Nova’s Prime

Do you ever feel like you were meant to do more with your life? To be more…more than this? I felt like that, like there was more waiting for me. Since I was a child, I always thought I was going to do something amazing. I had no idea what it was, but that didn’t matter. Then I grew up. I realized I wasn’t like the people I met in all the different schools I went to. I wasn’t like the friends that I made and had to leave behind when we moved. I wasn’t like my own family. I started to wonder what was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I be like them? Why did I have to be so different? I learned that the type of special that I was didn’t fit in with everyone else. It sucks growing up. Especially, when your childhood was already cut short.
I loved my family, but they always brought out the worst in me. I was never going to belong. They looked at what they wanted and i looked at what could be. They looked at desires and I looked to the stars. There was so much more and I tried to get them to see… you can’t explain color to the blind. So, I left them the moment the opportunity presented itself.
I joined the Galactic Authority Academy. Travel the stars and catch bad guys. Sounded simple enough. While I was able to breeze through basic, moderate and advanced combat training. I had trouble with following orders I didn’t agree with. The threat of being suspended loomed over me. My department was tech but I was exceptional in so many areas. The problem was that I was a woman…and I saw things coming. Call it dejavu or simple vibes. I could feel what others were feeling.
Everything had been fine and I’d made it to graduation day. Two lieutenants cornered me in the ladies room. I’d known them from combat training. They’d messed with me quite a bit and hurt me pretty bad on a few occasions. Lt. Reynolds and Fariday. Both married and successful.
“You’re the first woman to reach graduation with multiple gold ratings. They don’t even know where to put you once you graduate.” Said Fariday watching as I stepped back from the sink.
Reynolds locked the bathroom door and I felt my heart speed as his dark brown eyes met mine. “What made you join the Galactic Authority? I’m sure you knew it was going to be hard as a woman.”
“Honestly, I wanted to see space…” I replied realizing that there was no way I’d get out of this. They had a lust in their eyes that was animalistic.
“Why would a beautiful woman like you want to put herself at the mercy of aliens and space pirates?”
“Does it make you feel inferior that I already have the ratings to pass your position upon graduation?”
“You really shouldn’t poke a sleeping bear. You’re in enough trouble already.” Fariday added as he placed a hand over his shock stick.
I hated dealing with them before. If this was something I had to keep dealing with, why was I here?
“I’ll make you a deal.” Began Reynolds as he stepped forward and drew his shock stick, tapping it against his thigh as he looked me over. “Don’t fight this and I’ll consider being slightly more gently on you.”
“…what do you want me to do?” I asked although I knew the jist.
“Take your clothes off, and come and climb on my cock. Fariday here is going to fuck your ass and we’re going to show you your place as a woman.”
They both chuckled. “I’ve been wanting to fuck you since our first training session, you were so fiesty!” Reynolds licked his lower lip and I wanted to punch him in the mouth.
“So if I let you two fuck me, I can go to the graduation ceremony?” I asked softly. My heart beat faster with each moment.
“If you can walk.” Fariday smiled.
I began to unbotton my uniform and they stepped forward. Reynolds took my wrist as he looked down to me. The feeling of his hands on my made me want to break his wrist right now but I didn’t. Not yet. “Let me help you with that.” He holstered his shock stick and Fariday grabbed me by the back of my neck as his free hand pulled my shirt out of my pants and slid under my shirt. I gasped and Reynolds unbottoned my last button. I rose my gaze to his and I couldn’t hide my fear.
“God, damn you’re fucking beautiful. Something about you…I want to make you mine and fuck you raw. Make you scream.” He kissed my neck and I shuddered with repulsion. “Make you cry, and beg.”
Fariday took the bottom of my shirt and I let out a quick breath as Reynolds sucked at my neck. I let them put their disgusting hands on me and waited for their guards to drop.
“Why are you so soft? You smell amazing.” Fariday undid my bun and let my hair down. Reynolds tore open my shirt and I gasped and moved back. Fariday’s free hand locked around my waist and his body pressed firmly to my back. “What a slut you are. I bet you’re already ready for this dick to stretch out that ass hole…huh?” His hold tightened and he slid his hand to hold the front of my neck. “I bet you love the feeling of come exploding into your ass don’t you?”
