Echo

kicking them with his feet searching for his keys. Sweating, he looked at Echo, seeing her bend over in the dirt to rise with his keys in her hand.
    “Good girl. Let’s go.” Grabbing his ruined shirt, Scotty picked her up, balancing her on his hip and ran for the woods. The sounds of barking dogs faded as they arrived at the clearing, sprinting across the field to the Jeep. Clambering in, they backed out to race home, stopping briefly at a convenience store so Scotty could give the location to the attendant, instructing him to call the cops. Running out the door, Scotty ran back down the road to where he left Echo with the Jeep and hurried home.
    Sneaking carefully into the house, they raced up to Scotty’s bedroom, hoping to avoid waking anyone. It was a comfort to find Barney silently waiting behind the bedroom door, just as they left him, the anxiety plainly set in his eyes.
    As they all settled down in bed, Scotty sent his mind out to reach Echo.
    “We did good, girl. How did the Womb find us there?”
    “The Womb knows all. As long as we are on earth it can find us. It can reach out as far as it needs.”
    “The thing, was that the Womb, that monster? Explain it to me.”
    “No, Brother. It was just an extension of the Womb. The Womb is what you call the Father. You know of it but not all.” Scotty buried himself in the bedcovers, trying to find a comfortable spot for his wings as exhaustion beg for sleep.
    “Someday, will you please tell me what is going on, Echo …?” He yawned, his voice trailed off, deeply asleep as Echo answered Scotty’s already slumbering brain.

    “Why, we are here to exterminate Homo sapiens, of course.” Echo rolled over, slipped her arm around Barney, and easily fell asleep.

Chapter 1
    The pounding on Scotty’s door came late in the morning.
    “Scotty, get out here right now. Scotty. ”
    “Alright, alright.” Going to the door, he found Abby and Jose glaring at him.
    “What the hell did you do?” Jose stood with his hands on his hips, rocking back on his heels, his face purple. Abby’s hands held him back but she didn’t look much happier.
    “What’s the fuss? Hey, can you let the dogs out? I’ll be down in a few minutes.” He rubbed his eyes, half asleep.
    “I’m not kidding, Scotty. You’ve got five minutes.” They turned on their heels, chasing the dogs down the staircase.
    Scotty hurried down the stairs, rubbing his sleepy eyes and yawning. Stealing a quick peek out the terrace doors, he could feel the day already felt like a roaster in the making. He glanced around for Echo, seeing Abby and Jose at the kitchen table, scouring the newspaper. Jose picked up the front page, smacking it down in Scotty’s direction with such force it fell to the floor. Picking it up, he scanned the headline.
    Oh, boy. How in the world did it hit the paper so fast? They must have bumped another story . Scanning the facts, the paper reported the dogs they saved were
