I do not own Godzilla.
Rrrrrrrrrrr…
The old casino boat floated down the water, blissfully unaware of the sea eyes glaring at it from the cover of foliage. Siseir sniffed again and growled deeper. That boat had been troubling her for weeks, wafting the scent of blood and chemicals through her mangrove home. She had been tempted to destroy it many times, but always one of her humans would stop her.
"Siseir! Siseir! Where are you?" Marez was calling for her from her nest. Siseir snorted and turned around, stepping back to her nest only once the boat was well out of sight. Her head rose over the tops of the trees now, as she was at full growth. The humans had been amazed at the blue and black feathers that had formed from the pinfeathers of her youth.
Marez looked up and took in the raised crest and aggressive stance and sighed, "Saw the boat again did you?"
"I don't know why you talk to that thing, you know it doesn't understand."
Marez turned to look at the same woman who had protested to keeping Siseir that very first day and frowned, "Alejandra you don't know that."
"I know you look like an idiot talking to that beast." She sneered.
"Oh stuff it sister…" Marez gave an impressive impression of Siseir watching the boat with as close to a snarl as a human could manage. Siseir gave a soft coo seeing him upset and lowered her head to nuzzle him with the learned gentleness she had acquired growing up with these far squishier creatures.
Marez.
"Whoa! Did you guys hear that?" Marez jumped.
Ekwensi looked up, "Hear what?"
Marez peered up at Siseir in surprise and awe, "Do it again!"
Siseir tilted her head. Marez.
The humans stared up in shock, and instantly began all speaking at once. Theories were thrown around and demands made of Siseir until the moon was high in the sky and the great monster curled up in her nest to sleep.
Why won't it go away?
"Well Siseir dear one, it has every right to be here according to the rangers." Warren stated, pointing to the boat that was causing Siseir so much aggravation. It had stopped randomly moving along the waterways two days before and now sat between two trees less than half a mile from Siseir's nest, a fact that made the young mutation hate the accursed object all the more.
It smells like a lot of blood. More than before.
"Blood?" Warren brought out the binoculars and took a closer look at the old Casino boat, "I don't see anyone."
Marez began jumping over logs, moving closer to the boat. The rest of the group followed more or less reluctantly, with Siseir creeping after.
"Uh Ekwensi? Warren? Is that what I think it is?" one of the others said, pointing to the red-streaks and splatters on the only window visible on the boat. Something was moving against the window, smearing the blood further.
Marez jumped up the side of the boat, "Someone might need help,"
"Marez! What are you stupid! That's probably the killer!" Alejandra screamed after her little brother.
"Ah you watch too many horror movies Alejandra." Marez reached for the door handle and opened it, coming face to face with the horrid countenance of a mutation. Everyone screamed and drew back as the monster came out, revealing itself to be a mix of the worst of both a rat and a wasp. Marez hit the rail backing up and froze as the thing looked at him.
Marez!
Siseir roared and leapt forward to defend her human, but all too late as the rat-wasp bit into the teenager's leg and took off flying in a whirr of wings, bobbing a bit in the wind created by the swipe of the black claws below. Marez was screaming as the monster flew straight up past the range of the high leap Siseir tried. A distraught roar answered his screaming below as Siseir raged.
Before anyone could blink the great black and blue wings unfurled and began beating the air for the first time. Instinct mixed with protective rage and with a second powerful leap the young mutation was airborne and surging upwards. She closed the distance with her enemy quickly and the rat-wasp dropped the human in order to escape the fierce snapping jaws coming for it.
Siseir caught her human in one of her paws and banked downward. His blood stung her nostrils as she dove down and landed with a giant ungraceful splash in the water. The rest of her humans ran over and took the teenager from her and carried him away with her walking over the group keeping watch for her enemy that had gotten away.
Pain. Such pain as she had never felt before, numbed only by the freezing cold seeping into her bones from all around. Power was nearby and she drew on it, pulling it deep into her to heal as all sensation began fading again.
Here it is. Not the best but I need to get over this chapter before I spend another two weeks staring at a blank text document.
