Hello again everybody, I have made a rule for this chapter. I am not updating until I get a total of 20 reviews. There are already 10 so it can't be that hard. I need the reviews because I'm out of ideas for more chapters. This chapter will be focused on Vernexa and her 'evil' plans. Also I am thinking about writing a story to Vernexa's origins. If anyone wants me to just P.M. me. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

She was furious that Tharnux had tricked her. And all for that human, it was clear to her now. If she wanted Tharnux she would have to get rid of Josh. She was lying down in the underground burrow that she had come to call her home. There were small roots hanging from the roof and she had dislocated her shoulder when she was pushed off the tree and part of her bone was pushed through her exoskeleton causing a fair amount of bleeding. It hurt every time she put weight on it. She needed help otherwise she wouldn't survive. But the only people that would have been able to help her were now sworn enemies. She could try to become friends with them and take Josh when they wouldn't expect it. Yes, that was the plan. She would somehow befriend them and eventually work her way into Tharnux's arms. He would finally be hers, but Tharnux needed a reason to let go of Josh. If she just killed him Tharnux would never forgive her. She had to think carefully before deciding that Josh needed to be seen with someone else. Tharnux would never forgive him for something like that and I would be there to 'comfort' him. She was about to set the plan into action but she didn't know how she could get them to be her friend. That's when she thought of her plan to get closer to them

Tharnux was waking up to an unusually hot feeling. He though it was Josh hugging him or sleeping on top of him but when he noticed something flickering to the left he jumped up and hissed at it threateningly. Josh looked towards Tharnux and laughed at the fact that he was hissing at the fire he had built. "Tharnux it's alright" Josh said "It's just fire. It will heat food so that I can eat it" he finished. 'Why can't you just eat the same food that I eat?' Tharnux protested clearly disliking the fire. "Because it will make me sick" Josh replied. 'Why' Tharnux asked still not understanding. "Because humans can't eat the same stuff as you. There is stuff called bacteria and humans can't process it as good' Josh said with slight annoyance. Tharnux finally gave up just trusting Josh to know what he was doing. 'I love you Josh' Tharnux said as he wrapped his arms around Josh's waist and rested his chin on Josh's shoulder. "I love y-" Josh was cut off by a screeching sound outside. 'Vernexa' Tharnux said as he stepped in front of Josh and prepared for a fight. There was another painful screech outside and Tharnux slowly began walking forwards. He got to the large boulder acting as a door and moved it about 30 centimetres so that he could see through a crack. He looked out and saw Vernexa sitting down holding her right arm as blood trickled through her hand. She didn't sound healthy but Tharnux thought she deserved it for trying to separate him and Josh. She screeched again painfully before calling out 'Please Tharnux I need your help' she said. 'How do I know that you're not lying' he replied. Vernexa removed her hand from her shoulder and the blood started gushing out. Tharnux could see here shoulder blade sticking out as well, she must have hit the ground really fast, thought Tharnux. He turned around and told Josh what had happened and how thought that they should just leave Vernexa. Josh refused to leave her though. He couldn't just leave her like that. "Move the bolder out of the way" he instructed Tharnux. 'What! You can't let her in here!' Tharnux replied. 'Don't you remember what happened?' he asked Josh. "Yeah, I do but" Josh started "We can't just leave her like that" he finished rubbing his arm nervously. 'Ok, fine then' Tharnux agreed. The bolder was moved enough so that she could fit through and Josh called her in. as soon as she stepped inside the cave Tharnux had his tail up against her throat in case she tried anything. 'Please' she said weakly before collapsing on the floor from blood loss. Josh could hardly help at all because if he touched her blood he would burn himself. Tharnux wouldn't let him anywhere near her until the wound was clean. Once the wound was cleaned of all the blood outside it Josh walked over and looked at the injury. "I can fix it" he said "But it will hurt her a lot" he finished with sympathy in his voice. 'Just do it' Tharnux said not really caring. Josh rested the palm of his hand on her shoulder blade and pushed as hard as he could. The bone jolted back into place and Vernexa sat up screeching from the pain. She grabbed her arm as her tail flailed wildly from the pain. When she had finally calmed down the bleeding had started again. She sat on the floor whimpering when she asked 'Tharnux? Can you help with the wound' weakly. 'No' Tharnux replied simply. 'Please Tharnux? I can't stop the bleeding' she whimpered. 'No' Tharnux stated again. "Tharnux, can you do it for me?" Josh asked. He looked at josh for a moment before walking towards Vernexa. He grabbed hold of her arm roughly and she yelped in pain. Tharnux extended his inner mouth and started making the black residue stuff that currently covered Josh's hand. Vernexa started purring loudly and Tharnux twisted her to make her stop. She yelped at the sudden pain causing Josh, who was standing close by to watch how Tharnux made the black residue, to jump back in surprise. Vernexa was thinking of something, once she agreed with herself she set her plan into action. Once Tharnux had finished secreting the black residue he stepped back to make sure that her arm had stopped bleeding. Then before Tharnux could say anything Vernexa rolled over and as she was getting up started rubbing her head against Tharnux's crotch. She purred as loud as she could while she did so hoping the vibrations would help give Tharnux more pleasure. Tharnux stood there surprised as to what was currently happening, he caught himself purring and quickly stopped himself as he stepped back grabbing Vernexa by her injured arm and pulled her to her feet. Vernexa let out a sharp yelp of pain when she felt Tharnux squeezing down on her injury. She quickly stepped away from him to stop the pain. Tharnux realised that she was now standing between him and Josh. He hissed a warning as he circled around her and stood next to Josh. Tharnux wrapped his arms around Josh in a possessive manner. Vernexa looked away because she didn't want to see the human touching what would soon be hers. Tharnux and Josh walked over to the wall opposite Vernexa a lay down holding each other in their arms. Tharnux pulled Josh into a kiss sucking on his tongue earning moans in return. Tharnux released Josh as he prepared for sleep, wrapping his tail and arms around Josh to ensure his safety.

Whew, finally finished this chapter. I got writer's block half way through and had to find something else to do for half an hour while my brain restarted. Feel free to ask me any questions and Don't Forget to Review!
