A Predator Halloween



Chapter 5



“Alex!! Let’s GO!! I’m not gona tell you again!!” Tya wrapped her coat around her, feeling it bounce off her invisible friend at her side. Did he have to stand so close? She turned, purposefully kicking his foot for him to move back. She heard a low rumble from him, but it died quickly, as her younger sister thundered down the stairs, like a heard of Elephants were in her boots.


“God, keep your pants on,” the girl huffed. “You said the guy’s a geek. Why so anxious to get to him?”


“You have lessons now, so shut up and get in the van. You’re gona be late.” Tya opened the door to see her father talking with her oldest brother and his friend.


“Dad! You’re home!” Alex practically tackled the man as she hugged him. Tya felt the body of her friend brush by her to inspect these new strangers. “Can you drive me?”


“No Alex, I can’t. I have to take your brother to practice.”


“You two can switch.”


“No Alex,” her brother cut in. “Ela is at the riding center with Jessica. I have to drive them home when you’re finished too.”


“No offence big bro. But Jess can’t ride. She has no balance.”


“Get in the van squirt. Get in the front. The seat’s stuck & won’t go back.” He turned to his other sister. “Sorry Tya, you’ll have to be in the back with Daniel. You remember each other…right?”


Tya looked to the older man, with his short brown hair, rather haphazardly strew over his head. “Jackson…right?”


“Yeah, hello…again.” He shook her hand. She hated set ups.


“So,” she began, as her father kissed her sister and went into the house, as the trio climbed into the van. “How did you get roped into this?”


“I’ve got a friend, who lives near here. Her car’s in the shop, she borrowed my SUV. I came to take her to get her car tonight, but she’s not home. No answer on her cell. Your brother agreed to give me a lift, and to put up with me till we get back.”


The van began to drive away. “You’re kidding? Have you got any idea how late we’re gona be getting home?”


“Ah…no…Is that a problem?”


“It’ll be near midnight. The car shop will be long closed, and your friend in bed.”


“Oh…Ed, you can drop me back home if that’s ok. I’ll catch up to Carter later.”


“Sorry man, we’re going the other way. Relax. Consider this a date. You know, with my sister.”


“Oh boy,” he whispered, seeing his friend’s mischievous smile in the rear-view mirror.
“Oh dear lord, is everybody trying to fix me up? I swear you, mom, and dad are really getting on my nerves.”


“They’re not fixing you up sis,” Alex snickered, turning in her seat. “Face it. They’re trying to get you laid.” Tya’s mouth dropped. She couldn’t BELIEVE her sister just said that. Oh she was so dead.


“Watch your mouth squirt, or you’re walking home.”


“I can’t believe this.” Tya sat back totally embarrass. Daniel just buried his face in his hands, sliding his fingers behind the lenses of his glasses.


He took a steadying breath, and took some papers from his briefcase, going over them. They weren’t classified. Everyone knew he was an archaeologist, even Tya. All the pictures showed were stone tablets of hieroglyphs. Ed told him that his sister wasn’t into ancient history, so no worries of her reading them over his shoulder. Even if she did, there was nothing there to suggest that the pictures were taken on another planet. So his notes, and pictures, were safe.


“Daniel, don’t be shy. My sister thinks you’re hot,” Ed stated.


“I do not!” Tya shouted, as Alex laughed out loud.


“Honestly, I think Alex is a bit young for me,” Daniel returned nonchalantly.


“Oh please. You’re not even my type!” Alex laughed.


“Alex, you’re 13 years old, you don’t know what your type is yet.”


“Yeah, I do. A guy who likes something that ISN’T country music,” she answered looking back at her sister. “And who will shut up when I tell him too.”


“She’s in for a huge shock,” Tya whispered to Daniel.


“Oh, you bet ‘cha,” he snickered back, and continued to go over his papers.


The rest of the ride to the riding facility was quiet. Tya looked out the window, wondering how her mysterious friend was going to follow her so far from home. She couldn’t help but think of how he’d made her feel only a few hours before. He had to be male. Couldn’t he? When pressed against him, she didn’t feel anything but a broad chest. There were hard points, almost metal like, but certainly not breasts.


If it was male, why was he interested in her, and not his own species? Did his kind find it taboo to do what he did to her to their own kind, that he wanted to experiment to see what it was like? Did their race have so few females, that they seek the company of females of other races? Do they have reproductive problems, where human females could help? Or, and she cringed as she thought of it, was he just there to alleviate his sexual desires, any way he could?


