  He looked down at her smiling. She was finally awake. He had started to get worried; after all, it had been two days. He knew she’d come around though. He’d had his Healer check her and he’d said just to let her sleep it off and she’d be fine.

  He’d had her taken care of by the precog and she was now dressed in a beautiful white tunic, the way he liked. He was quite pleased with himself. She would be the best one he’d collected to date. And she was a prize, too! He shivered with anticipation, thinking of all the things he was going to do with her, all the different ways…he shivered again.
