About this ebook
In a dystopian future, where human behavior has finally brought destruction to the planet, an alien race has saved some of those who were willing to escape from a doomed Earth.
Living on their vast mother ship, with everything they need, an age-old game is reinvented from a Native American sport. New Batey becomes their entertainment and new heroes emerge to play it.
Chilly is one of them. The elder sister of Nico, in this fast-paced and intimidating environment she excels, fighting to be seen as a player who is just as good as any other, just as she had fought for herself every day of her young life.
But how long can she stand the adulation from the crowds? How long can she stay as distant and hateful as she has been her whole life? And how long can she remain a virtual prisoner on an alien craft that promises everything but really delivers nothing?
As the whirlwind competition of Batey continues to consume her life, Chilly may have inadvertently stumbled across the answers.

About the Author
To my sister, I’m Completely Me, I love you, just not the memories of getting beat up before I could develop muscles. Enjoy this what if story inspired by you :)
CHAPTER 1
Chilly.
Things don’t change in people. When they move, their routines change, but only because they want things to stay the same. On Earth and on Gibraltar, people strive for what makes them feel like things are the same. We work because we want to. We play because we can. Even though the conditions are different, men will still look at me like a fine slice of traveling steak.
Becoming a professional Batey player hasn’t changed me much. I’m still me, and I earn the name Chilly, consistently. I have suitors, men and boys alike. All ages and all backgrounds, sticking around me like they’re living through a blizzard. All because I give them nothing but the coldest part of my shoulder. None of them are good enough for me; none of them are right.
Even with the Earth in balance and humanity divided, people are still the same. They are so desperate to stay the same because changing that much leads to too many problems. I know that because I’ve been through that, and I tried to change, and it didn’t work.
Just walking into the venue makes me feel that. The surrounding cold. There’s no sky
above us, just illumination that mimics our old, lost sunlight. There are clouds, but they are made out of steam and other produced gases inside this spaceship. It's blue, but it’s too shallow. The sky is closer than it used to be. Even though it’s supposed to be the same
. It changed, and nobody has any acknowledgement of it. I haven’t met one person who admitted that the sky here is the same or better than the sky on Earth.
So why even choose it? Why do people not change? I wonder why. Maybe they have hope, and I can’t sympathize with that issue. Men have hope of warming me up, getting close to me and working their way into my heart, but that’s not happening. Not again. Maybe they have hope that they’ll feel so good they’ll forget where they are.
It won’t change the facts.
We’re all stuck up here in this alien habitat. Most people see the massive spaceship, Gibraltar, as salvation. But not enough think of it the correct way. It’s a prison. That’s the real fact, the hard line. The Blues, the aliens that put us in Gibraltar, are keeping us here, making us
