To the rescue
Mar'i sat slumped in the small cell that she'd been locked in for...how long was it now? Several weeks? Several months? The days blurred together, and she couldn't even tell the night from the day anymore.

She was chained to a post, her arms and legs bound so that she could not fire her starbolts and break free.

Oh, what she would do to the guards if she only could....

There were some days, after the torment that she put through by her aunt and the guards, that she almost gave up hope on her brother ever coming to rescue her. But she never did. If there was anything that her mother taught her about Earth, it was that she could always rely on her heroes. Who knew, maybe her father would hear and come to rescue her.

But for right now, she was too tired. She wanted so badly to sleep...but couldn't. The guards would come in when she did. Have their way with her.

She heard a disturbance down the hall. The guards were probably fighting again. They normally did, when things got restless.

He is battered, bloody and torn. He is hurt and he is filled with shame at failing to save his mother and father.

But he will be damned if he loses his sister as well.

Alerron Yat limps down the hallway, smacking aside another guard with great force, though he's not near his full strength.Using the key card to the cells, Alerron heads to the last one at the end of the hall. He's tried the others cells, and none of them were Mar'i. If she is dead, he doesn't know what he will do.

"Mar'i. Sister, answer me, please." he calls out, unlocking the last cell door.

	That voice. It had been so long since she'd heard it. It couldn't be. It had to be another one of her aunt's tricks. Still, she can't help but call out. "Alerron?" Her voice is weak, strained. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

When Alerron sees his sister bound, rage renews his purpose. He doesn't care how badly he feels; he wants to end whoever did this to her now.

"Mar'i? X'Hal's Madness, what did they do to you?" he says, limping toward her."

He sees the chains holding her down, and focuses his eyes so that he can cut them with his own starbolts, but his powers are still drained from Blackfire's attack.

"I need a moment, sister, and I will free you and take you away from this place." he says. "Just hold on."

	"Aunt Komand'r only shows the best care to her relatives," Mar'i spat. Her face, her whole body was bruised and battered. She moved her arm as one of them became free. She'd forgotten what it was like to move it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alerron's anger is spelled out on his face. When he finds the guards responsible, they'll wish he did to them what he did to Kommand'r. "Our aunt will not be an issue any longer. I have seen to that, Mar'i." Alerron says darkly. Then he steadies himself and lifts her from the bed. "I am taking you away from this place, to safety." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mar'i threw her arms around Alerron's neck. "She's not going to hurt us anymore?" She sounded small, almost like a child. She only wished that she could back to being a child. But she couldn't. Not after what the guards did to her. What her aunt let them do to her. "And Seyla?" There was a hint of hope in her voice. "You did free her too, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alerron didn't have the heart to tell Mar'i about their mother. Not yet. It might break her completely and she was already so fragile. He put on a smile and began carrying her from the room. "Yes, Little Sister. Seyla is freed from her cell. My father came to aid us in finding you, as did many people from Earth. Blackfire will never hurt you again." Alerron vows.

	Mar'i just held onto him, nodding into her older brother's neck. "I want to leave this place. I want to leave it and never come back." After the way she'd been treated, New Tamaran was no longer home to her. Not anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)
