Ellesia, Gondra System - Erudia Quadrant (Present)

Warring :

"Brother! Stay with us! with me! Please!" I cried out as I clutched his hand while the medics used a coagulant gel to stave off his wounds as he was flown into the triage unit inside the Kindred Outpost  stationed near Ellesia's third ring.

As the medics did whatever they can to extract the spear embedded near his heart, I closed my eyes and prayed to the Goddess...the Mother of Life to save him.

After 2 long years of fighting the war, the rebel alliance has overthrown the tyrant that was exploiting the people and its resources for thousands of years with the help of the Kindred warriors. The Ellesians who made up the alliance are currently capturing the remnants of the opposition.

Unfortunately Strikes Fast and I were at the front-lines of battle when we were flanked by  several of the tyrant's men. We fought as fiercely as we are able after a week of fighting and no rest, as we were so sure that we killed the last of our enemies.

But that was my mistake.

One partially wounded warrior took a risk and throw his Zlank Spear at me before he collapsed.

This kind of spear drains the life force from anything it touches until it kills the enemy. I had just lost my blaster and my Marudian Blade has lost its edge after fighting with it for too long, fatigued has taken its toll on me and I brace myself for it to skewer me.

Until my brother jumped in front of me and the spear went to his chest. The rest was all a blur as I tried to take him back to the rebel camp even as I felt the intense pain from my brother that almost rendered me unconscious.

"He is losing blood fast! The Zlank Spear is extracted but his vitals are flat lining!" one of the medic's cries to the other made my hazy musing vanish.

I can feel his own life dwindling.....the pain was too much and it is taking its toll on him and I can feel it but I could not help him.

No! Please come back to me Strikes Fast! 

I held his hand tightly as I tried to encourage his tattered soul not to leave me but I can feel Strike's life sputtering out making me, his twin despair even more. If a Twin Kindred loses his other half then the other would be better off as dead because it would feel as if you yourself are just like a dead man walking.

Then I felt part of me went cold until I felt....nothing.

No!

"He has flat lined! " the medics grabbed a resuscitating apparatus and started attached nodes  on his chest and  arms, beginning to the process of trying to revive him. "CLEAR!"

I had to let go of Strike because the machine uses electricity shocks to try to jump start his heart, I prayed to the Goddess to let him live. 

When a sudden jolt in my mind made me fall to my knees, It was angry and the pure energy from it made me wince until I heard a voice. It was female although she was really upset.

Get up! Get up! Don't you dare die, you idiot! 

Over and over the voice shouted  and rampaged inside my head like an enraged female Take-me, knocking me further into the ground.

Until a felt a heartbeat echoed  in my mind then to my relief; I felt Strikes Fast's soul burn bright again with renewed determination.

"He's alive! Stop the apparatus! Start vital scans again!" the medics started moving again as I was allowed back to my brother's side. the Spear made a huge wound on his chest and will in time turn into a very huge scar along with the other war wounds he got but seeing him breath normally and feeling his presence again in my mind gave me a sigh of relief.

Until my brother's hand grabbed mine in a tight grip.

"Strike!" My joy at seeing his silver eyes open made me give my silent thanks to the Goddess.

" We have to go back to Earth!" his voice was weak but I saw fire in his eyes and soon even though I was tired as hell from fighting for days, I got hard because I felt his arousal. " I felt her!"

"Her? That voice?" I remembered the angry female voice. " Wait....Earth?"

"We need to claim her brother! I felt her pull my soul from the abyss and told me to stay alive! Those dreams we have been having of her life on the Space Station! It is the same woman we saw 2 years ago." the growl from him was undeniably one of mingled joy and sexual frustration. "We have made her wait for too long!"

The dreams started a year and half months ago while we making headway into the war. Somehow as we slept we could see a glimpse of her life in the Space Station on Earth, how the occupational draft was progressing and we even saw intimate glimpses of the same woman as she went about her life as some sort of specialist and...as a woman.

Sometimes I could feel like she could sense us but at times we dream shared with her in an unobtrusive way.  But after all these time that we see her, she never responded to us before and so we never really pushed it since we are busy with the war.

But the dreams then stopped coming for a while just as we were about to grasp victory; this was why the loss of seeing her made us reckless which was the reason for our constant wishes to be assigned to the front lines.

"Very well. I....think it is time we claim our bride brother." I felt my own body harden with thoughts of her even as the sounds of more injured warriors and screaming were around us. 

"Yes..." his smile turned a bit feral as lust gleamed in his eyes as he laid back on his medic pod. "We will have to ask for an immediate request after this whole mess is over."

"Yes, we can finally see her again....Samira. Even her name is strong and lovely."

Samira:

I woke up, drenched in sweat as I relieved the gruesome dream I was forced to watch with reluctance.

It was a dream on a whole other world, I could see rings present in the skies , weird flora and fauna and humanoids with pointy ears, face markings and tails fighting each other. Then I saw several hulking Kindred warriors from the huge Beast Kindreds to several fierce Tranq Kindreds and a lot of Twin Kindred who fought like well oiled machines against the enemies alongside these creatures.

I witness the same Twin Kindred who saw me on my first day fighting for days and days until finally one of them succumbed to a spear wound in battle. For some reason I felt my heart clench painfully when the scene changed and I saw the one with silver hair and darker skin on a medic pod being revived and his twin looking desperate, begging his brother to come back to him.

I have been having dreams of their life for more than a year and a few months now. These warriors fought for the independence of a planet  just like how they freed us from the Scourge invasion decades ago, Although I was thankful, I tried to ignore them because  I know what sharing dreams with a Kindred meant.

It gave them the right to claim me as a bride. 

But then I saw the darker twin flat line and although I usually ignore their presence in my dreams even when they watched me. But I could not stand by as someone so brave and so dedicated to his brother die so I tried to pull him back by actually reaching out to his weakening soul.

When I managed to bring the other twin back from the abyss, I felt him latch onto me and I heard possession and awe in his voice before I manage to shake him off.

We will come for you little lady, That is a promise.

Feeling a bit scared, I hugged myself. Somehow I wanted to take back my help but I could not let him die, it was not my way to abandon someone in need. It seems like they will come for me once the war on that other planet is over.

"Meowrrr?" Cece seems to have noticed my discomfort and nuzzled my thigh lovingly as I smiled and stroked her soft fur.

"Good girl." I murmured but somehow even petting my cat which normally relaxes me just puts me more on edge.

I do not want to be tied down. I just wanted to work and earn enough to pay back my family and to be free....

And maybe enjoy what life outside of Earth has to offer.

But it seems like that isn't possible when they come to claim me. In fact it will be easier since I am here  on the Space Station and not on Earth.
