Her blue eyes flashed with anger, as she peered into his deep green eyes. She didn’t fear him and he didn’t understand why. She was a tall woman taller than even him but he didn’t think she had enough strength to fight him. He was not a weak man no one had ever said he was, but it was strange, this woman could throw him around like a rag doll. He reached down, lifted her off the ground, and threw her across the room, her body hitting the wall and falling to the ground. Cheers filled the room, he looked around and looked back down at the masked woman. She was quickly to her feet knocking him off his feet to the floor.
“Enough.” A voice boomed throughout the enclosed room, she quickly stood to her feet, and pulled back to a fighting stance. The man glanced around and wiped the blood from his mouth, waiting.
“Kayla, Kevin, that’s enough.” They both stood, she was still full of anger and she wanted to have his life or have someone to blame.
“Why can’t we finish? We were told to fight.” She asked almost growling. This human had angered her. She knew he hadn’t been the reason she was there but she wanted someone to blame and he was a likely target.
“Because, you are here for our amusement, not your own.” He reminded her
“Now, you must be punished for your insolence. TAKE THEM.” Kevin looked around knowing that the doors to the room would open, he feared them as did all others, you were never certain what lay beyond them
“I am sorry human.” She said to him, her gruff features softening slightly.
“I should never have angered you, they warned me. “ he said with a chuckle, and then he sobered up
“You can call me Kevin.” He said introducing himself, hoping she would calm down.
“If we live to see another day I may call you just that.”
“Ok” Kevin leaned against her as the guards advanced. They were taken roughly from the room and into another. Kevin was shoved in first hitting the back wall with a crash as Kayla was flung in after him.

Sorry about that human.” She said sitting down in the shadows.
“ Human?” He asked looking at her as he again whipped blood from his face. He had noticed she was calling him human was she not human herself. He wondered this he had yet to see her face and he had been here for a long time. The first time they had both been in the same cell together.
“ You are human. Unless I am wrong?” She said looking at him tilting her head. He had yet to see her face threw the dark mask she wore over it.
“ No I am human. But you called me human are you not human?” He asked moving towards the middle of the room, the chains on his legs clattered.
“ I am not human. Far from that.” She said looking at him from her place in the dark corner.
“ Then what are you if I may ask?” He said sitting back on his haunches wanting for an answer. She laughed a deep-throated laugh as she moved out of the shadows, her arms in shackles as she moved her hands up and removed the mask she wore. She looked into his eyes as he nearly gasped at the site of her face. Deep ridges on her forehead taking up most of her face above her eyes, long dark red hair hung well past her shoulders, her eyes a deep piercing blue as she looked at him.
“ I am Klingon. I am Kayla, my mother was a half klingon that happened to find a full klingon male that would take her in. She was a beautiful woman but her only being half resulted in my strange heritage of having deep blue eyes.” Kayla said looking at him.
“ I am Kevin.” He said holding out his hand to her. She reached out and placed her hand on his forearm and looked into his eyes.
“ My pleasure, your strong for a human.” She said looking at him.
“ I work out and deal with four younger brothers.” He said looking at her. “ And what about you?”
“ My race is always been known for being strong. I’ve always prided myself on my streigth. Please tell me what brings you here Kevin?” She asked sitting down on the floor. She could feel his feelings of fear, something she had gotten from her mother a touch of empathy.
“ I was taken from my home.” He said sadly. He kept his emotions in check just like he always did. But being here away from his family and friends.
“ I am guessing you’re from Earth?” She said looking at him.
“ Your not?”
“ Not even close.” She said with a smile. He looked at her caramel colored skin and red hair, he wondered how much human she really was.


He watched her for some time wondering why she was there. If she was a warrior as she said he wondered how they had captured such a creature. He found her beautiful many like himself wouldn’t find her beautiful with her gruff features. He had watched her settle into the corner and lay on the hard floor. In the room there where two beds in the small room but yet she chose to sleep on the floor. She remained in the dark corner as she slept. Kevin lay on the bed and finally fell asleep as it called to him.





“ They sleep my lord.”
“ Good I want them in a match by tomorrow.”
“ When?”
“ 1400 hours and I want them to be on opposite sides. I want her to kill him.”
“ I am seeing that they are bonding my lord. I am unsure if she would kill him.”
“ She will kill him. Her honor depends on it.”
“ If you say so my lord.”
“ I do and don’t question me.” He said spinning around and facing the servant that stood shaking before him. He looked down at the floor and smiled evilly at the young servant.
“ Bring me the warrior woman.”
“ Yes milord.” The young servant bowed and hurried from the room. He wasn’t sure how he was going to get the large Klingon woman from the cell without getting hurt. He looked at the large guards that stood out side the cell where the human and the klingon where being held.
“ The master wants her brought to him.”
“ It shall be done. She wont protest if we threaten harm to the human and if she does we will stun her.” The guard said heading into the room.

