Beeves and Boris arrived at the princess apartments right in time for a coffee before they all had to get going for Princess Rota’s meeting with the Governors.
They got the princess to the Governors meeting and positioned themselves around the room watching over proceedings as they discussed the ruling of the Planet. The Governors had requested that Princess Rota step in as the Kings representative, she was after all next in line for the throne. She had agreed but wanted a clause put into the agreement. In the event that her father did in fact pass away, she would get a full seven days to grieve before his funeral. Then the crowning ceremony would happen seven days after that. It was all agreed upon, written out by a scribe and signed but all parties.
She made the first lot of arrangements to have the Kings advisor visit her to work out the particulars.
“I also have another request.” Said Princess Rota “I have been told that you will late
Mia had just watched the intruders ship take off with its injured. Ryder looked like a kid in a lolly shop in that cockpit. He had ensured that all the passengers were strapped in tight. I would not envy them right now. She had retrieved both of Jays guns and his vest.She had been asked to do the gorge run, since it had been missed because of the attack. She would take Mac’s place since he was on the ship that just tore out of here.She hadn’t eaten anything since Jay’s snack bar in the cupboard, as the memory came back a twinge of desire hit her core, being in that cupboard with Jay had really played with her body in a way she couldn’t explain. Food, she thought, so she headed to the mess hall. She would need something good but light if she was about to run for 3 hours. She made herself some toast and ate while thinking back over all that happened just this morning. She then grabbed a green apple and put it in her pocket.She went to he
“Mia nodded still pondering all she had learnt, “Right” She clipped her helmet on and exited the pod. She loosened up her muscles getting ready to run. She read the first meter and then was off. She could hear the pod following behind her until after the second meter but Jay must have got board of watching her run and headed off to look around. He came back a couple of times flying low over her head so she had to duck. Mia bet he found this funny. Somehow, she could almost hear him laughing, seeing his wide smile that changes his whole face. Another meter. This was the good part that she loved on this run. Jay appeared just as she started climbing up the gorge, she read the meters on top and then abseiled down, he was still with her. Coming up to the jump she accelerated and lengthened her stride. She cleared it with ease and continued running with jay on her tail. “He started to follow Mia, but after a little bit of staring at butt and the way she moved, even
“Mia I was sent to Planes S610 by Princess Rota herself to find her twin sister, her older sister, the true heir to the Ziion Throne . . .” He reached for her hands and held them between his “Mia I was sent to find you”Mia was silent for a long time, confusion on her face. her mouth opened but no words came out, she closed her mouth again, she shook her head, as if dismissing some of her thoughts.“I have a twin sister?”“Yes” Jay said gently“I am a . . . P . . Princess?”“We believe so”“How?”“Princess Rota, recently came across information her nanny had been protecting. before her passing she had hidden it in a painting the princess loved, for the princess to find. It was a letter written to her by Nanny Eslbeth. It had details about how you were swapped at birth but she only realised after the queen had passed too. The whole palace was in t
When they flew into the dock Master Alex was waiting for them.“uh-oh” said jay“Where in trouble,” said Mia“Yep” said jayMaster Alex pointed to an oil patch on the concrete and Mia landed the transit pod directly on it. He took a moment to reflect of Jays attempt at that same task, many years ago when he was new in the military. He only got one lesson, it had taken him three attempts but Alex had picked a really windy day just to take him down a peg or too. He was already a stand out student and solider. So was Mia, they would make an unstoppable force if it was allowed. They both presented them selves and stood in front of him standing tall, eyes straight ahead. The solider and the trainee. . . No, he corrected . . . the captain and the Princess!“We need to talk, follow me” Alex commanded.Mia and Jay fell in behind him “Was that you flying Mia, after one lesson?” A
Mia, started to pack all her things, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to leave tonight, she was sad to leave but it no longer scared her like it did before. She had a sister but more importantly she would be with Jay. It didn’t take long to pack. She had a day pack and a bigger duffel bag that she fit everything in, she left her things on her bed, did one more look around her small room and decided to go to the Mess Hall it was dinner time and everyone would be there.She was one of the last to get her food, she joined the back of the line that was only 2 people long. She looked around the room there was an atmosphere of victory, fun, all the trainees talking and laughing they were a lot louder than normal. Apart from Mac and Dora everyone else was fine, a couple of scrapes, but fine. She found her regular seat next to Sao and started eating absorbing every single detail.“Hey Sao, she said quietly so only she could hear, you know how you have a secret t
