Chills, ran down Lex's spine as she climbed aboard the Predator ship. It was amazing what could happen in a day, finding a nest of xenomorphs, finding a long lost friend and lover and boarding a predator ship because they found you worthy of being a warrior. Oh yes, a lot could happen in a day, specially since it was only 11:26 p.m..
Lex remembered what happened what seemed like moments ago.
Flashback
The clan leader of the yaujtas pointed a scaly finger at the trembling ooman female and said, "She's coming with us."
Scar nearly fell over when his leader said that, but held himself together not wanting to seem weak in front of his brothers. "What do mean 'she's coming with us'?" The young warrior asked as he stood protectively by Lex's side.
As if everything wasn't shocking enough for Lex, what happened next nearly made her scream, the yaujta that was still pointing at her spoke… in English.
"I mean, she's going to come with us, train and live the life as one of us." His English wasn't very well spoken, he slurred on certain words, but nothing that Lex couldn't understand. Scar to was shocked that his leader could speak the words of ooman, Scar could understand the words of ooman, he just didn't know how to talk the same language.
The dark skinned woman took a step towards the humanoid that spoke English and asked, "And if I am to come with you… what will I do?"
The humanoid stretched his mandibles into a smirk, "What we usually do on our homeland."
Lex raised an eyebrow, "And that is?"
"You will hunt what we order you to hunt. You will train when we tell you to train. And you will learn how to speak our language. That shouldn't be too hard for your kind to learn."
Lex sneered at the insult, and thought about the offer they were giving her, although it didn't really sound like an offer, it sounded more like a command, as if they were expecting her to come. But what use did she have down here? All of her family was dead, and her rock climbing career was what she had, nothing else.
Scar started to sweat, she had no idea what the consequence was if she said no, he was just going with what would happened if one of his kind said no to the head Elder. They were beaten until death, it was a cruel rule, but it was how things got done when it needed to be. Course no yaujta in history had said no, but to an ooman it was a different story, so he prayed for Paya's mercy that she said yes.
Lex thought and thought for minutes, until she finally looked up at the head elder, and nodded her head, still unsure if she made the right decision. The Head Elder smiled if he could and nodded his head at the dark haired woman, "Very well than. Tchear, Kil'hear you may head back to the ship to rest. Scheakar you may go as well and you may escort…" He paused, he didn't know the female's name.
Lex catching the pause quickly responded, "Oh! It's Lex."
The head elder nodded not saying another word to the female, and turned to the yaujtas behind him, this time he spoke in his native tongue, "Kill the hard meats, leave the queen alive and bring her back to her cage. I'm surprised they managed to keep from attacking us." He turned from them heading back to the ship and brushed some non existing dust from his shoulder, "Go on then."
End Flashback
And things went on from there, although Lex had no idea what happened to the Queen and her children she had a pretty good guess. The ship was another thing Lex had to take in, it wasn't your regular airplane, with the crushing seats and the snoring people, no this was nothing like that all. When Lex first walked in she was greeted with what seemed to be the main hall, it was filled with the humanoids weapons, masks, and their kills. Lex was in a trance when she saw the heads of many animals that were recognizable.
Scar lead the fascinated female down into the ships corridor, where the yaujtas rooms were. The rooms were separated by gender, the female's on the left and males on the right, the ship only contained the yaujta's that were meant to be warriors, the ones that were not, were back on their home planet tending to their young. As they entered the room corridor, Lex was baffled by its size, there had to be at least 40 rooms on each side.
The doors were all motion activated, so when the owner returned or wanted to get out, it opened automatically. Everything was made out of metal as far as Lex could tell and their wasn't much detail, except for the numerous weapons and skulls on the walls. She couldn't wait to see what her room looked like. Scar pointed to a door that was right in the middle of two others.
Lex hadn't seen a single predator when she first entered the ship, where were they? She looked up at Scar and found the warrior already headed off to his room, which was strangely right across from hers. The female shrugged and went to head off into her room before something caught her eye. On the doors next to her were what seemed to be the names of the female yaujtas. Lex squinted her eyes to get a better look on the door to her left, it said Ver'oinia. She snickered at the name, it sounded very girly but these weren't the type of girls to mess with so Lex threw that thought away and went into her room.