Kevin looked up as the door opened and three large armed guards entered the room. Kevin stood with his back against the wall looking at them wondering what was going on.
“ You are to be brought before the master.” He said looking toward Kayla.
“ And what do I owe the honor?” She asked tilting her head slightly as she bared her teeth at the man before her.
“ He wishes to see you and when the Master asks the slaves obey.”
“ I am no ones slave.” She growled advancing on the men that stood in the doorway her way to freedom. She growled and grabbed the man that stood closest to her and lifted him off the ground easily.
“ Drop him or the human dies.” One said grabbing Kevin and holding a phaser close to his temple.
“ That isn’t honorable to kill an unarmed man” Kayla said standing to her full height.
“ Do as your told and he wont die.”
“ Fine.” Kayla said moving forward, she stood and allowed them to grab the shackles that where on her arms and lead her from the room. Kevin slumped down against the wall and slid to the floor. He waited there unsure if they’d be back for him.



Kayla stood tall and strong as she looked at the ship Master. That was the only name she had heard him called the entire three months she had been there. What bothered her where the large amounts of deaths that had occurred that weren’t at all honorable.
“ You will bow before me.” His voice boomed from somewhere in the room.
“ I bow for no one.” She growled. She felt stun sticks hit her in the back trying to get her to her knees. She growled and turned towards him lifting him off the floor snapping his neck in an instant.
“ By the time I am done with you, you will bow to me.”
“ I’d rather die.” She growled and faced him. He was a tall man, nearly as tall as she was, his eyes a deep dark brown hidden behind dark glasses he wore. She could tell that he didn’t want to be there and he wasn’t the one that was the master here but he was under the masters control.
“ Your not him.” She growled grabbing his throat and lifting him off the floor.
“ I am the master.” He chocked out.
“ You’re the master’s slave I can see that in your eyes HUMAN!” She screamed throwing his slender body across the room, hearing it make a sickening crack as it hit the wall.
“ SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!” She screamed scaring the guards that had brought her in. She heard the door slid open and a large man entered the room, he stood a good head taller than her and was built larger. But she was no coward and wasn’t about to back down from him.
“ She will submit to me.” He said never totally revealing himself to her. She could tell he wasn’t human but he wasn’t Klingon either.
“ What do you want done with her?”
“ Chain her facing the wall. I will break her myself.” He said, he watched as they pulled her to the wall and chained her to the wall. Her uniform was thick and she knew if he was going to do anything it wouldn’t cause her any harm. She felt the edge of a blade at the base of her neck as it sliced threw her uniform. She stood there as the now mangled uniform lay at her feet. She still stood tall and defiantly as she felt his hands roam her now naked form. He grabbed the back of her head and slammed her face into the wall. She saw stars dance before her eyes as she felt blood run down her face. She still stood there saying nothing. She wouldn’t let him degrade her in anyway. Kayla closed her eyes and concentrated on other things. Her empathic side tried to shove out the emotions she was getting from him. Her mother had taught her to meditate to keep out the bad images that had begun to flood her mind. The man known as the master smiled evilly as his hands drifted over her ample breasts and then up to her neck. He could feel her body react to his motions.
“ What’s the matter creature you having problems.” He hissed in her ear. She let out a low growl telling him to keep his hands to himself.
“ Oh I bet I can get passion from you.” He said spinning her around so she was facing him, her arms crossing painfully.
“ You will get nothing from me.” She growled at him. She tried to move her body as his hands roamed her body again. “ Take your hands off of me.” She growled kicking out her leg hitting him hard causing him to double over in pain. She smirked as she watched him stand and backhand her hard. She could taste the blood in her mouth again. She watched his motions as he pulled out a whip, and whipped her across the chest with it. She felt the blood running down her chest but still she did not scream.
“ You will scream for me.” He said looking at her. She looked at him her blue eyes blazing with anger.
“ NEVER!” she said looking at him.




