I Spi(e)d (h)er [complete]

Something fishy

The sun was setting, its bright amber light glinting off the dark emerald of the trees' leaves. Ara knew that this was the most dangerous time for her to be down on the forest floor. 

Her knotted black hair showed off the light like jewellery sparkling inside a shop case.

It was also dangerous for Felin as the light blinded her light sensitive eyes, but they were thirsty, hungry and had to move quickly to find clean water.

They carefully picked their way through the branches of the trees when they saw a strange sight at the edge of a clear blue lake.

A tall young gorgeous woman with long blonde hair was silently sitting on the edge of the lake her eyes were closed peacefully, her blue bikini clad chest moved in deep regular patterns.

Water lapped gently at her stomach, her top of her body was covered in a blue bikini top spotted with white dots her delicate hands with perfectly shaped nails that were painted light blue, her right hand traced random patterns into the surface of the water and was leaning backwards on her left. Her legs were obscured by the water.

Felin moved deftly towards the pool her Amber eyes locked onto the strange woman the whole time, her bare feet didn't make a single sound on the soft sand leading to the waters edge.

As Felin reached the edge of the lake she quickly plunged a water bottle into the clear blue water then rapidly retreated to Ara's side.

"If your hungry there are a lot of fish in this lake" the woman suddenly said, her voice oddly clicking on the consonants.

"Thank you for the offer Miss but we really should leave, shouldn't we Felin?" Ara felt there was something off about this woman, her ability to know that Felin was there without
opening her eyes.

Felin also had a bad feeling about this beautiful woman and she didn't trust her at all. Felin nodded agreeing with Ara and leapt up into the branches of the tree.

"Il go get you the fish if you wait" the blonde woman said before she dived into the water and instead of legs appearing on the top of the water as she dived a grey dolphin tail broke through the top of the water.

Felin and Ara waited uneasily in the branches of the trees for the blonde woman to
reappear.

Several anxious minutes slowly ticked by, Ara's nervous tick reappeared and she started chewing on the skin surrounding her finger nails the blood dripping from the skin onto the sand, which didn't burn because of the silicon content.

Ara's brain quickly created several different ways that was happening to the lady, and what would happen to Felin and her because of this woman.

By the time the woman had reappeared Felin had became extremely paranoid and
worried, her logical brain trying to think up logical reasons why this woman would be taking so long to get fish.

Ara had come to several conclusions the majority of them random an nonsensical. the major conclusions were that the blonde woman  was a deadly assassin from the future or she was an ant wearing a human suit, quietly hungering for revenge against all human kind that had always killed it's kin. 

Felin had less insane theories as her thoughts started spinning to impossible conclusion panick fully setting for her.

These theories included  that the blond, was an American spy who came to Australia to bring down the government, that she was a Chinese secret agent come to steal the REAPER Scientists weaponry, or an English secret agent who came to bring Western
Australia into the commonwealth, was a spy from the Australian Eastern states who had come to blackmail the wa government to become part of Australia again instead of the sovereign nation it was. Even more dastardly she could be working with Pahnch or she was going to join them just to kill them in the end.

Finally the blonde woman reappeared This time she had another person with her a small Asian girl with dark black pits where she should have eyes, and short spiky black hair, she wore a plain soaking wet black one piece bathers.

She swam less elegantly than the blond woman and her fast energetic movements churned up the water around her arms and legs, the blonde woman movements only showed the barest of ripples.

The blonde woman swam to the edge of the water revealing that instead of legs she had a dolphin tail. "Food's here" the blonde woman called out softly.

Ara moved forward and scuttled close to the blondes companion before gingerly sitting on the dry sand near the edge of the lake.

Felin followed her at an even slower pace his eyes roving around looking for enemies. "The names Delphina by the way and this lovely lady next to me is Urchula."

Delphina said smiling at Ara and Felin. Urchula preened under Delphinus attention and lovingly patted Delphina on the arm.

"Im Ara and the paranoid old lady here is Felin, I have to say their is something fishy about this whole conversation" Ara replied, relieved to finally find someone who was not looking to kill her she let out her odd gasping soundless laughter as Felin shook her head at her, Delphina and Urchula shook there head.

Felin, Urchula and Delphina started eating the fish raw. Ara pressed her long sharp mandibles into the fish waiting for the enzymes she had injected into it to liquefy the
insides before she drank them through the puncture wound she had made earlier on.

Everyone had finished when Felin heard a soft rustling behind him he spun around rapidly his enhanced eye sight zeroing on a man with milk chocolate hair, that completely covered his forehead and ears, he was swiftly setting up traps on the forest's edge.

Ara eyes looked to where Felin was looking and spotted the boy and called out softly
"hello whose there".

The boy was startled by the noise, he started When he spotted them. Ara recognised him it was a friend from her school Andy he didn't recognise her but when he saw Delphina's tail, Felin's ears and Ara's mandibles he quickly dashed into the undergrowth of the trees, muttering under his breath about how angry Pahnch would be with him.

Ara looked at Felin they nodded to each other before turning to the other women and saying. "Sorry we have to go now, the Pahnch woman that boy was talking about is bad news, thank you for your hospitality and fish."

They turn to leave before Urchula called out "wait can we go with you, if you're running from Pahnch's crew it means you have a mutation. We do too and people like us should stick together. Safety in numbers and all that."

"Alright you can come with us just try and keep up" Felin replied quickly avoiding the strange boy's traps and dashing into the trees. Ara followed him at a quick pace stumbling over the ground nearly hitting several of Andy's traps before giving up and using her webs to grapple herself into the trees.

As Delphina went to stand up her tail split into a pair of legs, however the grey dolphin skin stayed, Urchula hurried after them, Delphina effortlessly followed them on her long shapely legs, she moved quickly after Felin and Ara not wanting to be left behind.
