bellowing of the horn is echoing
in between the mountains.
I step out of the tent. It’s
very cold. The wind is blowing right into my face. But I don’t want to go
back. I want to go with them to rescue our girls.
Torch light appears from all
over. People begin to gather, holding spears, shields, and other weapons.
The chief looks at the
soldiers, “Some Earth girls are trapped in a spaceship. Go and save them.” He
turns to look at Auzo.
“Follow me,” he waves his
huge arm and leaps on his mount. It’s a strange animal, more like a camel than
a horse, but with two long horns. I guess that’s their horse anyway.
“Auzo, I want to go with you,”
I rush over.
“No, you stay,” his voice is firm.
“Why?”
“Fuck, this is a warrior’s
operation. There has nothing to do with you. Go back to the tent.” He then
turns to his soldiers and gestures with his arm, “Let’s go.”
Chapter Four
LEILA
“Auzo, wait,” I step over and
grab hold of the reins.
He stares at me.
“Look, Auzo, I fought the bad
aliens and won. I’m a qualified soldier.”
“But it’s so fucking cold.
You’re wearing nothing.”
He’s so right. I’ve lost almost
all the alien’s armor. And the temperature is much lower now. But I’ve made
up my mind. “I have to go. I want to save the girls. There is no way that I
can just sit on my ass and worry. Auzo, please understand.”
He stares me hard.
After a few moments, he
rushes into the tent and comes out with a huge coat. “You’re too fucking
strong-minded, Leila. Here,” he helps me put on the coat. It feels like a sleep
bag. Two Earth people can get inside comfortably.
I try to stick my hand out
from the sleeves but there seems no end to the fabric.
“Ready to go?” without
waiting for my answer, he lifts me bodily and puts me on that funny looking
horse. The next moment, we are riding fast through the snow.
I can’t see any road. It’s
all snow everywhere. Our animals are leading the way, their long legs are
moving fast. Snow flies all over.
Soon the animal’s body feels
hot, even through my coat, his breath turning heavy. But Auzo keeps urging him
to go faster.
Heavy snow is falling from
the sky. A huge snow storm is descending. I worry if the horse can climb up
the steep slope that sent me tumbling down during the day.
Soon, we are at the top of a hill.
Auzo lets the horse go slowly. He points at the deep valley far down, “See, we
met there, remember?” He holds me tighter.
Oh, wow, this is great. I
look hard, and see snow but nothing else. I turn to smile at him.
“Can I kiss you?” he whispers.
“Come on, this is a
military—”
My teasing is stopped by a
rough kiss. Boy, this feels so incredible.
“Auzo,” I lean my body on his
broad chest. I can feel the push of this thick cock right at my butt. I’m so
thrilled. “Love you, Auzo,” I murmur.
“Love you, too, Leila,” he
kisses my neck from behind.
“Promise you will fight to
win me back from that gross chief.”
“I’ll fight with my life. I
want you to be my mate, you understand?”
“Yes.” Honest, I don’t know
much about Auzo. But I know he is a great warrior. I feel safe and
comfortable with him.
Suddenly, he pulls the reins taut.
The horse stops right away.
“What happened?” I turn and
ask.
“This is the end of the
mountain ridge. You don’t want to drop down to the cliff, right?”
He gets off the horse and
then helps me down. I giggle, landing on the ground. “Let’s go.” He leads
the way.
All the soldiers get off
their horses and follow on foot.
We move carefully for a few
moments along the ridge, the wind howling at our backs. Auzo gestures for his
team to stop. Strong wind is blowing up from the deep cliff. I shiver and
step back.
Auzo looks around carefully
and then gives the order, “Search.”
