Yes, I know another predator story. But hey I'm enjoying writing them so far.
I hope you will like reading them as well.
Ta-da :)
What did Mej'inde and I have in common? Other than literally being lost and stuck on a planet. Well he wasn't exactly stuck, he lived here.
Me? I was captured by the supposed to be 'honored' yautja's and brought here, used as bait to lure bigger creatures and to prepare the unblooded for their first actual hunt. But I was saved, by him. He 'told' me he was a bad blood cause he didn't follow their rules. Didn't follow their disgusting way of living to be exact. He should be proud of himself for not following that horrible way. Apparently it was a new kind of structure, they've only been doing it for three years now.
Long enough, I thought.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Sophia and this is my story. Wel, that's what I think it is. As for Mej'inde, well.. I'm still under his protection. Even though the honored stopped looking long time ago. Yet he still didn't cast me away or told me to fuck off. He couldn't really speak my language either, we often just used sign language. Which was surprisingly easy, at least for us two.
We lived deep in the woods, safe and hidden from the others. Though I had his protection, his hound was also available whenever something would happen. I've come to like the weird, tentacle and spike looking creature. Note the sharp teeth, but he liked to be belly rubbed. All together it probably looked hilarious.
Today was gonna be a good day, I could feel it. Unless that was my period coming, that wouldn't be good. Mej'inde could smell it from a mile away. Just the thought alone that he could smell that made me shudder in disgust. It was probably a nasty scent anyway.
While Mej'inde was away on a hunt, I decided to clean...again. Not like I had a lot of choices, there was literally nothing to do. The cabin itself was medium sized, so enough room for two different species. So that things didn't get awkward.
Not that it was, but still.
What was there to tell about Mej'inde? Other than him being a bad blood. He was light brown with darker spots all over his body and a white belly. It was a rare color, he had told me once. His eyes were green, also uncommon. Both for humans and yautja's. Apparently being rare made you more attractive in his culture. He had a lot females coming to him, but he wanted none. He was waiting for the right one, it was almost romantic. Almost. If only humans weren't that judgemental. Other than that he had his armor with the weird net over his body. His strange weapons, the spear, wristblades, the cannon and a bunch of other creepy stuff.
Surprisingly he had no trophy room, not here at least. He had it in his ship, which was stuck at the base where the honored yautja's are. I figured there was no way to get it back, at least not with that many of them roaming about.
I whistled at the hound, I couldn't pronounce his name so Bobby would do. Even though he didn't listen to that. The creature tilted it's head at me, looking like a confused puppy. I aww'd before petting him on his neck. His sin was rough, with scales and all that. I guessed he was a excellent swimmer, but I could be wrong.
While I cleaned the counter from the blood and organs that where splattered around. Mej'inde came back from his hunt. He had a antelope looking thing with him. It had like six legs!
"Oh gosh, more blood." I complained before letting him through.
He dropped the animal on the counter and started cutting. Note, I could handle blood and organs. Just not today, it was not happening.
With a lump in my throat I left the kitchen. I didn't wanna see that gore mess, even though I had to clean it afterwards. I decided to go outside. Take in some fresh air. It wasn't raining which was a good thing, the rain here was different than in earth.
Everything was different. Of course I still thought about my planet and my kind, and of course family I had to leave behind. But I figured dwelling on it wouldn't change my situation, it will only keep me stuck in my head. Depression was something known for me, I've been suffering for a long time. Yet here on this foreign planet, I haven't had the time to even think that way.
Maybe it was because Mej'inde kept me busy. He kept me upright, I wouldn't know how to thank him even if I could.
"C'jit!" I heard the familiar clicking.
He had come outside. I looked at him, wondering if something was wrong. I felt so small by his size, he was huge and so buffed up.
Eying his body wasn't something foreign for me. I often did it. Just amazed by the fact they exist, it was extraordinary.
"Is everything alright?" I asked.
Though he didn't speak my language, he understood several words. He nodded, showing his bloody hands.
I cringed away.
He started chittering again, as if he was laughing? I think he was.
We looked at our surroundings, both fascinated by everything. I was more than him though. Everything was so bizarre, so surreal.
While laying in my bed, I wondered about these honored yautja's. They weren't always that bad, they had honor and grace. Pride and victory. And yet they let themselves away in doing stuff like this. It was terrible. And Mej'inde was a part of that? Well he went off of it immediately, but she wondered if he had tried it anyway. A lot of questions were racing through my mind, time would tell when and where she could ask them.
But for now I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Only to wake up with a loud roar, immediately up I searched for my clothes and hid near the closet. Mej'inde had told me to hide whenever something was going on. And this was no exception.
It went quiet for a long time, an awful long time. I feared the worst, that he was attacked or maybe dead.
Carefully I sneaked towards the entrance of the cabin. There was green blood, I feared the worst.
Out of nowhere dropped Mej'inde from the roof, his chest was puffed up. From the fight that had been going on here. I calmed down my racing heart and sighed. I saw the body of a yautja laying some meters away.
"What happened?"
Mej'inde walked crouched and put his finger in the blood, he checked it. As if he was mesmerized by it.
"Honored came looking, for you."
That wasn't good. That wasn't good at all, a sudden shiver got me he saw it. He pointed that I would go inside.
"Am I in danger?" I asked concerningly.
Mej'inde shook his head.
He wouldn't let anything happen to me, he showed me that each time already.
