and yanked her along. Every time Rokai thought that
he was taking a step forward with her she proved him wrong.
    He
brought her into the throne room. His eyes searched the line for
Jamko. Rokai was pleased to see that he was the third in the line.
    Standing
in line, waiting to talk to the king was something that could drag on
for days, weeks and in some cases months, depending on the number of
people waiting ahead of you in the long line.
    Rokai was
eager to be given land on a nice planet and get started growing and
cultivating the planets. He had decided on the path his life needed
to take and now he wanted to start it. Now that he had Amber he
wanted to settle down in one spot. He glanced her way for a moment.
She was looking at the others in line and they were staring back at
her.
    Rokai had
to wonder what was going through their heads. She was a dressed
woman, but her clothes weren't the right kind. In fact, they were the
ugliest clothes he had seen on her planet. Perhaps it would have been
better to visit the doctor first. They needed to be checked, to make
sure that they weren't carrying any sickness along from the planet
they had visited.
    “ Amber.”
He called out to her to get her attention. “When it is our turn, I
want you to be quiet. You may not speak to the King and Queen.”
    Amber
nodded at him, thinking that if he didn't want her to talk to them it
could only be because he was doing something illegal.
    She would
tattle. Perhaps they would bring her home. The feeling of hope
started to build in her chest.
    It took
over an hour for it to be their turn. Amber's legs were sore from
standing so long. She was glad to step forward, away from the crowds
of creatures surrounding her.
    These
were the creatures that made up children's nightmares as they slept
in their beds at night. If they hadn't been standing and waiting so
peacefully she would have clung to the Red Barbarian, begging him to
protect her.
    Rokai and
Jamko stepped forward, both eager to tell the King about what they
had discovered on the planet, Earth.
    They
bowed down on one knee with their heads down. “Your Majesties, we
are pleased to report that we were extremely successful on Earth. We
discovered a drug to control women. It's called chocolate.”
    The crowd
gasped surprised, but impressed with the finding. Only two women
broke out laughing. One was Amber and the other was the Queen.
    Rokai
peeked back at Amber, giving her a look of warning. He looked back at
the Queen who was covering her mouth.
    Amber
couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was such silly nonsense.
Had that been why he was constantly shoving it into her mouth?
    Then she
frowned. She didn't want to be controlled, or claimed. “I want to
go home. I have been kidnapped from my home planet, against my will.
These men have no right to have me here,” she called out clearly.
    Rokai
stood up and grabbed onto her hand and jerked her down to the floor
next to him. “As you can see your Majesty, I have found a woman
while on the planet. I still need to claim her.”
    “ Earthlings
are a fierce lot. I wish you much luck with her.” The King told
Rokai.
    “ Hey,
Earthlings are wonderful people. Your life is better for knowing
one.” The Queen leaned over to the King and kissed him.
    Amber
looked up at the King. She couldn't understand a thing he was saying
but the Queen she understood perfectly.
    The Queen
looked like a normal person, but the King was larger than she was. He
was even larger than the men who had kidnapped her.
    The Queen
was sitting on his lap as if she were a child. Several children were
standing around the throne. The Queen was clearly very pregnant. Some
of the children looked distinctly human while others were just too
large to be. Mostly the boys looked like their father and the girls
looked like their mother.
    The King
mumbled something, making Rokai stand and approach the throne. He
reached into his bag and offered the King some chocolate.
    Amber
watched in
