Wren
All I wanted to do was take a walk outside the protective
walls of the human colony on Daerr. After all, I have been here for several
weeks and I have yet to know what it is like outside the compound built for
us by the vampires who seek our blood. Diona Ardelean, the rich vampire
on Daerr, promised we would have a life here on this planet unlike any we
could imagine and that they would well care for us. The vampires would
give us land and other resources to build our homes and raise families.
For
some, the vampires have been true to their word. To others such as myself,
they have failed to live up to what I thought would be a true adventure.
“Let me go!” I scream at the large gray-black metal disk flying above me.
“Don’t do this! Let me go!” It seems to be no use screaming as the tentacles
of the robotic drone take hold of me and will not let go. We rise into the air,
high above the Daerrian forests and hillsides where the human colony has
made a home for itself. Why did I have to listen to my own thoughts and
leave the safety of the high walls?
I am pulled up toward the drone before fins move out of the arms and then
around me. Soon enclosed on all sides by the strange material, I feel a
sudden thrust in some direction that most likely is away from the planet’s
surface. My mind, racked with fear and worry, assumes the worst will
happen as I leave those I have gotten to know in the human colony. This is
the Tarka System, and there are things out here that are not friendly to my
kind. Not friendly at all.
“Please! No!” I scream repeatedly as g-forces overtake me. If it were not
for the tight arms of the drone, I would likely fall out and plunge to my
death. However, there is another purpose for me, I’m certain. One that will
not be as forgiving as dropping to the ground below to my death. Whatever
has taken me has done so for a purpose, and I doubt it means to give me a
happy, fulfilling life.
I travel for quite some time inside the enclosure of the drone’s arms before I
feel it slowing down. The vessel lurches as if it is seeking somewhere to
land, but where? What will I find when it opens up and releases me to
whatever being has kidnapped me from my friends on Daerr?
“Oh, no!” The fins from the arms suddenly retract and I dangle several feet
above the ground below. My eyes widen as I look around to see that I am no
longer on Daerr. The landscape here differs from what I have become
accustomed to on the vampire’s moon.
