|
||||
|
||||
I was walking down the hall towards alpha team's cabin, when
|
||||
suddenly a pair of hands grabbed me and pulled me into the
|
||||
washroom.
|
||||
"Mmmmphhh!"
|
||||
"Shhhhh! It's me," Adah said, her hand over my mouth. "No noise,
|
||||
okay?"
|
||||
My eyes darted back and forth. K team had gathered in here, with
|
||||
the exception Aditi and Monica.
|
||||
"Mmmphhh!" I nodded.
|
||||
Adah removed her hand. "Veya are you going? Huh?" She asked in
|
||||
broken Indian English.
|
||||
For some, it would've sounded laughable. But she sounded
|
||||
gangsta. Real gangsta.
|
||||
|
||||
Kriti pushed her aside. "Did you cancel Aditi's appointment?"
|
||||
"Yes, why?"
|
||||
"Iss virgin boy ka virginity toh mehijj lennga!" Adah said.
|
||||
"Get away from him!" Kriti hissed, "he is my baby! Mine!"
|
||||
"Hey! Hey! Calm down!" I grabbed Kriti's shoulders, "Kriti? Look at
|
||||
me."
|
||||
Her fierce eyes melted with love as she gazed into my eyes.
|
||||
"Keep your cool, okay?" I whispered.
|
||||
"Okay," She nodded.
|
||||
|
||||
"Cancel your night schedule with alpha team," Trisha said.
|
||||
"What?! Why?"
|
||||
"You're sleeping with us first," she replied.
|
||||
"And I don't get a say in it?"
|
||||
"No. You kissed Kriti. Now you have to honor our pact!" Trisha said
|
||||
as-a-matter-of-factedly.
|
||||
"I didn't-"
|
||||
Kriti put her finger on my lips.
|
||||
We stared at each other.
|
||||
"Didn't what? You didn't kiss Kriti?" Trisha asked.
|
||||
"I did! I did kiss Kriti," I said in a resigned voice.
|
||||
"Okay then! We go first, then they can have you," Trisha said.
|
||||
|
||||
"Let him leave if he wants to," Kriti said, taking a step back.
|
||||
I looked around at them.
|
||||
"I'm staying," I said softly.
|
||||
They broke into smiles.
|
||||
"Okay then! I'll inform Priyanka of the changes," Trisha said, as
|
||||
she opened the door.
|
||||
"Come here!" Kriti said, pulling me into her arms as she hugged me
|
||||
tightly.
|
||||
|
||||
"I go first!" Adah quipped.
|
||||
"Well, technically, it's me first and then you," Selena said.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"Krsnah?"
|
||||
We turned around to see Priyanka at the door.
|
||||
"You cancelled on us?" She asked, slightly irritated.
|
||||
"I didn't. They ambushed me," I replied.
|
||||
|
||||
"How dare you steal him from us?!" Priyanka growled.
|
||||
Kriti pushed me behind her with one arm. "This is my baby!"
|
||||
"And he belongs to us now!"
|
||||
"NO!" Kriti's voice rose with anger, "THIS IS MY BABY!"
|
||||
"Give him to us, or we're about to have a problem," Priyanka hissed,
|
||||
stepping inside.
|
||||
Uh oh!
|
||||
Within seconds we heard footsteps running up to us.
|
||||
Priyanka held up her hand without even turning her head.
|
||||
I peeked over Kriti's shoulder and saw Jennifer, Jessica and the rest
|
||||
of the alpha team standing outside.
|
||||
Trisha came in and stood by the door.
|
||||
This was the ultimate showdown. Everyone was tense.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"Krsnah, all you have to do is just say the word," Priyanka said.
|
||||
"NO!" Kriti hissed, turning to me, "Baby? Tell them to leave now!"
|
||||
"Let him make the choice," Priyanka said.
|
||||
"I choose for him! He is MY BABY!" Kriti said, her voice emotional.
|
||||
"Kriti?" I said softly, holding her back by the shoulders.
|
||||
|
||||
"Krsnah, say the word," Priyanka said, walking slowly, stalking us
|
||||
like a predator.
|
||||
"Please don't," I said.
