Light Shining Amongst The Darkness Chapter 3
They were blown.
Everything Red Eyes had worked for, all he had kept safely hidden away from the Overlords is completely shattered. All thanks to one human who couldn't keep his mouth shut and Red Eye couldn't do anything to stop him at the present time.
For a whole year Red Eye, still to this very day, didn't know how he managed to keep little Regina under wraps for so long. He'd always taken a lot of precautions with the help of his fellows. In the beginning, his comrades thought he was crazy for taking in a human baby. If the Overlords ever discovered his secret then he would be executed along with the infant taken away. Eventually, they saw things from his point of view and helped him in taking care of her. Basically finding food that would meet her needs and clothes that they learned were doable for her. Fortunately for all of them, Regina was mostly a good and mellow child rarely causing mischief. One of the few examples would be the time when Tom Mason temporarily glimpsed her. With her becoming more mobile at over a year old now it was becoming more difficult to keep her in one place. It's a miracle that Regina had gone on undetected for this long.
Red Eye has his own reasons for allowing Tom Mason to leave that field alive. In Tom Mason, Red Eye saw the potential the human race possessed and maybe, just maybe, this time around a rebellion could be possible.
Now was the time to take action and Red Eye would lead the way. It was instantaneous that since Red Eye was the one to take action he would be the leader of this Skitter rebellion. None of their kind had ever taken such a step as this before. He's more than just a leader to them after this, Red Eye is their deity.
Either way, Red Eye had to get him and his compatriots who were fighting the oppressive nature of the harnesses, and run for it.
It doesn't matter whether the Overlord believed Tom Mason's words about a child on this ship or not. The fact is now it's out there. They couldn't risk staying any longer.
After hours the ship had finally landed again in a different zone not too far away from the first.
The Overlord was convening with a different battalion. This is their chance now while they are on the ground.
Red Eye had sent out a communication to all the other Skitters that he knew of that would join the cause to meet them at certain coordinates on a frequency that they would know.
Red Eye and his group found an opening when others were distracted and left in the dead of night.
For convenience in transportation, Red Eyes had a sling made of a blanket tied across his chest. Lying there clutching her toy was Regina all snug as a bug in a rug.
Wrapping an arm around her, speaking in his own tongue, Red Eye said "Don't worry, Little One. All will be well. I'll protect you. No one will ever hurt you."
Authors Note:
I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.
So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.
I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
