A/N Attention attention, this is my first attempt at a Predator and Alien fic. I beg of you no flames. This thing will most likely be edited a couple dozen times until I'm satisfied with it. However, I do hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Be warned this is a sort of self-insertion fic. It is easier to keep the characters the way they are. Because it is loosely based around my friends and I, who have helped me write this fic, so I can't really screw up the characters. XD Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape, or form own Predator or Aliens. So evil people in suits can back away.
Chapter 1
You know how you just have one of those nights that no matter how much you try you just can't seem to get to sleep. Yea well, I was having one of those nights. And no amount of swearing or bashing my head against the pillows was going to change that.
My laptop sat open on the small table in my room, the damned program I was loading just hitting the fifty percent mark. I glared back at the blood red digital numbers on my alarm clock and groan audibly. 'Four o'clock in the frickin' morning and this this still hasn't finished loading.' I thought darkly, flopping back on my pillows. I closed my eyes and rubbed the bridge of my nose, trying to get rid of the headache I had developed. My laptop made an odd beeping sound that caused my eyes to snap open. Looking over, I bit back curses when the screen turned blued and in big bold white letters, it stated across the screen Now Dumping Physical Memory.
"Oh no you don't you fucker, that has all my stories on it!" I growled, diving off my bed for it. I quickly held down the power button, then gave off a suffered sigh before turning it back on. Much to my relief there was nothing missing. 'The damned program even finished downloading.' I snorted. Typical. Lightning lit up my room for a brief moment before returning me to a dimly lit room. I gently closed my laptop and covered it to block the small but bright charging light. I flopped back on my bed and pulled the sheet and blanket over my tired but stubborn body. 'My mother is going to kill me.' I thought, trying to make myself comfortable. I closed my eyes, and let the storm raging outside lull me to sleep.
I woke with a jolt and a loud oof as I landed hard on the floor in an unceremonious heap of limbs and fabric. In spite of the hardness, it felt good just to lay there. So good in fact, that I was falling back to sleep. That idea was shattered when the door flew open and hit me on the head.
"What the hell?" I sputtered, rubbing my abused head. I was so preoccupied that I didn't realize I had something behind me until an extra weight laid across my back.
"Mew." the large black mass of fur said, purring loudly in my ear.
"Good morning to you too Indi, now get off my back to I can get up." I yawned, pushing the over sized cat off my back. He looked at with through golden eyes before falling on his side purring.
"Goofy fur ball." I laughed, scratching him on his belly. I absently thought on how big he had gotten. I never really thought he would get that big when I brought him home. He was currently the size of my border collie, and yet it still seemed like he was getting bigger by the day. I shrugged the thought off and stretched, earning satisfying pops from my neck, back, and shoulders. It took me a moment to untangle myself from my sheets but I managed. Grabbing a random pile of clothes as I stood, I ran down stairs, Indi hot on my heels. I nearly fell on my ass when the collie sized cat shoved past me. I snorted, but continued my way to the bathroom. Other than the sound of Indi purring in the other room, the house was unusually silent. Shrugging it off, I went through my normal routine for the morning.
Last minute, I glanced at myself in the mirror, before stopping completely in front of it and laughing when I took in my details. Though my mother (and the rest of my family for that matter) had been against it, my shoulder length black hair was streaked red, purple, and blue. Some of my bangs falling into my eyes, the rest naturally spiking up, vaguely reminding me of an anime character. I laughed even harder at the eyebrow piercing. My sister had taken me out on a whim to get it done. To say my mother was freaked would have been an understatement. If looks could kill, my sister and I would have been six feet under long ago. My eyes were a little blood shot from the lack of sleep, but they still managed to sparkle back at me a brownish green color. My friends often referring to them as my built in mood ring. I started laughing again at the thought. I was just under six feet. And even though I could be extremely lazy, I was in good shape. (Six and a half years of horseback riding and kickboxing will do that to a person.) I liked my lips and winced slightly when I realized on of them was split. My skin was a dark brown, but you could still see the scars I had on my arms. I gave a sigh, whether out of habit or something else I did not know. The sound of the cicadas floated to my ears, earning another half thought of sigh. 'Joy, more heat.' I thought, resting my hands on the sink.
To be honest, extreme temperatures never really bothered me. Yea, I'm an odd one. Weird and insane, as my mother so fondly put it many times. People act like that's a bad thing, hmm go figure. I left the bathroom and looked out the living room window.
"Mom's gone." I mumbled, making my way towards to kitchen. Sighing again I opened the frig, trying to find something light to eat. Indi came trotting in, sticking his big head into the frig and meowing quietly.
"I take it no one fed you?" I asked, looking down into his piercing golden eyes. He, in turn, stared back at me with a blank expression before meowing at me again.
"Alright, I give." I said, throwing my hands up in mock surrender. As I was feeding him, my cell phone rang, causing me to jump slightly. 'When did I become so paranoid?' I asked myself before answering.
"Hello?"
"Hey Le'Noria!" came the hyperactive voice of my friend.
"Oh hi Sara, what's up?" I asked leaning against the counter.
"Nothing much, did you want to go to the movies today? And possibly to harass Danny?" she asked, her voice excited.
"Sure, but you can harass Danny." I said rolling my eyes.
"Aw, you're no fun. See ya in a few?" she asked, he voice still laced with excitement.
"Yea, see ya." I said, snapping the phone shut. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, a shiver going down my spine without mercy. 'What the hell was that about?' I thought, looking around the rather empty kitchen. I gave another sigh and walked back upstairs to my room grabbing my keys and money from off my dresser. I scribbled out a note and ran back down, leaving it on the table. Taking one last sweeping glance, I left locking the door behind me.
