Chapter 2: More Life
Now of course just because he was a carnivore doesn't mean he's a heartless beast, he's just, too tiny to have a heart, or a brain for that matter. But that doesn't mean he cannot feel love. But again, Nectusus had never seen another creature in his life, so just imagine the shock of seeing another cell.
Nectusus was drifting along what he liked to call the tide pool looking for meat, but always seeming to find plants.
"Ick, why are these plants even here, I'm the only one who ever sees them?" He questioned, seeming offended at the lack of food.
Nectusus the had grown very much since first morsel and liked the power of it. And it seemed that the meat grew with him, because no matter how much he grew there always seemed to be meat, no matter how far away. But to his dismay the plants did this too.
The purple organism finally lost it, he started to laugh, and laugh, and laugh. The horribly crazy sound was so loud, it could have been heard from feet away, which was astonishing, since he was so tiny.
"Excuse me, why are you acting so crazy sir?"
Nectusus turned around and his insane laughter turned into a terrified scream.
"What is wrong sir?"
"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh!"
"Sir?"
"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh!"
"SHUT UP… sir."
"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh!"
"Done?"
Nectusus shook his head and looked at the fellow cell. He was narrow oval that was peach colored, something the purple cell had never seen before, and it had four eyes trailing down its person. And the most shocking part was the tail that looked astonishing similar to his own.
"Hi there," Said the newcomer cautiously, fearing he was a nutjob. "My name is Minno, and you are?"
"Crazy."
"Well hello there crazy."
"No, no, no, no!" Denied Nectusus, "I'm Nectusus, this is crazy."
"Where's crazy? Do you have and imaginary friend?" Questioned Minno.
Nectusus inwardly sighed at the stupidity of the new life form. Then he asked if there was any other of his kind. As they swam off together, the large purple one asking the slightly smaller one questions, Nectusus learned of many things. But the one that shocked him most was that there was more life! Hundreds of other cells just swimming around, and he hadn't met one until now.
As the two came just a little farther ahead, the reached life, tons of creatures Nectusus had never seen, varying in shapes and sizes! Different colors and aromas, just waiting to be discovered! And a little to the right there was meat! Tons of the tiny bits and pieces! Nectusus fainted dead away.
A dreadful and annoying voice woke up Nectusus, "Hellooooooo, Hellooooooooooooo."
He opened his eyes and saw Minno standing jus overhead. A sudden and familiar smell overtook Nectusus. Minno was about to open his talkative mouth again when Nectusus struck.
"OW!" Shouted the shrimpy cell, "WHAT THE SPODE WAS THA-
And that was the end of Minno, as he exploded into three pieces of meat that were even more delicious than the kind that float around everywhere. As Nectusus gobbled them up, he considered his actions.
"On one hand," he considered out loud. "I killed my best and only friend for only three mealy pieces of meat when there are hundreds over there, on the other hand, that was best meat ever! Oh well, no harm done."
Nectusus then decided to do a little exploring of the new environment. After a few more Minnos that were discovered and, much to Nectusus's joy, eaten, he felt another urge, another uncontrollable urge. He let out a loud screech that spread far and loud, sounding sort of like a cricket. It was immediately answered by a similar one, sounding a little bit fainter.
The carnivorous cell's heart leapt for joy and he wanted to yell he was there but he couldn't find the nerve, so he swam. He swam farther and farther until he saw someone else. Then, as Nectusus got closer, he realized that that someone else was another, well, Nectusus.
"Oh my Spode, it's another one!" said Nectusus and the new Nectusus at the same time, the latter being more feminine the original.
Then they fell in love…

Harikone was excited. That's all that needed to be said, Harikice was pregnant and he was the happiest cell in the tide pool. But of course, Harikone was actually Nectusus, and Harikice was the female Nectusus he met two years ago, but they had to invent names because they couldn't call each other Nectusus that would have been weird. But anyway, Harikice was pregnant! Harikone was going out to celebrate with a few Minno he convinced were 'coming over for dinner,' when he saw an orange cell with to spikes coming off of its head. The same delicious smell was coming out of it.
Fearing he would scare his 'guests,' Harikone sent the idiotic cells behind a rock while he dealt with the newly discovered species. As he charged forward, his mouth chomping in anticipation, the new cell held his ground. This surprised the experienced cell but didn't stop him as he continued his headstrong rampage.
He hit his mark, and even though the orange one was hit, the purple on exploded with meat because he was punctured with two spikes.
"Delicious." Said the spiked victor as he gleefully gobbled down the pieces of meat.
Hope you liked that, evolution is coming next. What path with the Nectusus take and who will eat who. Sorry about the main character death, reviews please.
