Chloe fell over for the 5th time and swore they were well and truly lost; they hadn't seen anything for hours apart from trees, mud and bugs. Lots of bugs and creepy crawlies.
"Jesus Lex, where the fuck are we?" Chloe shivered.
"One minute let me get my crystal ball, you dippy cow. I don't fucking know. I'm marvin" Lex shot back at her sister.
"Should of brought more than a pack of crisps and a chocolate bar then you dumbass" Chloe hissed.
They had been walking for at least 3 hours; Clo checked her phone again and saw no service across the screen. They couldn't even see the sun through the thick trees, no chance of even trying to do the hand navigation thing she had seen on Pinterest.
"That's it I cant hold it anymore, I'm going for a wee" Lex walked off towards a large tree starting to take down her juicy couture trousers.
"Fuck me; wait until I'm out of eye shot Lex. I don't want to see what you had for breakfast" Clo giggled; she hugged her arms around her waist and lifted her head to the tree canopy. A cold wind blew through the trees and she spotted something odd in the trees.
Her hair suddenly whipped into her face and she held it back, she squinted and tried to make out the odd shape. The shape moved and she shivered.
"Lex hurry up, I'm getting freaked out here, it's creepy" Clo whispered towards her sisters directions.
Lex came from behind the tree and ran towards her sister with her hands open and flicking around "I want to hug you with me pissy hands".
"Piss off Lex I'm serious, look up there" Clo pointed towards the weird shape but it had disappeared. She felt like something was watching them; she scanned the canopy again trying to find the figure.
"Come on, that way looks familiar lets try and retrace our steps, maybe we will come across the path again" another hour and the sun was starting to set. It was getting colder and they were starting to realise this was serious.
The male watched the two human females from the tree tops. "I have the threat in sight, over" he touched his earpiece again and move swiftly with the threat.
"Confirm the threat level, over" another male requested through his earpiece.
"Unknown threat level; Two human females; One approximately 160lbs, 5' 4", blonde hair, dressed in jeans, trainers and black jacket, carrying a backpack. The other approximately 4' 9" 140lbs, brown hair, dressed…" he passed to take a harder look "dressed like she shouldn't be out in the woods" the male chuckled.
"Please be serious courage" repeated the male through the earpiece.
"The female appears to be wearing low slung pink pants, her footwear has what appears to be glitter covering them, she has a very tight pink top on that reveals a lot of breast tissue and a small jacket that would provide no protect against the cold. Over" courage explained.
"What does their motive seem to be; over" the male asked.
"I think they may be lost but the smaller female seems quite certain in her direction; over"
Courage continued his stalking of the two threats, being primate his sense of smell was not as good as the other species. He could pick up the food they had eaten but no weapons.
They were only on the outer perimeter of NSO land but were inching closer to wild zone. The females did not scent of weapons, they did not appear to be strong enough to fight in hand to hand combat.
"The females are entering the outer perimeter of the wild zone; over" he whispered into his head piece. "Requesting assistance; over".
Courage did not want the wild zone residences to become aware of the threat approaching for fear they would kill them on contact.
"Assistance incoming ETA 7 minutes; over" the male responded.
Courage swung to the lower branches and listened hard to the females' conversation, they seemed to have a strange dialect. They appeared to be speaking English in intervals. He picked up words that he recognised but not used in the same scenarios he would associate with them.
He continued on the lower branches, silently watching and stalking. Hopefully his fellow New Species would reach the females before a wild zone resident caught their scent.
"You have no bloody idea do you Lex" Chloe said as she wandered after her sister. It was late now, there seemed to be more bugs than before and she really wished she had a fucking hair band; her hair was right pissing her off.
Lexi let out a huff and turned to Clo "oh stop whinging, fucking hell your worse than mum; we'll be fine. It's not the fucking wilderness you Jessie. We will come across someone in a bit. Come on rest ya plates" Chloe and Lex sat down, huddled close together for warmth.
"You look like shit Lex" Clo laughed while looking her sister up and down. "Who the fuck you think you'd meet out here; some hunk all ready to give ya his sausage".
"You look like that fucking grudge girl who decided to have a hair change, ya bitch" Lex shot back with a giggle "what's with all the hair everywhere, didn't ya bring a hair band"
"No otherwise it would be up ya div" Clo said.
Chloe swung the backpack from her back and opened the zip, feeling around for her phone she checked the signal again. No service appeared across the screen again.
"Fuck, were gonna have to climb a tree; try and see where we are" Chloe suggested.
"I cant climb that tree, have you seen my bottle and blues. Proper fucked now, they cost me 50 quid" Lex bit out.
"Well your smaller than me, Ill lift you up and just keep climbing you'll be fine" Chloe got up ready to lift her sister to a safeish looking tree to climb.
"Your having a giggle Clo, I'm not climbing. Take your jacket off and ill lift you" Chloe could see that Lex wasn't going to change her mind.
She took her backpack off and placed it on a sort of clean log, shrugging her jacket off she folded it on top of her backpack.
She shook her legs out and placed her hands on her hips stretching her back out. Cracking her neck from side to side she did a few jumping jacks and lunges.
"Are you bloody ready now you tit, fuck me your climbing a tree not running a marathon" Lex rolled her eyes and walked to the tree.
"Ill bend over and you use my back, just tell me when to lift a bit and grab that branch" Lex said while pointing to the lowest branch.
Lexi bent over and put her hands on her knees, arching her back up.
"You look like a screeching cat Lex" Chloe laughed and climbed onto her sisters back. Once she was on kneeling she tried to stand up while hugging the tree trunk.
"You need to go on a diet Clo, you fat cow, Jesus your heavy" Lexi grunted.
"Lift a bit" Clo stretched up to grab the branch; she circled her arm around the branch and used the truck for traction. She swung her leg over the branch and threw her head back.
Lexi was trying not to laugh "Go on, climb up" Lexi said with a wave of her hand.
Chloe used all her strength to right herself on the branch; by the time she was sitting on the branch she was beetroot red and puffing like a train.
She gingerly stood on the branch hanging onto the truck for dear life; she looked up to gauge which branch she would need to climb next maybe this wasn't a good idea Chloe thought.
"Come on Clo, you can do it" Lex shouted from beneath the tree.
"Yeah yeah don't nag me" Chloe whispered.
She grabbed the next branch and lifted herself up, kept going until her lungs hurt from all the clean air and her legs screamed. She silently thanked her mum for her strong leg muscles. She had always had muscular legs.
She carefully sat down on a branch about… oh fuck knows but bloody high.
She looked around and saw she only had a few more feet before she could see something over the trees. She took a few more breaths and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
Before she could think she found herself staring into a pair of black eyes. Chloe screamed and started to topple backwards off the branch the body that owned the black eyes grabbed her arm and righted her.
