Chapter 7

Blu stayed awake, keeping watch throughout the night. One by one the assassins left, realizing they wouldn’t get a shot at Adan. Any who ventured too near were reminded of how deadly Blu’s eyes were. He respected their customs and killed no one, but a few would be nursing his gentle reminder for weeks. Veikko had watched but said nothing to either Blu or the assassins. He didn’t interfere. Before long, the assassins got the message and gave Blu and Adan a wide birth. Come morning, Blu was feeling deadly. No one touched his little Adan.

When Veikko led them from the safe haven the next morning, a wild storm hit them in the face. Green rain pounded down from the skies in sheets. Thunder on the planet was different than on Blu’s, the noise didn’t boom but exploded in huge black and green vapors, followed by erratic dark green lightning which struck behind enormous objects to silhouette them, display them, and then annihilate the object. Trees uprooted under the assault, the green gas in the air spun wildly in all directions. Mini tornadoes the size of Blu erupted and wildly tore across the ground.

Vegetation in areas took a sabbatical and disappeared under the ground. Large green eyes from mounds of dirt on the ground blinked repeatedly to be rid of the excess moisture. As Blu watched, a few of the mounds slid away, spinning in a lazy motion with the water that seemed to steal them. At their feet, water swirled rising to caress Adan’s ankles. Small waves formed.

Blu pulled Adan closer, trying to shield her but she pulled away. His fur was soaked in green wetness within seconds from the deluge. Veikko was of no help, he had morphed into his quills, the water sizzled as it touched the green light at the pointed tips. He kept his distance from Adan to Blu’s relief. Blu’s hair still waved wildly around but water dripped from his saturated strands.

“I’m sorry, Blu.” Adan shoved him away again. “You look and feel like squishy snot. Booger Blu.”

Adan didn’t look much better. She was sodden; she gripped her shirt and pulled it from her flesh, making a strange noise when she tried to wring it out. She was shivering. Blu didn’t notice the cold, but it was apparent Adan was feeling it.

“We need something to shield her with,” Blu shouted over the noise of the storm.

“I have an idea,” Veikko shouted back.

He made his way to a moss covered mass of rocks and searched. When he returned he was holding a long cocoon. What had been living in it was gone. It was long enough to cover Adan from head to toe but it would limit her movement. Blu held the cocoon and encouraged Adan to climb in.

“You can’t be serious,” she yelled.

“It’s dry inside. It’ll keep you warm.”

The ground shook and Blu steadied her as Adan almost lost her balance. To their right a crack in the ground sounded as a sink hole opened.
