Rage

“The attacks are getting more and more frequent,” Sturdy said, looking at me.

“I know,” I answered grimly. “That asshole, White, is a p***y. It’s about time we take matters into our own hands here. The humans are weak.”

“I spoke to Diamond,” Sturdy said with a grin. “She f****d a soldier, and she said that the humans are so ill-equipped that she didn’t feel a thing.”

I laughed.

“Look at their women,” I said. “They wouldn’t survive getting f****d by one of us. They are to small and fragile.”

“Umm, it does work, though,” Happy chimed in.

Sturdy and I looked at him, and Happy blushed.

“What do you mean, Happy?” Sturdy asked. “Did you do one of them?”

“So, what?” Happy replied. “It’s none of your business. I am no friend of humans, but their women are alright.”

“Who was it?” I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.

“One of the nurses.”

“And you didn’t—I mean, she didn’t break or anything?” Sturdy asked.

“No! She liked it. We even met a few times after that.”

“You still f**k her?” I asked.

“Um, we saw each other three times,” Happy said. “But she is back on Earth. Her time here was up.”

“Wouldn’t work for me,” I said. “I’m too sexually aggressive. Even our women are not all able to cope. You have less of our DNA, Happy. Sturdy and I would hurt a human woman. Maybe even kill her. We better stick to Alien Breed women. I prefer women like Cat or Blue. They are third-generation Breeds and strong. They can handle us.”

“Yeah, I like Blue,” Sturdy agreed. “I wouldn’t mind mating with her, but she is too damn independent. She doesn’t want to be shackled down.”

“You and I both know we’re not mating material, my friend,” I said.

A sound from above made us look up into the sky.

“I didn’t know there was a shuttle coming in today,” Happy said.

“Me neither,” I agreed, following the shuttle down with my eyes.

“It’ll get dark soon,” Sturdy said. “Anybody want to join me for a quick hunt?”

“Yeah, why not,” I replied with a shrug. “What about you, Happy?” Happy shook his head.

“No,” he said. “I want to go to the shop. I need a new battery. Otherwise I’ll be sitting in the dark soon. But we can meet up in the Clubhouse later on—have a drink and maybe pick up a female.”

“I’ll come,” Sturdy answered. They both looked at me and I nodded.

“Yeah, why not?” I said. “I’ll come for a drink or two.”

The hunt was a success. We got a small Barrgo. The soldiers said that a Barrgo was similar to a small deer. Before coming here, I had only been in a military camp for a short time after my rescue from DMI, so I didn’t know much about wildlife on Earth. I couldn’t really say if the soldiers were right or not. We brought our catch into my house to skin it and divide it into three portions for Sturdy, Happy and myself. Sturdy put his share into a pack and hung it over his broad shoulder. Sturdy was one of the strongest and biggest of us, hence his name. Standing at six feet ten inches, I was one of the tallest, but Sturdy had another four inches on me. He was also broader than any of us. Compared to us, the soldiers looked like kids with weapons. Which was probably why we were only allowed to have longbows for hunting.

Roughly nine years ago, the humans brought us here. They named the planet Eden because it looked like a paradise, though it was far from it. The native people, the Jinggs, were aggressive and attacked our colony again and again. I couldn’t blame them. It was their planet after all. But what could I do? We Alien Breeds didn’t have our own planet. We were not any more at home on Earth than we were here.

“See you later,” Sturdy said and opened the door.

“Yeah, I’ll be at the Clubhouse in an hour or so,” I said.

Sturdy nodded and left. I put my share of the meat into the fridge and went to the bathroom to wash off the sweat and blood. After I showered and dressed, I sat down in my chair and turned on the TV—the government had equipped us with modern conveniences to compensate for what they did to us. In my eyes, it was a lame attempt to repair their damaged reputation.

The government was put under a lot of pressure after we got rescued. Many humans were upset about DMI’s secret experiments. But there were also a few who wanted us eliminated. There were still many humans who hated us because we were supposedly dangerous—as if we were the ones who asked for all of this. It was ruthless scientists who created and tortured us. It wasn’t like we had a say in the matter.

I switched from one channel to the next—we had twelve different TV channels here on Eden. I liked the music channel and the action movies. I came to the news channel and stopped when I saw a familiar face that awakened memories I would rather forget. A woman’s voice spoke about a team of four humans that had been sent to Eden to help us, while the screen displayed pictures of two men and two women. I stared at the TV in disbelief. That couldn’t be. My heart beat faster and I growled. What was SHE doing here? I couldn’t believe that she of all women would dare come to Eden.

I looked around excitedly. It didn’t really look all that different from Earth. The houses were simple. This could easily be a settling in South America. The red sand under my feet wasn’t dusty—it was the rainy season, so the dirt remained settled. The rains would stop in about two months, and then it would be dry and dusty. In the dry season, the nights were cooler but there was no winter on Eden—it would never get cold here. Although it was already evening, and the sun had gone down two hours ago, it was still well over 80 degrees.

I had been working in Brazil for two years and was familiar with a climate like this. That was not the case for doctor Forster, who was huffing and puffing next to me as if he would have a heart attack any minute. I looked at him with concern. He was fifty-nine—the oldest of us. Maybe it would have been better if he had stayed on Earth.

“Are you alright, Andreas?” I enquired.

