~~ Chapter 5~~
The Leader growled at the sight of the newly blooded pups head hanging on the tree in apparent mockery of them. He searched the surroundings for signs of what might have happened, but there was very little to reveil. Whatever had slain Pron-de'ya was very clever, hiding its origin in a splattered display of blood to cover its scent. The ground was intentionally scratched and torn up as well, marring signs of the struggle and any footprints the attacker may have made upon the ground.
This was a very odd sight. Few creatures would have the forsight to conceil themselves, or the thinking capabilities needed to deliberately leave the head of their victim for the others to find.
The leader crouched low to the ground as one of his subordinates took the head and began their walk back toward the ship to report the incident. The Leader studied the ground more carefully...almost erased claw marks...a half corroded root and rocks...a small stain of spittle. These signs reminded him of Kainde' Amedha, but the rest of the scene was completely unlike the creatures. They either gutted the body, or took it in its entirity to their hive. They didn't take time out of their busy scheduals to tie a head to a branch and cover up their tracks. That was more of an ooman tactic than the deadly kainde amedha.
He stood, finding no real answers. Pauk! They hadn't been on the planet a full half-day, and already a young halfwit has gotten himself killed.
The students muttered and growled among themselves, casting looks around them, as if to catch sight of their unfortunate peers murderer. Though the scene seemed to upset some, the majority of the students seemed most eager to tempt the black warrior of death if it would chance a meeting with such dangerous prey.
The whole group turned in unison to the sound of a loud explosion and the sound of follage moving violently to a struggle.

Hi-shaa sat with a cold human-like expression upon her face, watching the lone yautja make its way back to its ship with its fallen brother in the bag at its hip, and a its wrist claws extended at ready. She leaned further into the humid heat of the forest floor, letting the environment mask the little body heat she displayed. The Memories the Queen had aquired from the ship's prisoner was rich with useful information, especially of the creaures weapondry and tracking equiptment. This game had infinite...possibilites.
She gave a satisfied hiss as the yuatja stumbled into range of her trap, the small device she had stuffed deep into the recesses of their first victims brain matter exploding with the sickening crack of shattered bone. The pressure made the skull fragments sink deep into the yautja's side and abdominin, tearing into ribs and organs as they bulleted in all directions.
She watched as the yautja flailed about, then sank to the ground with its injuries. This was slightly disappointing. Not only had she hoped the device...bomb was a human word she knew for it...would go off while the group had hung around the decapitated head to increase the injuries, but she had at least hoped the thing would be considerate enough to show a LITTLE more suffering than that.
Rissss seemed not to care one way or another. A kill was a kill, and meat was meat.
"We go get the body for Hive now?" the creature wispered in her mind.
"No." Hi-shaa stated matter-of- factly, standing very still and watching as other yautja quickly appeared to investigate.
"Hi-shaaaaa," Rissss seemed to whine as she senced the creatures approach the quickly dieing yautja thing. "They will claim kill for their hive. Eat for selves."
"They don't eat their own kind," Hi-shaa replied, carefully watching the creatures reactions. She winced at the intensity of Rissss's astonishment as it intruded into her mind.
"WHAT? Not eat dead? Not take strength back into Hive? Stupid stupid creatures."
Hi-shaa nodded agreement. "Don't worry Rissss. Their bodies will strengthen the hive soon enough."
"If they not waste damn flesh on stupidness." Rissss replied sulkily as she stood quietly beside the hive child, awaiting further instructions.
