Teaser Tuesday (4)

Teaser Time!! So last week I did not post a teaser due to a blog hop I was a part of. So this week, I will post a longer tease to read through :) Enjoy!

*********************************************

Shayhu grabbed his communicator, “Engineering, you have forty minutes to get the thrusters back online

before we head straight into a ......”

Before he could complete his demand, the ship jerked violently throwing everyone to the floor. The ship 

came to a halt. Shayhu climbed back into his chair.

“What was that?” he said.

Shumee checked his console as he sat back down in his chair. 

“A tractor beam,” he said,” something has caught hold of us and pulling us out of the asteroid belt.”

“On screen,” Shayhu said.

Two large ships on both sides of the Hablas had tractor beams locked on them. Once safely outside the 

belt the ships unlocked their tractor beams. For a moment no one moved.

“What do you think,” Yuli asked looking back at Shayhu, “friend or foe.”

Static came over the ship’s communication.

“Hablas. You have one of our people on your ship. Lower your weapons and prepare to be boarded.”

Before Shayhu could stand up, six armed beings appeared before them on the bridge. Their pale faces looked like polished stone. The smallest being easily stood two heads above Batu. The Mat’hool guards pulled out their weapons to fire them, but their weapons did not work; they seemed jammed.

“Lower your weapons, Mat’hools. We are not here to harm the Sahabeeyeen or the Hablas crew. We merely wish to reclaim the daughter of our leader.”

“How do you know who we are?” Yuli asked.

The beings looked at him. “We have been watching each and everyone of you from the moment Shayhu entered our part of the universe. We have been waiting a long time for the coming of the seekers.”

“Seekers?” Yuli asked.

“Yes, the pious seekers who would join the protected bloodlines and gather the Sahabeeyeen from the four corners of the eastern universe.”

“We meant you no offense if we have taken someone who belongs to you. Please accept our apologies,” Shayhu said extending his arm.

“Your apologies are acceptable. Where is Nusa?” dismissing the gesture.

Everyone stopped and looked at the large wingless beings.

“Nusa is a Naqabashi, how does she belong to your people?” Shumee asked suspiciously.
