Growling she had left the last triad corner world. Looking at the world recede she was starting to think she’d never catch up with him. They were heading deeper into the territory of the seventh council when Sam’s trail ended abruptly. What in the hell was going on?
“Slave!” She shouted starting to get irritated. “Do you have anything on the life form readings? The bastard seems to have vanished.”
The male kept quiet as he started to run through several readings as fast as he could. He had to get this, and then his mistress would punish/reward he more.
“Mistress!” The tall, blonde male suddenly yelled when he saw a back tracking of the Sam creature’s energy. “According to this he has reversed direction.”
“WHAT!?” Mellos shouted as she floated across the room faster than she meant to. Smashing into the bulkhead she shook it off as she’d hardly felt anything. Pushing the male out of the way he was propelled into the opposite side of the spacecraft’s bulkhead.
Even as the male slid to the floor starting to lose consciousness he whispered, “Thank you Mistress.” Then he smiled as his head dropped like a rock to the deck.
A smile started to creep on her face as she saw where he’d gone. What was up with this Sam? He wasn’t even trying to hide his life signature. Was he that strong now, or was he just that stupid? Smiling smugly she guessed the latter, she hadn’t met many males that were very smart after all.
That imbecilic moron leader of the IP forces that had been after her for the last few solar years was the closest to a smart male she met to date. Thinking of Sam she had to admit he was quick in battle though that only proved he was good at war. Then again, he had rendered her unconscious without wrecking her ship, That took a bit more brain power than most males had.
“Slave!” She called then tsked when she saw him sprawled unconscious on the other side of the spacecraft. “Well I guess I’ll have to do it. Well, guess you got more of the pain you’d been craving.”
Adjusting the ship’s course she smiled as she heard it accelerate. With any luck she would be healed in a week or less. Smiling wider she thought of the many people she was going to take her revenge on. First though she had to find Sam and here she shuddered have him kick her ass again.
_____________________________________________
Sam had only been sitting in the forest for an hour when a red beam surrounded him. Shaking his head he had to think a moment, then he nodded yeah, it had to be Mellos again. Smirking he thought, first he couldn’t find her now she was after him again. After he kicked her ass twice you’d think she’d come at this differently.
Rising Sam was about to lift off, heading for Mellos’s ship when she appeared before him. “‘Bout damn time I found you.” She said a look of disgust on her face. “Thanks to you I am more messed up than I was before.”
Sam stopped a moment looking at her like she had lost her mind. Mellos smiled that was all she needed as she reared back smashing her fist into the side of Sam’s face. Surprisingly the blow actually knocked Sam off his feet propelling him backwards over a hundred feet.
Shaking his head Sam rubbed his cheek, damn that had actually hurt. Then he felt his anger start to climb why did it seem as if she were looking for a fight? She knew she couldn’t beat him. Then again he thought rubbing his cheek again she was inflicting pain.
Snarling his anger growing higher the more he thought about it he flew toward her at full speed. Pulling up short when she made no move to protect herself he looked at her through narrowed eyes. It appeared as if she wanted him to knock her out.
“I don’t know what you’re on about, I’m not about to hurt someone who wants pain only. You can go away if that’s what you’re here for.” Sam said turning away, starting to float away.
“WHAT!!!? How dare you, you dam goody, goody pompous ass. I’m going to beat the hell out of you!” Mellos yelled back losing her temper.
Sam was suddenly turned around as Mellos threw a punch at his face again. This time though Sam blocked it as she tried to throw another with her other fist. Backhanding he watched as she flew back into the trees.
“Consider yourself lucky I’m not mad at you.” Sam shouted after her.
“You bastard!” Sam heard her yell as she came out of the forest. “When I finish with you, you’ll wish you had knocked me out!”
Sam let out a sigh as she landed in front of him throwing a punch immediately. Catching it Sam shook his head as he backhanded her a lot harder this time. A small smile crossed her face as she flew further into the forest. It’s about time she thought as the world started to go dark.
Sam could only look at his hand, damn that actually hurt a bit. Was she starting to get tougher? Taking off he decided he better cool off on the moon no sense destroying the planet because of her or the IP.