|
||||
"Do you want to be here with them? Or do you want to come with
|
||||
us?" Priyanka said, her voice even more menacing.
|
||||
|
||||
"He's coming with me!"
|
||||
We turned our heads.
|
||||
Monica.
|
||||
She walked by Trisha, her voice soft and gentle, yet commanding.
|
||||
Priyanka took a step back.
|
||||
|
||||
Monica held out her hand. "Krsnah?"
|
||||
Kriti grabbed my hand. "This is MY BABY!" she shrieked.
|
||||
"He is mine now," Monica said, her eyes cold and icy.
|
||||
"You gave him to me!" Kriti cried.
|
||||
"And, I'm taking him back," Monica replied.
|
||||
Kriti losened her grip.
|
||||
|
||||
"Come here," Monica said to me.
|
||||
I stepped forward, and walked slowly up to her.
|
||||
Monica's eyes softened again. She smiled and hugged me tightly.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"We had planned a surprise for him," Priyanka said.
|
||||
"Then perhaps you would like to reschedule it," Monica replied. She
|
||||
looked around at everyone. "This is our baby. Ours. We must learn
|
||||
to share him equally amongst us."
|
||||
The others nodded while Kriti stood there, sulking.
|
||||
"Don't get so attached, that you become selfish," Monica said,
|
||||
glancing at her.
|
||||
|
||||
"When can we have him back?" Priyanka asked.
|
||||
"I'll send him to you. Whatever you do, be gentle with him," Monica
|
||||
said.
|
||||
"I know that," Priyanka said. She turned to me and asked, "Krsnah,
|
||||
have we ever been rough with you?"
|
||||
I shook my head, "No."
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"Baby?" Monica turned to me, "You may choose whom you want to
|
||||
sleep with. Do you want me or her?" She glanced at Kriti.
|
||||
"Why not both?" Priyanka said.
|
||||
Kriti's mouth dropped open. "YOU! You took my baby's innocence!"
|
||||
"He's a man now," Priyanka said with a smile.
|
||||
"HOW DARE YOU?" Kriti said angrily. She looked like she was about
|
||||
to charge.
|
||||
Monica held up her hand. "Everyone leave," she commanded.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Kriti and Monica remained the last ones with me.
|
||||
I walked up to Kriti, and she pulled me into her arms, embracing
|
||||
me as she kissed me all over my cheeks and neck, "My baby!"
|
||||
|
||||
I held Kriti's hand, "Come with me."
|
||||
I pulled her up to Monica. They stared at each other. Monica had a
|
||||
slight smile.
|
||||
"I want you to be friends," I said, "I can't handle the tension
|
||||
between you two. I love you both. Monica, I was yours first. You'll
|
||||
always be my first lady. Kriti, I'm yours now. Do you love me enough
|
||||
to be friends again?"
|
||||
"Okay," Kriti nodded.
|
||||
I turned to Monica.
|
||||
She smiled, "I came to defuse the situation." She turned to leave.
|
||||
|
||||
"Monica! Wait!" I gazed into her eyes, held her face, and kissed her
|
||||
softly. She kissed me back, tenderly.
|
||||
"Do you want to take a shower?" she asked.
|
||||
"Right now?" I asked, surprised.
|
||||
|
||||
Monica turned to Kriti, "Do you want to join us?"
|
||||
"Fine," she replied.
|
||||
|
||||
We started undressing.
|
||||
I stared at Monica's breasts. "Baby!" Kriti nudged me from behind,
|
||||
and put her hand over my eyes.
|
||||
"Let him see," Monica said, "He'll get used to it."
|
||||
"By the way, I'm still a virgin," I said, turning to Kriti, "just thought
|
||||
you should know."
|
||||
"You won't be for long," Monica said casually, walking to the shower.
|
||||
Kriti and I followed her in.
|
||||
|
||||
My soldier stood at attention. I tried to cover it up with both
|
||||
hands.
|
||||
Monica smiled, "Why are you shy?"
|
||||
"I'm sorry," I said.
|
||||
"It's okay. Don't hide it."
|
||||
|
||||
"Let me see," Kriti said, pulling my hands away.
