Alien Slave 2

Chapter 4: On A Hunt
"Guns check."

"Done."

"Radio check."

"Reading you loud and clear."

"Equipment check."

"Have em all."

"You ready? You're gonna be all alone in the forest, make sure nothing stuffs up."

"Of course, now can I get moving?"

It was the 2 days since the tiger incident and a start to the new week. Tim was going to go on a hunt for the mysterious creature that killed the tiger. Not really hunting down, but rather tracking down the creature. He was also going on the daily checks at the same time.

"O.k. Good luck. It you spot something unusual, like dead animals or weird animal tracks, report it to me. And also take a photo of it." Felix said.

Tim jumped off the jeep and turned to look at Felix. His face was full of concern.

"If that crazy man is right, we might just bag ourselves a whole lot of money." Tim said with a smile.

"Or trouble. Take care." With that, Felix hit the accelerator and sped off.

Tim set off onto the pathway, he strolled like he was in a park. He took deep breaths and stopped to admire the scenery.

"This is Felix. I'm back at base, how are you going?"

"Everything seems perfectly normal. There's no disturbance. I'm going to the water hole to collect samples of water."

Tim made his way to the water hole. The water hole was off the main trekking route and the way to it was filled with overgrowth. Tim placed on his face mask to protect himself from mosquitoes and sharp leaves.
It was 2 days since I met with the striped creature. The creature had managed to slash my side, causing me great pain. For a day, I rested in a nearby cave to the water hole attending to my wounds. However, my wounds got worst. Weird little yellow worm like creatures were attracted to my wound and I woke up finding dozens of those tiny creatures sticking to the wound opening. There were also tiny black flies that flew and were attracted to my wounds. Day by day, hour by hour, the wounds were getting worst.

I had to try something which most Xen creatures knew but had not tried out. It was creating a healing pool. Most healing pool on Xen were created naturally. But with the 'invasion'. Non-naturally created healing pools were formed near teleportal chambers to assist in the 'invasion'. Most of the time, Xen slaves were assign in shifts to assist in the creation of the pool. Creating a Xen pool was tedious work and I needed to create it all by myself. I had to devote a lot of time to doing it, which meant placing other things like exploration and food finding aside. But with the wounds getting worst, it was going to be hard.

I staggered my way down to the water hole. Using a human water collecting object, I scooped up water from the water hole. I needed the water to wash the area where I'll make the pool clean. I also needed the water to fill up the pool and clean my wounds.
The water hole, untouched, natural and clean water. The water hole was a hole in a ground where the water from a waterfall collected nearby. It was Tim's favourite place in the whole national park. Isolated and off the trail it was only visited by Tim and the animals.

Tim reached the water hole, after doing a merry-go-round when he took a wrong turn. His legs and arms were sore after scaling a rock wall which blocked his path and trekking 3 kilometres on extremely uneven path that caused him to bruise himself several times. He realised he was lost and radio for help to get back on track.

Tim let his bag down and laid on the grass for a while to let his muscles relax. He laid there for a minute before he got up. Tim looked around to check there was no body, than he removed his protective suit and stripped off his cloths. He dived into the pool which created a giant wave the moment he hit the water. He moaned with pleasure as he let the water fall falling water massaged his back.
I sliced the bushes in my way and stripped some of the branches off the trees. The thorns and leaf ends were very annoying especially when it pricked the areas near my wounds and stabbed into the eye area. But I heard the sound of the water fall, I pressed though the bushes and came into the clearing.

I was expecting to see no one at the water hole, when I saw a human. The human immediately brought back images into my mind of 'Black Mesa'. It flashed though my mind and I readied myself to charge up a shot if the human was to attack me like they did in 'Black Mesa'.

What would happen if the human sees me i began to wondered? Will this human react the same way as the humans did at 'Black Mesa'? Maybe it would not because this human might not know of the 'invasion'. But I was still an alien being on this planet, the human might react in an alarm way and attack me, or even report me to it's masters.

The possibilities were endless. I decided to wait and see what the human was doing. The human got up from the grass and stripped off it's outer clothing's. The human than jumped into the water and let out a loud moan as it resurfaced. The human than went under the water fall and stayed there for sometime.

The human was proberly not aware of it's surroundings, I could quickly collect the water and run away before the human even noticed me. My stinging wounds prompted me to do so as I needed the water to wash the 'maggots' creature off my wounds.
I laid under the water fall for sometime imagining I was in some place in Hawaii. I felt relaxed and enjoyed the pleasure of the water fall. I than remembered that I had a job to do. I reluctantly moved away from the water fall. I than opened my eyes, and saw the most shocking thing in my life.

Directly in front of me was a creature, my first instinct was that it was some kind of mutated monkey. It had 2 arms and 2 legs like a human and a mini arm in it's chest. It's head was perched forward and had one large red blob in the middle. I was stunt was a moment, than realised what it was.

The alien noticed me, and it too looked stunt. I rubbed my eyes making sure i was not dreaming. The creature it as still there. I immediately ran for my bag, heading for the camera. The alien reacted in a confused way, following my quick movement as i splashed though the water. I grabbed the camera and tore off the lens cover. I than clicked the button.

!Flash!

The alien literally jumped out of it's skin as the camera flash flashed. The alien tore though the bushes flinging it's arm in different directions as it ran away. I laid there on the grass breathing rapidly.
