The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

Kain's strange hair rushed past me with intense momentum.

Tekita passed me by.

He didn't even glance at me. His hands were outstretched and cannonballs came out of his open palms.

The other two aliens Yulia and I knocked out was conscious now.

The last alien we didn't see had joined them.

The three aliens followed Kain and Tekita.

I stared at the two moons in the sky.

A sigh slipped out of my lips.

It was over.

Our escape ended in an epic failure.

The painful thing was Habiba and her issues. We could have gotten away if she had the patience to wait a few minutes. I would have arrived at her side to help her move. Her actions spoiled everything.

Now, Tekita would watch us closely.

It was a sure thing that he wouldn't give us the opportunity to slip out of his reaches again. He would doubled his security and guard.

Besides, I didn't forget the punishments he promised.

The anger on his face and the fury in his voice was palpable.

A bad premonition tormented my mind.

A ball of emotions lingered in my chest.

I wanted to scream at Habiba.

I understood her point of view. Still, she shouldn't jeopardize the whole team because of her feelings. Things would have been very different if I had gotten to Habiba faster.

The self-blame ate at my insides too.

Habiba and I was at fault.

Now, nobody was going to get away. Habiba made sure every human present rots in Tekita's fury pit with her.

Time went by slowly.

A few moments later, Tekita and his group returned.

Every member of the exploration team, including Jimmy, was there with them.

There was various injuries on the bodies of my comrades.

The degrees of each person's wounds was different.

I think the degrees of their injuries depended on their zeal to escape from Tekita's pursuit.

Tekita's superpowers must have hurt a lot.

Kain's hair had grown to an unimaginable size. The strands of his hair was wrapped around the members of the human race.

Yulia, Tobias, Turner, Griffin, Ryker, Bryant, Jimmy, Joey and Gianna stared at Habiba with ferocious eyes. It was like she killed their mothers. Habiba didn't mind.

She was still in the same position she fell in.

Her face was expressionless and she faced the burning gazes searing into her body with calm eyes.

"Who gave you guys the guts to escape? It seems I have been too lenient with your group." Tekita growled, "My silence has been taken for a sign of weakness."

"Something was disrupting my mental state when I got along with them. I finally know what is bugging me all these while. These people are too calm. Anyone that was told that they would be sold to slavery wouldn't be so calm." Kain interjected.

"You are right. I should have been more vigilant. I thought they would heed my warning. Since they don't know what is good for them, I would be happy to bring them to the right track in the best way I can." Tekita snorted.

Without even thinking deeply, I knew Tekita's methods would involve violence and punishments.

I knew he would deal with us when the escape failed. It was a sure thing.

I was waiting for his verdict.

I don't know if Tekita would harm us physically. His anger sparked a tiny twinge of fear in me. I don't know if he would go too far in order to prove his point and power. "You alerted us." Tekita said to Habiba.

His face brightened up a little and a small smile lingered on his lips.

Habiba didn't deny anything, "Yes, I did."

"Good. You are bold and frank. I didn't notice your character build before. Although you tried to escape with them, the merit from your call offsets your offense. There would even be some rewards remaining." Tekita smiled. "Thank you for your forgiveness." Habiba responded.

I didn't look at her.

It was sad.

Officially, someone from the human race had defected to the enemy's camp.

After what Habiba replied Tekita with, it would be hard for me or any member of the exploration team to trust her again.

Actually, from now on, I wouldn't trust anybody else. The only reliable person is myself.

"This applies to every one of you. I would give great benefits to anyone that tells me news about the little thoughts your companions might have. Better treatment would await whoever reports to me. You will never be able to escape me, you should know which option and choice to go with." Tekita said, "Now, it is time for the punishment I promised."

I took a deep breath in and exhaled slowly.

The time of reckoning was here.

"Kain, bring them to the vehicle. Our little games would begin there." Tekita said.

He left the moment he finished speaking.

I didn't wait for Kain to tie me up with the rest of the humans they caught.

I followed Tekita immediately.

Habiba rose to her feet.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She limped after me and Tekita.

We got to the area the vehicle was parked at last.

"087, bring the electric chair out. Assist Kain in readying the water vat too." Tekita deadpanned.

A whirring sound came from the depths of the vehicle before it became silent.

[Orders confirmed.] 087 replied.

One wall of the vehicle shook. It shifted a little to the right before moving to an horizontal position.

The center of the wall writhed and squirmed. Finally, a metal chair took form.

The chair had circular shackles welded into it.

Kain walked into the vehicle using the horizontal wall.

He pressed something on the opposite wall and a large water vat popped out.

"087, fill the vat." Kain ordered emotionlessly.

A sprinkler appeared from the wall of the vehicle. It was directly over the vat.

I could now see why there weren't many things in the modified vehicle at first sight.

These things were hidden under 087's control.

Water dropped from the sprinkler into the vat.

My heartbeats followed every drop.

The wait for our verdict seemed to be harder than the verdict itself.
