“What about the human females? They cannot swim the way that we can,” a warrior shouted as he came to the back of the ship. Water was rushing in through a hole blown into the side of the ship.
“They are going to have to swim!”
“Listen up! As soon as this hatch is opened, water is going to rush in. We will pull you and push you out of the hatch on the other side of the ship. You will be hitting deep ocean water. The transport is sinking fast. As soon as you are in the water, swim up as fast as you can!” the warrior shouted at us.
“No! I can't do that! I want to go home!” a human female with blonde hair said to them in a panic. Her name was Stephanie.
“That has never been a choice. We will be right behind you,” the warrior said. Then in a flash, they both shifted into a half-dragon man. They were Draqua, and the Draqua were alien dragon shifters. It stunned me to see it.
“Open the hatch!” he shouted.
Water rushed in, and the three women that were with me began to scream in panic. I stayed as calm as I could, ready to use all my strength to swim in the vast ocean on the alien planet that we were on.
One warrior moved to the other side of the ship and opened the hatch. I could feel the pressure stabilizing, and water did not rush in as fast as before.
“Go! Go!” he shouted as he gestured toward the hatch he stood next to. The other women were in panic, refusing to go. But I was ready to do whatever was necessary to survive. I quickly moved through the knee-deep water to the hatch. I nodded to him, and he pushed me into the water. I quickly moved my limbs.
The water was crystal clear and beautiful. I could see an enormous amount of sea life in various vibrant colors. It was like diving in the Caribbean. I swam up and kicked as hard as I could toward the sunlit surface.
I did not know how I found myself in such a situation. Only a month before I was simply a secretary in New York City. I had a very boring life where I would do the same thing day in and day out. My boss was a very attractive millionaire in the real estate business. He had lots of women coming and going, but he never looked at me. I was too plain with my red hair in a bun and soft freckles on my cheeks. It bothered me beyond belief that such a womanizer didn't think I was his type. I went to work, had my simple chicken salad for lunch, and then went home for a frozen microwave dinner with a glass of wine. It was the same thing day in and day out.
“There she is,” the secretary named Shannon said when I walked into the first floor of the skyscraper building in the middle of Manhattan. She was whispering to another girl, and they laughed as I walked by.
“Amelia! How is Mr. Drake today? Is he very busy?” she asked with a big smile.
“Yes, his schedule is full, as always,” I said to them, trying not to stop for a conversation.
Shannon looked at the other girl and said, “That is strange. I wonder why he asked me to come up on my lunch break then?” she giggled.
“I am not sure. That is a question for Mr. Drake,” I said in my most official tone. I continued walking towards the elevators. I could still hear the women whispering.
“Why does she dress like that? She looks like a librarian,” one of them said.
“If I worked directly for Mr. Drake, I would dress like a sexy librarian every day,” the other said.
“Yes, you already dressed like a slut and he has noticed. But that was what you wanted. You got what you wanted; he invited you up to his office, didn't he?”
“Yes, but he invited you a month ago. He took way too long.” Finally, the elevator door opened and I was relieved to get into the elevator car.
I walked into the busy office and made my way to the corner where Mr. Drake had his private office. I always came in an hour before him to set things up for him and make sure that his coffee was ready. When he finally came in, he didn't even look at me.
“Amelia. I need those files that I asked you for yesterday,” he said rushing in.
“Yes, I will bring them to you right away,” I said as I moved to my desk and then walked into his office. He was sitting in his chair. I decided that I would test what the women were talking about. I knew that my boss was a dirty womanizer. He was very filthy and would stick his cock into a hole in a tree if he could.
But he never ever tried anything with me. He never tried to slide by me and rub his body on me. He never tried anything at all yet he had tried or succeeded with every single secretary in the building, even those that did not work for his company. So what was wrong with me? Was it simply because I was not being sexy in front of him? So I decided to try something. I carried the files to him and then dropped them.
“Oh, silly me. Let me get those,” I said as I bent over putting my ass right in his line of vision. I took my time and bent over as sexy as I could in my pencil skirt.
“Hurry up. I need those,” he said in a stern voice. I picked them up and turned to him. He was not staring at me like I thought he would be. He was shuffling papers and beginning to make a phone call. I sighed. If a womanizer rejected me, then there was no hope for any other male wanting me.
“Amelia,” he said as I was walking out of his office. Maybe he had a change of heart. Maybe he was turned on by my display.
“Cancel my lunch meeting. Something else has come up,” he said.
“Yes, Mr. Drake,” I said knowing exactly what was coming up for lunch: that slut Shannon.
“And go ahead and take an extra long lunch yourself. I will need a good hour and a half,” he said.
“That much time?” I said, asking about his stamina without even realizing it. I quickly corrected myself.
