The Cimalian Princess: Clone

by AJ Marks

Part 17

Ann walked out of the restaurant trying to figure out a way she could get away from Randy for a few seconds to get a message to the nearby operatives. She casually glanced up and down the street knowing that Randy would be suspicious of anything she might do especially after the conversation they had early in the meal.  He was keeping a close eye on her and what she did.

She continued down the street towards the transportation back to the military base looking for a way to get away from Randy. Halfway there they passed a park and she spotted something which might work in her favor.  Quickly thinking it over she decided to go for it.

“I need to freshen up for a second, do you mind waiting?” Ann asked over at Randy watching his reaction as he gave it some thought.

“Sure,” he finally replied.

Ann turned away and headed to the park bathroom. She quickly headed through looking for the window, seeing that it seemed a bit too small for her to get through.  Now she had to rethink her plan as sneaking out through the window to reach her operatives now seemed unlikely. Continue reading…

Part 16

Randy waited a few moments after everyone started to leave the conference room before turning to Meia.

“I’ll meet you back at the shuttle,” he told her waiting for her reply.

“Sure thing,” Meia answered, standing and heading out of the room with the rest. Randy turned towards his father who stood waiting for the rom to empty as he walked over to him.

“Quite an interesting mission I see,” he said to him.

“Yeah, there were a few times I didn’t think we’d make it back, or that the mission would even be close to any success,” Randy told him honestly.

“Well, I’ve learned not to underestimate either of you two,” Jack replied back to him. “Speaking of Meia, she looks different with her blonde hair.” Continue reading…

Part 15

Henry made his way through the throne room thinking about what else he might do to his niece, Meia. She still had the fear which he instill in her when she was younger.  It made it easier for him to control her.  However, he also had to acknowledge something else had happened while she was in the Alliance.

The doctor stated she had been off the drug for several months, which did not surprise Henry at all. He looked up hearing the familiar footsteps of Jezic.  He saw the tall admiral entering the room dressed in the familiar fatigues.

“What’s the news admiral?” Henry asked.

“We have information that one of the ships of the Alliance was destroyed,” Jezic said.

“One out of four, not the best record I see,” Henry said. “It’s a good thing I’m in a good mood today.” Continue reading…

Part 14

Meia glanced around her cell once more. They had taken her out a few times to do something.  She wondered how long they would keep her around before finally killing her.  She had yet to figure out a way to escape.  Trapped and under her uncle’s mercy caused her a bit of despair.

The door opened again allowing a small sliver of light into the cell. She saw the dust particles floating in the ray of light.  The figure of her uncle appeared again.  Meia figure he3 came around for his dose of torment and enjoyment.  It was the only logical explanation she could come up with.

“Well, well, you’re probably wondering what I’ve got in store for you little one,” she heard him say as she backed up a bit but said nothing. “Still the talkative one.  That’s all right, you’ll be here for a bit longer, I’ve got a use for you.  I’ve had a lot of plans for you since the first day I saw you.  You have all the characteristics of the Cimal family, blonde hair, blue eyes, skillful, fast, everything.”

Meia struggled against her irrational fear to try and listen to his words. She wanted to flee from him despite the fact he seemed talkative and willing to give her the information.

“I always had a plan for you. I planned out your entire life, then you had to be tested and I should have expected it, after all my brother was what he was, an exceptional pilot as well,” he grinned.  “Bet you didn’t know that.” Continue reading…

Part 13

Yvette waited in her captain office for Meia to report in. She was told that only one person was on board the shuttle and now she wondered what happened to Victor.  They both went down to the surface of the planet.  Had they discovered something useful in their fight against the Cimalian Empire?

Before she could ponder the question anymore the door opened allowing a woman with strawberry blonde hair to enter. Yvette’s first reaction had been shock before she look a bit closer to see the blue eyes.

“You wanted to see me captain,” the woman asked, and Yvette realized she was Meia with blonde hair.

“I wanted to make sure you were all right,” Yvette said, pausing a second before asking the question on her mind. “What happened to Victor?”

“He didn’t make it,” Meia replied. Continue reading…