She was sitting on her bed when there was a knock on her door“Does a princes Mia have to open her own door too” she replied through the closed locked door, with a smile on her face“She heard a scratching sound and her door lock clicked and Jay walked in and closed the door behind him “No she doesn’t, I shall get that for her”She did not expect him to pick the lock so quick “Impressive Captain Jay”“Not as impressive as other things I can do” there was a smug look on his face, he was baiting her, she stood up wanting to be prepared if she decided to go for the bait.“and what other impressive things can you do?”He reached out and grabbed her hand and spun her so that her back was against the door, he moved to her, his body pressing into hers, the most delicious sensation clenched in Mia’s gut and warmth started to grow between her legs, her mind was only aware o
Day 4Jays alarm woke him 10 mins before 3am, he was not a morning person and he had just been woken from the most amazing dream, featuring Mia. He stumbled putting his clothes on, shoot he would wake Mia.He made himself a coffee before relieving Benny in the cockpit. The ship was set on auto pilot and the prisoners seemed to be asleep, so there really wasn’t much to do. He checked his messages. Ryder had sent him the footage of Mia saving him on the ship. Well he had plenty of time to watch it now. He opened the first file.He could see himself standing ready when all of a sudden, the pilot charged at him out of the engine room, He was wrestling with him, that explains his bruised ribs. They were getting slower as the fumes were getting to both of them, Then Mia came into view, she kicked the pilots feet out from beneath him and followed through with an elbow. Ouch, dam she hit hard. She then went to Jay, p
They packed quickly fitting everything they needed in Jays pack and got buckled into the larger transit pod. Jay started it up but the was only a woosh sound.“That’s not what is supposed to happen,” said Jay, he clicked on the ship line to the cockpit through the pod. “Bunny, this transit pod won’t start”“on my way” was bunny’s reply“She was there 2 mins later with a torch, she lifted the side panel”“Try starting it again”Jay did and it made the same woosh sound, “arh, there’s a hole in one of the hoses. Its an easy fix with the right parts, I could patch it but you might not make it to Ziion and the other pod has different sizes hoses. Jay you can’t take this Pod”“Ok, this is going to get interesting, Mia we need to use the other pod but it’s a one-seater”She blushed at the thought of them sharing the seat. T
Mia had a weird dream that night, Mia was being led by someone who was familiar but she didn’t know who. It was a young woman dressed all in white, the white woman lead her into a dome and on every surface they were moving images or footage playing. Each scene contained a certain woman as the focal point. All the different scenes all starring the same woman. Mia gasp as she took in each new scene. The woman picked up and tightly hugged a young girl who had just fallen and hurt herself, the woman solving a dispute between two boys, the woman running with all her might towards a fight, the woman laughing with a friend, the woman standing strong while under attack from an unknown threat, the woman rushing to the rescue of a teenage girl, the woman taking a shot at her enemy. There were so many to see. And each footage or scene seamed to loop. Playing over and over again. It was strange Mia couldn’t place any of these scenes but each one felt like dejvu, like she h
Once they were back in their apartments, Jay stood Mia beside their bed and he removed her dress and took her hair out. Mia could feel the anticipation coursing through her heating her core. Jay then knelt before her and removed her ankle boots and holster. He then peeled her tight black pants down so she was just in her underwear. He ran his hand up the inside of her leg. He then removed his weapons belt and suit. “Have I fully disarmed you” he asked as he kissed across her collar bone. “Almost” she said as she felt her body stirring from his touch. “You were so good tonight” he claimed her lips stealing her breath and igniting the fire she felt in her core. He broke away, running his fingers down her back kissing down her neck, she didn’t even realise that her Bra was no longer there, he took her first nipple into his mouth and a sigh escaped her lips. His hands wondered lower pulling her undies down. Once they were out of the way he picke
The Elites began the Banquet and after they were announced Mia and Rota held hands while they walked out to take their seats, Jay was announced next and he followed. There were a few whispers as people took in Mia’s dress. They all stood before their seats until Rota had declared the Banquet to begin. Jay then helped Queen Rota into her seat and then Mia, taking his seat next to Mia.The food was delicious and between courses Rota took Mia around the tables to officially introduce her to the people of Ziion. She got a lot of comments about her dress. She just smiled politely and thanked them. As the dessert was brought out, they wondered back to their table. After Rota announced Jay in his new position as Ziion’s Royal Ambassador. Everyone cheered. Rota also explained that Mia would be going on a trip with General Jay to meet all the Planets leaders and to extend our continued friendship to our allies since the crowning. With the official part of the night over, M
