Chapter 5

'Awu' asa and Prontat slipped silently through the ooman territory, their cloaking devices hid them almost perfectly in their surroundings. "I'll take down the female," Prontat said to Armor as they crept stealthily along.

'Awu' asa growled in disgust, "You are as transparent as you are clumsy."

"You judge rashly" He hissed back, "They are like a hive of Kainde' Amedha', capture the Queen, and the rest is exercise."

'Awu' asa looked slightly impressed, "Well, well, that was probably the wisest thought you ever had."

Before he had any time at all to gloat, she added, "Too bad you have to think with your dick to have such insights."

The landlord drudged out with an overfull trash can, grumbling along the way. Damn janitor called in sick, always finding an excuse out of work, if I only had half a mind to fire 'em. He said to himself just before he stumbled half-drunk down the walkway, overbalancing his burden and scattering trash everywhere. "Dammit!" He exclaimed, throwing the trash can down as trash was violently scattered all over the ground, then, he noticed a movement out of the corner of his eye, turning around and glared in that direction, probably the neighbors damn dog coming to take a shit in his property.

Slowly, two shapes took form out of the very air, it was as if the air itself had taken form and was trying to sneak across his little patch of grassy land.

"Wooz dare?" He demanded drunkenly, "Wot do you wan'?"

The two specters stopped and seemed to stare at him, they reblended until they were almost invisible but he could still see 'em, yes sir he could.

"I'll giv you tooo secon' ta git off my property." He threatened the ghost.

There was a growling sound swiftly followed by one of the blurs rushing toward him. He backed away and clumsily fell over the discarded trash can, managing only one brief scream before his throat was torn open drowning his cries as blood smeared twin blades finished of his brief and bitter life.

"Did you guys hear something?" Michael asked, looking around.

"Hear what?" Jack replied, totally engrossed in the movie.

"It sounded like a scream."

"Michael," Joe sighed," I TOLD you not to watch that movie! It's going to your head."

"Yes Mommy" Michael sarcastically replied.

Suddenly there was a smashing sound as the window shattered inwards. Michael watching in shock and surprise as a woman landed in the room brandishing a spear just in front of Joe. Ironically enough, on the tv, a vampire on the screen made the exact same entrance. The woman was quickly followed by a blood-covered and not-so-graceful young man who over calculated his leap from the window and fell face-forward at Joe's feet. "All right! All right! No more movies, I swear!" Michael said as he and Jack jumped up from their places on the large couch. "I get the hint!"

Joe stood in shock for a second at the sight but was quick to react, "Get moving!"

It seemed almost too easy. The female ooman was right in arms reach, no weapons, no defense. 'Awu' asa smirked at the males, if they were getting up to defend her, they were too far off to do any good.

Suddenly, as Prontat tried to jump up, the female kicked him forcefully in the jaw and sent him reeling back out the window.

With an irritated hiss, 'Awu' asa lifted her spear, determined to get the female under control quickly. To her great surprise, the female moved with equal speed, grabbing her very spear forcing its blunt side into her diaphragm knocking the wind out of her. Before she could recover, the ooman female lifted a vase and smashed it across her face sending her to the ground.

"C'jit!" How did she get caught off guard by a stupid ooman? Especially a female! How had it managed to match her species speed? To react so swiftly? No normal ooman should have been so much a match for the two of them. 'Awu' asa now wishing she should have left her mask on before she climbed the building.

She jumped back up as the three escaped out of the room, blood profusely pouring out of a cut over her right eye. C'jit! She screamed on the inside, It fucking hurts! Starting after them in an enraged fury, orders or not, she was going to KILL that female for besting her.
