Right and Wrong By KaySky

Part One

Kaylee,

How are you? Your daddy told me you went to work on a ship. I am so proud of you. I always knew you would be the one out of all us girls that would leave home and find a new path in life. I am a bit jealous actually. When I left the tiny backwater planet we both called home I wish I would have had something planned out.

I am writing to ask you for a favor. Kaylee, you have always been a friend…a real, true friend. I could always count on you for anything. You never judged me or spread my secrets around town. You are such a good, caring soul, which is why I don’t even want to ask, but as selfish as I think asking this favor is, I am going to do so anyways. By no means whatsoever should you feel obligated to say yes. Please, please say no if you must. People make mistakes…big mistakes. I know what I did was wrong…legally, but as far as morally…I like to think it was right. Remember Vincent Aarons? That summer when we were fourteen… almost every minute the three of us could be found hanging out in the barn. He is the mistake. I can’t really say what happened…not in a letter.

So here comes the favor… I am on the planet, Calentuk. If you can get your captain to pick me up and take me anywhere… providing anywhere is far from here, you would be doing me an immense favor. If you decide to ask this of him, let him know the truth. By him coming here to help me he might be putting his ship and crew in danger. What I did was wrong and it has put a mark on my head… I am afraid I cannot disclose anymore details.

If you can come, I will see you. Find me in the building the locals call “Annabellas”. If you cannot come, I understand. I will not think anything ill of you.

Love, Krestanya Arabella Aarons

Kaylee didn’t know what to think. She just sat in her bed starring at Mal as he read the letter.

“We ain’t too far from Calentuk.” It was sometime very, very late in the evening, or very, very early in the morning. Mal sometimes heard the sound of her snoring throughout the night, but when he heard her crying, he rushed to comfort her. He figured Simon was to blame. Now that the two had started dating and things seemed to be going well, he thought it was only a matter of time before the doc would say something stupid.

Mal wished his first thought had been right. At least then he could tell Kaylee not to worry and in the morning her and Simon would work through whatever it was. He was not expecting this. “I’ll wake Wash up and have him set us a course.”

Mal kneeled in front of Kaylee. He wiped the tears away and laid her back in bed. He pulled the covers over her, tucking her in. “Don’t worry, meimei.” He kissed her forehead. “We are gonna help your friend.” Kaylee forced a smile. “Anyone who means this much to you, means this much to me. She’ll be okay.”

* * * *

“Hey gorgeous, how ‘bout shomare?” He was an ugly, large, intoxicated man. When he came into the bar everyone cleared out as if he was a disease. He was loud, obnoxious, and earned himself the title of ‘town drunk’.

“I don’t think so, Charlie.” She took away his empty mug. “I think I better cut you off for the night.” She looked at her watch. “Besides, it’s closing time.”

Charlie was upset. He didn’t take no for an answer. “Miss Annabella….” He was quickly interrupted.

A young man came behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Come on, Charlie. I’ll walk you out.”

The young man turned to the lady bartender. “I’ll lock up. See you tomorrow night.” He helped Charlie up and wrapped his arm around Charlie’s side giving him some support as they walked out the door.

“What a night.” The girl said to herself.

She was almost finished wiping the tables when she noticed a dark figure in the window. Her heart stopped. She felt a cold chill run down her spine. She had never felt more scared.

After a few minutes, the dark figure leering in the window walked away. It was too dark to know who it was for sure, but she had a good idea. Slowly, her heart started beating again. As if nothing happened, she went back to wiping the tables, but a single tear fell down her cheek. “Kaylee Frye, I really hope I’ll see you soon.”

To be continued…

Interesting teaser, can't wait to see where you take this story and finding out just what bad thing it was Kaylee's friend did. And why it is so awful she cannot put it in her wave to her friend. Hmm, so much for asking Kaylee to tell the Captain the truth when she hasn't even told Kaylee that. Very good start, shiny! Ali D :~)

I'm intrigued! Like Ali said, a nice teaser. I'm curious as to what exactly Kaylee's friend did and just who was that figure outside the window. More!
