Story teaser

Part of another story. No title as of yet.

It was the dead of night. The ever-present chirping of crickets seemed louder, sharper then usual. The only light was the glow of a campfire, its glow seemingly choked by the thick darkness. Silhouetted in front of it where two human solders, one pacing nervously and the other seeming relaxed.
"They're going to find us... and kill us!" muttered the pacing human, shaking his head. The other let out a snort of contempt.
"Don't be a coward. Those half-beast savages aren't smart enough to notice us here." The pacing man turned to him, appearing shocked.
"Won't notice us!? We're in the middle of their territory, with a blazing fire to mark us for death! They might be savages but they can see a fire in the dead of night, that's for sure!"
"Stop being so superstitious! Anyway, even if they did see us, we could take down twenty of those ugly monsters each! Well, I could. You might be able to take two, if you're lucky." the other human said, sneering.
"What! I could take four times as many as you!" shouted the other. A torrent of curses rushed from them as they argued -- neither of them noticed the slightest movement behind them.
The bushes rattled. The crickets stopped chirping. The humans stopped arguing and looked around, confused.
"What's going -" the nervous man turned a quick 360, stopping suddenly when he faced the bushes. The other man looked at him like he was crazy.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked, and then froze as well. Two sets of glittering eyes starred at them, seeming to mock them. In the light of the fire, the humans could see the glittering green and icy blue eyes clearly.
"Moonblo-" and the night exploded in to roars.

On another note, I'm up at lake Huron 'till Friday. At the beach. It's beautiful up here! I will post pics to make you wish you where me.

Also!

I looked at the calender and realized, out of a stroke of luck, we are getting the puppy on August 22. That's my birthday. Yay!

Also x2!

In september we might go up to Macknac (sp?) island for a day or two. I always wanted to go up there!

Awesome story, and awesome other stuff.

What about that story that I'm in? Where I'm an insufferable but awesome know-it-all?

This is that story, actually. Just the prolog. I will post more soon, with Blueleaf (you) in it!

Also, we are actually getting the puppy on the 27th, not 22nd. Oh well.
