[INDENT]The bustling city of Santa Celia hid many secrets throughout the sprawling coastal metropolis. Among these secrets were the abandoned railway tunnels that dated all the way back to the days when California was still in possession of the Spanish. Over the years they had been retrofitted and updated, seeing use well into the late twentieth century before they were tossed aside for the city’s modern monorail. Opting to suspend the city’s public travel above sea level and instead of below it, numerous funds were put into ensuring the success of the project while the tunnels were slowly forgotten.

The tunnels still found use though, maintenance workers used them for easy traversal of the city’s underbelly and some of the more central tunnels had found new life, converted into a larger sewer to accommodate the city’s significant population growth. But for the most part the tunnels remained buried and forgotten, the last of the city’s street cars laid to rest into the dark corridors. 

Which made them the perfect place to hide.

Crawling along the ceiling of one such tunnel, the pale creature made its way easily through the darkness. Its dark pupils unphased by the lack of light as a constant ‘ticking’ sound echoed through the barren passage ways. Its long tongue hung loosely between the rows of needle like teeth, its bottom jaw hanging ajar as the tongue swung back and forth in rhythm with the creatures movements. 

Scurrying down the rounded wall, the creature’s nostrils flared as he reared up onto its hind legs, assuming a bipedal, vaguely human stance. Continuing forward, it slowed, the edges of its mouth widening as the creature’s gaze was cast upon a dozen egg-shaped sacs firmly adhered to the walls and floor of the tunnel by a darkly-coloured ooze. 

A small silhouette was visible from beneath the translucent membrane that covered the fluid filled sac. The creature’s tongue suddenly moved through the air, snaking towards the top of the womb-like egg, the needle like tip piercing the nipple atop the membrane as the stolen blood was fed into the fetus inside. 

From within the tunnel, a second rhythm of ticking echoed as a larger creature stepped out of the shadows. Similar to the first except in size, the female’s mate walked towards their offspring as its tongue suddenly too snaked through the air before feeding a second fetus. 

The two rhythms synchronized as the pair moved through the remaining eggs, retracting their long tongues upon feeding the final two fetuses. Looking towards one another, the female clicked her tongue as the male shrieked in response before replying with a series of slaps from the pair of wings that adorned his back. 

The female clicked her tongue again as the male nodded, extending his wings as he moved into the air before picking up the female and carrying her through the darkness.

They would yet need more blood.[/INDENT]
