Chapter 20: Pain and Surprise

I wake up the next morning to the sounds of purring, I open my eyes and look around and see Creeper looking at me, I rub my eyes and look over at Annie's spot, she is still asleep, I look at the clock, its 8:10AM.

"Creeper...your purring is too loud...im tirrrreeeddd!" I lay my head back down on his chest and cuddle closer to him, half way laying on his body.

"Sorry, I'm just excited..."

"...Why..."

"Can't you sense it?"

"All I can sense is my mind yelling at me to go back to sleep..." I swipe my hair out of my face, my eyes closed.

He chuckles, "I'll tell you what I'm sensing later, when your awake."

I mumble something and fall back asleep.

I wake up to Annie shaking me, "Alma! Wake up!"

I groan and roll onto my side, "Alma, you have to get up. I have to go back to the hospital for the doctors to check on my now-gone baby." She chuckles slightly.

I look at her and look around, Creeper is gone. I remember a foggy moment when I thought Creeper woke me up, I don't know. I don't remember, might have been a dream.

I get off the bed and look at Annie, "I'm gonna leave through the window, your mom asks when I left say it was really early, ok?"

"Sure."

I smile, "C'ya later." I walk over to her window and take off the screen and open it and fly out it, heading back to my house to go to sleep, I'm still on my nocturnal schedule.

I feel a sharp pain in my left leg, I growl quietly and look at my leg, there is some kind of dart in it, I stop and fly in place and pull the dart out. My body slowly starts going numb, my wings flap irregularly and I fall to the ground. I slam into the ground on my side in a woods, I screech quietly, I can't feel my body.

I see a group of five men surround me, "We got her! Cage her up before the male comes. Put that collar around her neck!"

The men grab my arms and legs. I growl and try biting them, only to snap my mouth a couple times, I show them my teeth. They pay no attention to my wimpy threats and snap a tight collar around my neck and throw me into a large cage on the back of a truck and strap the cage down. I start feeling my body again, I screech loudly for Creeper and a bolt of electricity comes from my neck and flows throughout my body. I screech quietly in pain and see a man with a remote, "You call for that male of yours again, your going to be in a hell lot of pain!"

I see a black shadow fly over us, "I might not have to." Creeper lands on the top of the cage, his mandibles up, wings spread, he roars in anger and tackles one of the men, "Creeper no!" I struggle and slam against the bars of the cage, sensing that one of the men have holy water.

The man yells in pain as Creeper tears into him, another man stabs Creeper, he screeches in pain.

"C'mon! Lets get the hell outta here!" the men shoot bullets at Creeper, filled with holy water, he screeches in pain and collapses on the ground weakly. "Creeper!"

Creeper looks at me as the men get in the truck, three in the back with me, two in the truck. Creeper growls and stands up shakily, the truck starts driving out of the woods.

Creeper growls and flies after the truck, one of the men in the back with me attempt shooting Creeper, missing. Creeper picks up the pace, flying faster. I slam against the cage bars and the man with the remote shocks me again, I screech in pain, Creeper howls in anger and flies faster, catching up quickly.

The man with the gun shoots Creeper in the stomach, he screeches in pain, slows a bit, the man shoots him again and he stops flapping his wings and crashes to the ground, too much holy water in his veins to follow any longer.

"Don't let them hurt you..."

I whimper and a tear goes down my face, "Ok...I won't..."

"Protect the baby..."

My eyes widen, I'm pregnant...? That's probably why he was excited, I guess it wasn't a dream... "Ok..."

We arrive about a half hour later at an airport, they load me into the private plane and take off, and my capturers remain at the airport.

I fall asleep.

I wake up about four hours later and get unloaded into a very large, security infested containment center. I look and read a sign that says 'Creature Containment and Entertainment Center of California' also known as 'CCECC'.

A worker of the CCECC pushes my cage on a cart and into the containment center, the containment center looks like a giant hospital, or a very sanitized and clean insane asylum. I see a clock in the distance on a wall, its 2:12AM. I get taken to an indestructible barred cell, the worker releases me into the cell and quickly shuts the indestructible metal door.

My cell has one small, surprisingly clean bed, the two walls are see-through, I can see the other creatures beside me, there are none at the moment. I feel for the collar that was around my neck, its gone. I guess they took it off while I was sleeping. I sigh and sit on the bed, the bed is connected to the see-through wall. There is one small window in my cell, it has indestructible glass, there are no other windows in any of the other cells. There is a hallway outside my cell door, in front of all the other cells, there is 9 cells in this hallway.

Wow, these people actually have feelings for us, or at least a little bit.

A couple hours later I hear a demonic female scream coming from down the hall, I stand up and run to the bars and get shocked, I whimper slightly in pain, there is a shock field between the bars, great...I look down the hall and see a girl in a tattered black skinny dress, wearing no shoes, her hair is pretty straight like mine, but not as long. Or purple, her hair is black. Two men are holding her by her arms, she is flailing, trying to get out of their grips. They toss her into the right cell beside me and slam her door shut and walk away from her cell, she slams her fists against her door, "Hey fucking bastards! Come back here so I can carve your stomachs open like a fucking pumpkin and eat your fucking organs!"

"If I were you Id just calm down and be quiet, they aren't coming back."

She looks at me, "What do you know?"

"More then you apparently..."

She stops and turns towards my cell, towards me, she puts her hands on her hips, "What did you just say?"

I sigh, "Do I really have to repeat myself?"

She growls and sits on her bed, I lay down on my bed and put my hand on my lower stomach, I smile slightly and take my hand off my stomach before anyone notices and I pull the thin blanket over my body and eventually fall asleep.
