The Finding

"Careful, take it easy." Angela exclaimed.
"I'm doing my best." Mabiev exclaimed.
"Whoa, look out!" Angela screamed.
"Take it easy." Malier said.

Angela and her friends Malier and Mabiev; they were twin brothers that had blue hair and green eyes, were standing in front of a cage that held a mother Davidian and her kid. The Davidian was slightly smaller than the males. Her eyes brighter, her stomach stronger and her claws longer. She was a prefered killer of the plains. And her reign had ended.

"She's a wild one." Madiev exclaimed.
"Not to mention dangerous." Malier said.
"And strong." Angela added.
"That too." Madiev agreed.

The Davidian rasped and tossed a claw out at Mabiev. Mabiev moved quickly but he was not quick enough. The Davidian caught him on his sleeve, from which it ripped. Angela caught the arm and entwined it in rope. Soon the Davidian was down and in a steel cage. Its kid was easier to deal with. But that didn't stop it from putting up a fight.

"How many does this make?" Angela asked.
"Five." Mabiev said.
"A whole day wasted." Angela sighed.
"Tomorrow will be better." Malier said.
"I hope." Angela muttered.

Angela was dog tired at the time she, Mabiev and Malier had finished loading the Davidian into the cargo that she decided to call off the hunting for the rest of the day. She was just not in the mood. Her legs and arms had enough scratches and bite marks on them to last a few months, not to mention the massive headache she had. Mabiev and Malier were both releived to have the day off too.

"See you tomorrow I guess." Angela said.
"Bye." Malier said.
"See you tomorrow sharp." Mabiev exclaimed.

Angela smiled, Mabiev and Malier were very good friends. They never questioned or caused problems, not to mention that they were the oldest sons of Nancella and Boclar. Nancella hadn't been her best this week, her attitude had risen and her appetite had rose considerably. Angela and Boclar suspected she was pregnant. Which was not a very good thing as she had just had a baby three weeks ago.

Angela remembered what Boclar had told her a few days ago. That he had heard a scream that had come from behind a high cliff with huge rocks on the side and a sheer drop. Angela wanted to know what that scream was, and the only way to do it was to climb up the cliff. And she feared doing that as she hadn't finished her generators. The sheer drop frightened her, and the bodies of the two Velexians she had found three days ago struck her mind like a flying saucer.

Angela climbed up a hill and looked down. She could see the brook that led to the cliff. The cliff was surrounded by huge trees and spiky rocks. There was a waterfall in the center and the sun always shined on the leaves. It was a perfect environment for a baby. Especially a Velexian mother-to-be. There was even hiding places for a Velexian female to hide her child after it was born. The last thought that went through Angela's head was that she had found the remains of two Velexians there just three days ago.

Slowly Angela walked back to her car. She took out a bag that had some cotton and other stuff that she might need in case she was injured and she sat down at the foot of the hill. She worked quickly, her fingers taking out the gauze and cotten out and tearing them. She took out the first aid kit and placed it in her pocket. Her knife and all the other stuff in the bag was placed in her jeep. After Angela finished this task she ran towards the cliff.

It took Angela fifteen minutes to reach the foot of the cliff and she was already out of breath. Her legs threatening to collapse and her body quivering. Slowly she placed her foot in one of the crevices and started climbing the face of the cliff. It wasn't easy, the roots and rocks continued to slip under her feet and she tottered dangerously towards the ground. By the time she had reached the first led she was sweating very badly. Her chest heaving up and down and her hands shaking.

It was then that she heard it. The low, fast screech of a baby it was. It sounded frightened and hungry, but it also sounded weak. This scream gave Angela the extra strength to scale the rest of the cliff. Finally the last step was taken, and now she could see that she had made it. But her work wasn't finished. She still had that ledge to cross. And it looked very narrow.

Angela was about to cross the ledge when she heard the scream again. It was closer than she had thought. It sounded like it was behind her. She could detect the hungry voice and the frightened yelps, she could feel the air around her freshen up. And so she turned around, and came face to youthful face to a small Velexian baby.

The baby stopped its insistant crying for a few minutes, his big blue eyes asking and looking up at Angela like marbles. His fluffy purple hair stuck up in all sorts of places. Angela could see the baby shivering. And it must have just hatched too, because its eggshell was still around its body. Angela slowly stooped down to take a closer look and that was when the baby let out a scream that almost blew her over the cliffs edge.

"Calm down little one." Angela said. "I'm here."

The baby stopped crying and Angela crawled back towards it. Her bag was ready for it. The cotten and leaves all pushed down to insure the safety of the baby. Slowly and carefully Angela picked up the baby and slowly placed it in the bag. The baby just looked up and cocked his head questionably. Angela smiled and ruffled its hair. The baby made a soothing sound and drifted off to sleep right then and there.

The way down the cliff was harder than it was going up it. Angela continued slipping on rocks and she couldn't get a good solid grip on the roots. She feared that the baby was going to wake up and begin its hideous screaming again. But it didn't, all the way down it slept. The bouncing made it sleep and the breathing of the lady that had taken it had soothed it to sleep. Angela slowly flattened her feet on the solid ground fifteen minutes later. She was shivering badly. Her chest heaved up and down and her eyes were bloodshot from the dust that had gone into them.

Opening the bag she saw that the baby was sleeping soundly. Its breathing slow and its eyes fluttering up and down as it slept and dreamed. Angela smiled at the thought of the baby dreaming of her. She was still laughing when she started walking towards her jeep. Her work was just beginning and she had no idea of what was going to happen later on.

I hope you guys like this chapter. I actually started writing this story when I was 13 and I'm doing my best to take out the fatal errors that my 13 year old self placed in it. Can you guess who the baby is! Next chapter to come up soon. Maybe tomorrow I hope.
