บท 32: Food First

I launched myself out of Zua'the's arms toward the doctor, only to quickly be caught around the waist by He'dtaalh.

I let out a loud scream as my arms and legs flailed in my fruitless attempt to get to the male in the white coat.

Suddenly…

"Do you want him dead?" asked Axis as he stood behind the doctor. My eyes narrowed to see a long sword, the length of my arm pressed against the male's neck.

All the fight went out of my body, and I slumped in He'dtaalh's arms. Pulling me into his chest, he maneuvered my body so that, once again, I was tucked against him in one of his arms while the other one was holding out a gun of some kind.

It was trained on the doctor as he looked at me. Then it hit me. These males that I was growing attached to were willing to kill to protect me.

"I want answers," I said at last, the fight leaving my body.
