didn't see how else to get her to take the hint.
    "You're right," she replied. "But I always do, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste."
    Sorrin sighed. "You should ask Caldir," he said. "He probably has trouble feeding himself and would benefit from it more than I would."
    "Oh, I don't know about that. You look like you could use someone taking care of you."
    Sorrin arched an eyebrow and Amalda flushed a dark red. It wasn't that she wasn't pretty. As far as Iglins went, she was lovely. Tall and slender with a lovely face and green tinted skin. If this had been before the incident, he wouldn't have thought twice about taking her up on the food and whatever else she wanted to offer.
    "Not that you don't take care of yourself," she was spluttering. "I mean. That's not what I meant at all. I-." She cut herself off forcibly.
    "Amalda," Sorrin said. "I appreciate it, but I'm not interested." Before she could say anything else he was saying his goodbyes and shutting the door lightly. Not quite in her face, but hopefully she would get the message this time.
    He moved to go back to his workout when the sound of a chime from his comm device made him stop. It could be a message, but it had been months since anyone had bothered to message him. No one would call, and it wasn't the right noise for that anyway. That only left...
    Sorrin practically ran to it.
    He unlocked the screen, and there it was. Two hits in one news bulletin. The floating city had been seen.
    Someone had found the Camadors.

Chapter Two: Stall
    It was sort of amazing how much a life could change over the course of a few months. Someone could be a brilliant student and then go on to be well on their way to being a successful adult and then have that ruined in an instant. If something catastrophic and unstoppable happened, then that same person could be trapped in a life they had never wanted or imagined for themselves with very little hope that it would ever get better.
    For Abigail Warren, this was less of a hypothetical situation and more the exact reality she was facing. In the span of about five months, she'd gone from having bright and happy dreams and plans for her future to...well. What she was now.
    A tired, dirty young woman, with lank hair and dull eyes, trapped in a prison that she didn't think she would ever get out of. She didn't know what had happened to her parents or her sister. She didn't know if most of her friends were safe, or even still alive. She didn't know what was happening outside of the walls and bars that kept her in.
    Even though Abby was pretty sure she was still on Earth, it may as well have been another planet for all the good it did her. The floating city that had come down out of the sky one day was a world apart. A world within itself, honestly, and nothing that was happening down on the planet proper was reaching the ones who were trapped in this prison. Maybe everyone on Earth was dead. Maybe they were being made into slaves or being harvested for some sinister purpose. Abby didn't know, and thinking about it made her head hurt.
    All she knew was that she wanted to get out of here. That didn't make her special, really. Everyone wanted to get out of this hell hole and get back to their families, but when their beautiful captors heard their pleas for release and mercy, they just laughed and continued moving.
    They were the most bizarre things, these creatures. Abby had always thought that creatures from other planets would be monstrous looking. They'd have sharp teeth and horns and claws or something, or else they'd look like the green or grey men that she saw in movies and television shows about aliens coming to Earth. She'd never seen anything about extraterrestrials who looked like supermodels.
    There wasn't really a better way to put it, either. That's what they looked like. Every single one she'd seen so far had been tall and thin with nearly inhumanly beautiful faces. The only real variation between the different members
