Author's Notes: I know I said just a couple of days until the next chapter. But chapter two ended up being forty-seven pages that is close to being finished, this however didn't include the time it would take to grammar check. So I've decided to break this long chapter into parts where you, the reader, could be satisfied with a part of chapter two. So, I present to you, Chapter Two: Part One Escaping Easy Life.
Enjoy!

Chapter Two:
Part One
Escaping Easy Life

The young Yautja roared a triumphant howl of victory as the Kainde Amedha lay in a dead searing heap before his taloned feet.

Their elder, their Leader, barked a quick command to his young pack of six then turned in a grunt continuing their track through the narrow passageway.

Adrenalin still surging through their veins, the young ones also turned and trotted behind their Leader. Their sweat glistening muscles urging and aching them to run down that passageway. That hallway. and mercilessly slaughter anything in a blood rage that got in their way. But their well trained minds taught them patience, to follow and obey their Leader. It is what harnessed their energy, and as a result caused the outcome to channel their aggression into their blades that created a combination of graceful attacks into a dance of blood flying violence and carnage.

They were nearing a junction and gradually began to slow down then came to a stop not but fifteen feet away. Two students flanked their Leader as he remained still, staring at the two new paths. Scanners within their masks showed the dagged drones were approaching, but not what else could be there.

He silently watched from the corner of his red eye as the student to his left looked to him. The young one's gaze lingered for a minute then turned back toward his front and took a step forward but was stopped in mid-stride by his elder's scared hand slapping across his blood stained armored chest.

The elder didn't turn to look at the student who was clearly looking at him once again but kept his gaze fixed on the passage ways. His stomach knotted and skin scrawled. Something was coming this way, or was already there.

His hand lifting to his belt and grasping the hilt of his sword which cued the others to ready themselves.

And so they did.

The pack awaited for what unseen prey would venture into their path. And moments later, two small beings quickly popped out and into the hallway. One primitive weapon was pointed opposite of their direction as the other being quickly maneuvered it's weapon towards them which instantly set the young bloods into an uproar but who's actions were harnessed by their Leader who loudly barked an order for them to settle.

The elder had come close to attacking as well, but a split second decision caused him to cease upon viewing one of the being's actions.

Both were ooman. Human. The second's attention was now fixated on them but its action in firing upon them was halted by the one that first discovered them. The one that he had identified to be female, and the second, male.

She looked him directly in the eyes and aimed her weapon straight at him but she did not fire. Her stance showed no failure of wavering as her rate increased but she still held vast, she even slowly crept to them. He assumed the other would fire but after an exchange of words between them, nothing happened.

Could she possibly be the Leader? And it made him all the more curious at why she was acting this way.

Her fast beating heart rate showed him that she wanted to turn and run, but her solid posture showed she wasn't going anywhere. It was almost as if she was protecting something.

And so, both Leaders stood in a stand off. One waiting for the other to make a move.

Okay, so maybe this was shorter than the first chapter after I had said this was going to be longer. But this everyone is just Part One, there's still Part Two which is twenty-one pages and then Part Three. So sit back and enjoy. And remember: Feedback is always welcome as it is appreciated.