If that was the case, he could have done that already, many times, if he was in her kitchen, it meant he’d been in the house for a while. When she got home, when she showered, when she…”OH SHIT!!!” she gasped, realizing he’d probably seen her naked. Now that would explain a lot.


“What!?” her brother asked of her outburst.


Quickly she searched her purse. “Never mind,” she said, pulling out her cell phone. The thing lived in her purse, but it was a good diversion from the real reason of her cry. “I didn’t forget it.”


“Forget what?”


“Her cell phone,” Daniel answered, as she tired to calm down.


“Jeese, Tya, don’t do that. I thought you hurt yourself or something.”


“Sorry, Ed. I didn’t mean to startle you.”


“Expecting a call?” Daniel asked, flipping his pages.


“Yeah. I’m car pooling to work tomorrow. Just wanted to be sure the driver could reach me tonight to confirm.”


“I though mom was driving you?” Alex asked, turning in her seat.


“Alex, turn around, and buckle up. I’m not gona tell you again.”


“Ok. Can this thing go any faster? We’ll be late.”


“We wouldn’t be, if you got ready when I told you,” Tya said.


“No, she’s right,” said Ed, looking at the dash of the van. “The Van’s running weird. Like it’s got no power.”


“Wind Shear?” Daniel asked.


“Must be. I got it to the floor, but…nothing. I’ll have to check when we get there.”


“Ok.” Little did the small group know of the extra weight on the roof, that was D’Gon.





The barn was packed with horse, of course, parents and their kids, other boarders, instructors, and small groups for rides or tours for various activities on the property. Tya watched as her sister readied her Welsh pony, with the saddle, then climbed up. She then watched her oldest brother as a larger pony stopped before him, surrounded by several people, all making sure the disabled girl on its back stayed in place. “Hey angel, did you enjoy your ride?”


The little girl beamed ear to ear. “She was great Mr. Reese,” said one of the women, as they readied the girl to return to her wheelchair. “She’s becoming more vocal too. Which is a welcome change.”


“That’s great. Did you hear that Angel? You’re doing great.”


Tya had to give her brother credit. He met his wife, Ela, while she was pregnant. He knew the problems they’d face with Jessica, and he fully embraced it. He loved that little girl like there was no tomorrow. For Jessica however, there may not be a tomorrow.


She glanced at Alex as she looked on with a dark expression. “What is it?” she asked her sister.


“I don’t get what the big deal is with her. Jessica is never gona ride like me. Why’s everybody freaking out over her all the time?”


“Well, it’s like this. Jess was born with a lot of physical and developmental problems. Any progress towards anything in life for her, needs to be cheered. She knows she’s different. She sees how people who don’t understand look at her. It hurts her to be different. She wants to be like you and me, but she never will be. And looks like yours now, really hurt. More than you know.” Alex looked down at her pony, then back to Jessica.


“She’s gona die, isn’t she?”


“Yes, Alex. She is. But while she’s with us, we want everyday for her, to be like last weekend’s show for you. Remember how you felt when you placed first in the flat exercises?” Alex nodded. “We want her to feel that important.”


“Do you think she knows she’d gona die?”


“We’re not sure. If she does, she doesn’t show it. And I think that’s the bravest thing she’s ever had to do.”


“Alex, move up.” Called her instructor, and she moved her pony into the ring.


Tya went to the stack of hay bails, and took a seat. The barn hands were moving the bails to the loft area, but the stack was still quite high against the fence along the side of the ring. Daniel came to join her. “We’re gona be a while. Ela is still working out the financing for Jessica, and Ed wants to take a look at the van,” Daniel informed her
“I figured. They try to get her out to ride twice while we’re here.”


“Is Alex ok?”


“I think so. She doesn’t understand Jessica. So there’s some teenage jealousy about attention, and she doesn’t’ know how to express it. I think she’ll be fine. You can only explain so much about these kids of things, but unless she’s willing to internalize it, its just word to her.”


Daniel nodded as he watched Ed with Jessica, sitting her in her wheelchair. “You know, you’re pretty smart.”


“Thanks. Not like you though, you’re a professor.”


“Of archaeology and ancient civilizations. I can speak 14 different languages, but what you just said about your sister, that I could not do. I mean, I’d totally say all the wrong things, and probably confuse us both.”


“You don’t’ have kids, do you?”


“No…no I don’t…though one that I work with, you could say is a huge kid.”


“That’s not what I meant,” she laughed.


“I know.”


“On another note…please?”


“Of course,” he replied, feeling her desire to change the subject just as much.
"So. Do you ride?”


“God no,” she laughed, remembering when she was 12, and went riding with her scout troop. “Some people get sea sick, some get car sick. I get sick riding on a horse.”


