If I Went Somewhere Else

Blue Gem| The Predator: Part 8

* * * *

I pulled out my trusty LED flashlight to take a better look at where I was walking, that way I don't trip on any tree roots. Okay, the looks on everyone's face when I felt that the ship Fugi stole blew up was PRICELESS! They looked like they had just seen a ghost and it was pretty funny, even FUGI looked surprised and he knew I could feel others emotions. But maybe not tragic events.

Crickets filled the eerie silence as the only other sound that could be heard was our movement through the brush, and I'm honestly quite terrified. Matt said he had a plan that would kill the Assassin with c4, but I genuinely don't think it will work as well as he thinks. This Predator is different to say the LEAST, he's fucking bulletproof and blade proof! I was slowly beginning to feel my anxiety return, but Fugi stuck by my side.

The next thing I knew, one of Jerry's men yelled in surprise. I looked and saw that he was being pulled up into the tree with a thin rope around his ankle, everyone pointing their guns up into the tree. I pointed my flashlight up into the branches of the tree, and there it was. The Mega Predator was sinking his mandibles into the man's head, ripping it clean off and spitting it out, human blood covered his face and mandibles.

"Okay now that's just SICK!!" I said, completely disgusted.

He looked down at us all while I shone my flashlight into his eyes, his yellowish orange orbs had a look to kill. The Assassin looked down at me, those eyes piercing into me like daggers. Fugi picked me up and began to run as I could not stop staring, the Mega Predator roaring loudly as Fugi carried me to safety.

A few minutes later, we were all currently safe as of the moment as we left the Predator in the dust. Fugi set me down gently as I was just trying to comprehend the sight I just saw as we kept moving. As we continued headed through the forest, 2 of Matt's team had gone off to cause a distraction for the Mega Predator. Which is honestly a brave thing for them to do, knowing that they'll more than likely get killed.

Everyone each then took cover behind a tree for cover, Fugi and I hiding behind a huge tree that had to be at least 3 feet in diameter. A crow or something cawed along with the crickets as the silence continued, I looked at Fugi who was just putting his mask back on. He noticed me looking and prepared his shoulder gun.

"Fugi, wanna know something kinda amusing?" I whisper, hoping to lift the anxious mood.

"You think now is a time for jokes?" He whispers back, quite serious.

"No. But what's interesting is, this assassin is more terrifying than someone who wants me dead. And he's a giant robot." I say with a smirk.

Fugi made no response, then a scoff cane from him, "Interesting."

There was gunfire in the distance, along with a "HEY!!! ASSHOLE!!!" I pressed against Fugi as I felt really scared for them, he gently rubbed my back to calm me down a little. It did work, until there was then a blast in the same direction as the men along with more gunfire. I could hear trees being bent as I could assume the Mega Predator was travelling through them.

"ALIEN!!!!" They yelled as they cane running.

"They act like they've never seen an alien before." I whispered.

The men then took cover as well hiding behind a tree, silence ensues once again as the crickets made the only noise. Everyone was ready to fire upon the beast for when it was nearby, including myself as I had my mom's handgun. I'm not sure what it's gonna do against a bulletproof beast, but I guess we'll see!

The humans were prepared for the creatures arrival, clicking and hissing could be heard nearby. Fugi kept himself in front of the girl like a shield, seeing the cloaked Predator entering the vicinity. It was making all sorts of strange noises as it looked around, the beast then laughed as it lifted it's wrist and 2 blades shot at one of the soldiers.
