She didn’t run.

  She didn’t scream.

  She talked to an other.

  She looked for the other again.

  She found the other.

  She talked as if the other was just like her.

  She was…what was that word?

  The female with the dark hair that faded into deep blue.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  The female with the starlight eyes.

  He saw her in the other’s mind.

  They felt drawn to her.

  He didn’t have to command many to follow.

  They followed the female wherever she went.

  The female who had protected the young ones.

  Protect.

  Yes.

  He would make sure she was protected, too.

  The young ones were…

  They weren’t under his command.

  They were something…

  Something important.

  He shook his head and looked up at the stars that night.

  He would keep his others protected.

  ‘Safety in numbers,’ instinct told.

  He would get more others.

  Together, they would be stronger.
