Amara's with me, as we pretend to search for the human sized alien. It's been two weeks, these things sure know how to disappear. Everyone's coming back tired and empty handed. Operation, find him before they do, is an uber fail.

"Do you know what I think?"

"What?"

"Maybe we should've left with him."

"He asked me to go with him, not you."

"Yeah, but I would've still followed you, you have a way with getting under a man's skin. Digging your claws in, and not letting go... I hate you."

"Yeah, well... I love you too." She says, with a smile.

Taking a break, we're nestled under a huge tree, it's branches extending out around us, offering us shade, and privacy. Her head in my lap, eyes closed, I watch her, my hand gently stroking her hair.

"You know, I almost thought that I lost you."

"Oh yeah, what happened to Joy's raggedy ass?"

"I sent her back, she was just a ploy to make you jealous."

"Well, mission accomplished."

We're both quiet, enjoying the sounds of... well nothing... the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end, I feel ill at ease.

"Amara..." I state, quietly."

"Mmm..."

"We gotta go." I whisper.

Her eyes pop open, and listening intently, I scan the woods. I did learn something from the human alien, how to spot their camaflouge.

Coming to our feet, the ominous sound of clicking freezes us. I don't want to alarm her, but It's two of them. If they were friendly, they would have made themselves known to us.

One's on the ground, the other's in the trees, remaining calm, I don't want to alarm her.

"On three, we run like hell and don't look back." I whisper.

"What is it?"

"One, two, three!" I state, only for her ears.

She takes off running back to civilization, and I stay, we both can't make it, someone has to be the diversion. Firing two shots, one at the trees, and the other coming towards me with speed, I go further into the woods.

I hear her calling for me, but I keep moving.

AMARA

He said, "we" run like hell on three, and doing as instructed, two shots later, he's not by my side or behind me. "Dom...!"

There's no reply, except the sound of something large heading in my direction. My heart working in overdrive, I make my way quickly away from my pursuer. It's quicker, materializing right in front me, causing me to come to an abrupt stop.

Falling backwards, I hit my head hard on the ground, and the last thing that I see is a Yautja slowly stalking me, It's spear aimed at me.

Opening my eyes, I'm shocked to see the same Yautja, minus a body staring at me. Quickly throwing off the covering wrapped around me, I'm up in a flash, looking around. It's dark, a fire's going and footsteps coming towards me, I try to locate a place to hide.

"It's just me."

Oh my god, Da'sal!

Going to him, I throw my arms around him. " You need to stay out of the woods." He tells me.

"We have to find Dominic."

"He's dead."

"What, you saw this?"

"No, but the odds are not in his favor for survival, not with his mate going after him." He says, in reference to the dead Yautja.

"I've been watching them for awhile, practicing my stalking skills, and he's bad but she's worser, they enjoy inflicting pain on others."

"Still, we have to try."

"What did I say?"

"I don't care what you said, we're going to look for him."

"Are you going back to your people or not?" He asks, dismissively.

"No, I can't just leave him out there."

"Okay."

Relief, is followed by a stinging pain in my neck. "Sorry, but he's not worth it." Says Da'sal, as I struggle against the darkness, that tries to pull me into unconsciousness. "Da'sal..."

DOMINIC

What happened to the white light at the end of the tunnel? "Go into the light..." Isn't that what they tell the dead, on those paranormal shows?

I'm waiting for instructions, what am I supposed to do?