“I mean. That much time; thank you for that much time for lunch. I will take an hour and a half,” I said with a smile and then walked out.
“Strange, strange, strange,” I heard Mr. Drake whisper to himself. I was completely annoyed. Not only was he not attracted to me, but he also thought that I was a weirdo. Perfect. As if things couldn't get any worse, when I finally did return from lunch, he was not finished with his.
“Yes! Yes! Fuck me harder,” I heard Shannon's voice say from his office. My eyes grew wide. I could hear the crash of things falling off of his desk. I had never heard any sex like that before. I definitely have not had sex like that myself. I envied it. For once in my life, I wanted a man that I found attractive to take me like that. I wanted to be ravaged like that. My life was so boring and void of any passion. How did it get like this?
So, since I was sick of the same routine and being mistreated at work, I had decided to treat myself to a little nature and get out of the city. I went to upstate New York, and that was when it happened. That was when alien warriors that could shift into dragon form abducted me.
I was on a hike in the pine forest by myself in Upstate New York. The pine trees towered high over me. It was beautiful and peaceful. I was alone, or so I thought.
I heard what sounded like a low hum coming from above me. I looked up and saw a shiny vehicle landing in a clearing.
“Amelia, you are seeing things,” I said to myself. I wanted to prove that I was not losing my mind, so I ran toward it. It was a dumb thing to do. Before I knew it, I was taken aboard the ship by an alien that looked like a man, but far too tall, and he had large wings and patterned tattoos on his arm and shoulder that looked like the scales of a dragon.
It was then that I realized I would never see Earth again.
On the ship were three other human females that had also been taken. I was the last. I made quick friends with one human female named Michelle. We confided in each other. I didn’t know what it was about her, but she was like a long lost sister to me or something. Even though I had only known her a few days, I felt like I had always known her. She helped me get through the odd and stressful situation of being abducted by aliens. She was resilient and strong, and I admired her for that.
“Stay strong, Amelia. It is possible that this could be the start of a great adventure. Not all great adventures start the way that you
think they would,” she said to me an hour after being taken. I had been crying and was a mess about the whole thing. She was the first one that was taken, and I think that by the time I was picked up, she had already come to terms with being abducted.
After they took me from Earth, we set out into space and toward their home planet of Kelon. The two alien men were not vicious. In fact, they were kind and respectful and promised over and over that they were taking us to paradise.
But when we entered the atmosphere of this so called paradise, we flew straight into a battle. The warrior aliens that were piloting the ship were shocked and caught off guard. Our ship was hit by a blast.
So that was how I found myself swimming for my life. My muscles were growing tired as I swam up toward the bright light that was dancing on the surface of the water. I looked down into the depths and saw the two dragon warriors. Each one had a woman in each arm as they swam toward me. They were moving very fast, as though they were made for the water and not just the air.
I coughed violently as I shot through the surface.
"Oh my God… Oh my God…” I said as I tried to catch my breath. But I was not prepared for the scene that was happening over my head. Blaster shots flew across the surface of the water. I dove back down. With my eyes open, I could see the shots cutting through the water. I did not want to surface again, but I had to in order to breathe.
I came to the surface. I looked around at the crazy, chaotic scene. There were ships flying low, blasting at each other. There were Draqua flying in the air, fighting with each other. But it was then that I saw something I was not expecting. I saw several dragons. They were not the half-dragons that I had already seen; these were full dragons. There was nothing man about them. They shot fire from their mouths full of jagged teeth.
“Amelia! Amelia!” I heard Michelle's voice shout. I turned in a circle, looking for her. I saw her wet blonde hair in the distance.
“Michelle! Michelle, I'm coming for you,” I shouted as I began to swim in her direction. But as I did so, a dark shadow moved over me, blocking out the sun. I looked up into the sky and saw a large red dragon flying low above me. Its large body was monstrous, and the clawed feet were stretched out, ready to grab. The long tail moved from side to side behind it. I looked in the direction that it was diving.
“Michelle! Michelle, watch out!” I said as I pointed in the air.
Michelle looked up and screamed at the top of her lungs. But it was too late for her to dive. The dragon snatched her from the water. Her legs kicked the air.
“Michelle! No!” I shouted. I looked around for the two warriors that had brought us to this planet. They were in the water far in the distance, helping the other women. The women were in a panic struggling to swim. I yelled out to them.
“They have taken her! They took Michelle!” I shouted trying to wave down the warriors and point in the sky. But with the chaos of the battle and the sound of the waves crashing, they could not hear me. I was confused and frightened.
The battle overhead was intense and only getting crazier. I saw two hybrid dragon men fighting in the sky. They were punching each other, and as they did so, they were plummeting towards the ocean. Splash! They sunk into the water. Was this the normal state of this planet? Were they in constant battle all the time? Or was this a one-time thing? The unknown only added to my sense of panic.
