Chapter 10


“Follow me.” I heard the shape say. It had a rough and old voice. He moved further into the Cave. I heard Cath and Olson follow me. The shape knew this place well, cuz he never stopped once to think where he should turn. After a while, I saw light in the end of the path. The shape became more visible, and soon I could see that it was Mudokon. I sighed briefly. I was so happy that it wasn’t some slig. Then we reached the exit. I looked out, this seemed to be paradise. There was a field, with grass, forest and a lake. I just stood there with open mouth, I couldn’t believe it. Freedom was what I felt. The Mudokon saw me with the gun in my hand, and got a fear in his eyes.

“Oh… This is just to keep the Vykker under control.” I said. The Mud seemed relieved. But he still looked at the gun with caution.

“Hello, my name is Cath. Who are you? And where do you know this place from.” Cath asked. The Mudokon looked at Cath with surprise, he hadn’t really noticed her until now.

“You are a Female. It’s an honour to meet you. My name is Nakl We don’t Meet female mudokons much. The last one I knew was Sam. She got caught by the Industrialists. She looks a lot like you.” Nakl said.

“Well, she is my mother.”

“Really? But then it means that you were born in the industrial world. How did they let you get away?” Nakl asked. But then he saw me, my gun and Olson. I seemed like he understood the situation.

“Hello, my name is Daniel. You look familiar.” I said.

“Well, you already know my name. Who is that Vykker?”

“His name is Olson, and he is an evil bastard who deserves to die.”

Olson seemed insulted. I looked scornfully at him.

“Nobody deserves to die. Everybody can change.” Nakl said. That was also what I had expected an old granny to say.

“I ain’t changin’. Go on, kill me.” Olson said. He seemed like he had lost the will to live. I was even more satisfied. Then he could see what it was like being me. I raised the gun.

“NO! Put that down.” Nakl said, “We aren’t shooting anybody.” He raised his spear. I rolled my eyes. Why couldn’t I get some fun?

“No, seriously. Don’t kill him. That would only approve that you’re one of them.” Cath said. I lowered the gun. Nakl seemed pleased. He smiled.

“I’m sorry, but we are very thirsty and hungry. Don’t you have anything to eat?” Cath asked gently.

“Of course, of course. Follow me, and I’ll show you to my hut.” Nakl said. So we went down a road into the forest. The trees were beautiful. We went a long time, and turned a couple of times, to different ways. Then I saw the hut. It lied there between the big trees. There were pink flowers around it. An Elum was enjoying the grass nearby.

“Oh hi Gismo!” Nakl called. Gismo would be he Elum. The Elum growled gladly and went to its owner. Nakl patted him on the back.

“AAW! He’s so cute.” Cath said. She patted Gismo on the back. He seemed to like it, and growled happily.

“Hi there fellow.” I said to him. Gismo looked at me. I ripped some grass off, and gave it to him. He ate it happily. Then he saw Olson and made a funny howl. Then he ran behind Nakl.

“BUUUH!” Olson screamed. Gismo seemed even more scared. Nakl looked at him angrily.

“HAHA! That Elum is so stupid. STUPID ELUM! Bleeeh!” Olson said, laughing evilly. Gismo didn’t seem to like that, so he ran right into Olson, and pushed him on the ground. Them Gismo made some funny growl, which would seem like laughter. Cath, Nakl and I laughed together. Olson stood up again. He looked angry and humiliated. If he had a gun, I’m sure he would kill us all right now. Well, we got inside where bread and meat was put on the table. Meeps actually taste good. I loved it. And the bread… MAN that tasted good. Not like the yucky food at the labs. Olson seemed to enjoy it too, although he didn’t want to admit that he liked it. That was the best meal I had gotten in years.

“Thank you sooooo much!” Cath said, “It tasted so good, that I’d do anything to eat it again.”

Nakl just blushed and said thanks. Cath smiled.

“I loved it too. It’s the best meal in years.” I said, smiling. Of course Olson didn’t say anything.

“I’m very glad you all like it.” Nakl said.

“Not everyone.” Olson said. We ignored him. Nakle came with some water and four cups. We all drank it. The water tasted clean. I felt so happy and lucky. That I finally escaped from the industrial world, and that I was finally free. I looked at Cath. She looked at me. I couldn’t smile a bit. Olson looked at us in disgust.

“If I had some sligs right now, they would beat the hell out of ya!” he said. I looked Olson.

“HA! But you don’t. And if I want to, I could just shoot you, and then it’s over with your pathetic, sweet life.” I said. Olson seemed really angry. He was obviously not used to get treated like this. Cath didn’t do anything. She seemed stressed with Olson in her presence. I didn’t think that she would ever calm down when he was there. I wondered what he actually did to her. Nakl didn’t like this. None of us did. But Olson seemed to enjoy it.

“When I get the chance, I will torture you to death. Then I will feed the rests of you to the slogs. You’re a pathetic slave, nothing else.” Olson said scornfully. That really made me angry. I jumped at him, hitting him in the face, until Cath ripped me off him.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Stop it!” She yelled. I wiped some dust off me. Olson, remained at the floor. He looked at me. Then he smiled, and burst out in a mean and cold laughter. Something that Vykkers are really good at doing. I took my gun and hit him with the end of it. He lost conscious.

“Stupid idiot. Can’t I just kill him?” I asked. Both Cath and Nakl shook their head and said no. I didn’t understand it. Why would they want to keep him alive even if he was mean and evil? I looked at Olson. I pointed my gun at him, and made a fake pistol sound. I wished that they would just let me shoot him. I took the gun at my back, and went out for some fresh air.
