A/N: Nothing is mine

A/N #2: I had to redo this chapter because of the other chapter I added. Review please! (But no flames o_O)

I was creeping along, outside of the house in which the humans resided. I had to get in their cellar somehow, through a different way.

I slammed open the door that we had come through to enter the house. I was now outside, in the humans' backyard. I looked around, but it was hopeless. They were too well protected.

I glanced upward, and saw one of our ships glide by in the night sky. Somehow, that reassured me in a way, and at once, I was running around the yard, looking for a way into the basement. I was barely conscious of what I was doing, or where I was now. I was acting on pure instinct, like an animal. My thoughts were consumed by a primitive feeling telling me to keep running.

I finally caught a glimpse of what looked like a human mine shaft. After studying and monitoring Earth for so long, I knew that these were rare nowadays, and I was extremely fortunate to come across one. It wasn't even boarded up, so I didn't think the humans knew they had it. Perfect.

I crawled down the shaft quietly, hoping the humans had let their guard down. After I had crawled for about a minute, I began to hear the humans' thoughts…

"They've stopped clawing"-apparently Orion was coming to look for me- "But they're still here…somewhere."

"I'm gonna protect my family…no stupid aliens are gonna stop us…" came the thought of the younger adult male. He was the one from which many of these thoughts were coming.

I ignored the humans' thoughts and jumped down to the bottom of the shaft. The humans had boarded up the entrance…they weren't as dumb as they looked. I just sat there for now and watched the humans.

They were all huddled together, and they weren't talking much. However, their thoughts filled my head; it felt as if it was going to explode. They clearly loved each other very much…the two adult males, the male child, and the female child.

I kept watching them, almost forgetting that they were the enemy I was sent to destroy. They seemed so real, thinking and talking to each other. I didn't want to destroy them…I couldn't…

Well, what're you waiting for? asked a voice behind me. I jumped. I hadn't realized that Orion was behind me. Bust in there and kill those humans! he growled.

Um…Orion…I was thinking…why do we have to kill the humans? I asked, wondering why I was standing up to Orion, who could kill me just as easily as the humans.

What? he hissed.

Uh, well, couldn't we just…take them back to our planet and put them in a zoo or something? I asked.

Orion rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath. No, we couldn't put them in a zoo; humans have to be the most stubborn and violent species in the universe. They don't do well in captivity.

You just think they're stupid animals, but their thoughts and actions tell us they're more than that…they can feel love and compassion and- I started.

Humans are dumb beasts, OK? Orion said, raising his voice. They cannot feel compassion, and most certainly can't feel love. Celestino, I have been in the Force much longer than you, and take it from me, there hasn't been a single human who has valued something else before themselves, alright? Every human should be done away with as soon as possible…they're homicidal, brainless, greedy creatures, and that's it.

I looked at Orion, who was looking back at me with intense eyes. I knew he was hiding something. No one could express that much disgust towards a species just out of the blue. Humans had done something to Orion, and it must have been serious.

I glared out to the humans, not able to face Orion. I saw the little boy come close to the shaft opening, thinking, "Where are they? They're here, I know…"

I was once again acting on pure instinct, as I grabbed the human boy. I tried to pull him through the boards, which were now like prison bars, separating the civil species and the animals. But, judging from what Orion had just said, I didn't know which was which anymore.

I continued pulling the boy, but now the two adult males were pulling him back towards them. Orion was helping me, but we still weren't strong enough, because the human boy fell back into his home. I toppled backwards onto Orion, and quickly stood up. We've got 'em. Good job, Celestino. They'll think we've given up, but we'll be waiting upstairs. Let's go… said Orion, jumping up the shaft.

I took one last look at the humans, sighed, and followed my Clan leader up the shaft, but not before hearing the young adult's thoughts as he nursed the boy, who was sick somehow: "It's OK. Wake up, Morgan…we'll defeat the beasts. Wake up."

Hehehe…the new, improved chapter 5! Yay! Please R&R! And thanx to everyone again for their reviews (way more than I thought I'd get!) ^_^
