Freelance Saga 2: Quantum Interference (6 page)

“You don’t need to apologize to me for being happy that I care about you. We’re friends, right?”

Her lower lip quivered softly then she made a loud gulping noise. “OK.”

They passed the next several hours in a tender embrace. Scott learned the ways of the world anew. Scarlet began to understand how wonderful it can be to have someone in her life that treated her like a real person instead of a hideous hell-beast.

The splendid evening came to an end and they slept in each other’s embrace until morning. When the bus arrived they were ready to start their lives anew. Scott paid their way onto the bus and they settled in for the long ride. There was no way to know what life might have in store for them, but as long as they could face it together they would be happy.

It was a world of twisting shadows and barely seen creatures, the landscape of a nightmare. Scott did not care about this fact as he wandered across the jagged and torn wasteland. It was a dead world; nothing besides him truly seemed to live here. Even those barely seen creatures were little more than twisting shadows themselves. 

He did not know why, but he was drawn to a distant pin-point of light. Something about that tiny dancing radiance made it impossible for him to ignore its existence.

Time did not seem to exist in this place. It would not have mattered even if it had. The only thing that mattered was the light.

He arrived at the base of a mountain and knew that the light he sought was high above at the top. How could he reach that light?

Scott fretted and grew frustrated. He needed to reach that light. He could not say why, but he absolutely knew that he had to reach it!

He stood there for a while. Then, as he started to turn away, a softly lilting voice spoke to him in a whisper.

The voice made no sense. Scott could barely hear anything that it said. The message repeated itself several times, but each time it sounded like the speaker was using an ancient radio and there was a great deal of interference.

He did piece together one thing before he was torn away from the nightmare world he had wandered through. Scott opened his eyes and spoke those words aloud, “Starlight soldier.”

“What, master?” Scarlet mumbled softly then snuggled closer to him. They were still on the bus. The long ride had put them both into a restful and thoroughly bored state of mind. He had fallen asleep.

“Nothing, Scarlet. It’s nothing.” He kissed her on the forehead then looked out the window. It had been nothing but a weird dream anyway. 

He knew that his new life here in this place was no dream. They both faced a very real and harsh reality.

Scott casually squeezed the dragon girl’s hand and took comfort in her presence. In time there would be other girls in their group. There would be little choice if they wished to survive. For now, though, she was a beautiful rock that held him fast in the break water of an incredibly ugly sea.
