Those Blasted Bounties...
(ooc: doing Spider's entry a little differently this time...
Spider: let the torment begin...*groans*
oh shuddup...)
Two slig bounty hunters followed a trail through the Great Forest, all there senses alert. The query they were hunting was dangerous, elusive, and had a hefty price on his head. It was none other then the escaped crossbreed Spider, they were hunting. They knew of the numerous attempts of other bounty hunters to catch him, all either had been either severly injured or killed. Never before had one individual been so hard to catch, and these two hunters knew it would take all their wit, skill, and a lot of luck to catch him. They didn't know why they couldn't just kill the crossbreed and be done with it. But they were specifically told that Spider was worth much more alive then dead, so risking catching him alive was a must.
One of the hunters stopped and pointed at a set of tracks on the ground. The tracks consisted of a series of small holes in the ground and the hunter knew immeditately that these tracks could have been made by none other then Spider's pants. They smiled at each other, they were close. Quickly and silently they followed the trail...
A little while later the trail stopped suddenly and the hunters looked around, somewhat nervious. This wasn't a good sign, tracks just don't disappear like that.
One of the hunters spotted something in a nearby bush. When he investagated he found a pair of pants with 8 spider-like legs: Spider's pants.
They were really nervious now, when Spider was on the ground they had a 'chance', but if he was in the trees....
"Why can't yer guys get the hint and jus' leave me the frack alone?" a deep voice said above them. The hunters looked up to see a pair of yellow eyes glaring down at them but that was all they could see, as Spider's large body was hard to see in the shadows, thanks to his dark green skin.
The hunters raiseds their guns to shoot but Spider was gone as quickly as he appeared. I was heard to believe that something as big as a Big Brother could move through the trees so quickly. The hunters, now back to back, scanned the trees and undergrowth, in hopes of spotting him before he struck.
They weren't so lucky...
Spider charged unexpectedly out of the undergrowth and rammed the two hunters, sending them tumbling to the ground. He then picked one up and tosses him into a tree, rendering him unconscious. By then the other hunter had recovered and started shooting. Spider quickly ran off to one side and disappeared into the undergrowth again.
"Jeez..." the hunter panted, "That guy is fast..."
"Don' yer forget that..." he heard Spider suddenly say behind him. He whirled around only to get smacked up against a tree. Spider disarmed him and pinned him against the tree.
"Now..." Spider said low and dangerous, "Believe it or not I don' like killin' unless I have ter. Since this is the first time I had ter deal with yer two, this is only a warnin'. If yer and yer buddy don' go look fer somethin' else ter hunt and keep pesterin' me, I'm goin' ter break a few things. And if yer still persist...yer better have yer wills ready by then. Understood?"
The hunter, frightened, slowly nodded in understanding.
"Good." Spider then punched the hunter in the face, knocking him out. Spider sighed and walked back over to his pants and slipped into them.
When will they learn that I jus' want ter live in peace? he thought as he left the two unconscious hunters behind. He walked a good distance and came across a clearing. In the clearing was a good sized village.
Hmmmm he thought, maybe if I can work on gettin' a good rep here these blasted bounties will start leavin' me alone...Well maybe not...but it would be nice ter meet some folk that don' shoot yer on sight.
Spider decided it was worth a try and he stepped out into the clearing and headed toward the village, a village called Pyke....
