1.40{Part II}

Warnings: Nudity, language

As he stood over the tank with Hunter’s eyes stared sightlessly up at him, he was suddenly overcome with an urge. Right now Hunter was defenseless. Sure, if he did kill Hunter he wouldn’t get out of here alive but just the thought. He could wrap his hands around his thick neck and just squeeze until what was just a human in stasis would turn into just another lifeless corpse.
He didn’t realize that his hands had risen to open the tank until he looked down to see Hunter staring at him. Really staring at him.
“You know you wouldn’t have gotten out of here alive.”

The smooth growl of his engine barely made a dent in the cacophony of the city. Gripping the steering wheel Winston shot a look at the seemingly empty building to his right. Damn, he really didn’t want to be here but he had to be here. He had a break through in the labs and he knew once it was out…well once it was out he would have to watch his back even more than he was now.
“You know Winston,” he muttered to himself as he cut the engine. “Your life was so much easier when you were strung out. At least there weren’t so many memories…or so many regrets.”
Reaching back in the car he fished around for a flashlight before getting out. Rounding the hood he jumped, startled, when the streetlight went out with a loud pop.
“Oh, this is just great.”

First three(?) pics are NSFW type images. It’s tasteful(at least I think so) but still…yeah, there’s some nakedness. Just a warning!

Kaylee silently laughed as she watched Ty struggle with his pants as he stared down at her. She casually lifted her arm over her head and arched her back. She bit her lip when his nostrils flared and his breathing grew louder.
“It might help if you actually look and see what you’re doing.”
“Can’t. You’re fucking gorgeous. And I’m about to get some for the first time in six weeks.”
“Ty, we’ve gone longer than that without sex when you’re away for practices and games.”
Her own voice was husky as she watched him hop around on one leg as he tussled with his pants.
“That’s different. You’re not there. Can’t touch you. Before I could touch but couldn’t taste. Now-”
Her laughter was smothered by his mouth as he pounced on her. It quickly faded into a moan as he wrapped his arms around her and pressed his body against hers. Then the only sound in the room was the sound of their breathing, the rustling of the blanket as they strained to get closer, Ty’s groan as her hand wrapped around his erection and her sharp exclamation as his hand brushed against her breasts. He pulled back sharply.

It had been harder to find them then she had thought, Janet thought as she quietly shut the car door behind her. They have moved to a small town and with him being ill they had pretty much squastered themselves away from the normal circles that they had moved in. She supposed that she should feel sorry for them…but she didn’t. They had ruined her life. Sure, she thought with a small smile as she looked around, she hadn’t really tried to make anything of her life after Terry’s death but in her eyes the blame rested with them.

“Humans are so different from us and yet…they are the same.We’ve studied their genetic make up for decades now. Tested DNA, studied blood types, tried to splice chromosomes. They are so fragile but they preserve through so much. Take Kaylee for example. She could have ended up being like Venshai . A cold, manipulative woman but instead she’s-”
“Warm and giving. Caring. She holds her pain in the inside. Her scars aren’t of the flesh but of the heart.”
“Yes. But she’s fearless. When others when have stumbled she pressed on. Of course she had someone to lean on even if she did refuse him for the longest time.”
“But Ty always knew that she would be his.”
Karrick smiled sadly. Anon shook his head.
“Did I not tell you that Tyrese would come around? That you would have your own person to lean on?”
“Yes, but-”
“Trust in me Karrick. I would not lie to you. The road my not be smooth but you’ll traverse it nonetheless. I do have a question for you.”
“Yes?”
Anon gestured to the headless mannequin. “Why do human males carry their reproductive organs on the outside of their bodies when not in use? It would seem an endangerment to me.”
“I have asked Ty the same question and his answer left me even more confused.”
“And what was his answer?”
“Because.”
Anon cocked his head to the side as he studied the model. “Interesting. I guess I will never know.” He shrugged. “Humans are so complex but look at what they’ve reduced us to.”
He gestured over Karrick’s shoulder at a plastic alien toy. “We should be offended but if this is what makes the humans sleep at night, to think that they are the only beings alive in the great vastness of space, I guess we should be happy. Come with me Karrick. I need to show you one last thing.”
Anon gestured over to the railing when they teleported up to the roof. “Tell me what you see.”

It had been years since he’d last held a ontaki in his hand. Decades actually. And what was he doing with it now? He remembered meditating. Embracing the physical pain to forget the emotional and then…
His body had felt weightless and he’d been drifting. No worries, no cares. Then he could hear Kava’s voice. And was that Ty? Why were they calling him? Was something wrong? Maybe he should go back…and then the bright light of his home planet. His home planet? His hearts skipped several beats.
“Karrick K’atri! At this rate you will never make warrior status. Why do you stand there looking at the weapon instead of swinging it? You ask for my assistance and yet you do nothing I have instructed.”

Hannah stood outside the window. She could hear Kaylee and her husband talking and laughing then the slam of the front door. Kaylee walked into the nursery and stood looking down into the cribs with a soft smile on her face. It made Hannah’s stomach turn. Children were nothing but parasites and she just considered herself the exterminator. What she did she did out of necessity. She didn’t consider what she did wrong. Just as humans enjoyed their hamburgers she enjoyed the fresh, thriving blood of an infant. Was that so wrong? Of course it wasn’t, she reassured herself as she heard their vehicle back out of the driveway. Nothing was wrong with that at all.

“The kids are in bed and…holy hell!”
Ty came to a stop just inside the bedroom door and stared across the room as Kaylee bent over to make the bed. Absently he brought his hand to his mouth to make sure he wasn’t drooling. Swallowing, he dropped his hand back to his side and took a hesitant step into the room. Kaylee hadn’t said two words to him sense Karrick had sullenly left the house over three hours ago. Clearing his throat he huffed out a breath as she continued to ignore him.,
“Did you hear what I said?”
“Uh huh.”
Ty winced at the coldness from those two little words. “Did you need some help?”
“No, thank you.”

1.34

“So,” Ty said as he reached to lift Isaac out of the bouncer. “Just what was that little girl talking about?”
Karrick made a choking sound. “That wasn’t a little girl. Well, in a sense she was but not really. She’s one of The Wise. It’s most surprising that they were here. Most surprising. And to bring Kaylee’s deceased father back as well?”
“Say what?” Ty absently patted his son’s back as he stared at Karrick in amazement. “You’re kidding me right? How in the hell would they be able to bring her father back? He’s been dead for almost twenty years.”
“In this plane, yes. In others death is just another gateway.”
“Oh good Lord! I can’t deal with your mumbo-jumbo right now Karrick. Besides, you never answered my question.”
He watched as Karrick heaved a sigh and looked skyward as if he were expecting an answer to come from the Heavens. When nothing happened he heaved another sigh and peered somewhere in the vicinity of Ty’s left shoulder.

Kiki spun around and, with vigor she thought she had long since lost, raced down the stairs.
“Terry!”
She blinked back tears as she heard him laugh. The laugh that she remembered. The laugh that always used to get him out of trouble.
“Ma!” he exclaimed as he opened his arms.
Sound faded and her world became her son. All she could see was his grinning face. Her feet seemed to barely touch the ground as she raced toward him. The distance seemed to yawn between them until suddenly her body slammed against his and her arms wrapped around his neck.