“You’re kidding?”


“Nope. Yet cars and boats I’m find in. up on a horse. No way.”


“Well I guess that’s not too bad. Me, I have allergies.” She looked at him quizzically. “Oh,” he pulled a box out of his shirt pocket. “Antihistamines.” She nodded.


She heard one of the horses in the ring neigh, and the instructor telling the rider to hold the reins tighter, and move the animal forward. Tya looked over and saw it was her sister’s pony. Its eyes were wide with fright. “Sorry,” Tya called gently. “We were just talking.”


“The horses can’t see you there. Can you move please?” the instructor called, taking the pony’s bridle, and leading it in a small circle away from and then back towards the hay bails. Daniel and Tya moved off, and stood near Ed, and the group around Jessica. Jessica smiled up at Daniel.


“Tya Help!” Tya turned back to see the instructor truly struggling with the pony, Alex still on its back. The pony tried to rear up. Tya came around, and grabbed her sister off the pony, and the instructor let it go. “Thanks sis.”


“Something’s really spooked that pony,” the instructor said. They watched as the pony stopped in the back corner, and was corralled by some of the larger horses of the experienced riders. The pony calmed somewhat, and the riders motioned for them to come and get the little animal. Alex followed her instructor, listening to what she was told of keeping control when the pony refused to go forward for no reason.


“LOOK OUT!!!” Tya turned to see one of the barn hands climbing the mountain of hay bails, she looked up to see that the pile was dangerously swaying.


“Oh shit!” Three hay bails let go, then the hole stack. She heard a growl, she knew it was from her friend. But she was quicker. She flipped her body end over end, away from the falling bails. She did a backwards summersault, and landed, just on the other side of a two foot high pony jump. She stood there, looking at the mess of bails, catching her breath.
Daniel and Ed rushed up to her. “You ok Tya?” Ed asked.


“Yeah, fine,” she said panting. “But I’m gona feel that in the morning.”


“That was fantastic,” Daniel said, looking at the marks in the soft ground cover of her foot, and hand prints, from the manoeuvre.


“Thanks. I haven’t had to do something like that since I was 16. OWE!”


“Come on, let’s get you to the lounge. The beginners class should be finished. You can wait up there.” The three eyed the barn hands as they quickly moved the bails out of the way.


“At least we know why the pony wouldn’t go by the hay,” Daniel offered. “He could sense the bails were unstable.”


“You think?” Ed asked.


“Well it’s the only thing that makes sense.” Ed nodded in agreement.





Safe in the rafters of the facility, D’Gon watched as the two men lead his female away. He had chosen a vantage point on top of the bailed vegetation, so that he could keep an eye on the male, as he tried to move on his female. He didn’t like it up there, the male workers continually eroded away the support of the bails beneath him. They were going to fall. He moved up to the rafters as carefully as he could, but the stacks continued to become unstable.


The younger female that came with the group, was riding one of the spindly legged sprinters. If the stacks fell, she would be injured. He hissed at the animal, to scare it away, and it was working, sort of. The animal wouldn’t go near the stacks, but the young rider was trying to move it there anyway. He continued to hiss, as his female moved from the stack with her companion. He growled low in his chest. This male was too close to her. What right did he have? He was inferior. He wore vision correction. He’d seen it before. She could not seriously allow this male to posture for her?


He growled again, and the small animal began to react. The stacks were swaying dangerously now. His female moved to the ring. Was she insane? She’d be hurt. The little female was safe now, the animal running free, but still she stood where the bails would fall. He had to do something. One of the workers was near his position. He grabbed the remains of a poultry nest, and dropped it, landing right on the male’s head. It had the desired effect.


He called out to the impending danger, he even made a valiant effort to go up the stack to stop them from swaying, but it was too late. His female had been warned, but she didn’t run. He thought of jumping down and pushing her out of the way, but again, she surprised him. She flipped her body out of the way. He watched as she moved her muscles with surprising power and speed, to propeller away from the danger in such an unusual manner. He hoped she would do it again, he wanted to visually record the event. Perhaps maser it himself. Though he couldn’t really see his bulky size doing that. Perhaps as an exercise for the pups of his clan. Yes, it would be enjoyable to see them tumble their little bodies that way. They had boundless energy, this would be a new game for them.


The two males returned to his female’s side. They were leading her way. Where? Where were they taking her? She seemed winded. Was she hurt? Quickly he moved to the wall, and climbed down the inner wall supports. The male workers were busy with the mess they had created. The hall ways were deserted. He’d follow them. They would not get a chance to harm her. He would not permit it!
