked down the ship bridge onto land. My mouth fell open at what I saw.
Massive towering ships were in front of me spread out on the land. It was like a ship graveyard, or junkyard. I was in complete awe as I did recognize a few earth ships, but other ships were unlike anything I had ever seen. I was so fascinated as they lead me through the maze of metal that it took me a while before I was actually looking at the environment that I was in. I did notice the cold air hit me as soon as we came out of our ship but I did not notice the beauty of the blue planet until that moment. Once we were out of the junk yard maze I noticed the pale blue dirt beneath my feet. In the distance there were large blue Mountains against a light blue sky on the horizon. As I tilted my head up the white silver sun showed bright in the sky making the blue turn into an almost purple tint. It was a very common color to look at and I was completely astounded by it. As we moved along the blue dirt fields I realized that we were in the outskirts of a city. Up ahead in the distance was a massive urban development, and I could only assume that this was the city of Konthos, the capital city of this planet. My mouth fell open again at the large structures of the city. There were low ones and two-story buildings stretched out across several miles. Then there were towering skyscraper buildings that stretched toward the sky. They were definitely an advanced technological race in order to build such structures and I wondered if their civilization was older than the human civilization on earth. But how would I ever tell that, perhaps their lengths of time was very different to earth time and parameters. I stayed quiet and allowed myself to let my eyes indulge in the sights, sounds, and scents.
As we moved along we entered the heart of the city and it looked like a bustling market with many tables stretched out littered with goods and services. Many Kalazaron aliens were scurrying about buying and bargaining. It was completely fascinating to watch. Then I was led to a very tall building. There was lettering on the side of it, but I could not read Kalazaron. We entered the lobby and the warriors that escorted me said to the entrance guard, we found this human female on the recently captured ship while we were stripping it. We wish to take her to Master Bresh.
"Halt while I make your presence known," the entrance guard replied. I looked around the lobby of the building and noticed that it was populated with Kalazaron males that were dressed slightly different. Some of them wore long robes, while others wore very distinguished medallion belts across their shoulders. I gathered that I was in some sort of political atmosphere as the warriors had said they were taking me to the Master. I knew a little about the hierarchy of the Kalazaron warrior race. I wondered if I was in the Buildings of Order?
"The Master will see you now," the entrance guard said as he nodded to another guard beside him. This guard accompanied the three of us to a glass elevator. Minutes later we were rising up the long clear shaft of the building going higher and higher. It was an absolutely amazing experience, but as we grew closer I knew that my fate would soon be decided by this Master. Perhaps he would decide to keep me as his female slave. I began to shake.
Minutes later we entered a large round chamber. A male Kalazaron that was older than the warriors at my side was present. He was distinguished looking and sat at a table. He stood up and looked at me. "Tell me where you found this one?" he said as he moved toward us. One of the warriors that had found me with the long locks of hair replied, "She was hiding in a cabinet in the ship that Commander Yun recently captured. As soon as we found her we brought her here to you."
"Good, you are dismissed. Tell no one what you have told me. I will take care of this," the Master said. His words brought chills to me. Why would he want to keep my presence a secret?
Once we were alon
e the Master walked around me examining my body. Then he took out a small tool and a light beam came out and went up and down my body.
"What the hell is that?! Stop! I demand you to stop!"
He stopped and looked at me in silence. Then he began to laugh. "You have courage. I like that. It is not often that we see that in the human females that come to us," he said.
"Don't you mean the ones that you take prisoner and force to become slaves?" I said in my sassy tone that I could not control. It was my defiance once again. It ruled my life.
"Yes, if that is how you see it. Now tell me female of courage what do they call you?"
"My name is Dr. Lavender Prost."
"Doctor" he asked.
"Yes, I fix bodies that are injured or ill. A healer of sorts," I said to him.
"I see. Here we call those males the reconstructionists. I believe you human female, and in the morning you shall demonstrate your skills. For now you shall have a safe room. You may rest and feed, and be assured that no one will bother you," the Master said as he moved over to a wall panel and began to move around holographic images. I was in shock by his words. He wanted me to demonstrate to him my doctor skills, but why? Would I need those types of skills when I was nothing but a human female slave and concubine?
