I don’t mind… but you know that the Alpha Core disapproves all kind of intimate contact between its members… and by requesting to bunk with me you defied this unwritten rule.
I know that… but I know also that the captain will write in his report to the command that he had to do this because of the lack of space… and the other Alphas on board will keep this silent because they all break this rule at some point in their lives.
You have a point there, and because of that we could say that we are safe of all inquisitive eyes, and you are right about what you said the other day… about you being the only one that can help me.
Then we have two options… either sleep either talk about what is happening with you.
Really I do not know… but let’s start with something that will relax us both a little… a drink maybe…
Stop playing with me… you know that we don’t need drinks to relax and talk free and you also know that we are on call 24/7…
They sat on the bed… talking… about them… about their lives in the Alpha Core… about the war they are fighting in…
Dreams within dreams… within dreams… within other dreams…
He told her about his dialog with the creature… what he found out about their motives… why they do what they do…
He told her about his breakdown… about the time spent in the holographic room… about what he felt… his dreams… himself… and what he felt then…
They used words… although they could have used only their minds to ‘speak’ to one another… but words put at rest their own monsters… their own fear…
They’ve fallen asleep in an embrace… they did not need anything else… they were at ease with each other and themselves…
*******
The alarm rang… and all over the ship there was only one phrase that would repeat… ‘All hands to battle stations. All Alphas to the command deck.’
They rushed to the command deck preparing to fight for their lives… or at least die taking most of the enemy with them…
Alarms were ringing all over the ship making a terrible noise.
*******
The alarm rang once again… she jumped out of her bed in a fighting position… ready to extend her mind to take hold of her enemy…
She looked around… seeing an unfamiliar room that said something to her… looking around she realized were she was… the smell of coffee from downstairs filled her nostrils… waking her up and giving her a new grip on life and reality…
Looking around the room she sees her covers on the floor…
What a dream… so intense… so real… but still a dream…
She gathered her cover from the floor and tossed it on to the bed… and than started to walk to her kitchen… the sun was shining through the windows falling on she slender body… revealing all her curves as she walked naked around her house…
She got her hot coffee and walked outside into her garden… to lie in the sun…
A perfect beginning for a perfect day… a new day in her life…
The end
