"'There she is!' 'Get it!'" The voices snarled in the distance. Voices coming out in a language of vicious growls and hisses.
A vibrant pink light shoots out toward the horizon, past the stars and one of the planets moons; a laser, blasted from a weapon in the direction of the voices. Blood. Paints a splash of red over the stars as it flies through the air before splatting over the already maroon soil of the planet.
Whose blood is that?
There is a sharp intake of breath hardly heard above the noise of the night.
My arm... It's mine... My blood...
Feet stop running, skidding on the soil as a cloud of reddish dust floats skyward. Sharp dangerous teeth faintly tinted pink are bared. A venomous growl reverberates all around, constant, becoming more filled with rage as each second drags on.
The voices grow closer. More shots are fired but they do not hit their target who is shielded by an unseen force.
Footsteps now, agile and almost silent, grow closer, and closer, before stopping completely, surrounding their target, still releasing feral growls.
"You shouldn't have done that..." a female voice hisses. Eyes glaring death at the dark figure of one of those that surrounds her. "I might've let you keep your filthy little lives if only you hadn't done that..." Her voice a harsh whisper of the night.
And then she is gone. A destructive scream rips through the night. And then there is blood. Lots of it. So much from just one body. It sickens her. Two more screams before the other shadows finally are able to reach their weapons. But they've waited too long. They wouldn't have had a chance anyway, not after they spilled the blood that painted the sky.
Bodies, everywhere, littering the ground and spilling onto it their tainted blood. Blood that now painted her clothes and stained her hands. That stained my hands. The pain slicing my arm, for now forgotten as I felt only disgust of these bodies, disgust for my race, disgust of their blood that will permanently stain my hands.
I felt no regret, no guilt, no remorse. None of them deserved it. What I did was doing them a favor, and it's that thought that made me feel sick.
