A male deer stepped into a small clearing. It slowly scanned its surroundings for any signs of danger. Seeing Nothing, The buck lowered its head to graze, not realizing it was being watched from above. In a low tree branch above the deer, Sosion smiled at the sight of her new found prey. She was a Human Xenomorph (HX for short) a man made creature designed only for killing. She leaned closer, ready to pounce, when suddenly a large Hell Raptor burst through the brush, charging for the buck. Before the deer could react, the raptor bit down on its neck then quickly snapping it. The limp body fell to the ground, and the raptor began to eat.

Didn't see that coming, Sosion thought, But, I can make do.

She swung her tail at its head, the tail blade instantly smashing its skull. The dead raptor fell on top of the deer.

Well that was easier than I thought it would be.

Sosion leapt from her perch and landed next to the corpses. Loki ran into the clearing.

"Hey, Sosion, did you happen to see a big Hell raptor come through here? See, I was hunting it (he notices the raptor lying on the ground) and you already killed it."

"Sorry."

"It's alright, let's get this thing back to the hive."

Loki grabbed the raptors tail and started to drag it. Sosion picked up the deer and they started toward the hive.

(A few minutes later&

"Almost there, we just got to cross the river." Sosion said, pointing to a fallen tree over a river a few yards away.

Thud

She stopped.

"Did you feel that?" she asked Loki.

"What?"

Thud

"That." She said. "What is that?"

"I don't know." He looked over to a small puddle.

Thud. The earth shoke and the puddle rippled.

"Something big."

THUD

They suddenly heard a loud roar and turned to see a massive creature standing behind them.

Its head was huge; the teeth were big and serrated. Despite its size, its arms were small and had only two fingers. It roared again and charged forward mouth agape. Sosion and Loki dropped their kills ran for it. They hide behind a large boulder. Sosion looked back at the creature. It had stopped its attack, and had picked up the Hell Raptor in its mouth. The big animal looked at Sosion, and then walked off, still carrying the raptor.

"What the hell was that?" Loki asked.

"I don't know, but it looked familiar." Sosion said. Where have I seen that thing before? She thought. "Let's follow it." She said.

"What?" Loki asked.

"It might be a danger to the hive, we have to find out where it's going. It might have a nest."

"Yeah, but did you see the size of that thing? Think about it. You and me vs. that!" Loki clapped his hands together. "Splat! I don't feel like being stomp on like bug! We should just go tell the Queen."

"You go warn the queen, I'll follow it."

At that Loki frowned. "I don't feel like losing you ether."

"I'll be okay." She walked up licked his cheek (HXes way of kissing).

He sighed."Okay, I'll go tell the queen, just come back in one piece."

"I will." She said before she ran the way the creature had went.
