[Flashback] The universe does not sing; it hisses

[Raminah Naya]


The last thing Raminah remembered was the bar. Her drinking buddy's face was in a drunken haze, but he looked handsome in the bar. After that, darkness fell. 



A couple of times, Raminah came to herself with a headache and a hangover. Her hands and tail were tied, her eyes were blindfolded. No one answered her questions. It was cold and scary. She was angry at herself first of all. What the hell did she go to that bar? She knew that the nagas were good prey, and she ignored the danger. Her friends didn't know where to look for her. She need to get out on her own.




The last time she came to herself, she was already in a cell that was packed with people and nagas. There were more prisoners than beds. It was cramped and cold. It was wery cold again. She and the other prisoners didn't understand what was happening. Most of them had been kidnapped just like her from different places in the Independent Space Sector. She listened to the conversations, but didn't participate in them. Learn more, tell less about yourself. Be invisible and hope that if you manage to escape, the kidnappers will not immediately notice the escape. It was difficult being invisible for a beautiful girl of an exotic race, but there were many girls like her. 




The alarm sounded like a call to action. Raminah was one of the first who jumped to the bars. The red-haired naga brought a joyful smile to her face.

He was opposite her face when he asked about the control room. Joy turned to fear. Raminah hoped that the guy knew what he was doing, but he himself needed help and could be caught.




“I don’t know,” she answered confusedly. 




A huge guy from the neighboring cell came to the rescue.


“There, around the corner,” he pointed in the direction. “Hurry up, guy, if you manage to open all the cells at once, we will not let anyone hurt you. I know where they keep the weapons. The escape will be great!”
