Anulla's First Kill by ANTMAN   Anulla, barefoot, noiselessly moved through the forest. Picking handfuls of berries, and dropping them into a wickerwork basket she carried . The seventeen year old was dressed in the breechclout and breast covering that the rest of her tribe wore. Her dark hair was plaited into two pigtails. Her tall lean body was bronzed, and tautly muscled. She glanced up..at the morning light that dappled the canopy with sunshine..as the birds set up a raucous dawn chorus. Suddenly she tensed, her dark eyes narrowing in concentration, as she listened. Her keen ears picked up a sound not heard before..low, deep rumblings. She carefully placed the basket on the ground, and crept foreward. Behind the trunk of a large tree, she paused..her eyes opening wide in surprise, and alarm. Before her, was a clearing in the forest, with a dozen small tents pitched around it. Out of these issued the low drunken snores, she had heard. Piles of scattered beer cans proved that the occupants of the tents were well asleep. Near the edge of the clearing, six pack mules were tethered. And opposite her, sat on a log, his broad back towards her,  a guard dressed in army fatigues, nursed a rifle on his knees, his blonde hair nodding, either due to fatigueness or the effect of the half dozen beer cans, he had whiled his watch away with. She tensed...another group of men, trying to find the remains of the once mighty Amazon nation, which ruled this land . Now, due to the encroachment of civilisation, the tribes had shrunk, and were now hidden in the swathes of the mighty rainforest. Anulla knew what discovery meant, by brutish men - rape, pillage and murder, with captives being brought to "civilisated"  America to be studied, like wild animals ! Suddely , the man burped, and laid his rifle down. He stood and stretched, then wandering over to a tree on the edge of the clearing, his hand unzipped his flies. A stream of steaming urine trickled down the trunk . Anulla knew that she should get back, and warn the village, but the idea of her first male kill sent a shudder of pleasure through her ,..there would be time after.. She trotted foreward, silently, and stood behind the guard as he zipped up his flies, with a satisfied sigh. As he stood straight,Anulla chopped down hard with the edges of her hands into the man's neck. something exploded in his brain..and he slumped semi conscious against the tree She spun him around, held him upright, and drove her knee viciously into his groin. With an agonised moan, he dropped to his knees, wretching and feeling shards of unbelievable pain slicing into his brain. As he knelt, dazed and in agony, Anulla stood for a minute, to see whether anyone else in the tents had been awakened...all was still...except for the loud snores. She bent down, and coiled a slim, tanned arm around his neck, using a knee in his back to raise him up. She dragged him backwards deeper into the undergrowth, his  cries being strangled by the slim, but strong forearm, clamped across his throat. She backed up, dragging the struggling man with her, until she reached a couple of falled trees, Then she locked her grip tight into a stranglehold. She settled herself on the trunk of the tree, bending him back into her..his hands pulling at her arms, which were clamped tight,  restricting his breathing. She pulled back harder, bending his back still more over the tree, and as he knelt there She slid her supple legs around his middle. Now , he was in a desperate situation, kneeling down, with her lithe legs clamping him to her, He  was weakened by all the beer he had drunk, and her sudden attack on him. Desperately he tried to roll away, only for Anulla to clamp her scissors tight causing him to gasp in pain, as her hardened thigh muscles bit into his sides. He pawed weakly at her arms tightly keeping the stranglehold on, feeling his senses swim from the relentless pressure. Realising , he was her's for the taking, Anulla released the stranglehold, and swung her legs up. His gasps of air, were only for a few seconds , as she slid her smooth thighs around his neck, and clamped a devastating scissors on.she slid around behind him, and squeezed  with all her strength..her strong inner thigh muscles , sending his senses swimming, as she closed the flow of blood to his brain. Looking through the thick covering of foliage in front of them, he barely made out the tents,,and prayed that someone would awake, notice he was gone, and come looking for him. But, there was no relief or escape for him..the beer had don't it's job well, the camp snored on peacefully. She laughed softly, at his feeble attempts to free himself, and reached down with one hand to grip his hair.It was time to finish this, and get back to the village..She pulled his head back, and slid her legs into a figure  four stranglehold.Keeping his head pulled back, with her grip on his hair,  her steely calf clamped his throat throat closed. She reached down, with her left hand to grip her foot, and pulling it back hard, the man's fate was sealed . The man struggled weakly..but gradually, his writhings ceased, and as Anulla, watched coldly, his hands slipped from her smooth legs, and he faded into blackness. Anulla kept the lock on tight, and tthen reached down to check there was no pulse. She unlocked her legs, allowing his body to slide to the floor, and thencarefully moved around the edge of the still sleeping camp towards where she had left her wickerwork basket......To Be Continued
