ADMIRATION
PREDATOR
I reached out and grabbed the sides of her arms from behind, she struggled and then I held her tighter.
I was looking forward to turning her around and seeing the fear in her eyes. Before I could, she froze and stood very still. Was this some sort of tactic, to see if I'd loosen my grip?. I then looked to her arms where I held them, they where changing colour. They were strange markings on her arms, turning from a dark pink, to black.
I released her, and she turned to face me instantly.
Her teeth were showing, as if to be growling at me. I looked to her eyes, there was no colour, nor was there any white in them, they were entirely black. After getting some distance from me, by stepping back several paces, she then stood in a slight crouch position, looking at me for a moment, she then stood up straight and pointed her finger at me, and said, "DO NOT TRY ME CREATURE, FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH"
"Stay alive by keeping out of my way".
I understood her as she spoke human, but she was obviously just challenging me, and if not" then I was her.
I crouched slightly and spread my arms out wide, showing her my blade in my right hand, and growling loudly at her.
Her eyes widened and she spoke again," I am warning you creature, this will not be good for you"
I couldn't help but think, that all her warnings she spoke of, was just an indication that this was going to be an interesting fight.
She then extended her right arm towards me and spread her fingers, as if to ask me to wait.
I couldn't wait anymore, I ran towards her with my blade held high. She dodged out the way by ducking under my arm and spinning around to the back of me, and then kicked me in the leg. My leg gave way and I roared out loud at her. Yes she was fast, but I had the strength, and I will use it.
We kept circling each other whilst keeping in a constant attack position. She kept looking at my blade, so I through it to the ground. I thought to myself "if unarmed combat is what she wants, then all the more interesting for me."
Keeping her hands up in a defensive guard, she rotated her hips towards her slightly forward right leg shifting her body over. This strange movement confused me a little, and then she simultaneously accelerated her right hand upwards, whilst at the same time dropping her left hand downwards, so it was roughly in line with her chest.
I quickly reacted before her impact, by raising my hands in a circular motion, in order to block her attack.
It worked! She was then very consistent with a series of counter attacks; I kept on blocking her successfully. Until she caught me of guard with a knee strike to my head, due to me been crouched to low. I wobbled back; loosing my balance, I fell backwards grabbing her arm and taking her down to the floor with me, as we hit the ground she quickly put her leg over my neck and grabbed my arm. She had me in an arm lock, for the moment anyway.
I was enjoying this to much. I let her think she had one over on me. I then raised my legs and flipped my body over, "now she was the one in trouble! I had her pinned to the ground in a dominant grappling position.
Whilst having her pinned to the ground, i stared into her eyes through my mask and couldn't help but to admire her fighting skills, it seemed to be that she was using a hybrid fighting technique.
I had a sense of wonder, and delight, and a somewhat pleased approval of her; she was beautiful, in a confusing way to me, Maybe she reminded me of the female warriors back home? Why was she inspiring such feelings inside me?
Suddenly more markings appeared on her body, they ran up her legs and up the sides of her torso. She looked at me shaking her head with disapproval to me having her pinned to the ground; she then smiled in a mischievous way.
"Aaarrr" every limb in my body stiffened as a shock flowed through my body, the pain was excruciating as the shock wave hit every organ in my body, I couldn't move at all from my kneeled position.
I looked at her whilst gritting my teeth, trying not to scream out loud with the pain. She stood in front of me and just stared at me, as i was shaking uncontrollably.
"I told you to leave me be"she said while shaking her head at me. She then turned and walked up to a nearby tree, she picked up a bag from the floor and turned back to face me again.
"I could have killed you, if I wanted too." she added, and then turned and started walking; she disappeared into the dark forest.
I was unable to move for an hour, slowly the pain eased and I started to move my limbs. This had not deterred me in the slightest, if anything I was well impressed, and soon I would be in pursuit of her.
SPECIES
I felt immense rage when it grabbed me and held me from behind. The fire inside me started to flare up, I was about to lose control, when it then released me.
Turning around to see my attacker, I was surprised to see it was the big creature from the lab. But he had a mask on this time, and he carried a deadly looking blade. He crouched in an attack mode, raising his weapon as if to frighten me.
I warned him, but he took no notice and came charging at me, I ducked under his arm and got a kick in, to the back of his leg.
"Right then if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you're going to get creature"i said to myself, I turned my attention to his blade and put my hands on my hips, to try and indicate that this fight wouldn't be fare. He seemed to understand and through his blade to the floor.
As we circled each other, I tried to egg him on, so he would make the first move, simply by stepping slightly forward. It worked he put his full body weight into a punch, I quickly dodged him again. I need to keep this up, hopping to use his own energy against him; I was trying to make him tire, so I could get some surprised manoeuvres in.
One of my manoeuvres worked, but with a big consequence, as he fell he pulled me to the ground with him. I managed to regain control, but he did a surprised manoeuvre of his own.
He had me pinned. Why was he just staring at me? Right that's it, I have had enough. I said, I started concentrating on the bit of strength I had, for my inner power. I sent a mild shock wave through his body paralysing him.
He defiantly was feeling the effects alright; I got to my feet and brushed the dirt from my body.
I collected my bag and gave the creature another warning, and then walked of into the forest.
Admiring the forest and its surroundings, I picked up the sound of running water, i tilted my head to try and listen to its whereabouts; I set off in the direction, i was sure it came from.
I came to a rocky feature with a small waterfall, a gathering of water at the bottom formed a water pool. I laid chest down on the pools banking and splashed my face with water; it was cool and refreshing.
I jumped in the pool fully dressed and ducked fully under the water; I resurfaced, and ran my fingers through my wet hair, i then Looked to the rocky steps leading up behind the waterfall, I decided to climb them and have a look.
I climbed to the top and stood at the back of the waterfall admiring the cave like features, and then looked back to the waterfall, I could see a large blurry figure in the middle of the waterfall that wasnt there before it was at the rocks edge, they was electricity sparks appearing all over the blurry figure, I then looked down to see splash marks stepping toward me.
Human
We crossed the field, the dogs were getting more eager, pulling their handlers towards a meadow.
The military officer, shouted out "were getting close men, keep your eyes pealed"
My legs couldn't take much more of this.