|
||||
"Oh my goodness! Baby!" She gasped, "Can I touch it?"
|
||||
I nodded.
|
||||
She got down and grabbed my soldier gently, then kissed it.
|
||||
"What about the agreement with K team?" I asked.
|
||||
"Don't tell them," Kriti said, licking my soldier.
|
||||
|
||||
"I assume you've breastfed him too?" Monica asked.
|
||||
Kriti nodded.
|
||||
"That's my fault," I said, "she told me you were supposed to do it
|
||||
first but I couldn't hold myself back."
|
||||
"You don't have to stand up for her," Monica smiled, "It's okay now."
|
||||
I leaned over and kissed her softly. She kissed me back, more
|
||||
passionately, running her fingers through my hair.
|
||||
|
||||
"We should find a more comfortable place to do this," I suggested.
|
||||
"Do you want to breastfeed or make love?" Monica asked.
|
||||
"I guess both?"
|
||||
"I'll take you to my cabin and feed you, then she'll come and get
|
||||
you, okay?"
|
||||
I nodded.
|
||||
Monica turned to Kriti, "I'd like some privacy with him please."
|
||||
"Alright," she replied.
|
||||
|
||||
We rinsed off quickly and dried ourselves, then slid into the hallway.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Monica's cabin was beautiful and comfy. She'd put up some
|
||||
wallpapers and added some flower pots for aesthetic.
|
||||
The dim yellow lights almost gave it a traditional vibe.
|
||||
"I like your cabin," I said.
|
||||
"Thank you," she smiled, "You're welcome here anytime." She
|
||||
reached into the refrigerator and pulled out a bowl of strawberries.
|
||||
She picked one and put in her mouth, then handed me the bowl.
|
||||
"No thanks," I said, "I'm not hungry."
|
||||
"Hold it for me," she smiled.
|
||||
"Oh! Okay!"
|
||||
|
||||
She opened the blinds and propped up the pillows on her pod.
|
||||
Then she settled down on one side. "Get in," she said.
|
||||
I climbed over her and sat next to her.
|
||||
Monica adjusted the pillows behind my back. "Are you comfortable?"
|
||||
she asked.
|
||||
"Mmhmm!" I nodded.
|
||||
"Okay!"
|
||||
|
||||
I picked a strawberry and asked, "Can I feed you?"
|
||||
"Of course!" she smiled.
|
||||
I put it in her mouth and she bit into it.
|
||||
Then I put the remaining piece in my mouth.
|
||||
Monica laughed, "Who taught you that?"
|
||||
"Nobody," I grinned.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I leaned into Monica's shoulder and rested my head there.
|
||||
She opened her robe, then put a pillow on her laps.
|
||||
Here we go!
|
||||
"Would you like to lay your head on my laps?" she asked softly.
|
||||
"Mmhmm!"
|
||||
|
||||
She ran her fingers through my hair.
|
||||
I caressed her chest gently, and she leaned forward. I latched on
|
||||
and sucked quietly. Then I realized something.
|
||||
"The milk!" I exclaimed, "It has a strawberry flavor!"
|
||||
She laughed.
|
||||
"How did you do that?!"
|
||||
She shrugged, smiling, "Do you like it?"
|
||||
"Mmhmm!"
|
||||
"Well, Kriti broke the pact, so I had to do something different," she
|
||||
smiled.
|
||||
"Can Kriti do this too?" I asked.
|
||||
She laughed, "Are you going to ask her for strawberry milk?"
|
||||
"Oh no! I was just curious."
|
||||
"She can. But the others can't. They can only produce regular
|
||||
breastmilk," she replied.
|
||||
|
||||
I closed my eyes while I suckled.
|
||||
Monica ran her fingers across my thighs. "Baby? Are you sleepy?"
|
||||
she asked.
|
||||
"Not yet. Are you?"
|
||||
She smiled, "No."
|
||||
She opened my robe and caressed my stomach, running her fingers
|
||||
down to my soldier.
|
||||
Her hand rested there.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There was a knock on the door.
|
||||
Monica covered me up as it opened.
|
||||
It was Kriti.
|
||||
"Oh! Sorry! I thought you might have fallen asleep," she said. "I'm
|
||||
going to turn in for the night. Will you drop him off whe you're
|
||||
done?"
|
||||
"I will," Monica replied.
|
||||
Kriti went back out.
|
||||
|
||||
"She's a bit possessive, isn't she?" I asked.
|
||||
Monica smiled, "We both are."
|
||||
"I haven't seen you trying to keep others away from me."
|
||||
"That's because I've learned to control my emotions. She's got that
|
||||
hot young blood in her," Monica said thoughtfully.
|
||||
"Do you grow old?" I asked.
|
||||
"No. But I'm older than her."
|
||||
"Oh."
