The pexelettes

Chapter 1

James POV

I've been watching these creatures for 5 months now but I usually go back to camp earlier than this. Today I decided to stay a bit longer so I can see if they're doing any weird things after I usually leave. A group of all women Pexelettes walk over to a pile of sticks, leaves and rocks which I recently confirmed was a homemade stage used for social gathers. The leader of the group makes her way to the stage and all the others sit on the ground close by waiting for whatever announcement she's about to make.

"Women of Pexelette jungle!" She yells to the crowd."Nainital jungle" I correct her mumbling to myself. Even though the change of names was accepted by us humans, I still like the old ones. The new ones just get all confusing when it's always Pexelette this and Pexelette that. Annoying right? "You all know why we are here!" She continues. "I don't" I say again mumbling to myself. "Today, like all the other days alike 2 of you will be selected one woman and the men are having their meeting for the one man." I carefully jot down everything I am hearing in my notebook.

"And the one that has been chosen today is." She draws out the last part making most of the Pexelettes and me lean forward in anticipation. "Beth!" She calls out as sigh of relief floats across the audience. A short Pexelette with a teddy bear in her hand walks up onto the stage. It's a child!

"Ok Pexelettes, now that we have our girl we will go join the boys for the sacrifice!" Sacrifice? Oh no she is going to sacrifice that poor child. I carefully creep over to another hiding spot near the boys stage. There I see all the tall, muscular guys and on the stage stands a man talking to the group welcoming the girls, and another man shaking nervously. I reach for my camera but it's not in my pocket. I must of dropped it when I was walking to this new hiding spot. Ugh.

All of the women go over into the crowd and the leader of the girls group goes over to the leader of the boys group and kisses him. The must be 2 evil rulers, a king and queen, a- my thoughts get interrupted my the sound of humming. All of the Pexelettes in the audience are humming some sort of sacrificial song or something. What is happening?

The two chosen people are standing on the stage side by side. "Ok, so now it's time you kiss! Go ahead kiss! The faster you kiss the faster you'll go!" The leader of the girls group yells for everyone to hear. Why is she forcing them to kiss? The man picks up the girl and kisses her as the humming swells. As they are kissing both of the leaders pull out blades made from sharp rocks. The boy leader cuts the throat of the girl and the girl leader cuts the throat of the boy. They both fall to the ground their lips separating. They died mid-kiss.

What did I just witness? I feel like throwing up. I knew that there was going to be a sacrifice but I didn't think about how it would make me feel afterwards. But one thing about it stills bothers me. Why are they sacrificing there own people. I mean don't they want to rule the world with there species or something? Why are they shrinking their population.

After everybody leaves the stage I quickly sneak away and head back to camp. As soon as I go in the tent a sigh of relief comes from my co-workers. "Where were you, we were so worried that they saw you or something."

"Guys, I saw something crazy today..." I tell them everything that happened.
