Author's Note: Again, thank you all so much for the lovely support, it means a lot to me! I read every Review and messages I get from everyone and I appreciate them all! Feel free to also pm me with any questions. I'm so sorry for taking so damn long to update. Been over a year already? I'm really sorry! I had a huge writer's block and I had no idea how to progress in this chapter, that's why this one might be the shortest chapter I plan on doing for this story. I'm so sorry that you had to wait so long for an update and then it turns out to be just a small chapter. Also, did you know that is going to be a new Predator film?! So exciting! (Ps: Keep in mind English is not my first language.)
Warning: It will be rated M later on… you know why. Hehe
Status: Help! I need a Beta Reader to spot the mistakes and help me with fighting scenes!
2. Surviving
Out of nowhere military cars started to appear and pass both of them with speed, they open fire but that only scared the two monsters away. One of the cars stopped aside the two sisters and out of the car a soldier that seemed to be from a higher rank addressed the girls.
"What are you doing here? The city it's not safe! Leave!" He yelled at them like he was lecturing his troops. Karin could barely open her mouth, she didn't know what to say or what to ask, everything was happening too fast. Amaya's strong grip on her hand finally brought Karin back from her thoughts.
"W-What is happening, sir? What are those things?! O-Our parents… They're…! Please help us!" Karin said in shock with tears in her eyes. This was too much for her, she was starting to break. The soldier just looked at the driver of the military jeep.
"We already have our hands full. Just go! You're on your own." He simple said ignoring her request. He seemed to be hiding something.
"Aren't you here to help us?! Just save my sister, then! Please!" Karin begged, but these military forces looked hostile and she got the feeling they were here to contain the incident and maybe hide unnecessary information that could be release to the outside and not properly to help out civilians.
The soldier looked at the girls and couldn't stop but worry about them, especially the younger one with a whole life still ahead of her. Even though he belonged to a special unit that was trained for harsh environments, he couldn't just leave them there but he still had a mission to complete. He couldn't be as heartless as the orders that were given to him.
"Sir… We have to move." The other soldier that was driving the military jeep hurried his superior interrupting his thoughts.
When the superior was about to open his mouth to give his final decision a high screech was heard only a few meters away.
"There are more of them coming!" Another soldier running yelled from down the street accompanied by three other soldiers that tried their best to shoot the creatures only to be jumped on and quickly killed by the strange monsters.
The platoon quickly moved and assumed its defense position and shot the upcoming creatures. But the Xenomorphs were too many and quick for the already low in number platoon. Orders being shouted, screams, shots, screeches from the creatures and people being killed were heard in the entire neighborhood.
Karin grabbed her sister and took refugee next to a military jeep. She sat there on the floor hugging tight her crying sister; all she could hear was chaos. Her hand trembled in fear while she tried to caress her sister's hair to calm her down, but it was useless. She too was in complete fear with tears rolling down her face; Karin only thought they weren't going to survive.
Suddenly Karin felt her little sister being abruptly taken from her arms.
"No! Amaya!" Karin cried desperately, thinking one of the monsters was going to kill her sister. When she looked up she identified a familiar uniform, it was the superior from early. He carried Amaya and ran as fast as he could, Karin got up and tried to follow them close.
In the middle of the deadly chaos Karin was falling behind and they couldn't wait, she couldn't keep up with them. More and more creatures were coming. Suddenly an explosion, the shockwave and the noise made Karin trip and fell hard on the floor, her legs just gave in, and she started to feel exhausted, both mentally and physically. Karin slowly lifted her head from the ground and watched as her sister was put in a car screaming and calling for her. From the corner of her eye she could identify some civilians that were probably hiding nearby also trying to reach the car and the safety they thought those soldiers could provide. But the superior one only waited from some of his soldiers, made a sign and the car just drove off at full speed leaving desperate people screaming and calling for help behind. 'At least Amaya is safe now.' Karin thought with tears in her eyes. Fortunately the explosion seemed to scatter the deadly creatures due to the loud explosion's noise.
Soon enough, the civilians that were hiding before regretted leave their hiding spots to chase that car; they were now exposed to the creatures that were coming back. Once again, screams and hisses started to be heard from down the street where the creatures were before, they were tenacious.
Karin tried to get up, but she fell right back on her knees. All of her body was feeling numb, her legs were hurting, but still Karin refused to give up. She tried one more time, gathering all of strength she pushed her body up and finally managed to stay on her feet. Karin thought she might have a better chance at hiding in the woods, since the city seemed to be infested with those things. Taking advantaged that the creatures were distracted with others she made a run for it. It was now just a matter of survival.
Meanwhile Setg'in observed from a tree how the city was chaotic, things were escalating quickly. The Predalien managed to escape, but Setg'n had an idea to where it could be heading since the creature was in a haste to impregnate as many humans as it could.
Suddenly he heard a rustle in the bushes and quickly turned around clicking his mandibles and changing his mask visions to examine what was coming, activating his camouflage device he waited. Out of the bush a xenomorph, drooling as it carried a body, probably some fresh kill. Setg'in jumped right in front of the Kainde Amedha and deactivated his cloaking device so the creature could see him. The xenomorph hissed and launched at him, which Setg'in was already expecting so the creature was no match for him. He swiftly dodged the attacked and pierced the creature's head with his wrists blades leaving it dead at his feet. Then Setg'in felt something on his right shoulder, he touched it with his hand and examined it with one of the various visions available within his mask, it was saliva from the Kainde Amedha. Setg'in eyes widen and he quickly looked up. On the top branches of the trees stood three xenomorphs glaring, it was like the creatures had prepared him a trap. He roared at the three sneaky xenomorphs making them screeched as a response as they jumped down on him.
Karin was running through the woods, tears ran down her face, her legs wanted to give in, but she had to push further. The fear of encountering more of those monsters made her run as never before. She just hoped the woods were at least safer than the city. She ran with such haste that she failed to see a small rock on the soil, making her trip and fall hard on the ground. Karin just lay there; face down, bawling and clenching her fists. Flashes of her dead parents and her screaming sister ran through her mind, her life was ruined and she didn't understand why all of this was happening to her.
While laying there Karin heard some strange loud growling, it made her lift her head up so quickly she almost snapped her own neck. 'More of those monsters!' was her immediate thought. The worst was that the sound seemed to be too close to where she was. Karin crawled and looked around to try and find some place safe for her to hide. Fortunately, she managed to hide under some large tree roots good enough for her to fit and stay unnoticed. She just laid there in a fetal position, hugging her knees, trying to appear as small as she could and hoping everything was just a terrible nightmare.
