to join us! The transport that is being built will be finished and sent to Earth to gather more females and males this time. We will succeed this time and replenish our world.”
     
                  A weak cheer went up from the crowd. At least they didn’t reject him as their new leader. He could only imagine what they all thought when word reached Lephus that Ruehar had been killed. Without someone to step forward and take control, they were all doomed to die on the miserable planet they lived on.
     
                  “I would also like to relocate us to a new home. A home that has so many more things that we can benefit from. It is a smaller place but well suited to fit our needs. By the end of the next solar week, I plan to have everyone relocated to Napra.” Whispers raced through the people when he revealed the name of their new home.
     
                  Napra was a small moon that orbited a giant planet in their galaxy, Epsilon. He had never been there until yesterday when he flew his ship to the moon to scout it out for a future home. The moon itself was uninhabited by intelligent life but offered everything else they would need to start a new life. The mountains he flew over would provide great cover from those who were nosy enough to visit. The air was breathable and at the right pressure in order for them to survive, as well as plenty of vegetation and trees to build new homes.
     
                  He even landed his ship in a clearing by a river that was rushing down from the great mountain tops. The water on the planet needed to be suitable in order to do anything on the moon. Using his survival kit is his ship, he scooped up some of the clear water and put it in the long cylinder tube. Next, he added a couple of drops of the water clarifying solution that was a vital part of every survival kit. He swirled the tube then waited for it to turn any other color. If it remains clear, the water is drinkable. He waited extra-long just to make sure the drops were still good and didn’t provide a false reading. Satisfied with the results, he headed to Lephus.
     
                  “What can we do to prepare for our exodus?” someone in the crowd called out to him.
     
                  It felt good to have someone asking him what to do. For so long he had taken orders from Ruehar and followed them without a flaw. Now it was his turn to give out the orders.
     
                  “Go home and pack up your belongings. The first wave will leave here in three days. Those with any kind of building skills will be on that first ship. I have a location where I want to rebuild our home and I am positive you will love it.” He smiled at the upturned faces gazing at him as if were some kind of a god.
     
                  He stood and watched as the crowd began to leave the area. Many were talking and chatting with excitement while some didn’t say a word. The few small children they had were running and jumping enthusiastically as they thought about the adventure they were about to embark on.
     
                  Yes , he smiled smugly to himself , this was definitely the right move . He would be able to make Napra a kingdom of his own.

                  This was bullshit! Kelly paced back and forth in the bedroom until her bare feet started to hurt. The big ape had actually left and locked her in the room! As soon as he left she had searched the rooms for another exit but didn’t find out. Her only other choice would be to jump of the balcony! In a way, it did make her feel more secure knowing that no one could get into the room any other way unlike what had happened at Maggie’s.
     
                  That was the one time she felt utterly powerless to protect herself or her friends. The man who had tackled her pinned her to the floor with all of
