Eve

Wilhelm got up that morning and sighed. He looked out of his bedroom window at the blue sun overhead and was only reminded of just how far he was from home. His entire family had been prominent members of the military so it was only natural that he followed in their footsteps and served his planet. But when he had made the rank of Commander and they had given him a "special assignment" on Planet Eve this was not what he had expected. He thought he would have been fighting to protect humanity from some evil alien race, maybe even helping to make peace between the humans and the aliens but the reality was, unfortunately, much for tedious. Since Planet Eve was a fairly new colony and a good distance away from Earth they sent a few government officials to oversee the colonizing of the planet. Of course these officials would need constant protection, from any hostile aliens and from any revolting colonials, and that was where Will came in.

He got up and followed his daily routine; shower, eat, groom, and dress before going to work. Just as he was putting the final touches on his tie there was a knock at the door. Wilhelm didn't know many people on this planet and the ones he did know didn't know him well enough to drop by uninvited. He hated unwelcome guests, he hated almost anything that he wasn't prepared for so he prepared himself for just about every situation conceivable. It turns out he had been prepared for this situation, Wilhelm carried a crystal pistol in his right jacket pocket and although he was more a fan of incendiary devices this would have to do for now. He opened the door and found himself face to face with something he was not prepared for, two agents that were dressed similarly to him were standing on his porch.

He tried to hide his annoyance and saluted them. They claimed that they needed him for another "special mission", if it was anything like the last one he wasn't to thrilled to go. But they were officers and they outranked him and so against his better judgement, he went with them.

The raging winds outside of the dark tent were louder than Ashley could think. She shook her head and brought the cigarette to her lips. She took a long drag as bangs fell in her face. She blew the smoke in front of her with a sigh. Ashley was getting real tired of this place. She'd been here for far to long. She'd practically forgotten why she was here. She brought her cigarette up to her lips for another drag. 'Such a pain...' She kept thinking this and shook her head.

She blew the smoke out the corner of her mouth, and left the cigarette just hang from her lips. She stood up and walked over to a sheet that was covering her beloved Rifle. She pulled the sheet off, and held it on her hand. Lagiacris, the sniper of crystal that never misses in her hands. A smirk rose to the frail woman's lips. The hair that once covered her face was now shaken off. She admired her weapon with her light green eyes.

Ashley covered her weapon once more and moved to walk outside the tent. As soon as she exited she felt the cold winds bash against her body. This brought forth a shiver, but one last drag from her Cigarette shook that off. She held out her arm and closed her eyes. Through dark eyes, lit with green surroundings she saw something approaching her. Then it landed on her arm and looked at her expecting a treat. The woman opened her eyes and chuckled. She pat her hawk with a small hand and turned around to go inside. "You hungry Barnobus?" She spoke in a tired, but gentle voice. This question brought a joyed yell from the animal and she turned to the rations pack. She unzipped the top most hole in her pack. She pulled a cold, dead rat from the back. She casually picked it up and tossed it over to Barnobus the hawk, who happily gobbled it and tore it apart.

Ashley went to pick up another Cigarette and wait for the call from command to make a move, or come home for something exciting. Because she was currently bored beyond help. She wanted so very badly, to shoot something.

Pittaa walked in the brisk wind, his head ringing with the howling winds and the events previously, he rubbed his elbow as if it was sore and there was a hole in his coat. "i need to get away, far away, i need to calm down" his memory raced back to the event that just changed his entire life, shaking from what happened Pittaa sat on a bench hiding his bloody arm and allowed his mind to process what had just happened.



Pittaa woke up and yawned shifting his dark red brown like hair out of his eyes, tilted his head either side till his neck cracked and went and got ready. he was walking to the local shop to buy some breakfast and the latest magazine about the aliens he heard about, he turned the corner away from his house and saw -them- a group of thugs that liked making Pittaa's life difficult, he turned back and decided he would rather take the long way, an extra twenty minutes walk than deal with those people, little did he know that he was being followed.

through the maze of the city he got caught and surrounded the gang laughing as they stared at their prey "thought you could avoid us hmm? well you can't you live on our streets you live by our rules, i think compensation is in order" the others nodded their agreement and they began to close in on Pitta. "Really, i have nothing, you've taken it already" Pittaa said with a nervous voice, but he knew they knew that and he also knew they didn't care. a fist launched into his stomach and he double over coughing, being thin he squirmed out of the group and got some distance and regained his composure but was soon surrounded again "well well well, you think you can get away? ill just have to smash you then wont i?" Pittaa was feeling terrified, and then angry as the adrenaline coursed through his body "no more" he thought, enough was enough.