I paddled, staying afloat, and began to swim toward the other human females in the water. At least I would be in the safety and comfort of a group. But as I swam, I noticed a dark shadow once more. I looked up into the sky and expected to see a dragon. But I did not see that. I looked back down into the ocean beneath me, and the shadow was getting larger.
“Oh shit!” I said as I realized that whatever it was, it was in the water and it was coming straight towards me. I swam faster and faster. Then I felt something grab my waist. I shot straight out of the water into the air. I screamed. I looked and saw that it was a hybrid dragon alien man that had me by the waist. He was flying over the ocean and through the chaotic battle. I screamed in fear.
“Put me down! Put me down now!” I shouted at him.
“Stay still, human female. If I were to let you go now, you would drop and hit the water hard. You would not survive,” his deep voice said. I looked down; he was right. I could not see the face of the alien that had me. My back was flush against his body as he carried me. He was flying very fast. I did not know where he was taking me, but I would probably see Michelle once more.
“Damn opposition!” the dragon alien shouted as he dodged a gun blast. He swerved one way and then the other, flying with precision. It would have been impressive were it not for my fear. Finally, land came into view. I turned over my shoulder to see that we were far from the battle. I turned back to the land. It was a very small island in the middle of the ocean. The white sand was gleaming, almost like glitter. There were a couple of tall trees in a beautiful green and blue color, and they reached high toward the sun. It was very lush, like a miniature jungle. We landed in the sand. The strong hands moved from my waist, and I turned to face the alien that had taken me from the ocean.
“Where are we? What are you going to do with me?!” I shouted as I stepped away from him and finally got a good look at him. He was very tall, just like the warriors that had taken me away from Earth. He had light gray eyes that were startling to look at. His black hair was long down to his shoulders, and it was wet and stuck to his face. His face was smooth and tanned with a square jaw. His broad shoulders were strong and straight and led down to strong muscular arms. He was not wearing a shirt, and his six-pack abs were very well-defined. There was only a loincloth covering his waist down to the middle of his thighs. Large boots went up to his calves and had holsters on them that carried a gun, knife, and other devices. I was startled by the way he looked like a Tahitian warrior with massive wings and tattooed patterns of scales on his arm and shoulder.
“Do not question me! What were you doing out in the ocean? That is no place for a human female!” he scolded me. “You should be back in the village!”
“I was not out there by choice!” I shouted back at him in anger.
“You humans are helpless! You always need our help! You should not be here!” he shouted as he stomped in the sand toward me.
“I don't even know where here is! I am not here by choice! I was taken from Earth, so you can stop shouting at me, you jerk!” I shouted at him as I stepped toward him with my hands on my hips.
“Sure, that is always the story that you have. You are too soft and to helpless!” He shouted.
“You don't know anything about me!” I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Stay here. Hide. I will come back for you when the battle is over, even though I don't want to and I should not have to,” he said with disdain.
“What?! You are leaving me here? You cannot do that,” I said, pushing my finger into his strong abs. They were as hard as metal.
“Watch me,” he said, leaning over me from his tall and impressive height.
“Ravinn!” another voice interrupted us.
I turned to see one of the warriors that had abducted me landing in the sand with Stephanie.
“ Biyen,” the warrior that had saved me said as he walked over to him.
“Thank you for fetching this human. There are two more that Jitu is bringing. He should be right behind me,” he said as he turned and looked into the sky.
“You are welcome, Biyen. Now I must get back to the battle,” the warrior with the gray eyes said as he gave me a dirty look. I hated him already.
“Ravinn, the battle is over. The opposition retreated,” Biyen said.
“What?! I should have been there to fight to the very last second. I would have been if I had not taken the time to rescue her,” he said pointing at me.
I narrowed my eyes at him. He kept the insults coming. I ran over to Stephanie.
“Are you all right? Did you see Michelle?” I asked her quietly. She was vi
sibly shaken.
“No. She must be with the other warrior,” she said.
I walked the edge of the sand on the shoreline and looked up in the sky, blocking out the sun with my hand. Then I saw the silhouette of a warrior flying in the air toward us. I was relieved to see that it was carrying something. Finally, it landed, but it only had one female in his arms, and it was not Michelle. It was Brenda.
“Michelle. She is not with you?” I said to him as he put the other female down in the sand.
“This is the only one that I found,” Jitu said.
“No. She is still out there. I saw a red dragon take her from the water! We have to go after her! You must get her back!” I shouted as I ran in a panic from one warrior to another.
“The opposition has taken her,” Biyen said to Jitu.
“There will be no getting her back now,” Jitu said.
