Tracing Roots
Day 5-
i feel it's only natural that these alien hunters are hunting us. i mean, if you look at the similar way we humans hunt, their way is no different, only the fact that they are more advanced than we are. i dont favor in hunting i have a feeling of how fun it would be to do so. i think the hunters chasing us are having the time of their life, though they dont put much enthusiasm into it. for them, its probably like playing a hard video game and stressing to beat it. on the third day, me and Josolyne strolled across the jungle to find any possible food. it was going terrible until we saw something parachuting down from the sky. it looked like some sort of box. me and Josolyne looked at each other and decided to see what it was. five minutes of running and we found a large, 1 meter wide box that was strangely designed.
"have any idea on what it is," Josolyne asked.
"probably something alien," i said. "probably a trap."
suddenly, the box shifts faster than my breath turned heavily and the lid opened. me and Josolyne took a few steps back, but the smell coming out of the box made me more hungry than i already was. i walked closer towards the box and looked down to see food
but there was only bread, turky meat, mayo, cheese, a knife, 6 things of Aquafina water and three big bags of Doritos
but at least we had something to eat
"i dont think it's a trap. i think they need us in good condition for a good hunt," i said.
"your just saying that because you're hungry!" Josolyne said.
"so, it's true," i replied indulging myself with some chips
"oh my god," Josolyne complained. "and i thought you were the smart one here."
"i am," i said. "that's why im eating."
"oh my god!" josolyne complained some more. "oh well then. B) can we at least carry that thing back to the cave!?"
"indulging here."
opcorn: ........."okay fine."
be carried that thing for about 20 minutes. we took several breaks. but made our destination. the only problem was getting the big box in. we struggled getting the box in between the trees. the universe made matters worse by having us hear a roar traveling towards us from afar in the jungle.
it was time to start pushing and kicking. the box was just too big and heavy. we heard the sound coming closer towards us and we just pushed and kicked for our lives...and our stomachs. "i think we should take several steps back and charge at the box," i suggested.
"okay!" Josolyne said. as i said, we took several steps back.
"ready...GO!!!" we charged like angry bulls, jumped and kicked the box into the cave. i saw the thing that was following us. it was some type of horned monster on all fours charging at us. we dashed across the tree wall and made it into the cave as well.
we waited to see what the creature was capable of. it seemed to know where we were but couldnt sense it. it started sniffing around for scents so it could find us. i had an idea. in my backpack was a perfume that had a great scent. i partially opened the perfume and threw it outside as far as i could. several seconds later, the hound-like creature walked back and ran towards the perfume. once it got there, it started sniffing it and twirled around in a crazily matter. it was like the perfume is like weed for those hounds. i just had to laugh at that Josolyne was wondering why, but as i explained, she laughed as well. as the creature ran off we unpacked the box.
and once we did the bottom opened up for us to see three weapons!!! these predators must really want the hunt to be challenging. in the box was an AE-90 assault rifle(afterlife enforcer), MD-35 Ballistic rifle (Mass destructor), and M12(Minigun 12 so called because it it is specially designed to have 12 barrels of great calibur). today was our lucky day, but i know why there was three of everything in this box. one set would've been for Larry if he were alive. those sons of bitches got him though. we also found some ammow for each of the three weapons and three first aid kits. we took them out and placed them on the wall. "what do we do now," i asked.
"i guess we should wait," Josolyne said. "we need to put our abilities to the test. and we also need to see what those fuckers are fully capable of."
"ok," i said plainly. "i guess we should waid untill tomorrow then."
"that's the plan."
we carefully took small amounts of food. we had no idea how long we'd be in this planet... or how long we'd live...
on the fourth day. we went out with our weapons; i with the AE-90 and Josolyne with the MD-35. we found the pool of mud and covered ourselves in some of it so we wouldnt be easily detected for the low amount of time that it could. we travelled east to find the hunters' camp site to see what they were up to. we hid in the trees and bushes to see what was going on. i could see the small one still strapped on the pillar. it let out several roars of anger before one of the big ones smacked him in the head. i figured out that the smaller one seemed to be some sort of prey to the larger ones. how sad... i also saw another one of those big creatures with the other two. it was tending to four of those hound-like creatures we saw earlier. man! these ******** are really like us humans. thats the messed up thing. i saw another one carrying a dead body. i took out binoqulars(i never knew how to spell it) to see what it was and. it was Larry. my breathing went down the hard road as i first gazed at his face. "they have Larry's body," i wispered.