Kevin jumped slightly when the door to his cell swung opened. He stood and readied for anything that came threw the large metal door. To his surprise an unconscious Kayla was thrown into the room. Her naked body marred with bloody marks and stab wounds. He stood and slowly made his way to her as a guard dropped a small bundle on the floor.
“ Clean her up and be ready for the next match.”
“ She’s in no shape for a match.” Kevin said looking at the guard.
“ You’ve been told. Be ready.” The guard growled and exited the room.
“ Damn it, Kayla wake up.” Kevin said touching her face with a cloth to clean her wounds. He didn’t even know where to start, she as bleeding all over blood coming from places he didn’t even see that had been cut. He really need her to wake up he really needed to know where she was hurting even if she would never admit to actually hurting. He cleaned and dressed her wounds and then dressed her in the cloths they had given him to put on her. He placed her head on his lap and ran his fingers slowly threw her long hair. He loved the color of her skin the light almost caramel color.
“ Oh god.” Kayla said as she opened her eyes. Kevin looked down into her eyes and could only see was pain.
“ Don’t move you’ve been hurt.” Kevin said running his fingers over her forehead feeling her ridges slowly. Kayla lay there looking into his concerned green eyes. She reached up and pulled him down to her and kissed him passionately, Kevin moaned a bit as she deepened the kiss nipping at his lips a bit causing them to bleed. Licking the blood off his lips she looked into his eyes.
“ Thank you.” She whispered as she slowly stood, she smoothed the cloths she was wearing and then looked towards him.
“ Your welcome.” Kevin said surprised. He watched her slow movements as she made her way threw the small cell they where in. She paced back and forth like a caged animal, he wasn’t entirely sure if she wasn’t one. He licked his lips and ran his fingers over them as he watched her pace.
“ We have to leave this place and kill that dishonorable dog.” She growled as she slammed her fist into the wall.
“ What did he do?” Kevin asked, she turned her rage towards him and he took several steps back away from her, not wanting to be on the receiving end of her anger. She was his only friend in this hellhole and he truly didn’t want to mess it up.
“ He dishonored me in the most possible way. And he will die for doing so.” She said looking away from him. In some ways she was ashamed for what she allowed that man to do to her but her warrior part told her she couldn’t have stopped him and truth be told she had tried.

Kevin had watched her pace for the better part of an hour. He wasn’t truly sure what to do with her, he had never seen anyone like her then again a lot about what the universe still surprised him. Being from a large family Kevin had never left Earth. Not that he didn’t dream of one day going out and traveling the stars but he never knew it would be like this.
“ Talk to me human.” Kayla said sitting down carefully, her ribs ached as did her back.
“ About what?” Kevin asked thinking they had finally made it past her calling him human.
“ About your family. I know that you where wishing you where home with them.” She said looking towards him.
“ How is that possible?”
“ I am a empath” She said looking at him. “ That is one gift from my mother I could have done without.” She commented to him.
“ You can feel my emotions.” Kevin said looking at her.
“ Yes, it’s the one thing I can’t handle, being a warrior that is one thing that is my weakness.” She said looking away from his eyes.
“ My family was large and my father died when I was a boy. He left me with the one thing I had always thought never to be useful, be a good warrior by being a good friend. Never really understood what he meant until now.”
“ My family wasn’t as large but I came from a great house. We where a very honorable and strong family. My father on the councle. He always wanted me to be a strong warrior. I just never thought it would be by fighting in an arena to stay alive.” She said sadly. They both jumped when the door opened and several guards entered the room.
“ Put on your mask. You both have a match.”
“ It’s a good day to die.” She said with a smile.





**** Kayla’s POV******

I watched the young human move up behind me. He didn’t seem to trust me alone. I am strong and brave and he knows it. He’s seen me fight and yet he still feels the need to protect me. It’s the other way around I feel the need to protect him, something about him makes me want to keep him safe from harm. I can feel the anger and sadness radiating in the halls, from the other prisoners as we make our way down the hall. My body still aches a bit from the beating it took earlier. I can feel where Kevin’s hands hand moved gently over my body cleaning and dressing my wounds. I hated feeling so fragile but I didn’t have much of a choice as the master of this place beat and molested me in ways even my father would have found dishonorable.
“ Kayla, are we fighting together?” Kevin asked looking at me. I see the concern in his deep green eyes.
“ I am unsure.” I say as we walk down the dark hallway. I heard the cheers of the crowds now don’t get me wrong being from a warrior race I enjoy a good fight but I wasn’t really sure if I should be fighting for someone amuzement.
“ Yes you are fighting together. Chained together.” I turned to see the trolge that had assaulted her.
*** end pov***




