Like water rippling down a set of small rocks, her skin started to shed off. Lightly at first, dripping in small pools of silver/gray on the floor of the docking bay. Near by she heard the shouts of someone above or ahead, she wasn't sure. She could feel her mind slipping.
"Alpha, Beta, Proxie." she said it softly to her self, muttering different words between them, but the same three words kept coming up. She hoped, beyond hope, that some one would realize it was a distress code, like an sos; only it was one that diplomates used in the event of an extreame emergency. It gave the person authorization to kill her.
She looked around, faces all swiming. The infection was getting worse, and the feeling of decay linged on her breath,and skin. Was this how she was going to die. A ransome for some fools that wanted a free ride in life? She shivered, and shuttered.
"HEEEre! YoUUUU tAAAAke hERRRRR!" the strange frog told the Jartarian behind him, and forcefully pushed her at him. Then quick as a wink the frog hopped forward and made for the voice she had heard just seconds before.
She was buring up, and soaking wet. Gritting her teeth she tried to stand, tripped and fell forward to the groud. She looked up at her captive. If there was one thing Que was not it was a quitter. But with no weapons, no way of defending her self, she was useless to stop them from taking her. So for the first time in her life, she begged. She, Que Noctura, cousin to the great Rico Mimpowo; a woman who had stopped wars, and attacks by her simple words, was now at the mercy of a group of kidnappers, and possible killers.
Trying despreatly to restrain her tears she looked up at the Jartarian and said softly, "I don't know who you are, or why you're working for them. But I'm begging you, as one soul to another. Please spare me the pain that they will bring upon me in moments. That frog, he's infected me, and my body will not hold up for to long against infections. Please, end it now. Kill me. That way I won't have any more pain to deal with. Please."
