36 Chapter 36 Something not human (2/2)
Thinking again, he dodged around a pack of huge glowing green squids with legs.Their backs were covered in large pulsing boils that emitted the green glow.Their tentacles were nasty looking, and he wanted nothing to do with them.
”Does everything on this planet want to kill you?” she asked, as he dodged past another creature, this time one of the flying rugs that flew down and tried to attack in a clearing.
”Pretty much, there's a few things that don't but I think they're native.”
”Wait, what do you mean by native?”
”Most of the things on this planet were seeded by the Josagn to make their hunts more fun.”
”Makes sense for a Josagn hunting world.How the hell did I get put down here?”
”I think our government handed us over to them as punishment for something we did for our government against them.”
”That sounds messed up.”
”Pretty much.I'm still working on getting my memories back, but I remember being friends with you, which is why I'm trying to save you too.”
”What do you mean by save me?I only have to find somewhere to hide until my year is up.The Josagn don't like water, so I might find a cave somewhere I can fish from.”
”That will never work.The government doesn't care if our time is up or not.As soon as you got that genetic material to be able to breath, you no longer registered as Olivia from earth.You're something not human.”
She opened her mouth to refute his claims, but she shut it instead.
Jumping over a log, he skidded to a halt as a huge white head lifted up over the trees ahead of him.It was another one of those giant snakes.This time it had thicker scales, that shimmered in the last light of the setting sun.He wasn't sure he could dodge it and get away with her on his back.If he failed, she would get hurt or killed.
”Hold on, this is going to get pretty wild!”
She nodded, unable to even scream in her fear.
”PED, grow scale plates over her, as a type of shield.I don't want her getting knocked off or hurt.”
(INITIALIZING EVOLUTION)
”What the hell?” she cried, as scaled plates began to form over her legs.
”I'm trying to protect you.This things venom can kill you if it lands on your skin.”
”Oh God!” she ducked under the plates as they closed over the top of her head.

He had to move fast so that she didn't run out of air!
