THE FIRST CHAPTER MIGHT NOT BE THAT GOOD. PLEASE READ UP TO, AND INCLUDING, CHAPTER 2 BEFORE MAKING ANY REVIEWS. THIS IS ALSO MY FIRST BOOK SO PLEASE RATE FAIRLY. I HOPE I WILL HAVE SOME FOLLOWERS BECAUSE I PLAN TO MAKE THIS NICE AND LONG. JUST A LITTLE HEADS-UP, ANY INFORMATION LEFT OUT IS NOT AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS PURPOSEFULLY DONE TO MAKE YOU WONDER. THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ THIS AND PLEASE ENJOY. I'D LIKE TO THANK MY ENGLISH TEACHER WHO HELPED ME BY CHECKING IF EVERYTHING WAS ON COURSE.

THE

HALF-BLOOD

"I can't take it," one of the guards, newly posted to duty, said, "I jump every time I breathe!"

"Quit fretting. There hasn't been a Xeno attack in months," the more experienced guard said. Crackle…been hasn't Xeno…crack…attack months…crackle…there been a Xeno attack. The creature smiled at its small victory as it pressed a button on a small pad making its large slick black hand slowly vanish from view. This plan will defiantly get me the respect I need, it thought. Once this hunt is over the others will notice me for the hunter I am, not as the "filthy blood". Not that it makes a difference, me being rejected by the xenos as well. You're not born under the queen is all I hear. I'm lucky that they still let me live with them.

"Old guy, check over there," the new post whispered.

"For the last time, don't call me old… what is that?" the older past stared at the trees. Sensing that it was time to go, the creature leapt from its hiding spot, jumping from tree to tree.

Back in its cave, the creature put its plan into action. Grabbing the radio, it played back its earlier recording.

"There been a xeno attack!"

"Don't worry, reinforcements will be there! ETA fifteen minutes!"

Perfect.
