Chapter 2: Watchful eyes
When school ended. Cierra walked to the park to do her homework. She climbed up the tree and admire the view of the light blue turning slowly to a deep dark color. It was getting close to 8:00 and she packed her things and left for home. As she was walking she felt she was being watched. Cierra looked around and saw no one was following her and watched to see if anyone was. She continued to walk home but that feeling still lingered in her as she walk block by block.
She stopped and huffed in frustration.
That feeling was still there. She looked up on the roof tops and scanned intently for any sign of movement or a sound. She could see in the dark better then anyone she knew and had helped her in the past getting lost in the late hours in the night.
She stood there looking and hearing for the slightest sound and movement.
"whose there?" she said softly.
Nothing happened.
She glanced at her watch and gasped, it was 10:00. Cierra ran back home, hoping her brother wouldn't go irate again of her coming home this late in the hour. She took the ally way, crossed the street ahead of her and rang the bell to her apartment. No answer.
"Crap, he must have been working later again" she growled.
She looked round the area to see if anyone was watching her. No sign of anyone besides the feeling she had coming home.
Cierra took a deep breath and gripped the edges of the brick wall and scaled up the building. Her room was up on the 15 floor and she climbed the wall like its like it was those cheap rock climbing walls.
Cierra pushed the window open and crawled in and exhale deeply. Its been awhile that she climbed and missed the rush of heights that could surly kill her. When she was 12, the teachers and student were in a panic when they saw her on the roof of the school that was 2 story's high. One of her teachers pleaded to her to come down. She laugh to her self remembering the smug look she gave her before she jumped towards the flag pole that was 7 feet away from her, giving everyone the heart attack of the life time.
I was 10:45 and she felt tired of the days stress. As changed into her black short shorts and white tank top, the feeling of stared at was coming back again. Cierra exited the room and went to the door to the roof, the cold breeze on her skin gave her a shudder as walked to the edge of the building.
There she stared across the street to an abandon building were the vegetation took over it, on top of a building there was a old willow tree that stood and it was Cierra's primary forces. There was something, or someone there, Staring at her. She stood, clenching her fist's, as the wind blow harder forcing her hug her self.
She knew there was someone staring at her, and she wanted to know who and now, but fatigue got the best of her and walked to the door.
But before her went back, she turned to the tree and said under her small shivering frame.
"I see you." and went back to her room.

The Yautja POV
When the clocked predator saw the ooman returned to her cambers, he sighed deeply as he uncloaked himself. Stunned of how she stared it him even tho he was clearly hidden. Something was not right and needs to study this further.
*This yautja was 8 feet tall, slim but had a well toned body. His skin was light gray, greenish color, and had coal colored splotches on his shoulders, on the middle of his chest and on his thighs. He may look young to an ooman, but he old and well experienced hunter, He would in his later 30's in human years. He has brought his son, Hierro, along with his brother , Dono to join him on this hunt.*
(for the sake of no confusion and laziness, his name will be Coal)
Coal played back the encounter of this ooman in his helmet to get a good look at her. She had clearly had sensed him somehow. This ooman had made coal curious of her ability, The fact when he saw that she can climb the building with such grace only fulled his curiosity towards her.
But there was something else about her, something that brings back memories of the last time he had hunted on this blue planet. Their have been many ooman's that he came across in his time of hunting but this ooman, this female, brings back something painful and he can explain why.
Coal will follow and study this female to find out what connections he has with her, but will not tell his brother in fear that will attack the ooman.
As he left the tree to processed his hunting, he stopped to think of those word she said to him made him shudder.
"I see you." He said hazily and then left.
Man I was thinking all day on this chapter and wondered what their names would be.
