Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Allen's Secret
Chapter 2 - Allen's Secret
The trip back was a solemn one. Five somethings were out there,
and what they were was a mystery. When they got back, Burt and Tyler had
returned. The police were there. Jodi parked in front of her shop and
ran over to Burt, "Whats going on?" she asked. Burt was very annoyed with
what was going on, "Apparently some kids got lost over here and its 'our fault'
we let El Blanco get them, damn yuppie parents cant raise their kids with
any respect..." A chill went up Jodis spine. "Burt..." she whispered. "Yea" the
monster hunter replied. "It wasnt El Blanco that killed those kids." Burt looked
at her and was about to ask her what did, when Rosilita drove up in a haste. "What the
hell is going on, first some 'puta' rips up my cattle, then we got cops here? What
happened?" Allen walked over "I think I know what killed your cattle and those kids."
Burt turned to Allen "And who the hell are you?" Allen smirked. "New resident, but any-
ways, Jodi, Cletus and I found something in a old government lab, strange spider-like
'aliens' as Cletus put it." Burt turned red, and stomped over to Cletus, who was still in
front of Jodi's shop, looking rather depressed. "You mean to tell us that there are
aliens that can kill COWS and you didnt bother to tell us!" Cletus said nothing.
An hour later they were all in Changs Market having something to drink.
Allen's trailer he would be living in had arrived and was being hooked up for
electricity and plumbing. During that time Jodi told them all about what had happened.
"And then Cletus told us he had a suspicion these arent the worst of it, and hes
right, those little ones cold not kill a cow, maybe if they bled on them, but her cows
were tore apart and in some, eaten. Its not El Blanco because he never goes up there.
So it has to be our aliens." Burt took a long drink and said, "Of course the
government would want to get their hands on these things, what a weapon!
If you manage to kill it, it burns a hole in you!" "Not to mention, they reproduce
by using other things as a host" Allen chimed in. Tyler walked in at that moment.
"Whats with all the police?" Rather then tell it several times again they had
Nancy and Tyler come over and they repeated the story. Nobody wanted to believe
what was happening. "I guess this means I have to kill them right?" Burt said.
Cletus nodded. When Twitchell busted in it startled them. "You have to take
a look at this" They all went out and went behind Tylers house. One of the officers
was badly mutilated. "Holy shit.." Tyler cried. Then they heard the growl.
It was on top of the building, It was slimy and tall, at least 7 feet maybe 8,
an elongated skull with no eyes and spines on its back, it was carrying the other half of
the slain man. Rosilita screamed and two officers ran to them. Suddenly from
under a garbage heap one more leapt out and grabbed one of them. A tongue like appendage
expelled from its mouth, into the mans brain, killing him. They all ran Burt
and Allen headed towards the middle of the town, while the others locked themselves
inside Tyler's garage. There was another one in front of Chang's Market. It dashed towards Burt
Allen and Burt pulled out their handguns and started firing. The creature
nimbly dodged their bullets and then lunged for Burt, but Allen tackled it. Dazed, the
creature stood up and charged him. Allen punched it, then the monster
slashed at him, and tripped him with its tail. While Allen the other
alien were fighting, the last officer saw another one climbing the water
tower. He climbed the ladder and grabbed the creatures leg, thinking
he could fight it. The beast kicked him to the ground and jumped down,
it grabbed him bye the throat, causing blood to spurt out, then plunged its
'tongue' into his chest. Burt saw the other alien bound off with the dead man, then turned
his focus to Allen who was actually fighting it off. The animal grabbed Allen
and he head butted it, causing it to fall down. He grabbed its tail and flung
it right at the water tower. It hit the pipe and it busted its leg, as well as causing a leak.
The alien hit the ground screaming in pain, and the water hit the ground. It
started crawling towards Allen, then Burts seismo went off. Burt smiled when three tentacles came
out near the beast, it screamed and fought with all its might, but El Blancos head popped
out and clamped down on it. Allen noticed the acid blood did not seem to effect E.B.
The great white graboid dipped underground, carrying its prey. The others left their hiding place.
"There were five, we saw four, and one was killed...where was the fifth one" Cletus asked.
"Well Cletus, I dont know, but what I do want to know is what the hell Allen is." Burt said.
Allen was at a loss for words.
