Chapter 4

           

The queen felt her minions return with the animals. They where out side the cave waiting there not understanding what was going on. The queen then gave her children new instructions, don't let any one of the animals escape. She continued laying eggs waiting for them to hatch and her little carriers to attaching them selves to the beasts out side and planting her babies in the chest cavities of these beasts.

           

            Pvt. Smith was slowly making his way through the dense jungle toward where the falling star or what ever it was landed. All he has with him was his pack of provisions, radio, and his gun. He was wearing jungle camouflage so he would blend in but that didn't give him much hope because if he ran into a bug it would detect him with ease. He then stopped because he saw he was coming to a clearing in the jungle. He dropped on to his stomach and slowly crawled forward. He came close to the clearing but hiding behind some bushes and surveyed area. There was something that didn't feel right. There was a hole in the clearing and the trees where bent but no crater or anything. Next he took out his binoculars and zoomed in on the area, there was a rippling of the air, like heat rising on a hot day.

            "I must be going crazy" he thought to him self. Then the shimmering grew more intense and out of nowhere a ship appeared. It looked sort-of like a bog rain drop, narrow in the front where the bridge is and it got wider where the back and engines are. This was the hold of the ship. Then all of a sudden a doe started to open in the side and these giant creatures walked out.

            "What the…" smith said quietly but stopped because one of those things turned in his direction. He saw about five come out of the ship but he knew there had to be more. Smith slowly inched back towards the safety of the dense jungle when he thought there was no way they could see him he slowly stood up and walked at a swift but quiet pace towards some large trees. When he reached them he leaned against the trunk of one of them and took out his radio. "Smith to Sgt. Johnson, come in over!" after a second a static but understandable reply came over "Smith what is it?!"

            "Sir we have a prob….. Ungh" before smith could reply any further odd looking spear slimmed into his chest. He looked up to see one of those things coming toward him. He tried to raise his gun to shoot it but his arms felt very heavy and he couldn't move them. His vision slowly turned a fuzzy grey and them black and then he felt…..nothing. Smith slumped over dead his blood dripping on to the leaves and the jungle floor.

            "Smith, Smith,! what is it, what's going on?! Smith answer me smit…" the predator then lifted his foot and smashed the radio and pulled his spear out of smith's chest and his body fell limp to the ground.

            The predator looked at the human and spat at its dead body in disgust. It did not know what the ooman was saying into the box but he knew it was talking to someone. He had to report this to Karitura, the oomans might know that they are here, this could drastically change there hunting plans, and he ran off to tell Karitura. Unknown to any one there was a bug scout watching what was going on. The bug turned and ran at full speed to the queen to inform her about these threats.