“ What do you mean chained together?” Kevin asked looking at the man.
“ Just as I said, you will be chained together. I want to see the two of you work together and survive.”
“ You wouldn’t dare. I wont hurt him” Kayla growled looking at the man that had caused all her problems. She still had yet to see his face just his evil eyes that’s all she had seen that night in the darkness. She looked down as the chain was cuff was clamped onto her arm. Kevin groaned as he ended up with the other end of the chain and cuff. He stood there for a moment and then felt as he was pulled forward and then shoved into the arena with Kayla.
“ You ready human.” She asked looking at him. Kevin at her and nodded and stood with her back against his.
“ As ready as I’ll ever be” Kevin said raising the weapon he had been handed. It was the only time Kayla had been able to use her Bat’leth as she stood holding it for her fight. She heard what sounded like growling coming from the unopened doors. She didn’t like where this was leading as the doors slid opened and two large wolf like creatures entered the room. They deffinately not from her part of the universe and she promised they weren’t from Kevin’s either.
“ What the hell is that?” Kevin asked looking at her over his shoulder.
“ That is an excellent question. They aren’t from my part of the universe.” She said blocking a blow from the large of the two creatures. Kevin brought the sword he held in his hands and slashed it across the other creatures arm hearing howl it in pain. Kayla growled and moved forward and hit the creature before her in the leg with her weapon and stepping back waiting for his reaction only to find out what it was the hard way as he lashed out and dug his long nails into her skin ripping it open. Kayla howled in pain and grabbed the creature by it’s throat and snapped it’s neck. Turning her angry eyes towards the other creature she dug her Bat’leth into his torso and flipped it across the room leaving a bloody trail before she dropped to her knees in pain.
“ We won.” She said looking towards the doors. She knew what lay behind them that night as guards advanced towards the two.

She held onto Kevin as they moved down the hallway back to their cell, she wouldn’t admit it in front of their captors that she was hurting badly. Kevin stumbled twice as they walked into the cell he and Kayla collapsed in a heap on the floor.
“ Damn your heavy.” Kevin said rolling out from under her. He could see she had passed out again.
“ Damn it, Kayla stay awake.” Kevin said slapping her hard across the face. Kayla’s eyes snapped open and she growled at him.
“ Bastard” She growled as she made her way to her feet. She shakily stood and walked to her bunk and lay down on it. She pulled her knees up as she felt her battered and bruised body protest with the act.
“ Kayla put your legs down I will clean that wound.”
“ No, it’s not that bad.”
“ It’s bad enough, let me clean it. We will get out of here.” Kevin said smoothing her hair away from her face. He could see the blood running down her face. He hated seeing someone hurting this badly especially a warrior of her kind. He moved the cloth around and cleaned the blood away from her face.



She had watched his body and motions it had been three weeks since they had been put in a cell together, she wasn’t sure if her feelings for him was because she wanted to protect him or cause she cared. She felt his hands his strong hands on her shoulders. She had come to rely on those strong hands.
“ Kevin.” She said feeling him pull her into his strong arms. She stood a head taller than he did but she didn’t care. We had been brought to a new cell something they could be watched in.
“ Food’s here.” He said holding her hand in his.
“ I’m not hungry.” She whispered. She felt Kevin’s soft lips on her neck.
“ I am going to eat, I’ll leave you some.” Kevin said moving away from her. Kayla sat down on her cot and checked the new wounds she had. They weren’t as bad as the others she had but bad enough. She looked out of the corner of her eye to see Kevin lifting the fork to eat. She looked at the food and could feel something was wrong. She stood and knocked the food away from him.
“ What the hell? Kayla?” He said looking at her with confused eyes.
“ The food they put something in the food.” She said reaching down and bringing what he was about to eat to her nose so she could smell it.
“ Poison?” Kevin asked looking at her. Kayla nodded and looked towards the door, her eyes blazing with anger. She heard the evil laugh she had become used to over the months she had been there. She wasn’t letting anyone near Kevin and she had made that promise and it was one she had intended on keeping. She looked at the door and watched it open.
“ Time for another match.” He said coming into the room. Behind him guards but what Kayla noticed was the two smaller men that stood chained behind them. A short blonde his eyes down cast in shame another brunette standing next to him, the same young man she had seen three months ago.
“ Are they our next aponents?” Kayla asked.
“ Yes. They are.” He said looking at Kayla. “ I am leaving them in here with you. Do with them what you chose.”
“ Why? If we are going to kill them why leave them with us.”
“ Because I wish it and it shall be done.” He said shoving the two chained men into the small cell. Kevin stood behind Kayla and looked at the men.
“ Brian?” Kevin said looking at the smaller man. Kayla watched as the man looked up at Kevin. The look of recognition in his scared blue eyes, Kevin pulled the younger man into his arms and held onto him tightly.
“ Who’s this?” Kayla asked causing the two new arrivals to jump.
“ My cousin Brian. He’s been missing for a few years. Hey little cousin how long have you been here?” Kevin asked looking into Brian’s eyes.
“ Four Years.” Brian stuttered out looking at his cousin. Brian looked past Kevin and looked at Kayla. “ What is she?”
“ I am a Klingon and your both human.” She said to the new comers. The dark haired man looked at them and sat himself down in a corner. Kayla moved to him.
“ What is your name human?” She asked looking at him.
“ Alexander.” He said pulling his knees up. He had seen her fight and the day she had been brought to the master, he was to convince her he was the master and when he had failed he was punished.
“ You’re the one that had been punished the day I was beaten.” Kayla said looking at Alexander. Alexander nodded his head but kept it lowered.
