Pleasured By The Aliens

by Maia Starr

  There was very little sunlight in the wilderness. Not just because the Dains had scorched the sky and the sun was barely able to get through, but because of the tall pine trees. But the light was definitely lighter than night time. This was it. I needed to make a choice. Either I stayed here longer, or I made a run for it to try to get back to my home. I realized that the sooner I left, the more daylight I would have to find my way home. That was better than waiting and only having a few hours of light to get home.

  I took a deep breath. I pressed my ear up against the door, quietly listening. I could hear the birds coming awake and whistling. I could hear crickets and all of the life of the wilderness. I did not hear the stomping of graptors nor the grunting. It seemed fairly safe. I unlatched the door, and it made a cranking sound. I waited. If anything had heard that it would come investigate, but after a few minutes nothing came.

  I slowly opened the door and popped my head out. I looked around. I didn't see any brush moving at all. This was a good sign. I crawled out of the hole. I left the door open, just in case I needed to run back to it. I made sure that the orange flag was very visible.

  “Now or never,” I whispered to myself.

  I looked around, trying to get my bearings. My home was high in the trees. The graptors could not climb trees. So, it was the only safe place from them besides a hole in the ground, and that was not where I wanted to live out my days.

  I quietly walked along in the dirt, trying not to walk on the pine needles, which could conceal a twig or branch. If I stepped on it and broke it it would cause a noise, and I wanted to be as quiet as possible. I walked slowly and something caught my attention. It was the sound of rushing water.

  “Yes, the creek. I know exactly where I am,” I whispered to myself and began to walk toward the sound of the water. I came upon the small creek. All I had to do was walk along the bank and it would lead me back to my home which was beside the creek.

  I walked for almost half an hour. Then I saw it ahead, the large pine tree marked with an X.

  “Thank heavens,” I said more loudly than I should. Suddenly there was a large rumbling in the bushes to the left of me. I knew what it was before it even appeared. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I looked over to see a large graptor standing there staring at me. Drool slid down from its large fangs. It grunted and the dirt in front of it blew up into a cloud.

  I had no choice. I had to run and bolted as fast as I could toward my tree. This was impossible, trying to out run them. The graptors were fast, and there was no way that I could get out of this alive. Even if I got to the base of my tree I would still have to climb the rungs that I had nailed to the tree. It would easily pull me off if I was even 8 ft off the ground. But I had to try.

  It let out a frightening roar that made me feel like it was about to jump on me.

  “Aagh! Aagh!” I screamed. I could not control my fear. My nerves had gotten the best of me. I was screaming like crazy. I thought that this was the end. I was about to be torn apart.

  I was so close to home, but I could feel it on my heels. I could feel its hot breath on me.

  Bam! Suddenly I was thrown. The graptor had crashed the side of its head against my waist and the force flung me against a tree. I hit my head. I lay on the ground in a daze. I tried to sit up. The graptor slowly stalked toward me. This was it.

  Boom! Boom!

  Suddenly the creature fell to the ground with a hard thud and a loud groan. I looked in the direction of some noise.

  “Woohoo! Got it!” a voice shouted.

  There, coming toward me, were four very tall Dains. I couldn't believe it. My eyes were trying to stay open, but it was hard. The aliens came toward me. I knew that I was in danger, but I knew they wouldn't tear me apart the way the creature was going to.

  One of them came toward me. He was tall, he must be at least 9 feet I thought as he towered over me. He had jet black long hair shaved on one side. They all had the signature blue skin of the Dain alien race. But this particular one had a sleeve of tattoos on his right arm. He crouched down next to me.

  “Are you alright, human? Did it bite you?”

  “My head, I hit my head against the tree,” I whispered.

  “There could be more. Keep a lookout,” I heard the others saying to each other.

  “You are bleeding,” the alien next to me said as he looked at my head. “We must get you back to our vehicle, but it is a hike.” He said looking around.

  I pointed up at the sky. “My home. Get me to my home…” Then everything went dark. I fainted from the blow on the head.

  Chapter Four

  Commander Kandyr

  “Is that what I think it is?” I said looking up into the trees. The human female had just pointed toward the sky before she fainted.

  “It looks like a large platform in the trees,” Jate said.

  “Priah, Neevon, go check it out. Make sure it is clear, it could be a human trap. Jate, keep us covered. Continue to look for any graptors, fire at any noise you hear in the bushes.

  “Copy that, Commander,” they all said.

  “I looked at the fragile human female. She was a stunning creature. She had short blond hair, and soft pale skin. I took out a patch clot from my belt and pressed it against the small gash on her head. The patch would stick and stop the bleeding immediately. It was something we used in the battlefield often. But I had never used it on a human before, and I hoped that it would work.

  I looked at Priah and Neevon climbing the rungs on the tree until they quietly disappeared onto the platform. I looked at Jate, whose back was to me as he held his blaster gun slowly swinging back and forth, watching.

  “It’s all clear!” Priah shouted down.

  “We’re coming up!” I responded.

  I grabbed the human female, picking her up and cradling her in my arms.

