Fucking fuck of fucks.
They were going into space, in the belly of a ship.
It didn’t seem safe in the least.
Was there even life support down here?
That thought made another spike of anxiety shoot through her and she looked at Ka’Cit again, but he was just sitting there, seemingly unbothered, his eyes on her.
How could he be so calm?
Her nerves were shaking as hard as the metal wall behind was vibrating from the stress from the engines.
Shit.
Her thoughts flew to Lauren and Riv back in the market.
She wasn’t going to get back to them anytime soon and they were probably worried sick.
She could only hope that Ka’Cit knew what he was doing, hope and pray, and she would get back to the Sanctuary soon.
Her heart ached.
The Sanctuary was home.
Forcing herself to close her eyes, she focused on her breathing.
The rumbling and the shaking grew in intensity and if the little room wasn’t pressed between the wall and Ka’Cit, she was sure she’d have been thrown around like a rag doll.
The horrible rumbling continued for a few more moments till it suddenly petered off.
There was a sense of weightlessness and when she opened her eyes, her entire body was floating a few inches off the floor.
Whoa.
Her hand found Ka’Cit, her fingers digging into his thigh as she grabbed on to him.
But the effect lasted for only a few seconds before the gravity controls kicked in and she was planted firmly back on the floor.
She didn’t need to ask Ka’Cit what just happened. She’d watched enough sci-fi movies to know at least this one thing.
They weren’t on the ground anymore.
They were in orbit.

Nee-ya may be terrified of the strangest things, but…she wasn’t afraid of him.
Despite that he was trying to appear as non-threatening as possible, he was still worried about that.
The first time he’d met Riv’s mate, La-rehn, she’d been a bit apprehensive of him.
He guessed it was the effect of his mask. He glanced at it now.
Maybe taking it off had made the human more comfortable?
Nee-ya. He repeated her name in his head.
