Spider could tell by Delta's body language and his expression. In other words it was very obvious to Spider that Delta was planning on attacking him.
Here's the next chap...sorry for the delay.
Chapter 5
Over the next few hours Spider chatted and started to get to know his fellow crossbreeds.
They asked Spider to tell them about himself and all he did in the outside world and he happily obliged. He didn't know why he didn't feel upset about being caught; he happened to voice this.
"Perhaps it is because you let yourself get caught." Felth suggested.
"Maybe." Spider said, "or it could be that I am surrounded by...my own kind."
"Certainly plausible." Hoth said, "Since, other then your mate, we are the only crossbreeds like you that you have been around."
"Shriek...." Spider lowered his head, "I miss her. I hope she is alright."
"I'm sure she will be fine. From what you have told us you taught her all she needed to know about surviving on her own."
"True..." Spider shook himself off, "By the way, I have never seen a lab where they kept all the subjects in just one or two cells."
"Well, after Beta escaped things changed. Before we were all in separate cells and were forbidden to talk to each other."
"They didn't want us to be showing any forms of 'intelligence'." Charr said.
"Not that you had any to begin with Charr." Echa said with a smirk.
"No the one without intelligence is Goliath." Charr countered.
"That's why Echa said you didn't have any. You keep speaking the obvious Charr." Delta grumbled.
"Better to be a little dense then to be a short tempered twit that can't accept that he was the one that was responsible with what happened to Beta!" Charr snapped.
"How dare you!" Delta howled as he jumped Charr and a fight ensued. Spider quickly ran up to them and broke them up.
"Stop it both of yer!" Spider growled, "Fighting over what happened in the past will not change what happened! What's done is done and there's no goin' back! Yer can only accept it, learn from it and move on. Lettin' the past control yer life will only lead yer ter more pain and sorrow. I know from experience."
"Well spoken Spider." Hoth said, impressed.
"Indeed." a voice said from outside the cell and all heads turned to see a Vykker. Spider, by instinct, snarled at him.
"Easy Spider." the Vykker said, "I am a friend of an old friend of yours."
"Yeah? And who would that be?" Spider growled.
"I am Steinix, friend of the one you once called 'Scrawny'"
Spider's eyes widened and his mouth fell open in shock....
