Re-born – Hard decisions
by Ensign Jason Hawk & Soghla' Terri (Tell) Hope
Jason walked into the cargo bay deciding to try to comfort the girl as best he could. When Jason walked over the first thing he noticed was she was crying. "She's terrified, I'm sure the Klingons aren't helping matters either." He thought to himself as he knelt down next to her. "Hello Hope, I'm Jason. I met you on the Bridge. You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm a Star Fleet officer." Jason smiled at her to try to calm her. "You know, your name it reminds me of a saying. Hope springs forth. There is always hope so don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. And you won't become a Borg either I promise."
Hope lay on the mattress that they had given her to lie on. She wrapped a soft blanket around her for comfort. The others kept saying that to her that she wouldn't become a Borg. The thought that she might turn into one of them terrified her.
"Don't worry yourself little one. We're going to get you to a federation ship where they'll save you. Always remember Fear smolders in the dark in everyone. It's always there no matter who you are. But Hope burns bright, and that light casts out the shadows of fear. As long as you can hope, you can win." Jason said as he sat down next to her.
Hope pushed herself up and sat with her legs crossed looking at the man through very huge brown eyes that were rimmed with tears. His voice was soft and kind but they were strangers on this ship. Everything she knew was gone and she was alone with nothing except an old mattress to lie on. She had never felt so lonely or afraid before what could she say to the man sitting across from her? She rubbed her infected cheek across her shoulder as if trying to rub the stain away.
"You promise?" came a weak feeble reply.
"I promise. I'll stay with you for as long as you want too." Jason said gently