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I fell asleep in Monica's laps.
|
||||
And I woke up in Kriti's arms.
|
||||
I rubbed my eyes, and Kriti stirred.
|
||||
"How did I get here?" I mumbled.
|
||||
"Hi baby!" she ran her fingers through my hair. "Monica carried you
|
||||
here after you fell asleep."
|
||||
"Carried me?!" I gasped, "Why didn't she just wake me up?"
|
||||
"Because you're my baby!" she giggled, pulling my head into her
|
||||
chest.
|
||||
I kissed her skin softly. Kriti moaned.
|
||||
I looked up and licked her chin.
|
||||
She giggled, "Baby! What are you doing?"
|
||||
|
||||
There was a knock on the door.
|
||||
"Who is it?" Kriti asked.
|
||||
"It's me, Aditi. Is Krsnah with you?"
|
||||
"Ugh!" Kriti rolled her eyes. "Just a minute!" Kriti called out, closing
|
||||
her robe as she got up.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Aditi strode in looking angry. "Can I speak to you in private?" She
|
||||
asked, glaring at me.
|
||||
"No!" I said, pulling a pillow over my head.
|
||||
"Krsnah?"
|
||||
"Krsnah is sleeping!" I said.
|
||||
"KRSNAH!"
|
||||
Aditi pulled the pillow away.
|
||||
|
||||
"Baby? Talk to her please," Kriti said.
|
||||
"No!"
|
||||
"What is it?" Kriti said to Aditi, "I'll talk to him."
|
||||
"He cancelled our appointment, and he sent Priyanka to tell me at
|
||||
the last minute!" Aditi said, angrily.
|
||||
"Krsnaaah? Is that true?" Kriti asked.
|
||||
"No!" I looked up and said, "Aditi hates me!"
|
||||
"What?!" They both asked in unison.
|
||||
"Yes!" I piped on, "Aditi hates me and she wants to kill me!"
|
||||
|
||||
"Baby!" Kriti sighed, "Don't be ridiculous!"
|
||||
"I'm not ridiculous!" I quipped, "Look at her! Look at her face! Look
|
||||
at her eyebrows! She came in here looking for revenge and now
|
||||
she wants to kill me!"
|
||||
Kriti burst out laughing. "I'm going to the shower. You deal with
|
||||
him," she said, grabbing her towel.
|
||||
|
||||
"Krsnah, I'm not playing games with you. I want you to go to my
|
||||
cabin right now!" Aditi commanded.
|
||||
"Alright, alright!" I grumbled, getting up.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Aditi locked the door.
|
||||
"Sit!" she commanded. "Have you had sex with anyone yet?"
|
||||
"What?! No! That's none of your business!"
|
||||
She opened her drawer and pulled out a cup. "Your sample. Right
|
||||
now!"
|
||||
"You can't be serious!"
|
||||
"I am serious!" Aditi hissed, "You keep evading me and I can't keep
|
||||
tabs on you all the time! So give me your sample, then you can do
|
||||
whatever you like."
|
||||
I stared at her. "You're very unromantic, you know that?"
|
||||
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"
|
||||
"Well I am not feeling quite romantic this morning, and you, aren't
|
||||
helping my mood! There you have it!" I said, folding my arms.
|
||||
"You're not leaving this cabin, until you've given me your sample,"
|
||||
she said, sitting down.
|
||||
"Fine!"
|
||||
|
||||
We stared at each other.
|
||||
I didn't blink. She didn't blink.
|
||||
It was a staredown.
|
||||
I stuck out my tongue.
