The rabbit stood tall on its hind legs and #manipulated it's ears to widen and narrow in deliberate motions.
'Morse code?'Tronbik thought.
'Yes!'Kevin answered.
'Do you understand it?'Beth asked.
'Fear not,friends. My army will escort you.'
'Escort us where?'Ethney asked.

A horde of bunnies appeared and lapped up the spilled azure.Another commotion started in a nearby tree. Green slime rained down as bunnies flew up the trunk. One of them broke from the hunt and approached us. Ethney was terrified,frozen.The bunny #locked its gaze on me.

Sky of gray steel gobbles the sun
I shut my lids to hide from sin
No escape, it’s far from done
Metallic mist slithers over skin
Into pores, into my core
Attacking me from within

'What should we do?'Ethney asked nervously.
'For the 1st time in this #saga ,nothing,'I replied.'Just stay close to the fire & enjoy it.'
There was a rustling in the nearby bushes,a flurry of white fur,and green slime oozed out from beneath the brush.
'1 down!'Kevin said.

'Vampire bunnies?'Waka asked.
'Indeed,'Kevin said.'They've saved us before with their #greed for Andromedan azure blood.'
'But we're hybrid.Are we in danger?'
'No.Earthling hybrids are too similar.They want pure blood.'
'Why are they gathering?'
'Andromedans are close.'

Abandoned in the wasteland,your once precious prize
Forgotten in the dirt to be ravaged by the tide
As the sunlight sinks down,my skin is stretched and plied
Will you miss me when the wind whips at your naked hide?

' #Rat ?'Waka thought telepathically.
'Rabit,'Kevin said.
'Vampire bunnies,'Beth said out loud.
Ethney &the Serpents looked confused.
'They seek and destroy Andromedans,'I explained.'Another of their creations that turned on them.'
'Allies?'
'Absolutely,'I replied smiling.

Goosebumps rise to the salty bite,but still,I let it have me
The liquid licks like needle pricks,my numbing toes delight me
Motors blow,a fog horn groans,greenheads all a-buzzing
While snails rule the tidal pool,osprey perch a-gazing

I felt a cool breeze #brush the back of my neck. Crickets chirped, lightning bugs danced,&our tired alliance dined by the open fire on squirrel meat,wild onions &mushrooms.I noticed a flash of white by a bush. Soon, furry,white critters with ferocious fangs surrounded us.

We ran across the grass to a hedge of trees.The Serpents were moving freely.The sun provided them with an energy they hadn't known for decades.We found an abandoned cabin in the forest.Kevin grabbed an axe & #chopped wood for a fire.I almost felt like an Earthling again.

The world breaks everyone &afterward many are strong at the broken places.But those that will not break it kills. It kills the good,the gentle &the brave impartially.If you are none of these,it will kill you too,but there will be no hurry.

The shore appeared in the morning light.We dragged the others onto a rocky beach.Almost immediately green #fluid rose up between the stones beneath our feet.
'Run,'Rowan instructed telepathically.
We made it to the grass in time to see the beach covered in Azure slime.

Time fractures the majestic monument
Into a mosaic
Tastes&fervors
Jagged fragments cut up every day
In multiple shades
Of splendid confusion
In yearning for
The elementary fabric of infancy
I realize the kaleidoscope that remains
Is also beautiful

We jumped into the sea & #mustered strength to swim to a shore beyond our sight.Tronbik & Rowan elevated the serpents above the frlgid water, & we humans dragged them. I feared what our caravan would look like to a passing ship,but we had more serious threats to consider.

We discussed our next steps,but Ethney was silent,her eyes #glued to Liz's headless corpse.
'It's moving,'I heard her whisper.
I turned to see Liz's foot twitch.
'We need to move now,'Waka said as she helped her siblings up.
'Is she..?'Beth said.
'It's them,'Tronbik said.
#vss365

Liz's headless,armless body failed on the rocks.Tronbik reached a tentacle into her neck, #probed ,and extracted her heart.
'We'll test it,'he said to me.
'For what?'Beth screamed.
'To make sure she no longer shares our DNA.'
'They can change DNA?'
'They can do anything.'

Takes years of calculation to know the tender spots
Right time and place to stick and twist unraveling my knot
I hope that it was worth it,this farce is at an end
You’ll never get a second chance to stab me like a friend

Kevin's ring landed first.Liz lifted her arms in defense.Kevin's ring slipped down her left arm to the elbow,&Ethney's on the right.Beth&I got her around the neck.I heard a brief yelp before all 3 appendages disappeared.I expected to feel guilt,but it was oddly #cathartic . #vss365
