To My Dearest JyJy

[Annisha 0]

Dear Jylliene,

 

My name is Annisha. You may know me from the space station or perhaps you see me with Nijil. Some months ago I lost my family and home to the Great Fire. My parents sent me off the homeworld, far away from the danger. Many of my friends died. I’ve tried to keep strong for these many months, hoping for their return. I was taken far away from my home on a journey of many days. All of the boys and girls with me lost someone.

 

The ship dropped us off at Sky Harbor Aegis. This is not a Rihan space station, but one formed from enemies of our people. I did not know what he ship Captain or our caretaker were thinking. She said we would be safe. I was so scared, but stayed strong.

 

One day while out on what they call the Midway we ran into some stinky Klingons. They were angry, but aren’t they always. A fight broke out. They threw things at people. Some of it was heading our way. One person was a strange Rihan man who jumped between me and the Klingon throwing knives. As he turned to me his face got really funny. He then fell to the ground with a butter knife in his back. I couldn’t leave it in there, so I pulled it out as hard as I could. I’m not sure if doing that was the right thing to do. He screamed like a little girl, then I saw the blood. The medics came and took him and myself to the medical bay on the station.

 

You know this already, but did you know I asked a lot of people at the station if they would take me. No one said they would, not even the Rihan who was hit by the knife instead of me. He was too busy. After a time a man and woman filled out a bunch of forms to be able to take me to their home on another planet. I left with them, but they were bad people. They implanted something inside me that caused great pain. They had me and other children mining for some amber colored gem they said was very valuable. I thought I was going to die in the mines all alone.

 

Then the bad people left one of their shuttles running. I remembered everything Nijil showed me one day about how shuttles work. Their shuttle was old, but what he told me worked. I sped off and went to outer space. It was fun, until they chased me. Then I ran into you and Nijil. How did you know I would be there? Then you took me to your planet. A happy place. Your mom and dad had an old play set from when you were my age. We then left for the station again.

 

Even though the thing they put inside me was removed, I had bad dreams. Both you and Nijil held me and told me I was not alone. Nijil really watched me when he could. He teared up a lot. I asked him what was wrong but he wouldn’t say. He said I wouldn’t be alone any longer.

 

I also saw how he looked at you. He smiled a lot. I couldn’t get close enough, but I think he likes your eyes. Also he looked at your butt. That’s silly. I’ll ask him about it later. What I mean to say is he likes you a lot and he seems to like me a lot. I think you like me too, but I don’t read non-Rihans as well.

 

He showed me this ring for your finger he’s having some Bolian make. He got the metal himself he told me, something from those rocks floating around the station. The shiny thing in the middle was special too. He went on and on about it, but I didn’t understand it all. Something about the four elements.

 

He talks about you all of the time when not talking about his work. If I did not like you so much I’d tell him to stuff it. Sometimes he gets nervous talking about how he likes you. I think he wants to ask you into bondage. He’s afraid to ask you, but I’m not afraid. Will you do that thing that makes you my mom and dad? My real parents are gone, but I really want to make you two my new ones. I’ll keep asking him to ask you and not to be a dolt. In my culture studies I think my dad needs to “grow a pair.” I don’t know why growing anything would help, but if it works for humans.

 

I’ll make sure he talks about you more and I’ll drop hints as best I can. If he won’t bond with you I would.

 

Your girlfriend,

 

Annisha
