watched her and wondered about what it must be like for the human males to procreate with such a lush ass and thighs to cradle their hips. He could certainly see the advantage. Viper's fangs descended unbidden as he thought of the little human mating.
Lepus moved to make a fire and Viper realized it was past time to tranq the intriguing creature and get her safely back to the ship.
"Prognatus Viper, the other generals have been delayed." The comm crackled.
"Dammit Canebrake." Viper winced.
There was no way the human female hadn't heard that.
"I should've remembered my comm-unit would be too loud at this close range." Viper groaned under his breath.
Lepus' head whipped up to stare into the trees.
"I'll be returning soon Imperator." He whispered then turned the unit down. "Well I guess it's now or never."
Hope
"I wasn't wrong!" Hope thought as the hair on the back of her neck stood up.
It had felt like someone was watching her. Now she was pretty sure she heard a strange sound at the edge of the clearing.
"Hello?" She hesitantly said.
"Please don't let it be a mountain lion instead of another fleeing hiker. Then again please don't let it be someone looking to take advantage of the situation. That would be almost as bad a getting mauled." Hope prayed.
"I know you are there. Please come out." She spoke up hesitantly.
She wasn't sure if she heard a growl or a voice.
Hope watched as a portion of the tree separated from the trunk. The brown variegated bark and green underbrush shifted awkwardly as it pushed away from the base of the tree. Hope expected to see someone emerge, but it was the plants themselves that moved. As it did, she could clearly see the shape of a camouflaged man. A very large man.
As it moved closer, she sat frozen. Someone was wearing a very impressive disguise, except something wasn't right. This didn't look like any hunter's disguise she'd ever seen.
Hope's eyes widened and her heart kicked into full gear.
The colors morphed into a more bronzed, earthy tan as the figure stepped fully into the clearing. She would've thought this was some Special Forces dude if it weren't for all the other features that came into view. The man or creature was at least seven feet tall with well-built legs and a massive broad chest. He wore short, tight-fitting pants that matched the forest. She said he because that was apparent from the way his clothing clung to the bulge in his crotch.
The man swayed as he walked like some kind of sleek predator, which was how she'd describe him, in part. His hair looked like the dreads sported by the movie monster, the Predator. The strange tendrils looked almost like extensions of his skin and were pulled back away from his face.
His facial features were not human, and yet not frightening like the movie monster. As frightened as Hope was, she didn't run screaming into the forest because his visage was more like a man than killer reptile.
The ridge of his nose and eyebrows were well defined, perhaps a bit harsh. He had green eyes that appeared to be rimmed in charcoal with a thin lipped mouth that looked more serious than jovial. Although the man didn't have any facial hair Hope was reminded of the character Drogo from the Game of Thrones.
Giving him a name was easier than admitting what she knew was true. This was an alien. A giant freaking alien!
It was almost hypnotic the way he undulated slightly as he walked ever closer. The stealthy swagger seemed counter intuitive to his hulking stature.
"First the meteor now this crazy shit!" Her mind railed.
Hope could see Drogo held some sort of device casually at his side. He appeared to have the same number of fingers and toes on his bare hands and feet, but they were a bit more elongated than hers.
Hope realized her mouth was hanging open when she almost ate a fly. She snapped her jaw shut, and she thought she heard the creature chuckle.
"At least I hope that's what the deep rumble in his chest was." Hope
