The next chapter is up! Enjoy :)

The first time Kayla awoke, she was in a dark, poorly lit room.

And when she tried to stand, she was very limited. She hissed and rubbed the top of her head when it hit what felt like solid metal bars. She noted there were bars around her as well.

It didn't take long to realize that she was in a cage.

In a panic, she slammed her hands into the bars and started screaming.

"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" She screamed as loud as possible.

Kayla slammed her hands and feet into the bars repeatedly out of fear and frustrations.

She continued on like this for the next five minutes, until she gradually slowed down and began to silently sob. The young woman was unsure where she was.

But Kayla swore she felt the floor vibrating a little and heard a faint hum in the air. Wherever she was, it must've been some type of transport vehicle.

She looked around but couldn't see much due to the poor lighting in the area. One of the only sources of fairly bright lighting was a few low lights above her cage.

Kayla did make out some other cages under these low lights. But from what she could see and hear, they were all empty. And she could feel she was alone in here.

The room was hot and humid, and she thought she could make out swirls of mist in the damp air.

The young woman jumped slightly, when she heard a hissing sound from the front of the dark room. Her gaze snapped in that direction, and she barely caught something sliding shut.

It was eerily silent for a few moments, then she heard that nightmarish clicking sound again. It was followed by movement from the front of the room.

They came in closer to her position and she scooted back to the back of the small cage and flattened her back against the bars as a large figure came stand before her.

Kayla gasped and covered her mouth when she caught bright piercing amber eyes settle on her. But what scared her more was the face they were a part of.

The dark shadowing in the room made it look more heinous.

Its eyes were deep-set, sitting below a protruding brow that was lined with these black bristles. It had sickly yellow colored skin. With a huge sloping back noggin with a crest. Those black dread lock-like tubes were protruding from the crest all around its large head.

But its most disturbing features had to be the four protrusions that surrounded its small mouth. The appendages seemed to move on their own accord and ended in sharp tusks. The small mouth in the center had sharp teeth as well and it had no lips.

'It has mandibles! Just what the fuck is this thing!?' Kayla thought.

"Wwhat...what are you? And...what do you want with me?" She shakily asked.

It was silent for a moment before it lifted its wrist and tapped a couple buttons on its metallic wrist gauntlet. She then became startled when she heard a voice.

"Wwhat...what are you? And...what do you want with me?" Her own voiced played back.

Then she heard a rolling rumbling sound with a few hisses mixed in. If she didn't know any better, she'd say this being played that to taunt her and now it looked like it was laughing at her.

Her fearful look slowly morphed into a scowl.

"Fuck you! You ugly motherfucker!" She spat.

He leaned in with a disturbing grin, "Pplan tooo, ooman."

Her eyes widened when she heard the deep gravelly voice speaking in broken English.

"Stay away from me you freak!" Kayla snapped.

He just trilled again and started to reach his hand in between the bars. His scaly skin made contact with hers as he put his long fingers on the lower part of her calf and stroke it.

She became a bit queasy between the lecherous look he was giving her and the way he was stroking her skin.

"Get off!" She snapped in a panicky tone.

Then she pulled her leg back, before slamming her foot forward into his fingers and knuckles and crushing them against the bars.

He let out a pained grunt and snarled as he quickly pulled his hand back. He growled at her and sent her a death glare. And for a moment Kayla was afraid he would rip the side of the cage open, pull her out and hurt her.

Instead, he banged both his hands against the siding of the cage, flared his mandibles and roared at her.

She yelped and covered her ears from the thundering sound. No doubt she just pissed this being off. And she retracted her limbs in and curled up as far away as possible.

'Little bitch. Should just pull her out and teach her a lesson.' He vehemently thought.

He really was tempted to do so. But he was the youngest in this group and he had no authority to do so. Unless he wishes to upset the leader. Who will no doubt give him a harsh beating if he fucks up the 'bait' they were bringing to the hunting preserve they were bringing it to.

Then a voice came through on his wrist computer.

"Chulonte, where the hell are you? Get your ass back to the control deck and assist Ka'Torag." The leader snapped.

He growled in annoyance then pressed a button, "Yes, I'll be there right away."

The young male, Chulonte gave the ooman female one last glare, before he sharply turned and left the room.

Kayla watched as he communicated in this weird, guttural language. He pinned her with one last glare before he quickly turned and left. Only when the door slid shut behind him, did she let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.

She felt herself sitting on a lump and reached behind her. She ended up finding the source and pulling it out. Then brought it around to her view.

It was her small cannister of bear mace. Guess when they took her, they didn't take her things. She knew her iPhone was gone. She felt it fall out of her pocket and hit the ground as she sprinted down the path.

Kayla did take note that her keys were still in her right front pocket and ear buds were still in her left front pocket.

She stuck the bear mace back in her back pocket. It may be pathetic, but it was the only line of defense she really had. And the way these guys were built, she doubts her three years of Jui-Jitsu skills would help in this situation.

Her thoughts went rampant on what they could want her for. Though the way that large being was eyeing her, she fears she has somewhat of an idea. And the thought made her skin crawl and made her feel like wanting to hurl.

