“Yes, boss,” Jacyasi replies, his voice tinged with utter confidence that only heightens my terror.
“Not... police,” the monstrous horned one repeats, lingering on the word as if it’s as foreign to him as he is to us. He turns his attention to Sandra with a smirk, his broad mouth curling in a way that splits his entire face. “What species are you? I’ve never seen such... soft females before.” He chuckles, a sound soon echoed by his ogling followings.
“Humans,hijo de puta,” Carmen spits on the ground. I suppress a groan, wondering if she’s just blown any slim chance of friendly first-contact. But one look at their greedy eyes and menacing weapons tells me it was always a foolish hope.
The horned one’s smirk deepens, his beady yellow eyes narrowing ominously. “Now, now. That’s no way for a pleasure house whore to behave.” His words freeze my blood.This can’t be happening. How can things keep getting worse? Haven’t I already plunged to the depths of awfulness?
Kazumi bursts into racking sobs, her cries only fueling the excited laughter of these horrible alien intruders. Carmen’s hands curl into tight fists as she spits more useless curses, while I shake my head in frantic disbelief.This has to be some kind of sick joke, right? Any minute now, a camera crew will burst in and explain I’m on some twisted reality show.I’ll be pissed, sure, but it could be funny when the big reveal happens.
“Exotic beauties, all lined up for us,” chimes in a brown-furred, muzzled alien as he presses against the bars, making me feel like an exhibit at the zoo. “Must be our lucky day!” he exclaims, drawing more jeering laughter from the others.
A large black-and-white mottled alien with massive tusks glares at me, his dark eyes traveling the length of my body.It’s a look I’ve seen before, usually from drunk, horny guys at nightclubs. But this is way worse—it makes my skin crawl. I scramble to cover myself, hating Dracoth for these lewd alterations to my clothes.
Where the fuck is the giant bore? Shouldn’t he be protecting us? This is all his fault!
“The fat blonde one makes my cock hard,” the horrible beast declares, sending a shudder of disgust and rage through me.
“Who are you calling fat? You ugly, sneering alien cow!” The words burst out of me, my anger flaring so hot it tinges my vision red.
I storm up to the bars, glaring at him in defiance. But the sneering aliens only jeer louder. “You’ve got your hands full now, Caric!” one of them shouts, prompting more laughter.
They think this is all some sick game, but I’m not playing. “I’ll turn you into hamburger meat if you fucking try anything!” I roar, locking eyes with the brutish, tusked alien.
He smirks, his tongue licking at his thick lips. “I do enjoy mating the feisty ones. Their wiggling makes it fun,” he sneers, his thick fingers tightening on the handle of his serrated blade.
“Break them in, but keep them pretty. We’ll make a fortune selling them to an exotic pleasure house,” the horned one commands, filling me with dread that almost snuffs out my seething anger. My heart hammers in my chest as the cell doors come crashing down—our last line of defense washing away the remnants of my rage in a flood of icy terror.
“Princesa,” Carmen whispers frantically, clutching my arm. “Help me get a gun.” I barely register her words, shock holding me captive as the gang of numerous aliens pours into our cell, eager to claim their prize—us.
One of the creepy bug aliens skitters toward Carmen, its limbs reaching out. She screams obscenities, throwing a punch thatlands square on the alien’s elongated, narrow head, sending it sprawling to the ground.
Carmen pounces on the fallen alien, desperately trying to wrest its gun away.
“Now,Princesa!” she shouts. But I remain frozen, paralyzed by fear.What the hell can I do against so many terrifying aliens?
“She’s the feisty one!” The horned alien laughs cruelly, delivering a sickening kick into the midriff of the prone Carmen. She crumples, spluttering and clutching her ribs in agony. From the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of Kazumi, moving like a ghost along the edge of the cell, almost invisible avoiding the blue wrist lights.
The larger aliens haul Carmen to her feet with rough, merciless hands. She gasps for air, her lungs rasping, yet she still struggles to break free, cursing and thrashing like a wild animal. They wrestle her into submission, binding her hands with a wicked length of wire.
“A good, hard mating is what this one needs,” one of the horrible spikey aliens states triumphantly, now that Carmen is restrained.
The horned alien turns his attention to Sandra, approaching with outstretched, clawed hands—a mockery of gentleness.
“Oh, what a beauty,” he says with a sick sort of wonder. Sandra curls into a fetal position, trying to disappear into the cold, unforgiving metal walls. “Have you ever seen fur this color?” he marvels, running his grotesque claws through her ginger hair, his voice tinged with twisted admiration.
Poor Sandra’s hair is like crack to these pervy aliens, and she sobs at his touch, rocking back and forth in terror.
“You lot, take the others back to my ship,” the horned one orders, his eyes gleaming with anticipation as he looms over thetrembling Sandra. “I’m going to have a little fun first.” Each deep syllable drips with ominous promise, sealing Sandra’s fate.
Meanwhile, the black-and-white tusked alien zeroes in on me, his disgusting glint making my skin crawl.
“Who’s the meat now?” he sneers, towering over me, half a head taller and twice as broad. “Delicious, plump meat you are too.” His gaze lingers on my exposed cleavage before his massive hand reaches out, squeezing my chest with brutal force.
Pain and shock surge through me, and I instinctively slap him as hard as I can across his stupid snouted face.
“Don’t fucking touch me!” I scream, fueled by red-hot fury. But it’s my hand that stings, as if I’ve stuck a slab of concrete.
The hulking beast barely flinches from my blow, his smirk widening into something more sinister. Then, with a sudden, sickening force, he drives his fist into my stomach, doubling me over in agony, and stealing the breath from my lungs.