"oh no," Josolyne said in sorrow.
i saw that one of the hunters plunged his hand into Larry's back and pulled out his spine along with his skull. that reminded me that before, i saw some human and alien spines and skulls put up as a trophy like that. and now, Larry is their new prize! "**********, they are too much like us, in their own way," i said in anger.
the hunter just gave the rest of Larry's body to the hounds. and the four just nibbled at it. that just pissed me of, so i got Josolyne's ballistic rifle and went into firing position. i was aiming at the dogs. i adjusted the binoqular on the weapon so i could get a clear shot. i took the shot at the horned head of one of them. once the first one fell the other hounds and the hunters were alert. even the smaller one on the piller was. i took another shot at at one of the hounds. this one groaned in agony for a second and died. i felt good for getting my first two kills.
"Marella!" Josolyne wispered. "your being targeted!"
i looked on my abdominal area and saw three red dots. suddenly, i heart a firing noise, looked up and dodged the luminescent thing aiming at me. me and Josolyne knealed down. "here's your weapon back," i gave her weapon back and took mine and ran off. one of the hunters roared at the remaining two hounds(which i thought meant to look for us). i didnt have anymore perfume anymore so me and Josolyne ran southwest. i had to devise a plan quick
i climbed one of the climbable trees and waited for the two hounds to come, while Josolyne stood between two trees as bait. we heard the hounds coming closer and closer by the second. i saw both of them. they were staring at Josolyne. one of them decided to charge. but it couldnt survive my full automatic assault rifle long enough to even touch Josolyne. in rage, the other one recklessly charged at her, unaware that i existed. and Josolyne took a shot at it with her rifle. she kind of let it come too close at her, so it kind of died on top of her. i got off the tree and helped her. when she got up we ran towards the cave. i stopped and thought for a second. "whats wrong, Marella," Josolyne wondered.
"i need to test something," i said. "go in the cave and wait for me."
"Marella! this is no time to be making stupid decisions!"
"im not. i just need to test something."
"sigh... i hope you stay alive," Josolyne grunted and dashed into the cave. i ran off in the direction that the hounds were following us. i found the two dead bodies that me and Josolyne killed. i stood there waiting for the hunters to come. i see an menacing invisible figure jumping from tree to tree. it dropped down in my area. and stood there just like i did. he looked down at his dead bitch pups and roared at me. i mounted my weapon, ready to attack. the hunter's right fist clenched and uniquely designed dual blades came out of his vambrace. damn, what would i give to have that thing. i saw something on his left shoulder. i figured it was one of the things that was firing at me and Larry. it was targeted at me. on the upper right side of his mask flashed a red glow that followed my chest area. i smiled and as it fired, i moved swiftly to the right as i shot at unarmored parts of his body. the hunter charged at me with his wrist blades with green blood comming down from his leg. i dodged his attack and tested its strength by punching it on the side of his back. "oww!" that really hurt. i backed away and once the hunter was eyeing me. he took a shot with his shoulder gun which i barely even dodged. i fired as i dodged his blasts and dealed more damage that seemed to slowly kill the hunter.
he took out a disk from which 6 blades sprouted out from and threw it at me. that one i couldnt dodge so easily. the bladed dist got me on my upper arm. it hurt so bad that i wondered if the disc could easily cut my arm off if i wasnt lucky. it was a good thing that i could still use that arm though. the disc flew back to the hunter's hand like a boomerant. instead of shooting the hunter in random places, i decided to start getting him in the abdominal area. i kept on firing at his stomach. it kept coming at me with his shoulder gun and wrist blades but i was lucky to dodge. i fired the last bullets in the load of ammo. i reached in my pocket and loaded more ammow and kept my target at the hunter. he was shaking a little bit. i could tell that i weakened it(i reckon a little bit). it stared at me to keep a look. suddenly, he looked away and ran off to his camp. "yippe!" i yelled in triumph. i finally learned that these things can be killed. i tested this because i figured if the hounds can be killed this easily, then it might be hard to kill the real hunters, but we could. i wanted to see how much it takes just to kill them. genius right!?
i went back into the cave and told Josolyne my experience. she thought i was as high as the hound was when it sniffed the perfume.
"come on," i said. "we wouldnt get anywhere if we didnt know that these aliens can be killed."
"but at least let me know next time so i can see for myself."
"but since i told you to go into the cave, if i were to die, at least you'd survive."
"man... you are smart," Josolyne said.
"pretty ironic, being a Latina and all," i said.
"your a Latina," Josolyne asked in surprise. "i thought you were white."
"i get that alot," i said. "this skin lies."
we rested for the rest of that day. i spent this fith day writing again.
