Rupture in the City

Chapter 13

Joe struggled against the large alien hands holding her arms.

It was strange, these creatures were the same as Michael but yet, he seemed to be like an ordinary human to her. A human that was her adopted child and closest friend.... but these, people, the people that were of his species. They were the ones who were the aliens. Ugly, horrid, Sons of...of...she couldn't possibly guess what!

"Let me go you over-grown toad!!" She demanded, struggling yet again.

The hallway was lighted a dull orange and not orange that was coming from the ceiling but was seeping through the ceiling AND walls. There were intricate designs all over the walls with that eery orange light coming from them. Not that she cared! She just wanted to see the monsters good enough to hit them! That is if she could get free of the one holding her!!

Tilting her head around trying to at least get a glimpse of Jack and Michael. "Michael! Jack! You guys still alive back there?" She asked.

At that very moment she heard grunting, then a high pitch squeal."Neh! Put me down put down!" It was Jack. She heard him jokefully sob. Surprised he could STILL joke around at a time like this. "I'm afraid of heights!" She heard him scream. " And I taste Terrible!"

"Michael!" She yelled, their captors still dragging them along the warped hallway.

"Yeah!"

"What's going on with Jack?!"

"Well, the guy has his arms wrapped around Jacks chest and ungh...." Michael growled. "And is now hoisted off the floor!"

She heard a scuffle.

"There ya go Jack!" Michael said, "Use those teeth!"

"Neahhhh!" She heard from Jack.

"Idiot," Michael said, "that's metal!"

Seconds later there was a roar, followed by more scuffling. The aliens holding her stopped. Looking up seeing they were occupied by something behind them. The two also speaking in their bizarre language. That's when she heard running feet that was getting louder and louder by the millisecond. Then, Jack's large size came running by her.

"Wrong way Jack!" She yelled.

He quickly disappeared around a corner. Just like him to run DEEPER into a trap!!

"Yaahhh!!!" Jack yelled, now running back into her view. "More Boogeymen!"

That's when one of them grabbed Jack and slammed him against the wall.

"Let him go!" She yelled by accident nor was she caring she said it anyways. Before she knew what she was doing she had already found herself out of her captors grasp and headed straight for the alien. She screamed, throwing her right foot into the air.

It was automatic. The now male wrapped both hands around his crotch with a howl as he fell to his knees. Shortly followed by him laying on his right side moaning and groaning loudly in pain.

That's when she felt pressure on her shoulders, pressure so immense it felt like her shoulders would pop. Letting out a high pitch scream as blood stained her shirt.

~~~~~~~

"No!" Michael screamed. "Get your hands off of her!"

Somehow, he to had gotten out of their grasp and ran for the one that was hurting Joe. Zipping by the other's, he balled his right fist and lifted it.

"Bastard!" There was a loud crack as his fist connected with the larger one's mandible. Michael brought his hand back and cradled it in pain. HELLS BELLS THAT HURT!!!!............

~~~~~~~

Ser'et-na turned on the pup, his mandible throbbing where the young one had stricken him. As he did so, there was a wet pop from the female ooman dislocating one of her arms. She spun around with her other arm lifted planning on yanking his dreadlocks out!

~~~~~~~

Joe sneered at the creature. Her memory was clear now. She remembered how she got the scar on her arm...

~~~~ Darkness. Fear. Her mother shielding her as the man advanced....~~~~
