Cat

She slowly crept out from behind Zeb. Zeb says she's alright... She thought, her own voice inside her head shaking. The woman's eyes and voice were as gentle as a mother's, which brought the memory of Cat's mother to her mindmind and caused tears to well up. Quickly wiping her eyes, she let out a yawn, suddenly feeling tired. All of the events must've finally got to her. Hera slowly walked overover, speaking in a calm tone, "I'll show you to an open cabin so you can get some sleep." Cat hesitated for a moment, then slowly followed Hera up a ladder. As she did so, she began to feel afraid. She ignored it for awhile as she followed her down the hall and stopped at the door. Hera opened it for Cat, revealing a room with a bunk bed. Other than that, it was mostly empty. Before the wolf creatures attacked, Cat lived a happy life. She had her parents, her brother, her friends. They were gone, unless this was all just a bad dream. Thanking Hera, she crawled into the bed closest to the floor and lied down. Hera left , leaving the door open. Cast should've fallen asleep, but she found it harder than she thought. Every time she closed her eyes in an attempt to fall asleep, immediate flashbacks of the invasion on Earth played before them. Tears welled up, but she quickly wiped them away. Eventually, she forced herself to fall sleep, ignoring the flashbacks.

Jacen

Jacen had just do finished eating his dinner when his mother walked back in. "I'm done!" he announced to her. She smiled and grabbed his plate, "Don't forget, we have dessert for later." Jacen squealed in excitement, but was soon hushed by Hera. "We have a guest with us, but she is sleeping. Use low voices, please." He nodded in acknowledgement, then went to go find Zeb and Rex. When he couldn't find either of them, he went to his room. When he sat on his bed, he could feel sorrow and fear. It wasn't his feelings, but rather, someone else's. Grabbing his stuffed tooka, Caleb, he searched for whoever the emotions belonged to. He found a room that he is hide in when playing hide and seek, and opened the door. The light revealed someone laying down on the bottom bunk, shivering. He took one step forwards, but halted when she stirred and shifted her head towards him. Her swore the step was as quiet as he could be, then realized that she could sense him.

Hera

"So, Cat could possibly be a survivor from Earth? How in the world did she avoid all of it?" Hera asked Zeb and Rex. They both shrugged, obviously not knowing the answers themselves. Hera sighed, "We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning, then." At that moment, Jacen walked into the hanger bay. "Mom, I'm tired," he yawned. Hera smiled, getting up and climbing up the ladder to her son. She walked her son to his room, when she noticed his stuffed tooka was gone. "Jacen," she asked. "Where did Caleb go?" Jacen shrugged, but Hera could see that he knew.

"Jacen."

"Okay, okay. I may have visited the guest by accident."

Hera was about the reply when he spoke up again, "She was scared, I could sense it. And she could sense me. But... we spoke with our minds. When I asked why she was scared, she couldn't tell me. So, I gave her Caleb." She was stunned, not knowing what to say. He even had his father's kind heart. She hugged Jacen, "I'm so proud of you."

Elsewhere...

"Lord Lyrax, sir. We've lost contact with three of our men."

The throne room was dark, the scent of others strong. The black wolf-like creature had took a knee at the base of the throne, a large, obsidian chair. Sitting in it was an orange wolf-like creature. Lyrax hissed, "Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, since when have we lost one of our men to these disgusting humans?" Shadow did not lift his head, "Never. But before we lost contact, they reported another human and some sort of beast. They were both armed." Lyrax shifted in his seat. "An armed human? Since when was our prey armed? Never mind that. Any word on the whereabouts of Echo?" Shadow shook his head, "No, sir. He seems to have vanished." Lyrax let out an irritated sigh, "You are dismissed. Find the humans and eradicate them." Shadow stood up, saluting his leader. He then turned and exited the room. Since when did hunting humans become allowed? This does not feel right...

And with that, Chapter 2 is complete! Now, if you're wondering what exact species these folks are, I'll put more focus into them in later chapters. Enjoy!
