Prologue

VENNOUS

HOME PLANET OF THE INTELI

CLAN CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS

“
We have tried everything.
If we don’t find a solution, we will be extinct in little less than
a thousand years.” The head of the science department, Olrica,
yelled over the mumbling clan leaders and other representatives.
They all quieted when he stated how long they had. “There are only
three other species in the universe we have found so far that are
compatible with us to breed offspring. Out of those three, none are
even close to being as advanced as we are.”

Making sure he had everyone’s
attention, he looked at as many as he could. “I myself am hesitant
concerning these species. Men, here are your choices: The
Mermonfrinch. The first problem with them is they can’t be out of
the water for more than a couple of hours. Secondly their skin is
slimy. Thirdly, they have fins instead of hands. I can go on, but
let us take a vote. Could any of you mate with one?” He put up a
hologram of a group of Mermonfrinch.

“
No, Olrica,” yelled the
Inteli men throughout the room.

It was unanimous. No one was desperate
enough to mate with a Mermonfrinch. Olrica ran his claws through
his green hair. “That leaves us two options. The next is the Apas.
Positive first, they have claws.” He put the image on the hologram
and heard the disappointed sighs. “As you can see, that is really
their only positive. The tallest I have seen comes to my waist.
They are covered in rough hair, and they don’t have too much shape.
The major problem is they are extremely primitive and haven’t even
mastered speaking. Apas communicate with grunts and
noises.”

Before he could finish the room was
filled with, “No.”

“
Come on, Olrica. Be
serious.”

“
The smallest of us is six
feet five.”

He looked to his youmnda. She sat at
the front with a couple of other women representatives. She nodded
at him, giving him the courage he needed. “The last and only other
option are called Humans.” Olrica put the hologram up, and the room
went instantly quiet. “Yes, as you can see they are unusually
alluring beings. You can all see they have problems, too. For one,
they live very short life spans, but that can be easily fixed.
Second, they are not as tall as we, nor built like us. Their sizes
vary as you can see, along with their height. Their skin is nothing
like our hard-plated skin. Their skin is soft and easy to mark.
They also have no claws. The most positive thing about these Humans
is … they reproduce very easily.”

All this information didn’t seem to
put them off. A lot of men were coming closer to the hologram.
Danickra, leader of the Yellow Clan, spoke up as he stood in front
of the hologram.

“
I and six of my best men
will take my finest ship and gladly check out this option, and
acquire a couple of subjects from this planet.”

Olrica smiled as the leader of the
Blue Clan, Zinoro, spoke up offering his assistance. It went on
like this until all ten clan leaders were coming with at least
three of their best men. His youmnda Uvinya winked at him, then
stood up. “I will come with my youmnda. I have a feeling these poor
beings will need a woman to help explain why they’ve been taken,
and settle them in.”

Olrica smiled at his youmnda, and
before he could continue Dannina, the oldest woman on Vennous,
stood up and spoke. “I have a felling you’re going to need Uvinya
and me, so when you bring home these new treasures home, they have
a face and a friend they already know.”

Dannina sat back down with a huge grin
on her face as all the clan leaders fought to talk at once. Olrica
let out the breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. This was
going to work. This had to work. Humans were their last and only
hope to save their race.

Chapter One

Opal picked up the shot, downed it,
and looked at her friend Heather, who seemed to be keeping up with
her. She smiled sweetly at the bartender, Rick, who was her friend
from school. “Another round of Cock-Sucking Cowboys.”

Rick nodded, and she placed more money
on the bar. She frowned when he placed a bottle of water in front
of her. “Sorry, Opal, but you’ve had enough and I’m really not
allowed to give you the amount of alcohol you’ve already
had.”

Heather spoke up behind her. “Opal,
honey, I think you've had enough. It’s getting close to midnight,
and you have been drinking since seven o’clock-ish. Look, I know
you’re upset about Tim, but he’s really not worth it. I mean come
on, you’d been with him three months and you still hadn’t done the
deed.”

She glared at her supposed best
friend, still in her businesses suit. Heather looked immaculate,
even after drinking with her for the last five hours. “Yeah, well,
let’s see how happy you would be if you walked in on your boyfriend
fucking somebody. And not a woman. A man. Oh, my God, Heather, do
you think I turned a man gay? Maybe I should just sleep with
someone here and get the deed over with. Do you see any guy
desperate enough to pop my cherry?”

“
No. Come on, Opal, you’ve
had way too much alcohol. Let’s go across the road, sit, sober up,
and talk on the beach.”

Heather pulled her gently by the arm,
and they left the bar. They walked across the road to the beach,
then started heading towards the rocks. Opal stumbled several
times. “Shit! I’m drunks.”

“
That will happen when you
do shots for almost five hours. You should have passed out by now.
I have no idea how you are still standing. I asked Rick two hours
ago to start making my shots with choc milk to trick
you.”

“
Thatzs ass dirty tricks,
Heather. You’re supposeddd to gets drunks withz me.”

“
Well, someone has to look
after you, Opal.”

Stumbling on the sand, Opal fell to
the ground. Once there she scrambled into a sitting position.
“Heather, I’mza a loser. Howz could I not knows me boyfriend is
gay? My Godz, ourz best friend is gays. Aaaarrrgh, Ethans warned
mez about him. He’s said he showers longerded than I did, andz has
more shoesz and clothesss. Alsoss when a guy voluntarilyzz takes
you to chick flicksss and doesn’t trys to sees the action moviez
instead, thenz he is gays, along with his music collection. I
laughzed and told Ethans just cause he had more clothesss and
shoesss than me, and he likeds going to chick flicksss didn’t make
everyone else whoz does gays! Thank Gods he didn’tz says anything
when I calledz him tonights.”

“
Why isn’t he
here?”

“
Hez is doings, work for a
hugez alienss photo shoot. Saids he would come see me tomorrowz.
Ohz, and Heather, Ethans also said last weeks he fought Tim was
checking him out. I should have listenedz, but no… notz me, I
laughed him off agains. I’mza gonna die a virgins at this rate.
Howz manys twenty-five year old virginsz who aren’t nunsss are
there? Isa probably asa new record.” Heather sat down beside her,
and Opal groaned. “Nowsa I’m becoming onzes of those annoying
womens who complained about their lifes all the timez.”

Heather laughed. “Ah sweetheart, your
boyfriend just cheated on you, and not with some pretty big-boobed
blond.” Heather patted her leg. “It could always be worse,
Opal.”

“
Yeah wanna to tellz mes
how?”

“
It could have been
Ethan’s lily-white arse you saw in the air fucking your
boyfriend.”

They both laughed and lay back on the
sand. “Heather, don’t even thinks that. Myz lucks bad enough as is.
Whyz can’ts I find a guys like the heroes in the books Iza
reads?”

Heather laughed harder. “Yeah, Opal,
some hot hunky alien should come and take us away from our dreary
lives. Um, cos that happens every—”

Heathers words where cut off as a
bright light come towards them. They looked for the source,
thinking someone was shining a torch at them. Opal covered her eyes
as the light got bigger and brighter.

Opal screamed and grabbed a hold of
Heather, as she looked franticly about for someone, something,
anything, that could help them as they started floating up in the
air. The lights become almost blinding.

Opal’s voice became hoarse from
screaming, and all of a sudden all the alcohol in the world
couldn’t make her drunk. Looking at Heather, who looked just as
terrified as she, they stopped screaming when they were so high up
that the cars looked like matchboxes.
