lighter than the last one but not as light as the first one, and had a smooth floor without the holes that had slowed him down. Feeling the need for speed, he kicked it into high gear hoping to gain ground. Even though he could tell his female had sped up too, he was catching up to her.
    Hitting the next cavern, he stopped in shock as his eyes absorbed the purple grass and huge tree trunks in front of him. All the colors of a rainbow, a rare phenomenon on this planet but common, or so he’d heard, on Earth, spread out before him. There was water in abundance, not only in pools, but there was a stream, a large one. It was probably part of an underground river that cut through this mountain. Had he not been hunting his wayward mate, he would have enjoyed exploring and discovering all the plant and animal life present here.
    A scream ripped through the air, but it was such an inhuman sound. Never had he heard anything like it. Thankfully it sounded nothing like a human should sound. Nevertheless, he needed to hurry to see what had happened. The grass that looked so lovely was harder to walk on than porous rocks had been. A slithering vine crawled along the ground but when he came near it quickly jerked out of his way. It wasn’t long before he discovered why the vine seemed frightened of him. A foot long section of vine had been separated by a sharp object. It would be his guess the vine was carnivorous and his mate its intended prey. She was probably carrying a knife and that was lucky for her.
    Frightened, she had sawed through the vine roughly causing it a great deal of pain. The vine wouldn’t bother her again but it was just an example of how dangerous this cave was. There were things here that neither of them was familiar with. The sooner he found her and they got out of here, the better. Unfortunately, she had put on a burst of speed after she’d broken free of the vine. Looking around, he saw no sign of her and her scent was growing fainter by the second. Terror had given her wings and she was flying away from him.
    Moving in the direction she had raced took him out of this cavern. He wondered what the hell would come next. It wasn’t long before he saw another tight passageway. It was passable, but she would get through faster since she was smaller. The best thing to do was just head in as fast as possible and hope at some point it widened. The tunnel was dark but the walls were smooth. It made him wonder if they were natural like lava vents or artificial as in made by an advanced race at a time in the past. This was the worst possible time to discover such an incredible place. Of course without his mate, it would still be undiscovered.
    The tunnels grew lighter as he moved along and he entered a small rounded cavern. There was no way out and as his eyes scanned the room he found his mate sitting on the floor completely dejected.
    “You are mine now. I am Razar, your mate.” His voice was matter of fact hiding the sense of victory that rolled over him.
    “I am Lista, but I will never be yours.” It was easy to see her rebellious nature. Their mating would be a challenge every day. She would make his life exciting and he would make her happy once she accepted she was his.
    Razar pulled out his communicator and took a picture of her. “I just sent in your picture which confirms I’ve caught you. You won’t be allowed to leave for one year unless I’m with you. That is the agreement, Sweetheart. The mating is permanent but after a year they will no longer enforce your residence, that will be my job.”
    She sent him a look that would make a lesser male doubt his ability to keep her. He had no doubts, she was his and his she would remain. Holding out his hand, she refused to take it and she got to her feet on her own. At least she wasn’t being unreasonable, she did stand up. Motioning for her to walk in front of him, he looked around at the odd cavern. Sometime soon he would come back and explore this place
