thanx to everyone for the kind replies <3
now we have lots of snow here (finally!) and with the snow my inspiration returned n.n
so yesterday night... instead of doing my physics homework Ö.Ö ...i wrote 3 chapters
i didn't rewrite anything -I wrote totally new stuff *3*
I'm going to upload one now and then I'll wait for a week (perhaps i can write some more? ^^)
oh and about Coffee:
i always imagined Coffee having dark green markings on his skin that remind of coffee beans, thats why I have chosen the name Coffee xD
but i didn't write that he had those markings because i want people to imagine the characters the way they want to (except for the Slig who switched bodies with Sabie i didn't describe the charcters much on purpose)
in another story i once named a Slig Taco xD I think I'll even use that name for a character again someday ^^
I tend to describe the characters and the scenery way too detailed and too much...
so in this story I wanted to try out to not describe a lot (thats one of the reasons for the darkness in my story xD)

-enjoy

Tjired leads the way and the 3 of us follow silently.
I sense their fear.
They fear us Mudokons that much that they don’t dare to say a word. Instead they clutch their rifles aiming into the darkness ready to shoot whatever might lunge at them.
I can’t help but smirk, happy that the blackness hides me.
-Suddenly we hear something scrambling across the floor and everyone freezes in an instant.
“What was that?” Ed steps backwards almost bumping into me.
“Probably just a rat or something…” I reply, even though it didn’t really sound like a rat.
“Kyrrrz!” Tjiren waves with his hand impatiently.
As we reach him I see that Coffee is missing. “Where?...” Ed stops himself as we hear the scrambling sound again –this time I’m almost sure that I also hear footsteps.
“Wait a minute, I’ll check out who that is….” I mumble and leave without even looking at them.
“Hey wait!!” Ed yells but I pretend that I haven’t heard him. I concentrate on the sound and stride away.
What if it’s an escapee? –Perhaps I’ll get a promotion and they will return me to my body again! –If 01 is still alive.
Suddenly I halt in shock.
I can’t remember if he died or if he survived the shot.
“Show yourself you’re hiding somewhere!- Where are you?!” I exclaim, trying to make out if I can hear some more sounds.
But the sounds are gone.
It’s so dark that I can barely see my hand in front of my face.
And then suddenly… that strange feeling returns… the feeling from my dream… someone is watching me.
-“WHERE ARE YOU?!” –I spin around and aim into nothing.
No Sabie. It’s behind… behind you!
“What?!” I turn around again stepping backwards against the wall.
No, 02 you are wrong it’s not behind me. There is anything can’t you see!!!
“Stop talking to me 02! I’m not a damn Slig!” –Why is my voice so tiny all of the sudden?
-I feel that my body is trembling in shock and that I’m breathing hard. My heart…this Slig heart -it’s racing. Am I afraid?
Yes you are. There, it is whispering loudly right next to my ear. I back away hastily stumbling over these unwieldy metal legs, landing on my face tentacles.
Ghhh. I roll to the side with a stinging sensation in my face.
Stand up 02! Duty calls!
I stand up weekly and lean against the wall wiping cold sweat from my forehead.
Then I hear it again:
>>01-E01415M778 –Failed.<< -it echoes in my head over and over again becoming louder and louder…
Suddenly someone puts his hand on my shoulder.
I cringe and almost shoot Ed.
“Wow wait…02 take it easy! What the heck did just happen? –We heard your screa-”
“Don’t call me that way, Slig!” I snarl but eventually put my rifle down again. “Nothing happened. I just… thought someone was there…” I say, my eyes still firmly glaring into the darkness.
“Have you…found Tjired? Or uhm…Coffee…?” Ed asks looking around nervously.
“You lost them too?” I ask absently scratching the skin on my arm. The fear vanished all of the sudden.
“They are perhaps on the way to the power supply… we shoul-”
-“Aren’t 2 Sligs enough for that job?” I start walking again.
I need to find a way to catch that escapee…
*** to be continued?
in this part when 02 is so scared there are 2 different voices talking to him, one of the voices is called 02 and the other voice is called Sabie.
they are a little like the main characters conscience. one of the 'voices' has his native name: Sabie. and the other one has got his industrial name: 02.
they talk to each other but the main character can hear them aswell and also responds sometimes siding with one of the voices and sometimes one of the voices can speak through him.
up to this point it's not meant to be clear for the reader who or what these voices exactly are. so don't worry =)
on the one hand i try to avoid confusion and on the other hand i try to create confusion.
sorry