Day 21The next day Mia was introduced to all the Palace advisors and important people at a variety of events and functions all organised by Rota and Aunt Alice. Mia was also given two senior attendants that could help her with everything from hair and make up to who she might meet at the next event and the traditions behind the events. She found it exhausting, but it fascinated her too.Dora had prepared Mia as much as she could for her meeting with the Mercern Ring. Jay had also spent some time with Dora, talking over plans about Mercer and questioning Octave. It turned out that the girls on the other planets were on loan to other smuggling rings and that the problem was a lot bigger that they had first thought. For every one of the GPS trackers, they could see, there might be more girls that they couldn’t see.Octave was stripped of all his wealth and it was directed straight into Ziion’s Royal Ambassador’s account. That Jay
Jay and Mia had arrived back to their apartments ten minutes before the dress makers Evie and Skyla arrived with a heavy suite case between them.“Hi, come in” greeted Mia “How did you go?”“Oh, we came up with some really good ideas but I need to see how they feel on you, and if you can move in them”“Ok sure,”The girls set up, they pulled out three dresses that were partially finished. One was a deep maroon, another a deep blue and the last was black.“Wow those colours are really dark,” said MiaYes, they are suitable for a queen and they reflect your true warrior abilities. I wanted your dresses to give you a edge of danger but if they are too dark we can lighten them with chiffon layers, beading and embroidery.”“They are perfect,” said Jay “these are exactly what you need to wear before the Mercern Ring, they convey power and an edge of danger.
Hunter took a big breath, “Yeah. There was another guy that started in the same class as me but his Father was 2nd in command of the Viv military, as you can imagine he couldn’t fail, instructors spent twice as much time getting him through than anyone else. I seen him take the place of other brilliant soldiers when he was incapable. No one in the class could pass or rank up until he had. It was a complete Joke. He lorded it over everyone because of his success, he didn’t even see that he was holding us back. The brass finally got sick of pandering to him and finally let me rank up before him but they got raked over the coals and he was made commander too. We were both sent out on a mission together.” Hunter stopped to rub his hand over his face “He led his team straight into a trap, they were captured and tortured while he bargained for his freedom with classified information. It was two days before my team could get into a position to rescu
“Well Mia, this looks like this is on you” said Bunny “we all know how bad ass you are, you just need to NOT piss them off while demanding they listen to you”Mia laughed “I’m not bad ass”“Hell yes, you are,” said Bunny “we can vote on it if you don’t believe me”Mia laughed again “Your kidding me right”“Actually Mia, how you see yourself is very important, if you don’t see yourself as a queen and their equal they will strip you down with the truth you believe.” Dora said“So who says Mia is a bad ass” Bunny saidYeah they all yelled“Bad ass is carrying a solider twice your weight to safety when he told you to stay in a safe place” said Ryder”“Bad ass is taking out an assassin in the middle of the Kings funeral,” said Kat.“The way you held yourself when I grabbed your
Day 20It was just before 9am the next day and everyone had gathered for the first meeting in what used to be the Kings Apartments.“Alright,” Jay began “thank you everyone for being here. Today we need to figure out, how this team will operate and how we can get into Mercer to rescue the girls.”“I’ve given the new team, some thought. We will have people who operate in a combative role . . . trained soldiers and a non-combative role, this will cover things like advisors, the gifted and administration. I suppose we will figure out most of this on the way and a lot of you already know the tactics that I use but please look out for the people who don’t. Is there anyone else you can think of that we need on this team?”We will need a good cook, if we don’t have your Mum, Shimel and Lacy abord,” offered Bunny“Maybe someone to clean and tidy?” Suggest
“They looked shocked before one of the girls shyly took a sketch pad and started drawing, the other girl while looking over she shoulder made a couple of suggestions. They both look at each other before hesitantly turning the sketch around.The dress had the same corset type top of an evening dress but the skirt was just one layer of shear fabric over the top of pants that and an A-line skirt like a traditional dress.Jay smiled, “Hey Mia, Come have a look at this.” She handed Jay a cup of coffee while examining the dress. “Yes, Said Mia “that’s what I’m after, what other ideas can you think up?”“Um . . . can I see the weapons you normally carry and how you would normally use them, so I can design the dress around them.”“What is your name?” Jay asked“I’m Evie, and this is Skyler. I prefer to sketch and Skyler is the most amazing at making any creation come
