Licker's Day Out
by
Me
I was so excited, it was my first day out of the Hive, and my first ride in a helicopter. I peered out the window at the city below, I could see thousands of dots that were the humans going about their daily business.
I looked in the other direction at my boss who was sitting in the seat next to me, staring out his window, with his blonde hair and black suit, wearing those dark glasses.
He was the first thing I saw when I became aware, staring down at me and the others like me through the glass window. I had walked my small body over to the glass and said hello, sticking my out, he just looked back with a smile on his face.
When we grew bigger he would let a group of humans into a large makeshift city built in the Hive, then he would let me and the others loose to chase them. The others would just go crazy, attacking anything that moved, but I would wait, stalk my meal stealthily until the right moment.
I remember the day when I was put into a large room by myself and the boss entered. He was in the same room as me, I couldn't believe it.
He held out his hand to me, a very small creature in it. I took the animal from him and ate it, then I let him stroke my head.
After that I was put into a different training area. The boss training me himself, my boss. He would give me a small creature if I obeyed his commands or did the right thing.
Now it was my first day out of the Hive.
I looked over at the helicopter pilot, I could smell his fear, every now and then I would breath next to his face, scaring him. This amused my boss.
Suddenly lights and alarms went off. "What's happening?" The boss shouted to the pilot.
"Our engines are failing," he yelled back, "oil pressure dropping! We're going down!"
Down? Down were?
My boss then pulled out something and strapped it to his back, the pilot doing the same thing. My boss gave me one last look before opening the door and jumping out, the pilot following. I just sat there, confused. Why would my boss leave? There was no where to go except down, and humans don't do too well when they go down from heights.
Then the helicopter jerked violently to one side, I dug my claws into the seat as it plummeted below, towards the city. I didn't like these helicopters, they were too unpredictable.
I looked out of the front window and saw as a building came rushing up towards me.
Then nothing.
