Valtor

Chapter 7

“Well this is unexpected.” Laith says to Rose, brows furrowed.
Seriously, you’ve got to be kidding me. The universe has a terrible sense of humor.
We enter the atmosphere of the planet and I over hear muffled voices from the cockpit. The only words I can make out are attack and resistance. This can’t be good at all.
A blast rattles through the shuttle. I look around in panic. Camilla looks pissed and looks zoned out but I dont have time to that out right now.
I hear Valtors voice come on over the coms,”We have been made, the resistance knows about our approach. The shield will only hold a little longer. Plan B, go!”
All of the men stand and lead their women away. I’m struggling with my belt trying to untie the damn knot I made. Another hit shakes the cabin and yanks me right out of my seat and I go flying across the cabin, I try to catch my fall and a sharp pain racks through my shoulder. I cry out.
“Allura!” I hear Valtors paniced voice and feel his arms around me. Waves of the beasts anger hit me while my pain is throbbing in my shoulder. Together it is all too much. I cling to Valtor with desperation the anger lessening with contact. 
I can tell he is running at an incredible speed with how fast his feet are hitting the ground. He brings us to a pod and it looks like it is made for one person.
He sets me down and orders me to get in.
“Not without you!” I yell back at him.
“We’re both getting in.” 
I nod and get in. The pod is sitting upright in the wall so all I have to do is step up and stand in it. He comes up behind me and we stand face to face. He pushes his body into mine, laying me out flat.
The door closes over us and Valtor does his best to not suffocate me with his weight. I wrap my good arm around his shoulders and brace my injured arm against his chest. He braces himself on handles above our heads. I feel a sudden drop and know we are falling through the air in this tiny pod. I close my eyes and wait to fall to our deaths. All I hear are our breaths.
I’m not sure if seconds, minutes, or hours pass. The impact hasn’t come but the door opens and all is calm around us. I look around and the pod is floating just above the ground in its standing position. 
Without a word Valtor picks me up in a cradle and sets me against the neartest tree. It looks like we are in a thick forest of ginormous trees that reach up to the sky. It’s amazing. This forest looks like an earth forest but way bigger and taller. It looks like the beginning of autumn, if they even have seasons here.
“You’re hurt. Let me see.” He commands.
I remember I’m still mad at him for ignoring me.
I glare at him,”Why do you care?”
He looks down and then away and back at me,”I do care, please let me see.” Frustration riddles his face.
I roll my eyes and let him look. He pulls the cloak off to assess my shoulder. With no warning he lifts my shoulder and pops it back in quickly.
“Ahh, f**k! Damnit! s**t!” I curse in pain.
He cracks a smile,”I didn’t realize you had such a potty mouth.”
“f**k you! You could have warned me.” I glower at him.
He rips up his shirt and twists it around my arm and shoulder to make a sling.
“Thank you,” I say reluctantly and then add,”but still f**k you.”
“f**k me and then thank me, you’re such a good girl.” His arrogant smile beams. Then, he drops his face, “I’m sorry, you’re right.” He shakes his head still smiling like a kid with jokes.
“What now? Where are the others?” I ask.
“We have a plan in place. We are to meet at a safe house in Black Forest.” He says.
We are about two days away on foot.
“Well let’s move then.” I say sternly.
He watches me for a moment and walks over to the pod, opening a compartment door and gathers some supplies from it. He comes back over to me with a small case and opens it up to me. I’m looking at three syringes full of red, green, and purple liquids. 
“What are those?” I ask already guessing where those have to go. 
“These injections will adapt you to better suit this environment. Red will increase your strength, green will increase your abilities to heal, and purple will heighten your senses and reflexes. We were to administer these once we landed and made first camp but now we have no choice but to administer them now.”
“I don’t like sharp things.” As soon as I said it I regretted it. 
An unwarranted flash of anger came over me. “Damnit Valtor, control your beast!” I say raising my voice. 
“Well stop pissing me off then.” He retorts.
“None of this is my fault.” I feel like I’m losing it. I want to piss him off now. 
“You know what? I think I’ll go off on my own and make myself a little home in the woods and stop playing along with this plan of yours. I’m done!” I stand up and stomp off in a random direction. I know I’m throwing a tantrum like a child but I don’t care I’m too angry.
“Come back or I’ll make you.” He said oddly calm, almost making me want to listen but I’m too stubborn.
I turn with a hand on my hip,” I don’t like being told what to do.” And then I turn and trip on a stump, turning just in time to land on my rump.
He is on me in an instant pinning me to the ground. I try to free myself but I can’t. He holds a three headed gun to my thigh and shoots me. I feel cold liquid spread through me. I realize It was the injections.
The sky above me starts to spin and I see strips of colors all around me. I try to speak but the words fall away from me. I am completely disoriented but aware enough to stay awake. My body slowly losses all motor functions. 
Valtor carries me back over to the pod and lays me beside him as he loads more items into a carry bag. Once he is done he picks me up and carries me through the woods. He’s moving fast like before but this time he is holding me tightly so I don’t bounce around too much. 
After some time we stop. If I were to guess it’s probably been four or five hours. The light has faded away to darkness. My limbs are still numb except for my pinky finger, I can wiggle it. 
Valtor has laid me out on my cloak and placed me by a fire to keep me warm. He sits behind me and I can feel his eyes on me. My v neck dress leaves very little to the imagination. My breasts are pretty much hanging out and I think one of my n*****s is exposed. 
I wiggle my pinky finger more trying to feel my other fingers.
