Chapter 369 Finding The Lost Sister

?

While all this was happening, one young man was running for his life in the woods of Nebraska.

*Pant Pant Pant*

'I need to hide! I can't stay where they can find me!'

This man was Godrick Lorimayer. Having gone into the woods a few hours back, with three of his friends, Godrick was now alone, bloodied, and terrorized.

Thinking back on their escapade in the woods, he realized just how wrong and stupid they had been.

***

After getting in the truck, Finn and Leeroy were in the truck bed, loading up the guns, all four of them had trailed off like madmen on a mission. Reaching the hiking roads near the bar, they stopped the truck.

Getting out of the vehicle, Godrick and Robby took the guns Finn, and Leeroy handed them. Godrick took his trusted Remington Model 700, leaving Robby with the Winchester Model 70.

Both of them were excellent shots, so the rifles went to them. As for the other two, they took shotguns.

Finn took Godrick's Purdey side-by-side game gun, a double-barrel shotgun with double triggers. Although it was an English shotgun, Godrick had gotten it for cheap on an online auction.

Leeroy, on the other hand, had a Ruger Gold Label in hand. The Ruger was an American-made double-barrel twelve-gauge that Godrick had gotten from his father.

All four guns were on the older side, but worked like new, with how Godrick took care of his firearms. Doing a last verification of their weapons, all four men nodded at each other, before walking down the hiking trail.

They followed the trail for about a mile down, before hooking into the woods. If they believed what Katty had claimed, then this was around where they had been attacked.

Laura had yelled at her to run, while she fought back the first few green men. But as Katty ran away, she saw more of them come out of the woods.

Seeing as they couldn't catch her, because of her long gait compared to their small legs, they gave up the chase. But when she noticed Laura wasn't following her, Katty panicked.

By the time she trekked back, she was nowhere to be seen, and the green men were gone too. She had sprinted out of the woods, so she could get a signal, before calling the police to help.

But no one would believe her when the police arrived, and when they went to check the trails, there were no more tracks aside from hers and Laura's. And Laura's tracks interrupted right then and there.

Katty had repeated her story again and again, to where the police arrested her, claiming she had lost her mind.

But Robby was resolved to prove that his cousin wasn't lying. As they walked into the woods, the silence of the night was quite eerie.

At this time of year, the woods would usually be filled with the noise of night birds, or bugs. But they could hear only silence all around them.

This was enough to put all four of them on high alert. Godrick started doing hand gestures to the three others, signalling them to fan out a bit, but maintain visual on each other.

They also closed their flashlights, not wanting to alert whatever they were going to find.

Fanning out a few meters, all four of them started advancing, watching their surroundings with trained eyes. These men had hunted together more times than they could count, and they knew they could trust each other's backs.

Coming up over a small hill, Robby whistled briefly, catching his friends' attention. He pointed over the hill, signalling them to get low.

All four of them crouched, making their way slowly over the top of the hill, as they got closer to each other. When they crested the top, they saw something that would forever mark them.

The hill went down a few hundred feet, into a small artificial clearing and in front of a mountain with a cliffside facing them. In front of the cliffside, a small village, with huts and a bonfire in the center.

But Godrick and friends had been around these woods many times and had never seen a village here. To make it worse, many small-stature people were walking about the village.

Well, calling them people was a stretch. From afar, their faces were the ugliest things they had ever seen, and their long pointy ears were unnatural, for human beings.

The darkness and red hues from the fire made it difficult to gauge their skin tones, but it was easy to see they weren't white.

The four friends got closer to each other again, getting into whispering distance to each other.

"What the heck are those?" Finn asked.

"I don't know. I'm seeing em' for the first time too, Finn," Robby replied.

"Their aliens. They've come to kidnap our women to experiment on them and repopulate their world!" Leeroy said, his whisper panicky.

"Calm down, Lee. You'll give our position out," Godrick said.

He hadn't stopped looking for his sister while they were talking. This was his priority.

But he was seeing things that were robbing him of hope.

Across the village, in many places in the open, the little green men were having intercourse. But their counterparts didn't seem all too willing.

Godrick put his rifle to his cheek, peering through the scope. What he saw froze his blood.

The little green men were raping human women! All of them were covered in cuts and bruises, and most of them seemed about to die from exhaustion and malnutrition.

For them to be in this state, they had to have been here for days, maybe even weeks. That gave him a bit of hope for his sister to be alive.

But he saw something next that scarred his mind forever.

In a darker corner of the small village, a larger greenish creature was holding in his hands a woman. He was fucking her with violent movements, shoving his cactus-looking dick inside the woman, as she bled all over the ground.

When he adjusted his scope to see the woman better, a small part of him died on the inside. That woman was his sister.

Godrick lost his sense of reason, and opened fire, aiming for the creature's head, making it explode like a watermelon with a firecracker. But by doing this, he alerted every small green man to their presence, and now they were screaming in rage in their direction.

"Open fire! Kill every one of them!" Godric shouted.

But when he turned his head, after not hearing a reply, his heart dropped. Standing above all three of his friends, who were bleeding from their throats, were three other green men, grinning like maniacs.

'Shit!'
