None of them knew the time or what will happen to them before the dawn. Elysia knew they should have been in the car it was at least an hour, she did not recognize the surroundings and panic has won little by little but she immediatly calmed herself knowing that she can use the stars. She did not know how to say to her friends because she knew it would shock them and put them in all their states. as she walked unsteadily a member, Laryanne, began to whine. They were all tired of walking and running, they were thirsty and hungry.

-Ely... can we take a break of 5 min? asked Raphael, tired and exausted. She looked behind and nodded, at her response, he fell on the ground exausted and took a deep breath of relief. Each member sighed of relief and sat on the ground. She noticed while looking in the sky, a ray of light, the stars were slowly decreasing of light to let place for the morning. They'll have to climb to a tree if they want to reach the car. She lose the path but she know she can lead them with the stars but unfortunatly she'll have to climb to a tree for leading them.

-When will we reach the car? asked Alec, suddenly everything was silent like nature was waiting for her answer. She took a deep breath and close her eyes for a few seconds then open them knowing they have the right to know the truth.

-I lose the path while we were running from the thing. She lowered her head and shuddered. Edmond immediatly looked at her with intense glare.

-Y... you lose the path? You can find again the path right? he asked worrying.

-Yes I can but we will lose time so the only way to reach the car is to continue without the path, if we follow the path... I'm sure it will find us more easily than being in the wild with no path. Elysia said relief in her eyes, thankful that it wasn't bad as she thought.

-Do you think we can trick it? Asked Laryanne, next to Alec.

-I think yes it is possible, but it will be hard because we don't know what is it anatomy nor his weapons. They all nodded and sighed. Birds start to chirping around and light were slowly increasing. After a moment of distraction by the singing of the birds, Elysia spoke.

-Let's move on, we have to continue.

The female ooman that he killed early was unworthy for any male, he killed her because she had attacked his chosen female and was a treat for his dear future mate. She even attempted to attack him but failed miserably. He had the right to kill her, he haven't broke the rules of a great warrior, he have respected them and was proud of him that he could have killed her even if she was weaponless.

When he disappeared with the female he skinned her and put her upside down on a tree, she wasn't worthy to keep her skull, but he kept her skin for reminding that prey was unworthy for any male of his specie. He did the right thing after all, when he'll get his future mate in his bed, he'll make sure that she will bear his marks of property and make sure that she was fertile, then she could carry his clutches. They'll make a good clutch and he was sure they'll be stronger. They'll honor their family and be great warriors.

Currently, he was in his ship, preparing a temporaly nest with soft furrs of his recent hunting on earth and other planets further in the galaxy. He took one of his greatest prey, the skull of a queen xenomorph, and placed it above the nest. He putted some exotic fruits from different planets and putted it under the skull with waters. It was almost ready, the only thing that it was missing was his future mate then everything will be ready for a properly courtship.

He snores of satisfaction and putted a gift on the furrs, it was a collar of bones and pearls and two armlets metals. He walkled toward his storage and took clothes made for female. It was simple, it was a tissue who only hide her crotch, the net serve to cover her soft breast and straps were for her legs that serve to put a knife and other small items. It was the proper clothes for female when they were courted by a male. He putted it on the furrs near the armlets and collar and he walked back towards the door of the entry of the temporaly nest and looked back.

It was perfect for courting for the moment, after all, he can court her when he'll be back to the mothership and continue to court her on his homeworld where she can raise their clutches and be a good mate. He knew that she will fight to test him if he was worthy for being her mate like he was testing her outside, she was doing really good and he was pleased to had found this female. He walked toward the end of his ship and went outside for hunting again his dear future mate and her small group, the sun was rising far away and was starting to enlight the forest already.

After their break was finished, Elysia climbed up a tree and looked around her, the sun was rising in the East and their car was in the South near a small hill called "The Knowledge Hill". She smiled and climb down, they were near and they could walk for at least 30 minutes before reaching the car.

-We aren't far away, 30 minutes of walking but we can make it to 10 or 15 minutes if we run. She said full of hope.

-You sure? asked Alec, worry in his tone and hope.

-Yes, but we should hurry up, It's been a while since it haven't attacked, the sun is rising wich mean it is probably near 6 am. She responded walking toward the South then start to run while the others was following her running behind her afraid and full of hope to be saved. They were running at the same speed and was exausted but they were continuing even if their whole body ache of too much effort. The last energy left was decreasing, they were running not caring about the bushes scratching their legs and arms, they were too near to care about it.

Suddenly while running, a loud roar was heard behind them. The creature was near, Alec yielped and almost fall on the ground. Elysia noticed a small river next to them at 20 meters away and run toward it while the pack behind her followed her, she enter in the small river and run in the water wich was 5 inchs of height. She knew that it was tracking them helped by their feetprints on the ground, the water camouflaged they prints and scent, it was the only thing that she was hoping that it will be enough to trick it.

Five minutes passed, still nothing. Only the spashes on the water.

Then they reach the hill that was near the emplacement of the car, when they arrived.

It was there, the creature simuled the roar behind them with a trick. Elysia thought she was trapped while her friends thought they were dead. She should have known, she should have but it was too late, it was there and they were all weaponless, only their bare hands. They wouldn't make it.
