heres the next chap
Chapter 5
Next morning, Bea found Spider dead asleep where she left him. She left him alone, knowing he was going to have a major hangover when he woke up...
Bea caught up with the rest of his pack to see how they were doing later that morning. Tok, for the most part had taken over as Alpha while Spider was in his slump. He was surprised to hear how Bea found him last night.
"Drinkin'!? He was drinkin'!?" Tok said, the rest of the pack gasping in surprise as well.
"That's why he wasn' in his shelter this mornin'" Rik sighed.
"Where is he now?" Ner asked.
"He is in the village center, sleeping it off." Bea said.
"Man he is goin' ter be feelin' it when he wakes up..." Bas commented, "'Specially since this is the first time he ev'r got himself drunk..."
Bea could only nod and sigh in agreement.
“Come on…we better go wake him up and make sure he is ok…” Tok said as he walked toward the village center, the others following.
Just as they reached the center, the sound of a gunshot was heard. There, not far from where Spider was still sleeping, was a group of five sligs, who were obviously bounty hunters by the armor they were wearing. One of them, who was most likely the Alpha, was holding a gun to a muds head.
"Now.." the Alpha said, "This will be real easy...jus' let us take the crossbreed and no one gets hurt."
Bea just happen to notice out of the corner of her eye The Spider's nod at each other and silently disappear into the shadows.
Oh please don't do something stupid.. she thought a lump in her throat, the last thing Spider needs is for any of you to get hurt...
No one tried to stop them, not as long as the mud was being held hostage. The bounty hunters made they way to where Spider was. One of them poked him with his gun. Spider moaned but that was it.
"Looks like all we have ter der is carry the bastard out." the bounty hunter laughed.
"Certainly isn't resisting any, but we should put a cap in his head jus' ter be...huh?" the Alpha's arm was suddenly pulled back as his gun was literally ripped out of his hand. He looked back to see Rik, who had used his whip to pull the gun away. The mud quickly took this opportunity to escape.
"Well now.." the Alpha said annoyed, "Yer are either very brave or very stupid...get him."
It was then the rest of The Spiders attacked and chaos broke loose. Bea quickly took cover and The Guardians scrambled to get weapons so they could help. The Spiders had the element of surprise, but the bounty hunters greater experience quickly overcame them. Bas and Rik fell to sever gunshot wounds and Tok was slammed against a tree, knocking him out. Ner was surrounded, and the bounty hunters were laughing.
"Spider...I'm sorry," Ner whimpered, tears welling up in his eyes, "We tried..."
There was a sudden angry howl, and Bea realized that Spider was awake and he wasn’t happy....
Warning: next chap is NOT meant for those with weak stomachs!
