Tension 2: Death's Reign of Terror Chapter 2
Not much happens in this chapter. It is mostly setting up the characters.
Chapter Two: Helen
Mark stared in horror as what the girl said came to pass. He just couldnt believe that he had escaped certain death. She was screaming pretty hard now. and he took hold of her whispering nothings in her ear. Sensing that this was important Stalker allowed the contact while the Queen kept staring at the carnage.
She too couldn't believe what the hysterical human had done. She had never known a human that could predict the future. Indeed, it was a rare gift. Stalker feeling bad quickly wrapped the girl with her tail and squeezed slightly. It had the desired effect and slowly the girl calmed down
"While I am glad that I am alright you still haven't answered my question alien fucker. Why are you dallying with these fuckers?" Mark couldn't believe the nerve of this guy. A woman had just predicted the future and he was asking after that?
Before he could answer though, someone beat him to it. "Don't be such a dick Anthony. Who the fuck cares if he fucks a xeno? At least he loves her. Love is love no matter where you find it. (then to Mark)
Sorry about Anthony, he strongly believes in a strict human only relationship. I'm Tina and the you're holding is Helen. We all look after her. It seems kinda weird that the people who get off that death trap are her closest friends. What is your name?"
"Mark (He points to Stalker) Stalker (He points to the Queen) and MOTHER a queen." He was still holding Helen along with Stalker. She was a lot calmer now and she signaled the two to let her go but she did not leave Mark's side when he did let go.
The two members who had not introduced themselves yet called themselves Gabe and Sarah. Gabe was a quiet looking youth with mousy hair that ran down his face and covered his eyes, while Sarah was tall and gangly looking with brown eyes and piercing green eyes.
It seemed that everyone except Anthony were interested in the fact that Mark was friendly with a dangerous alien species. Eventually though their social party was interrupted as a guard came up to them and enquired as to the events leading up to the tragedy. Helen was too scared to speak so Mark told the events the best he had seen with a grateful look from Helen as he did so.
When he was finished, the guard didn't look convinced but didn't push them for some more info.
Excusing himself, he wondered away leaving the 8 friends still shaken. Finally everyone but Tina, Helen, Mark, Stalker, and the Queen wondered away. Tina at Mark's slight accusing stare explained, "Oh we are always splitting up like this. After something like this, who can blame them?"
Mark nodded accepting this, turned to Stalker and the Queen.
Should we accompany them? I think that it would be a good idea just to support Helen
I agree, in fact I would have ordered you as the Queen to help them.
Stalker also agreed if a tad hesitant. Mark didn't catch this though. Telling an amused Tina their plans, they headed for the exit unaware of the peril that would soon befall them
