they stood.
    “What have you done?” he raged at them.
    “You must be Mica,” one of them tried bravado. “Vareen Nas is almost
finished with her realignment. When she wakes up, she’ll tell you herself that
she wanted this procedure.”
    “She wanted this?” Mica’s tenuous grasp on his temper was failing. “She
wanted this torture ?”
    “Yes,” the woman seemed to gather her courage at his lack of violence
toward her. “She accepted her guilt over feeling emotions and wanted to be
fixed. I gather some of those criminal emotions were centered on you.”
    This was a mistake. Mica snapped completely. Streaking around the room,
he left the occupants wounded or dead. He didn’t care which. When additional
guards rushed through the door, he took his rage out on them as well. When there
were no further threats between him and Vareen he stilled.
    Walking to her in the chair he reached a tentative hand to touch her
face. Her normally pale skin was deathly white. There wasn’t the usual touch of
peaches to her cheeks or pink to her lips. Just a shell of her body, bruised
and wasting away in the chair.
    “Var.” he couldn’t stop the tears pooling in his eyes, but with an iron will he blinked them back. “Var. Wake up.
It’s me. Mica.” The doctor had greeted him by name . Vareen must have said it for
them to know it. He put a hand into her normally glorious hair and recoiled when a large chunk came away.
“You have to wake up sweetheart. Please.”
    There was no response and Mica called to The Maxon . “I need medical assistance to my location Immediately!”
    A moment later shimmering forms appeared in the room. He didn’t recognize
the members of this medical unit, but the red shirts told him they were of Takari.
The industrial center of Titus, which also happened to be the medical hub as
well. If anyone could help Vareen, they could.
    “Do you have any idea what happened to her?” the main medical doctor
asked him. “We have only seen one other patient from Cestori and he’s cognizant
and moving around.”
    “They said something about realigning her brain. To erase emotional
responses.” Mica wished he’d paid closer attention, or left one of the Cestori
doctors awake to answer questions. The other patient must be Vathral. That
meant Nevir had found him and gotten him to The
Maxon .
    Moving back so the medical team could look Vareen over. Mica could only
stand helpless as they removed the tubes in her arms and assessed her health. A
moment later her body started convulsing and jerking in the chair.
    “She’s going into shock. We need to get her to The Maxon .” The doctor was putting devices on her temples and then
he ordered, “ Maxon , emergency
transport to medical.”
    The desire to stay and inflict as much damage as possible to this facility and it’s occupants battled with his desire to be with Vareen. The
latter won out and he ordered, “transport me as well.”
    Then he was leaving Cestori and he promised himself he would never come
back to this cursed planet, or let Vareen anywhere near it again either.

 

Chapter Nine
    “Wake up Var. You can do it for me. Open your beautiful purple eyes.”
    She was so tired and it was hard to hear the voice. It was garbled slightly like she was listening under ten feet
of water. Why would she want to wake up and who called her Var? Her name was Vareen Nas thank you very much. She
needed to sleep and you’d think that annoying male would let her. The floating
sensation was rather nice and soon her mind was drifting again.
    “Why won’t she respond?” there was frustration in the male’s voice. “It’s
been a week .”
    “She’ll wake up when she’s ready Mica. You can’t force it.”
    She’d been asleep for a week? That really wasn’t very professional.
Struggling against the lethargy she pushed herself to open her eyes. Why was it
so difficult? It felt like weights were pulling her eyelids the other
direction. Trying to put her hand
