phaser went off and struck the pilot in the side.
    “No!” HonORa got up and went to catch the pilot as he started to slide to the floor.
    The warrior grabbed HonORa’s arm and was pulling her up. Melody began to get up, but her friend motioned for her to stay seated. HonORa turned on the warrior.
    “You would dare to hurt a priestess of the Goddess KatieRI?”
    The warrior finally realized who she was and released her. “I was told the shuttle was full of Earth females. Why is a Katieran priestess on board?”
    She knelt down to try to stop the bleeding of the pilot. “I was on my way to Kiljor to help them open a new temple.”
    The warrior ran a hand through his hair. “I did not know you weren’t an Earth female. I would never hit a Katieran female.”
    “You should never hit a female—any female!” HonORa leaned down to the pilot. “Are you okay?”
    Melody watched as the pilot whispered something in the priestess’s ear, and then he passed out. She prayed he wasn’t dead.
    “Back to your seat, priestess.” The warrior made HonORa stand up and come back over to her seat. Then he went to check on his friend outside the shuttle.
    When HonORa was sitting next to her once more, Melody leaned over and asked, “What did the pilot say to you?”
    “He said that if we get a chance, to hit the blue button. It’s an emergency switch to autopilot that will return the shuttle back to Katiera.”
    “Great, we just need the perfect opportunity, when the warriors are distracted.”
    “I also grabbed his phaser.” HonORa opened her hand and showed Melody the weapon.
    Melody took the weapon. She had to help save these women. “I’ll distract them while you make your way to the pilot’s seat.”
    HonORa shook her head. “No, it’s too dangerous. Give me the phaser. I’ll handle it.”
    “Out of the two of us I bet I’m the only one who knows how to use a weapon. HonORa, you know we have to save these women. Whatever it takes, we have to save them.”
    “Not without you.”
    She squeezed the other woman’s hand. Somehow, in just days, she had become closer to HonORa than to any of the women she had been living with for months. “I’ll be fine. I’m tough.”
    Melody stood up and walked to the door of the shuttle. One warrior was outside while the other stood in the opening. He saw her and frowned.
    “Get back to your seat.”
    “I’ve just got a few questions. Who are you? Where are you taking us?”
    “I said get back to your seat!” He went to grab her but she rushed him, hitting him square in the chest. They both fell out of the shuttle and rolled onto the ground.
    She looked up from the place she landed. “Go HonORa! Now!” She watched as the shuttle door closed and started to lift off. The two warriors panicked, firing their weapons toward the shuttle but it had a type of force field protecting it. She felt relief that the others had gotten away. She was in a shit load of trouble, but she wasn’t going to go down without a fight.
    “Female! I am going to kill you!” The warrior she had attacked got to his feet and rushed at her furiously.
    She scrambled to her feet and pulled the phaser out. She didn’t know what to push to make it work but she jabbed at everything. Then it let out several laser shots. Most of them missed him, then one shot got him in the head. He went down.
    “Female, you are crazy!” The warrior named DaAX knocked the phaser out of her hand. He punched her in the face. She fell to the ground and he was on her before she could move. He began hitting her over and over. Melody thought she would die now, any minute. She wished she could have spent more time with her mother. She hoped that whatever afterlife there was, she would be reunited with her father. Daddy, I’ll see you soon.
