Monster

Chapter 6

“What do you think you can offer me soft skin?” The Robotic voice filled the entire cave.

Ha
rold smiled. “I know you war with another of your kind. In fact their numbers are greater than yours.”


The queen hissed at him. “We know you watch us soft skin. That is why I gave you my son. I knew you would take him. It is your way to not avoid danger but to embrace it.”


Her massive tail slid across the floor before Harold. “Yes I war with the clan across the hard water and her numbers are greater than mine. However, I am a great one soft skin. I have learned to grow to change the field of battle. With my son, I will kill her and her clan and you shall help me. You shall build more of these machines.”


She lowered her head to the Robotic man.


Harold raised an eyebrow. “What could you want them for they are just drones and can not think only serve.”


The Queen hissed in laughter. “Exactly soft skin they will serve me.”

A scream interrupted them and Jean came running towards Harold with the two aliens chasing her. They had lost her when they began fighting over who would do what to her.
Jean clung to Harold.


The Queen roared and the smaller Aliens came from all directions and surrounded their larger brothers. The two brothers kneeled before their mother as she hissed at them in anger at being disturbed. She ordered one of the smaller Aliens to take Jean away.She screamed as they pulled her from Harold.

Harold did not take his eyes from the Queen as she swung her tail up from the ground and raised it to the brothers’ heads.


“We were careful not to damage your army when we entered your nest. You and the other soft skins will repair them.”


The Queen raised her head to the ceiling continuing to speak. “It is not by accident that the female was chosen for my son. We have watched her for sometime. She knows this land better than your males. She will survive here and breed the new army.”


Harold smiled. “That is what we were doing in order to conquer the others here.”


The Queen hissed. “Your wants do not matter to me soft skin.”


“You must see that if we work together we can have this planet and the worlds will marvel at us.”


The Queen was silent for a while and then Harold felt pain in the back of his legs as a tail from one of the smaller Aliens whipped across them dropping him to his knees. The Queen released the brothers and they surrounded Harold each dropping its head so Harold could see their teeth slowly extending.


“I care not for what you want soft skin and you will not speak of it again or you will know my name.”


Harold stayed on his knees and silent. “You will repair the army in the time that I begin to dry.”


Harold looked up at her. “I do not understand.”


The Queen hissed. “The organ that helps me to lay my eggs will dry in seven of your days you and the others of your kind will prepare the machines for the coming battle.”


Harold nodded. The Queen roared because he said nothing.
“I will do as you say.”


The Robotic man repeated his words. The Queen lowered her head ready to dismiss him.


“How can I repair them here all the equipment is in the compound?”


“My sons will accompany you and the males to the compound. If you should not repair the army in time your females will die and then you will become host and I shall send my sons to another of your kind.”


Harold looked up at her. She seemed to be looking down at him. “Your children have added to my army as will you if you fail me.”


“How could you have planned all of this?”


“You watch us and we watch you. We are better than you soft skin.” She began hissing and more of the smaller Aliens ran into the pit and pulled out only the males.


Leonard looked at Harold as he approached. The Queen began hissing at him again.


“Not only will my sons accompany you but your own blood shall see you comply with my work.”


Harold turned towards one of the many caves openings and a familiar shadow appeared.

“Jason”

Leanna could see nothing in the darkness of this place Redd had brought her to. All she knew was that it was warm. She could feel his breath parting her hair as he studied her body while lying beside her. Her breathing formed a picture of her body to him. She was naked and his enormous talon hand gently touched the nipple on her right breast. He could feel her tremble. He rattled his spikes and lowered his head to the nipple and then he heard the rumbling of her stomach.

Redd knew that she was hungry. He reached above his head and plucked the fruit from the vine growing inside the cave. Leanna felt something round placed into her hands.


“You have fruit here.”


She heard him moving the vine from the wall. The moonlight flooded into the room. She looked down at the white fur she was laying on. It was the coat from one of the land creatures above. She didn’t think they ate meat but Redd was different. Leanna began eating the fruit. Redd listened to her eating. He wished to continue his exploration of her body.

Things would grow here. There had to be a place that was open to the elements if the vine grew here. Redd looked up as if he had heard something. He ran the bottom of his head over the top of hers and moved over her and then from the bed. She sat up to watch him walk out of the cave.

She slowly got off the four-foot high pillar and began looking around her new prison. She could smell blood from the recent kill. Leanna touched the wall and scratched it. It sparked a little. Leanna smiled and looked for something to use to cause more sparks to fly and dry vegetation to help create a fire. She was so busy searching the cave that she did not see the two brothers walk in behind her. Leanna found a small stone and some Grey vine that was excellent for burning and did not smoke. She heard the hissing. It was not Redd. She felt the felt the breath on her back and then she was back on the bed.

The two brothers communicated with each other and then began to approach the bed.
