Chapter 3: first meeting
Vex sat on a mound watching the sun go up. He hadn't talked much in the weeks since Luna died, and always went back to the same spot. No one knew, but it was where he first met Luna. They had both been little more than newborns then, starting their career of hunting and killing. Vex sighed, and began to remember.
The Predalien raced through the jungle, almost full size, avoiding the branches that whipped across her face, almost before she could see them. It was strange….it was almost like she hade been there before. She was congratulating herself on dodging the trees when Thunk!
So caught up in her thinking, she failed to notice the tree. Oh, yeah, some machine of death and destruction.
Vex sat there, and remembered………
He was racing, silently communicating to his clan mates with body language. "THERE, THERE" it screamed. They nodded. Luna in particular was already looking ahead while he shifted for the body language. She knew how to read him. They surrounded there prey, a juvenile kajara. They all were staring at it like their life depended on it. Which it did. In fact, so caught up in killing the juvenile, they forgot about the mother. And that females could change their skin patterns. Vex's clan mate to the left, Gux, was the first to explode, in a showering splash of red. His clan mate on the left soon followed. He took out his spear, trying to find the female, seeing Luna do the same. It all happened in a flash, but soon he found himself standing over the dead body of the female, with Luna doing the same with the juvenile. It had cost them all their clan mates in the hunting party, but Vex and Luna finally learned the power of teamwork.
She was still running through the jungle, and was being somehow led to a single spot. She gasped for breath as she found her destination. A single clearing with a tombstone of the Hunter's people. She walked over and looked at the names, and came with the oddest sense she knew them.
The next thing she knew was that she was clutching her head, and screaming.
Vex was awakened from his reminisces when a loud scream clawed through the air. He thought he heard it coming from the site of his clan mate's tombstone at the disaster. He raced through the jungle to the spot.
All she knew was pain. Pain and sense of amnesia, for reasons she didn't understand. But she knew she had to get out of there, and fast.
Vex was almost there, he could almost smell it. He had the strangest feeling there was another presence nearby. And it smelled like Luna.
She was almost there, she was almost too far away to have pain. She rounded a corner and…..
Vex rounded a corner and….
They collided.