|
||||
She broke into a smile, shaking her head.
|
||||
"I win!" I said.
|
||||
She gazed into my eyes.
|
||||
I leaned forward and whispered, "I'm still a virgin. If you want my
|
||||
sample, you'll have to admit that you love me, then make love to
|
||||
me."
|
||||
Aditi shook her head. "You're unbelievable!"
|
||||
"Are you going to take my virginity?" I asked.
|
||||
"Why don't you ask the others to do that, huh? You already spend
|
||||
so much time with them," she said.
|
||||
"Ooooh! Someone's jealous!" I grinned.
|
||||
"I'm not jealous!"
|
||||
"Yes you are!"
|
||||
"No I'm not!" she said defensively.
|
||||
"It's okay if you are. Admit it! Embrace who you are!"
|
||||
She couldn't help but smile. "Are you consciously trying to make me
|
||||
jealous?" she asked.
|
||||
"Nope! I'm just trying to help you bring out your feelings. Don't hide
|
||||
them. Stop trying to cover them up!"
|
||||
"I'm not jealous. Kriti's jealous. But I'm not like her," Aditi said.
|
||||
I laughed. "Well, this is a golden opportunity for you. You make love
|
||||
to me, you take my virginity, you get my sample. You don't -," I
|
||||
shrugged, "Someone else will. And they will get my sample."
|
||||
|
||||
"You do realize that K team made a pact when we found you,
|
||||
right?" Aditi asked.
|
||||
"Yeah," I nodded, "I know about that."
|
||||
"Can you promise me you'll keep yourself intact until my turn?" she
|
||||
asked.
|
||||
"Nope! But I can promise you that the next woman who lays her
|
||||
hands on me will get my sample!"
|
||||
"Then I'll just ask her to give it to me."
|
||||
I laughed and shook my head. "Aditi, can you point out one woman
|
||||
out there, who would take my virginity, and not keep it a secret if
|
||||
I asked her to?"
|
||||
"Why are you being so difficult with me?"
|
||||
"Because you wouldn't even say you loved me back Aditi. You keep
|
||||
your feelings and emotions in a box. But your eyes - they give you
|
||||
away Aditi," I said softly, "You look at me long enough, and I can
|
||||
feel the love in your eyes, and the pain. You're going to have to let
|
||||
me in Aditi. No secrets. No barriers. No restraints. You're going to
|
||||
start talking."
|
||||
"I've got nothing to say to you."
|
||||
"Then I guess we're done here," I said, leaning back in the chair,
|
||||
arms folded.
|
||||
|
||||
We sat in silence.
|
||||
|
||||
Then there was a knock on the door.
|
||||
I stood up to leave.
|
||||
Kriti. "Are you done with him?" she asked.
|
||||
"Can I speak to you for a second?" Aditi asked.
|
||||
"Kriti, can you not speak to her?" I asked.
|
||||
Kriti looked at Aditi, then at me. "What's going on?" she asked.
|
||||
"Kriti, if you love me, don't speak to her!"
|
||||
"Baby-"
|
||||
"Come on!" I grabbed her hand, "Let's just go."
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"What's going on?" Kriti asked.
|
||||
"Nothing."
|
||||
Kriti stopped and held my face. "Baby, no secrets from me, okay?"
|
||||
"Let's discuss it over breakfast, shall we?" I asked.
|
||||
"Okay," she agreed.
|
||||
|
||||
"Hold on! I think I forgot something! Go to your cabin, and I'll catch
|
||||
up in a minute, okay?" I turned and raced down the hallway.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"Aditi?"
|
||||
"Yes?"
|
||||
I closed the door behind me and locked it.
|
||||
"Forgot something?" she asked.
|
||||
"Yes," I said, approaching her. "Stand up, and close your eyes."
|
||||
"What?"
|
||||
"Hurry up! We've got no time!" I hissed.
|
||||
"Krsnah-"
|
||||
"Shhh! Close your eyes!"
|
||||
Aditi closed her eyes.
|
||||
"Okay!" I held her face gently. "Aditi? I'm going to kiss you now,
|
||||
okay? Now if you don't want to kiss me, push me away."
