up right, or something,” she could feel her face flushing red and her words continued to pour out quickly. “Either way, it attacked me. It was going to kill me, dad! But then Amias showed up. He saved me!”
“What did I tell you about calling me that?” he dad asked her under his breath.
“I’m sorry, sir,” she corrected herself. “But you have to believe me, sir! He saved me!”
“Don’t be foolish!” he laughed again. “That’s just what he wanted you to think he was doing.”
“That’s foolish!” she shot back at him. He looked at her, surprised by her suddenly bold attitude and unusually outspoken way of speaking. “If he had wanted to hurt me, he could have done it well before your men showed up!”
“You had better hold your tongue, Nicole,” her dad warned her.
She didn’t listen to him, though. She just kept talking, loudly and confidently. “He’s peaceful His people are peaceful, but they’re coming here—to Earth. We have to let him go, as a sign of good faith. If we don’t, they will be forced to attack us!”
“He’s been filling her head with nonsense,” the Commander said to his men, as they all joined in a quiet chorus of laughs.
Behind her, she heard Amias shift his weight around. He reached out and placed his hand on the small of her back. “It’s okay, Nicole. They won’t believe you no matter what you say,” he said to her quietly.
Her father stepped forward, an expression of anger on his face, one so intense that she had never seen it before. He didn’t say anything, which made her even more nervous; he just reached out and grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her towards him. In a swift motion, he reached back and released his blow, smacking her square across the side of her face.
She stumbled back, raising her hand to her check where her father had just struck her. Amias reached out and pulled her back to him. She could feel that his body was becoming warm, and the temperature in the room began to rise again. “No,” she said to him quietly. “Not now.” She knew he was one the brink of changing again, and she couldn’t let him do that. If there was any hope that her father would believe that he was peaceful, he had to control his anger—now more than ever.
“I knew you didn’t have what it takes,” he father said to her harshly. “You’re too weak, Nicole. You’ll believe any sob story he tells you.”
“But it’s true,” she tried to defend Amias.
“Men,” her father addressed the Commander and his team. “Take this specimen to high security.”
The men didn’t respond verbally but jumped quickly into action. Before they could take Amias away from her, Nicole turned and looked up at him. Pressing her hand softly to his chest, she whispered, “I’m sorry.”
“I know,” he replied just as the men wrapped their strong hands around his arms and pulled him away. As they led him down the hall, he looked back at her over his shoulder. She wanted to go after them, to make sure he was all right.
“Give me one reason that I shouldn’t fire you right now,” her dad’s voice broke into her thoughts.
She turned her attention to him. “Because I’m telling the truth, sir. I really am.”
He shook his head and looked down at her with a look of disappointment. “I’ve already given you too many chances to do this job right. After this whole disaster, I’m tempted to just send you home right now.”
“Please,” she said once again resuming her submissive air. “Let me stay. I promise I can do this. I’m learning; I’m getting better. I believe you, sir. All he’s told me is lies,” she said the words as convincingly as she could. She had to make him think she believed what she was saying, that was her only chance to continue working with Amias.
“Fine,” her dad said turning to leave the room. “But Nicole?” he asked her before leaving.
“What did I tell you about calling me that?” he dad asked her under his breath.
“I’m sorry, sir,” she corrected herself. “But you have to believe me, sir! He saved me!”