My eyes watered and Reynolds pulled my pants open so roughly that the buckle snapped. My shirt hung open and I only had a bra covering my chest. Soon my pants were gone. I heard them both unzip their pants and I felt their guard go down.
“Reynolds..” I spoke with a sultry tone.
He smiled down to me and rubbed me through my underwear. “Talk to me baby, I know you want this.”
“I’m going to fuck you,” i leaned into Fariday with a moan and rubbed my ass against his member. “Im going to fuck you both.”
They both laughed with a approval and I suddenly shoved Reynold’s shock stick against his balls and switched it on.
I slammed my head back against Fariday’s face. And he gasped, with a stagger as Reynolds screamed and hit the ground with a thud. I turned and Fariday backhanded me but my adrenaline kept me up. If I fell they would do worse than rape me. I struck him with the shock stick and cried out with raw effort as I kicked in his knee. He went down and I shocked him until he went unconscious.
“You’re never going to graduate for this!” Reynolds groaned hatefully.
I turned around and moved to him, my eyes met his and I held back nothing, “You’re the best this place has to offer then I can do better. Everyone is going to know about this.”
“You think they’ll do anything? It’s not a matter of believing you. I’ve been here for years, by the time I’m done with you, you’re going to beg me to just fuck you. The only job you’ll get os cleaning toilets.”
I glared and knelt down. “Maybe, but you’ll never forget me will you Reynolds? Better than that. You will never have me. Maybe you’ll think twice before cornering a poor helpless woman in the woman’s room.” I spoke with a cold look in my eyes. “You’re a pathetic excuse for a man and a disgrace to what the Galactic Authority represents.” I lowered the stick to his neck and he tensed. I just wanted to see the fear in his eyes and I switched it on.
Both men lay unconscious and I went to the sink and looked into the mirror. Under my eye was already turning black and my lip was busted and bleeding on the bottom. The room spun and I felt sick.
There was a pounding on the door.
Suffice it to say I was kicked out of the academy. I couldn’t find work anywhere, I made sure Reynold’s and Fariday’s wife knew. I went to the ported ships and looked for work on board. There was no point in applying officially so I went unofficially and spoke to the ported ship captains. No one would have me, despite my skill set.
I was on my way to the bus station when I decided to look for a transport ship instead. If I couldn’t work here, I could find work offworld. I always heard how hard it was off world without a real job. Had to start somewhere.
“You look like you need a break from this planet.” Said a young woman outside a class 5 Nero space vessel. It was a lower class outdated ship that they stopped making when I was still a kid. “You have no idea.”
“Where you heading?” She asked.
“No idea.”
“Well if you can pay well take you. We’re stopping by Avelon Prime, Helium, and and The Terminus Space station if you decide you don’t like the other planets.”
That’s where they had shipments but they wanted to make some extra cash.
“I heard about the space pirates and the alien hostiles.”
She nodded,”You’ve never been to space, have you?”
I smiled and shook my head. “No…obvious huh?”
“It’s okay. It’s refreshing.” She reassured me. “We can handle pirates and the Raiders don’t typically attack transport vessels. We don’t have anything they want.”
I agreed to board and paid for my stay. On the way in I noticed 3 other passengers. Two men and a girl about the age of 8. The girl that showed me onto the ship was Cilia. She had short red hair and brown eyes. I saw two other crew members. A large man who looked like Jason Mamoa, and a thinner man who resembled Zachary Levi. I ended up in a room with the male passenger. He looked like Tom Hardy with a short beard and messy hair. He was dressed in grey sweats and a black sweater.
“Top bunk is yours.” He said in a low uniterested tone as he threw his pillow up there. Then kicked his bag under the bed.
“Have you been to space before?” I asked softly.
He laid on the bed and glanced at me. He just stared at me then looked away and closed his eyes.
“You, new girl.” Said a man from behind me.
I turned and a man in dark brown pants, a black shirt, brown suspenders and a matching black long coat looked at me with blue eyes. He looked like Josh Brolin.
“Yes,” I replied and adjusted my bag on my shoulder so it stopped digging in.
“What’s your name?”
“Eleria.”
“Great, I’m the captain of this fine ship. Names, Ezra. I like to know whose on board my ship but I don’t need to know much more than that. Don’t cause any trouble and it will be smooth sailing.” He started to leave then came back with a frown. “Are you good?”
