Death toll

Chapter 2

Mia glared at the alarm clock,and she turned it off as the smell of bacon coming from downstairs had her fully awake. She looked at her phone s**t she was a bit late getting up this morning “ so much for being on time”.she took a quick shower, and changed her clothes she put on a pair of black jeans and a tank top and her old converse. When she was done she headed towards the delicious aroma coming from the bar’s kitchen.

As she entered the bar she noticed Scarlet was already drinking coffee as she sat next to her . She did not get a good enough look at her last night, but now she had noticed that she was a valker. Valkers were apex demon warrior race, mia found her attractive with her dark red skin, long black hair, her eyes were a deep blue. Scarlet grumbled your late !!

Now on when I say be here early I mean it she snapped. Hurry up and eat or I’m going to leave with out you . Mia ate her meal and kissed her aunt goodbye, and walked outside towards scarlets ship . It was a massive, with a slick paint job with a reaper on the sides.

She entered the ship her mouth drops in awe she thought outside of the ship was impressive but the inside was even more so. She walked towards Scarlet who’s examining some armor. Here scarlet huffs as she hands Mia a set of armor that was just a vest and tactical looking clothes . Is the really necessary she asks?

Yes now put it on and come see me when you are ready so I can fit you with a few fire arms . Mia does as she is told thinking to herself of what had she gotten herself into . Surprisingly the vest and the clothes scarlet gave her fit . She looked at herself in the mirror she smiled for the first time in a while she looked like a baddie. Mia finished getting dressed and went towards scarlet who was looking through rifles.

Scarlet, looked over at Mia she for a second she just started. She had no clue that she was so stunning. She regained her composure, Have you ever fired a gun before she asked? No Mia replied, well before we leave we are going to fix that because I do not want you shooting your foot off human, she smirks. Scarlet grabs a few fire arms and heads towards her makeshift shooting range, and she hands Mia a handgun and a laser rifle.

She shows her how to load her weapons, and she leads her towards the targets. All you have to do is aim and pull the trigger she instructs. Also she reaches over Mia this switch on the side is the safety it is to be on when you are not shooting, and it helps to have a good stance as well . She places her hands on Mia’s waist and guides her right in front of her. Mia was not able to focus while scarlet held her. She felt her skin was and fire. Scarlet explained that this will help her from fall on her as when the gun kicks back.

Scarlet lays a hand over Ok now try and hit the targets scarlet whisper’s softly in Mia’s ear. Pop ! Pop! The hand gun goes off as Mia pulls the trigger good now try shooting with the rifle . Scarlet holds Mia’s waist to ground her “ zap, zap, Mia hits the targets with accuracy. You are a natural scarlet comments. Scarlet looks down at her and she lets Mia go as she realizes that she is still holding her from behind.

Mia notices how soft but yet strong scarlet feels losing herself in her arms for a moment.Scarlets hands lingers bit longer before she gained regains her focus, clearing her throat she walk’s towards to the cockpit and starts the old girl up. The ship roars to life , scarlet puts their destination into the computer as they take off towards planet Dax .

She only knew a little about the planet it was a world with vast jungle and swamps in other words hell . She was glad to have something to focus on because she was having a hard time getting the beautiful woman out of her mind. Mia decided to explore the massive ship to ease her curiosity and to have a moment to think about what just happened. She was confused and little afraid of what was about to happen when she agreed to the job , and how scarlet held her she felt soft and warm for a slick muscular alien.

After they reached space, Scarlet put the ship into hyper speed and turn on auto pilot. she leaned back and to took a nap. Mia could not believe how massive Scarlets ship was, and for an alien who thought humans were soft she had so many retro things like cds. Mia laughed because she has not, Seen a cd in like forever and scarlet had a vast collection from classic jazz to Backstreet Boys .

She found a cd that said scarlets jams and put it in to the old stereo and pressed played it was all 1990’s songs she could not help but dance along to the music. Scarlet woke up to music blaring. As she walked into the common area of her ship to see what the racket was about.she stopped stride as stared at the hum swaying her hips side to side. Grabs her hips and starts saying with her. Please turn the music down some of us are try to sleep beautiful Mia jumped scared not knowing scarlet was behind her don’t you know it’s rude to scare people half to death?!!

Yes,But you looked so cute for me not to scarlet replied. Out of nowhere Mia’s stomach growls , scarlet cannot believe how loud this tinny human can make so much ruckus. She shakes her head and walks towards the kitchen and starts to make simple meal so she can go back to her pilots chair. She made a couple of sandwiches and left some for Mia and took her with her to the cockpit smiling.

They still had time before they arrived to their destination. Scarlet was starting at the computer screen trying to come up if a quick but effective plan. She did not want to waste time once they landed. After some time she finally had a plan A and a back up plan just in case .

It was another couple of hours before they reached Dax’s orbit so she cleaned her pilots seat up and took her dishes to the sink, and then she went to her quarters to get freshened up. When she was done scarlet started to look for Mia, she was asleep on the couch. Scarlet smiled and took the blanket from the chair and put it over Mia. Scarlet then went back to her chair, she was praying that everything works out as she planned because that last thing she wants is for her rookie of a partner to become a casualty.

Scarlet smiled must have passed out for a spell because she was awakened to the computer chirping. She opened her eyes and read the notifications that popped up on her screen. A sinister grin formed on her face finally it was time to show her enemies why she is known as the reaper. She put the ships cloaking device on and she started to descend in to the planets atmosphere.