|
||||
She opened her eyes, but her hands stayed down.
|
||||
I kissed her softly.
|
||||
|
||||
"You didn't push me away," I whispered.
|
||||
She stared at me.
|
||||
"Shall we try again?" I whispered.
|
||||
I kissed her again. She kissed me back, more passionately, her
|
||||
hands gently caressed my back.
|
||||
|
||||
"Okay, NOW will you admit that you love me?" I asked.
|
||||
We gazed into each others eyes. Aditi smiled. But she didn't say it.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I took a shower.
|
||||
Then Kriti and I had breakfast.
|
||||
"Tell me everything you know about Aditi," I said.
|
||||
"Something happened?" she inquired.
|
||||
"No. It's just that she acts quite reserved around me. Y'know, like
|
||||
the others are quite open and friendly around me. But she's not
|
||||
like them, know what I mean?"
|
||||
|
||||
"Aditi was once in a relationship with a human," Kriti began, "She
|
||||
saved his life, and they fell in love with each other. She got
|
||||
pregnant with his child and gave birth to a son. Little did she know
|
||||
that he was a married man. When his wife found out, she killed
|
||||
him and kidnapped the child. Rumor has it that the wife raped the
|
||||
child and sold him off to the cannibals."
|
||||
"That's horrible!" I said, shocked. "What happened to the man's
|
||||
wife?"
|
||||
"She disappeared. She knew Aditi would hunt her down. She
|
||||
boarded a spaceship and went to hide on another planet."
|
||||
"Do you know which planet?" I asked.
|
||||
Kriti shook her head. "No one knows," she said sadly.
|
||||
|
||||
"So this is why Aditi acts strange around me! Because I'm human!"
|
||||
"Perhaps," Kriti replied, "I don't think she can fully trust another
|
||||
human again."
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Mars was smaller than planet earth.
|
||||
It had two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
|
||||
Mars was once a cold cold planet. Cold like the Antarctica. But
|
||||
without the ice.
|
||||
But once the humans landed, they established global warming,
|
||||
just like everywhere else. The nuclear bombs exploded by the US,
|
||||
Russia and China during the invasion war had changed the surface
|
||||
of the planet.
|
||||
Mars was famous for it's dust storms. Combined with the radiation
|
||||
from the nuclear fallout, it was highly toxic and dangerous.
|
||||
It would take months for a human body to fully adapt to living on
|
||||
Mars. Combine that with the daily travel and exploration, it
|
||||
wouldn't be an easy feat.
|
||||
|
||||
Only one person held the power to approve my first footsteps on
|
||||
Mars: Aditi.
|
||||
If she deemed me physically fit and healthy, we were good to go.
|
||||
If she held any reservations, nobody on the spaceship would let
|
||||
me get out. Not even Kriti, or Monica, or Priyanka, or Trisha.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
"Aditi!" I ran up to her after the presentation. "If I give you my
|
||||
sample, will you fast-track my approval for the Mars-landing?"
|
||||
"Krsnah, are you trying to bribe me?" Aditi laughed, shaking her
|
||||
head.
|
||||
"Maybe?"
|
||||
"Then my answer is no," she smiled.
|
||||
"What about my virginity? I'll give you my virginity plus my sample!"
|
||||
I offered.
|
||||
"No."
|
||||
"Do you like kinky sex? I'll give you kinky sex!"
|
||||
Aditi stopped and turned to me, "Why are you always talking about
|
||||
sex?"
|
||||
"I'm sorry," I said softly, "It's the only thing I've got that you could
|
||||
want."
|
||||
"No."
|
||||
"What about marriage? I'll marry you!" I said.
|
||||
"Krsnah!"
|
||||
"Sorry."
|
||||
"If you want to land on Mars, you'll have to clear the medical tests.
|
||||
There's no other way. Understood?"
|
||||
I nodded.