The young woman wasn't sure how long she was in there for. During her time within the cage though, she did feel around the circumference of the cage, trying to find where the door and lock was.

But she couldn't really find it. It just seemed like one solid cage with no opening.

Kayla sat back with a huff, trying to figure out what else she can do to get out. After a few minutes of just sitting there against the bars, she thought she heard a faint hissing sound coming from above her.

She furrowed her dark brows and looked up. Kayla squinted her eyes through the low lighting and thought she saw something that looked faintly like smoke started to take up the area above her cage.

Then it gradually started to creep down to her level.

She froze, not knowing what it was. It looked a little like a thin whitish smoke. But it didn't smell like it. And it certainly didn't smell or seem like anything was on fire.

Once she did catch with of it, she realized it had a rather funny smell. Something she couldn't put a finger on.

After a few moments, Kayla started to feel lightheaded. Then her head kept tilting forward like she was dozing off. And before long, she was having trouble keeping her eyes open.

Then everything went dark after that.

The leader smirked as he lifted his finger off the button and watched through a camera as the ooman female passed out from the sleeping gas.

They were just upon the hunting preserve planet they were headed to. And like they always did while handling live cargo, they use the gas to knock them out, so it was easier to move them to a bigger transport cage to take them off the ship upon landing.

Some of the prey they were looking to hunt was something that was more efficient at hunting or capturing if you had live bait.

They most likely won't use her right away. Because they were going to start the hunt with some other prey there first. In the meantime, the ooman female will be kept in a sizable cage at their base camp.

Ooman females can be quite entertaining. And he hears that they were great for fucking. He'd be lying if he didn't admit he'd like to try her body out a few times before using her for bait.

He happened to know the rest of his crew were eager for it too.

But still, he rather they focus on the hunt first and take a few trophies before they indulge themselves with the small ooman female. The thought alone plowing into her tight heat while he mounted her was making him hard.

And as the leader, he will make sure to have first dibs on her before allowing the others to touch her.

He heard the door sliding open at the other end of the control deck. And he turned his chair to face the one who came in.

It was the young hunter, Chulonte. He banged a fist to his hand and bowed his head in greeting. Then looked around and became confused when Ka'Torag was nowhere in sight.

His gaze shifted back to the leader.

"Lar'nix'va, you call me here to assist Ka'Torag. But he's not here." Chulonte said.

The large, red yautja known as Lar'nix'va stood to full height from his chair. He had a good half a foot in height and bigger frame then the smaller, younger warrior.

"Oh that? Sorry, I may have lied. I just didn't want you to do something you will regret. Like defy my orders and have a little fun in the cargo hold with the ooman female." Lar'nix'va said, as he approached Chulonte.

The younger hunter's eyes widened a little, before narrowing.

"I would never go against your orders, Leader. It was just my first time to Earth and my first time seeing an ooman this close up. Especially, a female one." The younger hunter countered.

"Oh, so, we were a little curious, I, see?" The larger male inquired, in a taunting way.

Without warning, Lar'nix'va's hand shot out and wrapped around the youngster's throat and squeezed it. Chulonte made a small choking sound as he grasped the forearm holding him in place.

Then he was roughly jerked forward, looking up into a pair of blood red eyes.

"Know this, next time you let your curiosity get the better of you, I'll be sure you never get a chance to fuck anything. This understood, Youngblood pup?" Lar'nix'va growled threateningly.

A brief flash of fear entered the youngster's eyes.

"Sei-i, it won't happen again." He hissed out.

"Good." Was all Lar'nix'va said.

Then he threw his arm forward and threw the smaller hunter across the room. His back crashed into the metal wall behind him.

"Now, get your ass to the kehrite, and get in some training with the others before we land. We shall be landing on Planet Kuty'y'ae in a few short hours." The large male ordered.

Chulonte slowly stood up with a grunt and nodded. Then he left the control deck.

Lar'nix'va turned around and headed back to his seat. He turned it back around and faced the controls. He pressed a few holographic buttons and an image popped up.

He was on the lookout for any ships. Especially ones that belonged to any Arbitrators. It was a holographic map that showed the area they were located in.

It showed their ship headed towards their desired planet. There were no other ships in sight at first. But then he heard a few beeps and his gaze shot to the right-hand corner of the map.

He saw a flashing dot, indicating a ship, and it too was headed for the hunting preserve planet of Kuty'y'ae. He pressed a few buttons and ran some diagnostics.

It showed that it wasn't an Arbitrator's ship. Which was good. He didn't care if there was another hunter on the way there. If he happens to encounter them, he will not hesitate to kill them.

The map of the small area kept indicating that his ship and this other unknown hunter's ship were the only ships that were headed for the planet.

And by the looks of it, this other ship was headed off to another area on the world and may not be anywhere near where they plan to land.

'Good, this means no interruptions.' He thought.

Lar'nix'va hit a couple buttons and the holographic image disappeared. Then he got up and decided he too will go and get some training in. Besides hunting, beating his subordinates was sometimes the next best thing.

The red yautja chuckled at the thought as he left the control deck.

What he was unaware of, was the other ship that supposedly was headed to another area of the planet, made a sharp left and was now headed to the same area he and his crew were.

"Until Next Time ;)
