    Author Notes:

    She walked until it was pitch dark and she was too tired to keep going, and then, because there weren’t any better options, she set up her camp right where she was and she went to sleep. ————————— The morning came swiftly, and, thankfully, if she had dreamt of anything that night, she couldn’t remember

    She walked until it was pitch dark and she was too tired to keep going, and then, because there weren’t any better options, she set up her camp right where she was and she went to sleep.

    —————————

    The morning came swiftly, and, thankfully, if she had dreamt of anything that night, she couldn’t remember even a wisp of it upon waking. She’d woken with the first rays of sunlight. She took a sip of water and ate two small nuts, then packed up her few possessions and started to walk.

    Just as the temperature was getting to the point where she she could tell it would be best for her to stop soon (perspiration wasted water that she couldn’t afford to waste), she climbed over a rise and saw it – a settlement!

    Immediately, her mind was alive with questions. Who were they? How did they live up here? Were they Ocampa, or were they from the stars like the Caretaker? She’d only heard of a few other cases of one of her people coming to the surface, but was it possible some had, generations before her, and made this place to live? And if they weren’t her people, then who were they? Would they be welcoming, or would they send her away?

    It was still a long walk down there though, one that would have to wait until the sun went down. She’d been making sure to always keep within fairly close walking distance of shade if she could help it, and so she went over to find a place to lay down through the day and wait for the weather to cool again.

    She found herself sitting there, again imagining what her parents’ reaction would be to the goodbye message she’d left them. It made her sad to think of what she must be putting them through. She thought of best friend as well. What Tae’s reaction would be? …would she cry? She’d imagined many times what it would have been like if Tae shared her feelings. What it would be like to share a house with her… to share a bed… a life… She knew it was impractical. She knew what her people thought of people like her – that they were genetically defective. What other explanation could their be, they’d say, when a same sex couple couldn’t produce a child? It was obviously nature’s way of correcting for defects like her… of course, Lona had found out for her that that wasn’t strictly true, but still, Kes couldn’t completely banish the thought that there might be at least some truth to what the elders said, to what her people believed… when she thought about it logically, didn’t it make more sense just to keep her feelings hidden…? To go along and merry Daggin, the boy in her circle of friends who liked her?

    1. I loved voyager and was a bit sad that it wasn’t about the ship and crew but Kes was always one of my favorites. I’m late to the party but can’t wait to catch up.
      thanks for writing. It’s fantastic so far.
