Sorry for the wait. Apparently there was a problem: I posted it, but it didn't come up. Sorry. Anyway...

It's me again! No war yet, soon though. Soon. Well, I've got 2 things to tell you. First off I strongly encourage that you read that wiki article I mentioned in the last two chapters and leave a comment. Again you don't need an account to leave one, just scroll down to the bottom of the page and type it up! It would mean a lot. Thanks. Ok here's the second thing: after reading this chapter could you leave a comment? I would like it so I know if you guys are liking the story so far. Well anyway here's the chapter. Oh and an FYI, this chapter is from Finn's Prospective, and will probably be the only POV chapter. There maybe be one more, not sure yet. Just lettin you know. Enjoy!

Chapter 10- They're Not Fish

(Finn's POV)

Behind the figures on the computer screen, the sun finally had dipped below the horizon. It was night. In a couple of hours, it would be midnight. A new day.

One less day until it happened.

I can't stop time; no one can. But it was waning away very rapidly. Another thing I have no control of. But Jake had told me that time goes at the same speed constantly. Does it?

"What will they think of us? Not having a door or anything to hide our weapons and everyone?" Alex asked, wanting an answer from anyone.

Connor looked at everyone and said, "Never mind that. Obviously they are humans that received the message,"

"Woah, wait a minute there." Jake interrupted. "Me and Finn met these people down in a bomb shelter that looked like humans but were really gross fish people. Ugh." He shuddered.

I raised an eyebrow and looked down at him. "We didn't know that until they took their hats off, and they weren't that disgusting. All they had were gills, and weird looking heads, and don't breath normally, and... okay, maybe they are kind of disturbing."

"For all we know you could be a fish person," Jake grumbled and looked toward the side, crossing his arms.

I took ahold of his squishy, fat, moldable face and turned it to look up at me. Then I rapidly patted my skin and tugged at my hair. "Do I look like a fish? Do I? Huh?"

"Relax dude, I'm just messing with you." Jake said in a calm voice, then smiled.

Outside, I could hear the hum of the jeep's motors. I'm not a mechanic or anything, but the hole in the mufflers of those things really needed a check. What I'm trying to say is, the trucks were very loud. Along with the dirt bikes, it made a very large ruckus. I covered my ears and shouted, "What are we going to do when they get here?" The others copied my actions. "Will they attack?"

Connor turned to me and yelled, "I don't think so! They are escapees from our land and will certainly know Alex and I, Valde Terra was not a large continent; but if they do, we have weapons!"

The sound of the vehicles was louder than ever. "Oh, alright!" I replied. Finally, it stopped. All engines were cut, doors open and shut, and kick-stands went down. No dog, rat, vampire, or human made a dared to disrupt the silence. The footsteps of boots and sneakers approached the opening of the secret room.

A figure stepped in. "You call?" It asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, we did." Alex stepped up.

The figure's hands balled into fists. He whispered, "No man shall live unless-"

"... they deserve to live." Connor finished the guy's sentence. A small smile formed on his face. He slowly started to walk toward the stranger.

The figure returned the smile. He walked too, and stepped into the light. "Connor, my man! What are you doing here?" He looked a little shorter than Connor, but the around the same age. Take one or two years. The man had short brown hair. He wore a black leather jacket that was zipped up, faded jeans, standard work boots, and had a rifle strapped to his back. I couldn't make out what kind yet. He held out his hand in front of him.

Connor took it and greeted, "Ben! How'd you get here so fast, dude?"

In the background, I could hear Alex say "Ello, Benjamin ol' chap." sarcastically.

"Hold on one second." Ben halted. He turned to look behind him and called out the 'door', "Hey guys, get in here!"

About 30 other humans stepped in. I couldn't believe it, more humans! I was about to shout that out, but held it in and kept my cool.

"Oh, and more's on their way." added Ben. "You want to know how we got here so fast? I'll tell you. It's really wierd actually. I'll start from the beginning-"

He was interrupted by a beeping noise. Ben rolled up his left sleeve some and glanced at the watch he had on. "It's midnight." he said flatly.

Midnight. Time was running out.

Review, please?
