SUMMER
The barred windows and high fence around Protegre proved that it’s not a
school, but a prison. That – and the tracker around my wrist that’s
rubbed it nearly raw the last three years.
“It’s for your protection,” the headmaster said on day one. He was a tall
alien, willowy, some species I’d never seen before. Even after nearly a
decade in space, I still wandered onto entire species of aliens I’d never seen
or heard of. It’s not as if there’s a guide or an encyclopedia. That would
have been too kind; god forbid they give humans an ounce of help.
Fuck Earth, right?
Our protection. That’s what Halsten II said in their great decree several
thousand years ago. Apparently, there was once a time where humans were
ignorant of aliens. Halsten II visited Earth and found it primitive and
decided to place an embargo on it. No one could communicate or visit, lest
it disrupt the fragile species found there.
Then Emperor Frin turned a black hole onto Halsten II and ended its
reign of the galaxy.
Embargo lifted. Earth’s – and several other planets’ – sheltered peace
destroyed.
Now humans are currency, and what was once home is little more than a
barren wasteland of war, disease, and alien colonies. I was born there, but
any memories I have of Earth are viewed through the sheen of youth. Tall
green plants that sway in the wind, a dog, a family.
All I’ve known the last decade is the great expanse of space – at least
until three years ago when I was captured by bounty hunters for breaking a
few small, very measly, very silly laws. It was either the death prison on
Dedo or Protegre School for Human Women.
I question whether I made the right decision every day.
It wasn’t like I had planned on staying. In my mind, a school was easier
to vacate than a prison, especially one created for the expressed purpose of
killing you. A school? For human women?
Easy.
I eyed up the tall gates as the carriage bumped over the dirt road from
town to the school. I could probably scale it, but then I’d be too exposed.
Maybe under it? I didn’t know what the soil was like here. Previous trips to
Gagos were to the city center, where most of the trade in this part of the
galaxy took place. The suburbs – or wilds or whatever you wanted to call
this part of the planet – was unknown to me. I’d been to plenty of planets
where the ground was made of diamond or metal.
I’d have to test it out.
The gates yawned open as the carriage drew closer, halting just before
the threshold where two guards stood. They wore tall hats with a feather on
top and crisp blue suits, making them look like twins. A few other guards
paced the grounds in similar attire.