I nodded. “I am now.”
He shifted his attention to the man on the bottom bunk. “Mr. Nova, I shouldn’t expect any trouble from you should I?”
“…No.” He sounded less than convincing but the captain seemed satisfied. With a nod he left.
I started putting my things away under the bed when the man on the bunk opened his eyes and looked at me as I was standing. His eyes were so green my heart sped. They were so beautiful but so lonely and angry. I couldn’t move. His gaze held me and nearly pierced through my core. My stung with tears and I felt my breath catch.
“Get back.” He said abruptly after staring back at me for what felt like ages. Whatever had just happened was over. He turned onto his side with his back to me.
I realized I had been stuck and felt ridiculous staring like that. I’d never felt so exposed, not even when I had been cornered in that bathroom. I moved away from him and left the room feeling slightly vulnerable. Why had his gaze been so heavy and intense?
I went down the hall and stopped at a large shower room and bathroom. There was two smokey glass stalls and two similar shower stalls. I walked down the hall passed two extra guest rooms like mine. One of them had the father and daughter talking. I kept going and came to a small mess hall and lounge area. It was nice. There was enough room for us plus a few more. Cilia was chopping onions.
“I’ll have dinner ready in a couple hours. We’ll be taking off soon, you should get to your quarters.”
I nodded. “Thank you.”
She smiled as she grabbed a second onion. “Don’t thank me yet. Some people aren’t meant to leave their planet.”
I smiled and nodded, “I like to try everything at least once.”
She looked up from the onion and rose a brow,”Everything?”
“Within reason.”
“You seemed so lost when I met you. How do you know space is where you want to go?”
“If you don’t know where you’re going any road will get you there.”
Cilia rested her hand and focused on me, “There’s more to you than you let on.”
“But you guys don’t care about that, or you would have requested a thorough background check.”
“Very true.” She agreed. While she seemed kind I could see that she was dangerous. “Well Eliria, the space world has a lot to offer you.”
“I have a lot to offer the space world.”
She laughed softly. “I think you and I are going to get along wonderfully on this trip. After we make out delivery on Avelon Prime, I’ll show you around the main square.”
“Thank you. Is it nice there?”
She nodded,”Like a Paradise but I think you’ll like Helium more… we’ll have to see, won’t we.”
I nodded.
The captains voice came up over the speakers. “Ladies, Gentlemen, old comers and new comers, this is Captain Ezra speaking. We’ll be taking off in 5 minutes. So please stay in your quarters until we clear the atmosphere and jump to ftl. I will give the all clear and you may move freely about the ship. The Cargo Bay of course is off limits to all unauthorized personal and if we should find you roaming in such area we will have to throw you out the airlock….”
I looked at Cilia eho was cutting onions again.
“Haha just kidding, but seriously, follow the rules and we’ll have a nice problem free trip. We’ll be arriving at Avelon Prime in about 32 hours so get comfortable.”
The speaker went off and I headed back to my room reluctantly as she ship fired up.
As I got to my room the doors closed. I climbed onto my bunk and sat nervously. Was I doing the right thing? Where the hell was I going to stay? I could afford to start a new life. What about my family? I never said goodbye, let alone let them know I was leaving the whole planet. Would they have cared? I’m sure the knew everything that had “happened” with the Galactic Authority Academy. I was lucky not to be arrested.
I brought my knees up to my chest and lowered my head as the ship lifted off the ground. I felt us rising higher and higher. I felt a rush of excitement and lowered off the bed to look out the window. The earth was getting further and further away. I tried not to think about Nova. I could feel him, his presence alone was demanding of my attention. I chose to ignore it. He wasn’t bothered with me, I shouldn’t be thinking about a man I don’t even know like that. We cleared the atmosphere and I looked at my home world in awe of how amazing it was. I pressed my hand to the cool nano glass. I was really leaving, and I had no idea when I’d come back.
I felt him behind me and I turned quickly. He was so tall.
He took my chin gently and caressed a thumb over my lower lip. My breath sped and so did my heart, as I looked into his endless eyes again. He felt dark, and as endless as his gaze.
I made myself step back and he let me.
“You can stop me.”
“I don’t understand.”
He pushed me up against the glass and spoke in my ear as his hands came to my hips.