  “Jate, the harness,” I said.

  He came up to me and pulled the harness out of my belt and wrapped it around the human female. Now she clung to me. “Good, let's go.”

  “After you, I got the rear.”

  “Cover us”” I shouted. I watched as Priah and Neevon laid down on their bellies on the platform with their blaster guns, aiming in different directions to cover us. Then I started to climb up the tree. It was impressive. The rungs were nailed solidly into the wood.

  I finally reached the platform and climbed onto it. I was stunned by what I saw.There was a small house on the platform.

  “There is an entire home up here,” Neevon said. “It is only two rooms. A large room and a small washroom, human-sized,” he continued.

  “She needs to rest,” I said walking in the door. I immediately saw the large bed in the corner. I moved to it and laid her down.

  I had a look around. It was just as Neevon said. There was a small kitchen area for preparing food. There were dried food and herbs hanging from the ceiling in bunches. There was a table and chairs and a large window. I looked beyond through another door and there was a small washroom area. She seemed to live here alone. I walked back out the door onto the platform.

  “This is a good secure location. The graptors cannot climb, they're too heavy.”

  “Platform goes all the way around. It provides a 360-degree view. There are even ropes with buckets to be lowered to bring up supplies,” Jate said taking a look around.

  “Do you think she lives here alone? Or is there a human husband on the way here?” Priah asked.

  “I did not see any clothing that would belong to a man, only small items that would fit this human female. But I could be wrong. Just keep a lookout. We will do it in shifts. We will head back to the vehicle as soon as she wakes. We must make sure that she is not too badly hurt.” I said.

  “You are the one with the medical training, Commander,” Neevon said.

  “Yes, I have already stopped the wound from bleeding. I will wash her to make sure there are no other gashes, I will only be able to see it once I wipe the blood away. Who's tak
ing first watch?”

  “I’ll do it,” Jate said.

  “Good. Priah and Neevon, see what supplies are in the house. Water, food, medical,” I said.

  “Yes Commander.”

  I walked back into the home and went back to the human. I opened the compartment on my belt and pulled out a paper square. I ripped it open with my teeth and pulled out a wet medical cloth. I began to wash the blood off her head, seeing if there were more cuts and wounds. I wiped the blood off her shoulder and arms. She was very delicate and petite. I hoped that she would make it and wake up. I wanted to know more about her. Looking around, it was very impressive. Did she do this all herself?

  “There's water, but not much to eat. Just these dried herbs, that's about it. But we all have dried food in our packs, right? With the water we will be set, for tonight anyway.” Neevon said.

  “Good, hopefully she will wake before then. We are about 1 hour away from the vehicle. We don't want to go out there at night. Those graptors are vicious, and we don't need them to pounce on us in the middle of the night.” I said.

  Priah walked over to me as I set a cover on top of the human female, to keep her warm.

  “She's alive? Yes?” He asked looking at her.

  “Yes. The graptor did not seem to bite or claw her. It looks like it knocked her against the tree and that is where she got the head wound. But it is not too deep, she should be fine once she wakes up. We will see how well she can focus.”

  “Think she is a virgin?” Priah asked.

  I looked at him, I already knew what he was thinking. “That does not matter. Our orders are to scout for human females and take them to the camps. Then they will go through the testing to find out if they are virgins or not.”

  “I was just asking. Does she look like a virgin?” He said.

  “You can't tell just by looking at them,” Neevon added rolling his eyes at Priah, making sure he knew that he was an idiot.

  “Well, it does seem that she is alone out here. There's only one bowl, one cup, one spoon, everything is just one.So who would she be having sex with?” Priah said.

  “It must be very boring for her. I don't mean not having sex, I mean just being alone all the time. No one to talk to. No one to listen to your thoughts. One could go crazy like that,” I said looking at her and feeling sorry for her. I wouldn't want to live alone for a long time. Living in the wilderness all alone, trying to survive, especially when there were graptors out there that wanted to constantly try to eat you when all you wanted to do was get water or food. I looked at her, realizing that she must be a very strong human to endure such a life.

  “I wonder who built this house. Now we know to look up into the trees. Think about how many of these homes we could have passed on the way here without realizing it,” Priah said as he knocked on the wall, testing to see if it was solid.

  “Yes, good point. We will have to take a look in the trees on the way back to the truck. Keep that in mind. I am going to go check the perimeter,” I said. Then I walked out of the door onto the platform. “How does it look?”

  “It is pretty peaceful. I could see why she would want to live up here. Even when I hear a rustling below it is very safe up here from the graptors. I have not seen one, heard one, or seen any humans. You can see almost a mile out in every direction,” Jate said.

  “Good,” I said, walking around the house on the platform and getting a view of the surroundings. It was very easy to see below, through the trees. Jate was right almost a mile view in every direction, that was good for wilderness. I could even see the creek in the distance, that would be good for fetching water later.

  “Well, command was right in sending us out here. We now know that there are humans living here, in the trees in the wilderness. They are very clever, aren't they?” He said.