“I’m not used to the heat,” he panted. “But it’ll be okay in a minute. I am looking forward to a nice cold beer.” He turned to Sergeant Blakes. “You have beer here, I hope?”

“Yes, we have,” the young sergeant answered. “Don’t you worry, doctor. You will feel right at home. Apart from the Jinggs, this is much like South America. We have even succeeded in growing many fruits and vegetables from good old Earth here in our gardens. I have a mango tree in my garden. I have so many mangos I can give them away.”

There were four of us total to arrive today. Doctor Forster was the replacement for the old head physician. Julia Briggs was a biologist. She was here to study the local plant- and wildlife. Last was Samuel Torrentino. He was a teacher and was supposed to open a school, since some of the soldiers had a wife and kids here. I was going to work in the hospital with doctor Forster.

“What about wild animals?” Julia asked. “Do they come into the village sometimes, or do they stay in the woods?”

“We haven’t had any problems with wild animals so far,” Sergeant Blakes replied. “We have our watch dogs, and the wild animals don’t come close to the settlement. The only wildlife you will see here are insects—lots of them—birds, and some rat-like animal that is absolutely harmless.”

“I can’t wait to start working,” Julia said excitedly.

“Here we are,” Sergeant Blakes announced. “This is our Clubhouse. We all come here—soldiers as well as Alien Breeds.”

We were standing in front of a two-story building with muffled music coming from within. The sergeant opened the door and showed us in. Every head in the building turned to look at us. Inside, the music was much louder, and I barely heard anything Blakes said. I was too busy looking around anyway. As Blakes had said, there were soldiers and Breeds in this Club.

In the middle of the room was an open floor for dancing surrounded by tables, many of which were occupied. In the far corner was a bar where people sat with their drinks. Apart from the Alien Breed I encountered at DMI years ago, I had never been up close to one. Now I was surrounded by Breeds. I wondered if the man I saw at DMI was also here. There were two colonies on Eden, so there was also a chance he was in the other one.

“What did you say?” I asked Blakes, who had said something while I was off in my own thoughts.

“I said there is a free table over there,” he yelled, pointing to the other end of the room. He led us to a table next to the dance floor. Everybody went back to their own conversations.

I was excited. When I left DMI and went to the press, I hadn’t known how many Alien Breeds had been created by the scientists. I had been right about the involvement of the government, though. In the DMI building I worked in had been sixty-two men and thirty-eight women. Another facility in Mexico had housed a hundred and forty-eight men and seventy-four women. Only four years ago, another facility had been detected in Arizona. There, thirty-nine men and eight women had been freed.

“What would you like to drink?” Sergeant Blakes asked.

“What else apart from beer to they serve here?” Julia asked.

“We have wine, cider, whisky, brandy, vodka, soft drinks, and coffee,” Blakes answered.

“Do they have orange juice?” she asked. When Blakes nodded she said, “Okay, then I’ll have vodka and orange juice.”

“Me, too,” I said.

“Beer for me, please,” said Andreas.

“A beer for me, too,” Samuel chimed in.

Blakes left to get the drinks from the bar. I noticed a woman on the dance floor. She was at least six feet tall and had a body I wouldn’t achieve if I worked out ten hours a day. All Alien Breeds were muscular by default. It was in their DNA, male and female alike. I admired the way this woman moved to the music. So sensual. Sexy. Next to her I felt plain and fat. To make thing worse, that woman had the most stunning hair that fell down to her a*s in shiny waves. I noticed that every Alien Breed here, male or female, was frustratingly attractive. I couldn’t help but get really hung up on it.

After the third drink I really needed to pee.

“Where are the toilets?” I asked Blakes.

“Through that door over there and down the stairs,” Blakes explained as he pointed to where I needed to go.

“And what is upstairs?” Samuel asked.

“There is a game room with pool, table football, and tables for card games. There is also a little bistro and a bar where they play music videos.”

“Pool?” Julia shrieked. “Does anybody want to play?”

“I’ll play,” I answered. “But later. Now I really have to pee.”

I got up and made my way through the tables towards the door. I noticed the stares from others in the room and felt insecure. I didn’t have as much confidence as Julia. She seemed to feel completely at ease here. I wasn’t used to having so many strangers around me. And so many sexy hunks with delicious muscles that were practically begging to be touched. I blushed at my thoughts and hurried my steps—why was that damn door so far away?

Once on the other side, I was relieved to be alone. I ran down the stairs to the basement, where the toilets were located. A female soldier was just washing her hands when I entered. She smiled at me.

“You new here?” she asked.

“Yeah,” I said. “I arrived today.”

“You will like it here,” the woman said. “My name is Cloé.”

“Jessie.”

“Cool. See you later,” Cloé said with a smile and left the bathroom.

“Okay. See you,” I said to the empty room.

When I was back on the ground level, three men came down from the first floor. All three were Alien Breeds. I froze when I noticed one of them who looked very familiar. It was him! The man I saw at DMI. His hair was shorter—now it only hung down to his broad shoulders—but I was certain it was him. How often had I dreamed about him since I gave the pictures to the press that helped free all of them? Sometimes they were bad dreams where men in white coats and surgical masks tortured him. In other dreams, he was free—and he kissed me. These kinds of dreams were more disturbing than the ones about the t*****e because I would always wake up aroused and with this strange longing.
