Scene 094

One of two guards called out to Amy. She couldn't understand him. Her translator had fallen out and broken when she had tripped over a storage locker and smacked her head. She had cut her head. The cut was throbbing and blood was running down her cheek. Amy wiped at the blood and called down from her position on top of some cargo boxes. She had scrambled up them when one of the guards had grabbed for her. "I don't understand you. I want Dammarow Heir."

The guard called out again. Shaking her head, Amy held out the pieces of the translator and pointing toward her ear. "I don't understand you. I want Dammarow Heir or Cat."

Again, the guard called to Amy and started to climb the cargo boxes. Shaking her head, Amy mentally picked up the guard and placed him back with the other guard by the door. Both men yelped and stepped back.

"I want Dammarow Heir," Amy shouted. She forgot in her fright that she could have mentally called to him. I should never have left the ship; she thought.

A motion drew Amy attention back to the guards. Another Valdiarian had walked into the hanger. The guards saluted and pointed toward Amy. The Valdiarian turned toward Amy and called.

Again, She held out the translator pieces and pointing to her ear. "It's broke. I want Dammarow Heir." The man stepped toward Amy. She placed a mental barrier between him and herself stopping his approach. She repeated her wants again.

The Valdiarian stepped back from the barrier. The door of the hanger swung open with a bang and in strode Dam. Elation filled Amy. She jumped down from her boxes. "Dam," She called. He turned toward her. Amy ran full tilt into Dam. She hugged him as if he was her life line.

Dam wrapped his arms around Amy. It was good to know she was safe. Amy raised her head from his shoulder and for the first time Dam saw the cut on her head. Dam gave a growl causing the two guards to step back. "What happened?" he asked. A puzzled look filled Amy's face.

"I fell and broke my translator," said Amy. She held out the pieces of the small item. "I don't understand you." Dam growled and Cat's voice came from the communicator. Amy couldn't understand either of them.

"Cat, reprogram the communicator to translate Amy's language. I want her to be able to understand me," said Dam.

"I have already done so," said Cat.

"Yes, finally," said Amy. It was the first time she understood anyone since she had broken her translator. A commotion came from the door as Jac and Santi pushed past the guards.

Dam place the communicator on Amy's wrist as Santi looked at her head. Amy stood quietly. She was happy to be back with her friends.

"Are you all right?" asked Dam. There was a few moments of lag time between when Dam asked his question and when the communicator translated it.

"Yes, I'm fine," Amy said and leaned against Dam when Santi was finished looking at her head.

"No, not fine," said Santi. "We need to get you to the medical facility to close that cut before you lose any more blood."

"The port's facility is closer than the ships," said the Valdiarian, who had entered the hanger moments before Dam.

Amy reached up and laid her hand on Dam's jaw. "I'm sorry. I never should have left the ship."

Dam placed a kiss on Amy's palm, and gave her a hug. "Lead the way." Dam swept Amy up in his arms. She quickly wrapped her arms around Dam's neck. "We're going to get you fixed up and you are going to get your permanent translator," said Dam. He kissed the top of her head, relief flooding his body.

Santi stopped to pick up the pieces of the translator that fallen from Amy's hand when Dam had picked her up. The small group left the hanger.