  “Yes, of course they are, they always have been. It is impressive, if this human female is living here alone, which I think that she might be. She has lived here surviving on her own, and that is not something to take lightly. It is a shame to take her into the camps, where she might be killed if she is not a virgin. To survive all of this only to be killed off,” I said.

  “Careful there, Commander. You talk mercy for the humans, remember that can border on treachery,” Jate said with a grin. I knew he wasn't threatening me, he was teasing me.

  “It is in my nature to feel bad for smaller creatures, human or otherwise. You should be glad I have that quality so that I take pity on you as well,” I said, giving him shit right back.

  “Oh, nice,” he said.

  “Keep watch. I will send Priah out to relieve you in another hour or so,” I said.

  “Yes Commander. I don’t mind. This is like a nice vacation out here, restful,” Jate said.

  Chapter Five

  Priah

  Like everyone else, I had been waiting a long time. It seemed like forever to be called to be put into a group so that I could have a wife, a human virgin wife. It is what every Dain wanted, because it is what we had fought for, for so long. We had put a lot of time, energy, and our lives on the line to conquer this blue and green planet called Earth. The war had been long and devastating on both sides, but we had finally conquered. We had eradicated most of the human men, leaving the human females. But we couldn't just have any human female, they had to be a virgin because of the sexually transmitted virus that was running among them.

  Only the virgins were guaranteed not to have the virus. So, we had all waited for the time when our numbers would be called. We would be put into a group of three to four Dains, sometimes even 5 and that group would share one human female virgin with the sole purpose of breeding her. We were to create hybrid Dain and human offspring. This offspring would be the new inheritors of Earth.

  But because there weren't very many human female virgins left on Earth, we all had to share in our groups that we were assigned to. This way it was guaranteed that the human female would become pregnant, by at least one of us. But the system was slow and it was frustrating. We had all been waiting years, and we were starting to get frustrated and about to explode, in more ways than one. So, having this human female alone in the wilderness with us was tempting, and a part of me didn't even care if she was a virgin or not. It had not been proven that we Dains could catch the virus that the humans carried, it was just out of safety that the Dains in charge did not want us to meddle with it, just in case.

  There had been a time when I was in the camps, the military barracks, that my number had been called. But when I showed up for registration it turned out that my number had been mixed up with another, and I was sent back to the barracks without a group. That had been the most frustrating time of all. I had come so close.

  Now, looking at the small human female lying in her large bed, I had desires stirring inside of me. Looking around her small home high in the trees, it was obvious that she had been alone for a long time. Maybe we would be doing her a favor as well by giving her what humans also needed, release.

  Her small sleeping body was a wonder to me. I wondered if the others were thinking what I was thinking. I walked outside onto the platform. Jate was patrolling back and forth.

  “See anything interesting out here?”

  “Yes, a lot of nature. It is all very interesting. I could get used to it out here, if it wasn't so isolated. I have grown sick of the ruins of buildings and large heaps of rubble in the cities. This is untouched. There is a beauty in it” Jate said.

  “There is a beauty to what is in there as well,” I said quietly to him.

  He gave me a look, then he leaned in closer, “What's going on in that head of yours Priah?”

  “What is always going on in my head. How long have you been waiting? How long have you been waiting to be put to a group, to have some sort of release?”

  “It's been a long time. As I said, I was working in registration and had to watch everyone else get matched and be given a human female to claim every night. That wasn't easy for me, obviously
.”

  “And yet, look at us. We are in the middle of nowhere with a human female all to ourselves. Why should we do all the work of killing that graptor, taking care of her here, and getting her back to the city just so that she can be taken away from us and given to someone else, another group of Dains? We are already a group here, are we not good enough to be her husbands?” I whispered to him.

  He grinned a devious grin. “I like where your head is at. I have waited long enough to claim a human female, and that one is breathtaking. Not only that, but she must be strong, living out here among graptors. Now that is a human female that is a match for me.”

  “That's what I'm saying. We should do it. That human should be ours, we should claim her. Why should we have to wait for paperwork? We fought in battle. We helped conquer this planet. We helped to get rid of the human men. We are owed this,” I said.

  “I am with you, Priah. But there is no way that Kandyr will be. He is the most loyal Dain I have ever met. He won't agree to it.”

  “We will have to convince him. I don't think that Neevon will need too much convincing,” I said.

  “That is definitely true. But maybe... maybe if the human came to us. We don't know what she is thinking. She will be frightened at first, but maybe a little kindness and seduction, since she has been out here alone in the wilderness,” Jate said.

  “That is true. All creatures have a need, we will see how it plays out. Let us hope that she sleeps until dark and we have to stay here. Let's do everything we can too not go into the city,” I said.

  “I am with you,” he said slapping me on the arm.

  “Jate, Kandyr ordered me to relieve you,” Neevon said coming out of the house onto the platform. Then he stopped and looked at both of us. “What are you two up to?”

  “Nothing. Keep a lookout, it's almost noon sun, and things get hungry.” Jate said giving Neevon a punch on the arm.
