Standing over a alien, it's huge, black, and juicy... together Amara and I put it down. We weren't prepared for this! These are worse than, the humanoids.

Laura ventured off on her own and came back, pregnant so to speak. Upon her arrival, she immediately started experiencing chest pain, and something burst through screaming.

A few bullets later, it was dead and the mama or papa showed up, I can't tell the difference. James and Travis did what they do best, and ran, leaving Amara and me holding the bag.

Coming at her, I get off a few shots injuring it, and barreling into her, she's knocked down, the spear given to her by the alien impaling it.

It's flipped into the air, over her head, never to rise again.

"What the hell..." I state, the both of us examining it. Arms, feet, teeth... Omg...

"This is it... we gotta get to the ship."

"It's here?"

"Not yet, but I know where It's gonna be at."

"Let's go..." I state, grabbing my pack.

"We gotta get James and Travis."

A horrified yell, followed by an agonizing scream, and Travis bursts back through the brush, running right past us.

We don't even ask questions, we just take off running right behind him.

"How much farther?" I ask. We'd taken rest, and Travis seems to be in a state of shock. Knees pulled up to his chest, he naps in a sitting position, with his head on his knees.

"Should be about ten more miles, give or take a mile or three."

We'll finish the rest of the hike, at first light, we don't need to get lost.

We're both up, watching for those things, while you know who, sleeps like a baby. Self preservation is strong in that one.

Waking, we must have dozed off, Amara's arms are around me, with her head on my chest. The sun's shining brightly in the sky, and panic sets in.

We've overslept, waking her in a not so gentle way, she's instantly alert, eyes wide. "We gotta go!"

Travis comes to his feet automatically, he's been in a catatonic state, ever since... whatever happened to James.

We're tired, and need to rest but can't. "Do you think that we missed it?" Asks, Travis. His first words, finally.

"I don't know the time, but it's definitely light out, when they come, the day after those thing's come."

"We can make it." I state, trying to increase my pace, but my body won't let me.

A loud rustle followed by quick scurrying footsteps, freezes us in place. A screech, and a roar, has us taking cover, before one of those humanoids is knocked backwards into our hiding place.

The chest area gives away it's sex, female, we're staring at in horror, as it shakes off the blow, before it's attention's drawn to us.

The laser weapon comes out, the juicy alien jumps on her, and we make a break for it.

We can't be less than a mile out, before we hear the roar of an engine of sorts. "They're leaving us!" Screams Travis.

Adrenaline and fear pushes us forward, and we make the clearing, as a large spaceship's taking off. "Wait!"

"Don't leave!"

"We're here!"

It hovers for what seems like eternity, before coming back down.

The door opens, and Romeo comes to the opening. Amara runs into his waiting arms, and not wanting to get left behind, we enter behind her.

Whatever's waiting for us inside, can't be worse than what's behind us.

They scan us, before caging us, and as the door's are closing, the female alien enters. She takes one look at us, before breaking out in a series of quick foreign words, and clicks.

Romeo and her seem to argue, before she takes a few steps towards us, her gaze on Amara. She's halted by his growl, and drawn spear.

A few more words are passed between the two, before she brushes past him aggressively.

"Is it me, or does it seem like there's some sexual tension between those two?"

"Shut up..." States, Amara.
