Taken by the Galaxy's Villain

Chapter 2

The next five years Ophelia was the only one Adrik would smile at. She never wanted to leave his side as much as her parents hated it.

"Ophelia where are you going?" Her mother said as she was about to head out the door.

"I told Adrik we would hang out for an hour." Her mother shut the door on her.

"No, you are not going." She grabbed Ophelia's arm and pulled her toward the one room she only went in when her parents had fancy company over. They was someone sitting there with her father. "Ophelia this is Miss Firefly. She will be taking you to the planet Direlili."

"You're sending me away to the boot camp planet?" Ophelia started to panic. She couldn't leave Adrik alone.

"It is a proper rehabilitation program. You are not proper enough and need it." Her mother scolded.

"Why can't you let me be who I am and not you?!" She screamed and tried to run but high claws grabbed her shoulders. 

"She is very difficult. I can see that now. Willard please take this improper lady to the craft and lock her in. I have some last things I need to go over."

Willard's claws dug deeper into Ophelia's shoulders as he moved her out of the room towards the outside. 

"Ophelia!" She heard Adrik call her. She turned to him.

"They are sending me to Direlili!" She screamed as Willard pushed her into the craft. Panic started more as she was locked into a cell. She screamed and cried. "Let me out! You can't do this to me!"

No one was going to save her. She curled into herself and waited to be let out on the next planet that she was afraid of.

"We are here." The Miss Firefly said after a long trip across the Galaxy. "Willard, please help this lady to her dorm." Willard's claws dug into her flesh as he pulled her out of the cell.

She was terrified when she saw all the girls that walked around in proper clothes and moving in a proper way. The one she had never learned. Hell was on this planet for her. 

Willard took her to the dorm that was a long building with beds that were set side by side with a fancy array of items that made the girls look like they still had a proper life with others around them. With super nice wardrobes, screens that separated the beds. It was a fancy boot camp. Willard pushed her towards an empty bed area. 

"This is your bedroom until you can be a lady. Your parents are paying for this and you do not want to waste their money and your time by not learning how to be a lady." Miss Firefly said. Willard let go of Ophelia and she fell to the floor. This wasn't happening to her. "Get up!" She screamed. When she didn't she snapped her fingers and the claws grabbed her to pull her up. "My office, she needs to learn."

They were in Miss Firefly's office. The whole walk there Ophelia saw the other girls stare and point, but when Firefly looked at them they changed and acted like they were not aware of what was going on.

"Miss Verbeck, you need to understand that this place is here to help you. If you can not listen to instructions then you can not be a proper lady in our galaxy. Being proper is the highest form any being can be and you are choosing to throw that away. No man in his right proper mind would want you as their lady." Ophelia thought of Adrik. He wanted to be around her. He didn't care that she was proper, but he also didn't look at her they way he did the other girls. They were best friends and having him in her life was all she needed. Being married to someone wasn't what she wanted anyway. She liked being free to do as she pleased. "Miss Verbeck!" A stick slammed onto the desk pulling her out of her thoughts of Adrik. "I said stand up. Your parents may have never hit you, but here I find it very useful for getting girls to act the right way." Ophelia stood up and Firefly hit her on her rear hard, but she didn't stop on just one. Ophelia felt that she was getting her anger out on her.

The next few hours Ophelia could not sit or lay on her back. Ophelia was not going to break.