This is the hard life, Provich thought as he walked through his ancient forest.
|
||||
The real thing. We are out here in the wilderness with the lyncoor cats and the
|
||||
trees, five million acres of pristine woodland protected by the Provich estate.
|
||||
|
||||
He owned it, down to the last square inch. His name was in the books, he had
|
||||
purchased it for two krabas an acre from the Interplanetary Frontier Development
|
||||
Control Institute. It was government of the new land, for the billionaires, by
|
||||
the billionaires. Provich’s net worth was just short of a thousand million, but
|
||||
he had nestled his way into the billionaire club nonetheless. The land was
|
||||
supposedly untouched by human hands, but Provich’s agents had found evidence
|
||||
that the Malic peoples had inhabited its mountainous terrain in the Precorruo
|
||||
Age, and he felt confident his agents were right.
|
||||
|
||||
Provich had bought the land without ever seeing it, and as soon as he could get
|
||||
away from his advisers’ barrage of emails regarding his numerous lawsuits, his
|
||||
latest stock investments, and his mental health exams, he got together a small
|
||||
group of himself and three other people - a hired Neomalic guide called Puma
|
||||
and two nature nerds, Sean and Janet - to accompany him into the wilds as the
|
||||
first modern humans to set foot on that land.
|
||||
|
||||
Provich met with his group six months before the trip in his “office,” a one
|
||||
thousand square foot room with broad windows overlooking the city, expensive
|
||||
paintings covering the walls, and a broad circle of easy chairs encircling a
|
||||
hologram projector. When Sean and Janet arrived with their nose piercings and
|
||||
their expensive fur clothes, Provich introduced Puma (who he had met for the
|
||||
first time minutes before) as an very admirable person, someone Provich
|
||||
respected “really very deeply,” and proceeded to summarize the Neomalic’s life
|
||||
for the newcomers in a proud way, as if it were his own.
|
||||
|
||||
They had set out almost a week ago. A helicopter had flown them into an IFDCI
|
||||
camp, they had been pointed in the direction of the “Provich Purchase,” as the
|
||||
beady-eyed IFDCI official called it, and they had left. Now, Provich felt, they
|
||||
were out in the wilderness alone, without the comfort and safety of modern
|
||||
society. Of course they had radio and GPS for emergencies, but he didn't like
|
||||
to think of that. He liked to pretend they were all alone, removed from
|
||||
humanity, surviving against the odds.
|
||||
|
||||
Provich wanted to find gold and silver. He knew museums would pay top dollar for
|
||||
Malic artifacts, and he hoped to use the money to pay off some debt from the
|
||||
lunar project. Provich laughed out loud. He hoped this wouldn't turn out like
|
||||
the lunar project did. But he hadn’t been on the moon in person. Now, he felt he
|
||||
could stop things if they started going wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁≁
|
||||
|
||||
On their sixth day of traveling, they reached the remains of an old road. To
|
||||
Provich, it was hardly distinguishable from the forest around it; but there were
|
||||
banks on either side, and above the banks, in two perfect rows, were lines of
|
||||
stately sugar maples, centuries old. He didn’t notice the road at first, and
|
||||
wouldn’t have seen it if Puma had not pointed out the banks. Then, after some
|
||||
puzzled staring, everything snapped into place in one moment, and Provich could
|
||||
see the lines of maples. He thought of it as his mind canceling out all the
|
||||
trees that grew in the road, and imagining the land as it had been in the
|
||||
Precorruo Age. Once he saw the road, he could follow it easily.
|
||||
|
||||
The way was not straight. It wound through the hilly landscape like a tangled
|
||||
ball of yarn, avoiding steep uphill slopes while trying to reach the mountains
|
||||
all the time. Every now and then the wall of maples would break on one side, and
|
||||
they would find an old stone foundation and sometimes a dry well, but, to
|
||||
Provich’s disappointment, nothing of value. Sean and Janet, however, didn't seem
|
||||
to care. They excitedly took photographs of everything they came across, tapping
|
||||
away at their cameras. “As if these piles of rock matter,” grumbled Provich to
|
||||
himself. “I haven't seen a single valuable thing since we left the IFDCI camp.”
|
||||
|
||||
But he stayed on the road, hoping it would eventually bring them to something
|
||||
worth his time. Half the time he marveled at the noise of the birds and the
|
||||
greens, blues, and browns that he now owned, half the time he excitedly
|
||||
anticipated the money he would receive upon returning with Malic gold.