he was pushed from behind and he stumbled forward but not before raising his arm and smashing his elbow into the man behind but....something was wrong, an agonizing pain shot through Pittaa's arm and he pulled it away to see that there was blood, he looked behind at the shocked man trembling.....and a hole in his throat. the pain had gone from his arm now but after seeing the blood the others rushed him and he stopped thinking all together, he raised his leg to boot one man in the shin and suddenly his leg felt heavy and when it connected with the other mans leg there was the crunching of bones and a howl of pain. "MUTANT!!! RUN!!" the gang fled dragging their injured friend and leave the first one as he fell to the side silently, eyes staring in horror and death. Pittaa then began to laugh "they left me alone, i fought back and won!!!" he laughed for a few minutes before it registered that he has killed someone....he shivered and fled the scene

and that's how it all started something was weird but he had trouble calming down, usually he could just repress it but now he just couldn't. "i need to let it out, i need to calm down" someone came up from behind and he lashed out his body acting on instinct, all his fingers seem to mold together and push out of his skin, it was painful and formed some sort of blade, a diagonal slice upwards silenced the unknown attacker and Pittaa fled again, he was scared of what was happening to him but he loved this feeling as well. i can defend myself.... and so he ran down the streets laughing to himself he knew he would get caught but he never had to be scared anymore he hoped....no....he didn't hope he wont get scared, he demanded it.

Aiden rode in the back of a jet black limousine. He sat across from the two agents that had come to get him. The windows of the limousine were tinted and although he couldn't see just where they were going he made a mental note of every turn they made and how long each strait was. By his calculations they were headed straight for the Space Station but he couldn't figure out why. He would have been notified if he had been reassigned to another post but these men hadn't said anything to him after he got in the car. He was about to ask just which branch of the government these men were from when the car came to a stop. Wilhelm came out, followed closely by the so called agents, and found himself on one of the Space Station's launch pads. None but the most wealthy people could afford their own spaceship and Will didn't know anyone with that much money. Not even the government officials he was hired to protect made enough to have their own interstellar craft. The two men gestured for Wilhelm to get into the craft and he complied.

He had enough money on him at any time to get from any human-populated planet back to Earth. If they took him to another planet in the Lux System he would be able to afford a shuttle ticket back home and figure things out from there. As he was musing this over he was also observing the interior of the craft. Whomever it belonged to certainly spared no expense, the entire thing was lavishly decorated to look like a very posh study. There were book cases, several armchairs, a large desk with a mantle behind it and even a fake fireplace in the corner. Instead of fire there was a cluster of glowing crystals within that gave off a soft glow. Sitting behind the desk was a very well dressed man, his suit had to cost at least $4000 and yet he wore it as if it didn't mean a thing to him. Wilhelm sat in one of the armchairs as the two agents sealed the door. The engine rumbled to life and he could feel the shift in air pressure as the artificial gravity was turned on. Will made himself as comfortable as possible and waited for the man to speak.

"You have some very interesting talents Will, do you mind if I call you Will?. Talents that we could really put to good use. You see we've been watching yo for quite some time now. Watching how you handle dangerous situations, how you save that fool of a governor from the lion's jaws without him even knowing he was in danger." Aiden's eye twitched imperceptibly and his fingers drummed on the side of the chair. He took a long look at the man sitting across from him, he could feel the eyes of the agents watching his every move. It was clear that they knew who he was and what he could do. "First of all I do mind you calling me Will. Secondly where are you taking me? And thirdly, what exactly do you plan to do with my talents?" "All will be explained in good time, once we get to Earth."

Pittaa ran down the streets for hours until he got surrounded yet again, but this time it was by cars. He stopped and stumbled by having to suddenly stop and caught his breath while two business men came out of one of the cars, Pittaa bracd himself but was met with them raising their hands in a peaceful gesture, he looked down and saw that he was standing as if ready to fight..or run he wasn't sure, they thought fight and that was enough for him

"who are you?" he said in a nervous voice once again as he viewed for ways to escape.
"we work for the government and we have reports that we can help you and you can help us, we have done background checks. you get bullied often correct? powerless to help yourself?" the man spoke like someone who knew Pittaa better than he even knew himself, well what the man said was correct so Pittaa nodded but spoke. "That's right, but they have left me alone now, what do you want from me?"

the man chuckled and gestured to his car "we would like to talk to you, we can help make sure no one ever bullies you again, it will be hard work but we can help you" Pittaa thought about it and thought to himself "if things go wrong its only a car, I'm pretty sure I can escape it if that....thing happens again" he wasn't sure what was happening to him but Pittaa's only wish was that it wouldn't stop, and these men said they could help.

after a long moment thinking Pittaa nodded "Ok, sure if you can keep your promise I'll be glad to help he stepped into the car and off they went towards the space port. "where are we going?" He asked as he watched the city flew by

"Earth." was all the man would say and they fell silent as Pittaa thought about that "Earth hmm? i wonder what its like, and i wonder why there of all places?" there was no answer just the hum of the car as it sped towards the ship that would take him towards his goal
