Surviving Against the Odds

To answer your last question, has she not told you her name yet? Thane asks me, not moving away from me nor I him.

No I say, we haven't gotten to talk to much. I move back and look at my twin tailed panther, What is your name or what do you want to be called I ask her. Kitty, you called me a pretty kitty when you saved me, you never feared me my other half. She says to me. "Kitty it is then, I say with a smile.

Thanes POV

Seeing the human, Holly smile at her Battle Tiger like that, one of the meanest Tigers I've met might I add confirms what I knew when I felt her, she's my mate. She is yours isn’t she, Kells asks me, Yeah she is not sure how a human is my mate or bonded to a Tiger, don't really care about it either, I respond back to him telepathically. She isn't a full human, I can smell it on her, Kitty knew her bonded was going to be on that planet. She asked your fathers bonds for help.2 of your dad's helped her get there. Kell says and I'm not sure which part has me more shocked The not fully human or the fact 2 of my 4 dads helped an unbounded Battle Tiger leave to find her bonded without help of any kind. Both of them could have died on that planet.

Holly I accessed the report, you killed 4 Maintoids, 1 trained commander and 3 youth with very little for weapons.

She gets a far away look in her eyes, "I wasn't going to die and have my son never know what happened and animals die because some assholes wanted to kill a human, also Kitty killed the last one" she says looking angry yet lost.

You fought a commander with a pointy stick and rock. I say to her. Seasoned fighters have lost with more.

She sways slightly in her chair, I'll show you to where you can sleep, you need it, I say to her standing. Kitty warns us and I'm moving before she hits the floor.

She hasn't slept or eaten in days, fighting, bonding and dieing has drained her Kell tells me. Out loud I say "she has been though much, Kitty if Kell didn't tell you she is my mate, if she will have me that is". I finish saying as I lay Holly in my bed, "you can both sleep in here, me and Kell will sleep on the floor" I tell Kitty we'll I get more blankets for all of us.

She slept for 2 days and so did Kitty, I'd let the both sleep more but we are almost to Earth.

Eventually they both wander out, both Human and Battle Tiger with the same grumpy looks When the communication system pings, looking over I do a double take. Message origins Earth, Humans aren't supposed to be able to detect us or have this ability yet.

Opening a channel the screen flicks to life with a very not happy human male looking back.

"Alien vessel you are not the same as the one that was here 8 days ago, one that took another one of our own. Identify yourself immediately or face the consequences" he says.

"I am Thane and you are correct I am not the one who took your female, I am however the one bringing her home", I say evenly. Shocked ripples across his face, "None of the taken women ever come back" he says, pain in his eyes. "I am Director Thomas of the United Earth Fleet, please proceed to the following coordinates" he says before the screen goes dark.

"Well that went well" Holly says behind me.

Holly's POV

I am hungry and still so tiered, it dosen't look like I'll get to eat before we land. what surprises me is we are in Canada and not just any where just north of Edmonton. We are only hours away from home. Thankfully we are in a landing bay, I don't feel like dealing with the snow and cold right now. Thane walks out infront of me and I hear the guns c**k, I move fast and I'm infront of Thane taking a protective stance with Kitty at my side.
