behind him had him glancing back in her direction and the sight that greeted him made his eyes widen slightly.

There, crawling on all fours, was a half-naked Song. Her trousers were off and her round, delicious rump was in the air as she crawled over to the bedding.

Taking the top layer off, she rose on her knees and looked it over. Then seeming to think it suitable for whatever purpose was in her head, she wrapped it around her waist.

She just about raised her eyes to look in his direction when he looked away quickly.

His cock throbbed in protest and the smell of burnt meat wafted into his nostrils at the same time.

Qrak.

He’d burnt the meat.

Cursing underneath his breath, he put the burnt piece to the side and began roasting another.

When he chanced a glance in her direction again, she was sitting on the bedding, having made a sort of covering that draped around her hips and hung over her lower section.

He wished he could tell her she didn’t need to cover herself.

He’d much prefer for her to walk around the way he’d just seen before.

Rounded rump and all.

Gathering the meat together on a makeshift tray made of zehmip stalk, he rose to bring the meal over to her when an ear-splitting screech echoed outside the barrier.

Kyris’ head snapped in the direction of the sound, pausing only long enough to see Song’s eyes widen as she froze.

That sound.

On this planet, that sound only came from one thing


Sand nesters.

The screech was so loud, it made her cover her ears.

It was followed by another sound, something like a hiss and, for a second, she couldn’t breathe as she listened.

The sound came again and her eyes flew to the barrier at the entrance of the cave.

Kyris was already moving, the food or whatever he was preparing forgotten as he drew his blade.

His immediate reaction only made her shiver down to her toes. It was obvious from the sound that whatever was outside the cave wasn’t friendly but seeing him go into battle mode seemed to make it even more serious.

As whatever it was screeched again, it was as if all the hairs on her skin stood on end. The sound reverberated against the stone walls, making it even the more ominous.

Sitting upright, she gripped the woolly bedding, her heart in her throat as she saw what was making the noise.

It was...something. She couldn’t see it quite well through the small slats in the barrier but she knew one thing for sure: it wasn’t friendly.

Another hiss entered the cave as the thing paced in front of the barrier, obviously looking for a way in.

Oh hell.

“Stay back,” Kyris’ warning found her through the noise of the screeching and hissing.

If he thought she was going anywhere, he needn’t worry. She wasn’t even sure if she could move.

Even with his back turned, she could see that his gaze was focused on the creature. As the thing paced, his head followed it as if he was tracking it with his eyes.

Whatever it was, she didn’t want it anywhere close. From what she could see, it had a sort of long, scaly tail that curved into the air and the sight of that alone sent shivers down her spine.

The thing seemed agitated and suddenly the barrier shook as it slammed itself into it.

Kuso.

Whatever you are, be a good alien and stay outside.

Again, the barrier shook as whatever it was slammed itself against it once more with determination.

“Qrak.”

She didn’t know what that meant, but from Kyris’ inflection she assumed he’d just cursed. His blade was drawn but he didn’t attack. Instead, he watched the creature move as he tracked it. He was so still, if she didn’t know he was alive she’d have thought he was one of those angel statues you usually see in religious places.

It only made her afraid to move.

Was it one of those animals that couldn’t see you if you didn’t move? Must be.

It hissed again and then let out a screech that was so loud it made her eardrums complain.

That was no normal screech.

Either it was much bigger than she could see or it had the voice box of a giant cicada.

If it was a giant cicada, it wouldn’t be that bad, right?

Cicadas didn’t eat meat
did they?

Images of the lovely insects she’d often try to find as a child floated in her mind. Their telltale screeches had been a hallmark of summer in Japan, and she’d often loved playing the game of ‘find the cicada’ with her older brother.

They’d see who could find the most cicadas in the park, just by following the insects’ piercing calls.

But this right now was no game.

Giant cicada or not, the screech was loud and terrifying.

As the thing screeched again, Song squeezed her hands over her ears tighter. It felt as if it made the air within the cave vibrate and when the barrier shuddered again, Song found her heart in her throat.

Kyris was still frozen, blade in hand, as he watched the thing assault the barrier.

Maybe if they kept still, didn’t move, hardly breathed, ceased to exist somehow, it would go away. It would go away right? Eventually? She could wait.

But as if the universe was trying to punish her, the creature slammed into the barrier yet again.

A part of her died.

There, where the creature had just slammed, she was sure she saw the barrier bend a little...almost as if, should enough pressure be put in that exact spot, the slat would break in two.

No, she was imagining it.

The barrier would hold and the creature would go away. Kyris wasn’t doing anything so that must mean they were going to wait it out.

She could do that.

But as the thing slammed against the barrier again, there was no denying that one of the slats was growing weak.

Oh God, no.

“There are many. About a dozen,” Kyris finally said.

Say what? Song gulped.

Kyris turned to glance at her, his violet eyes holding a hardness she hadn’t seen before.

“They will break the
