Jeepers Creepers: Vendetta(Haitus)

Chapter 6: The Hatching

Finally! I've been planning since the second book! I really hope you love these new characters and some fluffy cuteness... after some brutal murder. Enjoy!

Corbin nearly crashes into the side of the abandoned building but closes her wings to immediately hit the ground running. She rushes downstairs just as the Creeper sets down the last of eggs in their shared nest. She goes to quickly take a seat next to her mate as she watches for what she's been waiting for years. Corbin instinctively wraps her tail around the Creeper's arm as she eagerly listens to the sounds of tapping and shells cracking.

"This is it."

Corbin whispers in excitement as she watches with bated breath, her anticipation shared with the Creeper who had his eyes glued to the shaking eggs in front of them. They watch a small piece of shell breaks from one of the eggs revealing something grey moving around as more tapping and scrapping sounds could be heard.

"Come on, bambino. Come on."

Corbin quietly encourages as she watches the shell of the first egg crack some more and something writhing around in there attempting to push out, which widens the crack it made to reveal a small grey hand. Another egg had cracks appearing on it as it seemed to pulse as if something were pecking at it. That egg made a breakthrough as well with the accompanied leaking amniotic sac, revealing a small blacktail much like its own mother's. 

"You're doing it, garder pushiny mes enfants"

Corbin urges them in a soft voice laced with her anticipation. The Creeper waits patiently as his brood continues to make their way out of their shells, his talons digging into the ground below them. As much as he wanted to rip open their shells for them, something told him and his mate that they need to do this on their own before they can administer care to their newborns. 

The first egg finally breaks off the top of its shell, spilling more slime out, which showed a small humanoid form taking much of its coloration after its father, with grey smooth scales and fluffy looking white hair. Their wings were thin and practically see-through much like a newborn chick's, that were tightly closed against its back; its eyes shut just as tight as it sniffs at the air while mewling out for warmth and protection.  

"Look at her! She's gorgeous, mon amour."

Corbin squeezes her tail around the Creeper's arm at these words. The Creeper grunts in agreement as he fondly looks over at his newborn daughter. 

'Agreed. Very healthy and strong like her mother.'

 The Creeper nuzzles himself at Corbin's side as she continues to watch their daughter make her way fully out of her shell. Very gently, Corbin scoops her small firstborn up with her hands, who was no bigger than a loaf of bread, as she picks up a clean cloth to start wiping some of the excess slime away from the hatchling, at the same time, Corbin licks at her front to her face to stimulate her breathing and blood flow.

"Reah!"

The hatchling cries out loudly as she reaches a hand out at Corbin's face. Looking closely, Corbin could see her daughter having many features like her own, including her head crest and facial features with a chin like her father's. 

'Hello there copilul meu drag.'

Corbin mentally greets her daughter as she cradles her close to her chest for feeding; her daughter visibly calms as she senses that she'll be taken care of. Corbin starts purring out in response to soothe her newly hatched child. Meanwhile, the Creeper continued to watch his other offspring hatch out of their shells, with more and more confusion on his part. 

The third egg created a large patch of cracks that continue to pulse that only seemed hurried to get out; meanwhile, the second one managed to remove more of its shell, revealing scaley midnight colored hands with small white claws, it continues to push out revealing its hind legs that had barely visible bumps on it. That one made a big enough hole in its front to start making its way out, revealing a small gator-like head with a head crest much like its father with two bumps on its head that could be horns later on.
