Eternally Sentient
By Niroc8
Hello, all! This is Corin; former account holder 8yume and long time fan of Predator fanfiction. Ever since I found this site, maybe in….2008? I have been secretly obsessed with every story posted with substance. I have daydreamed about so many scenarios and, well, stories inspired by the many great authors here. To name a few; Fire Redhead , GreyHuntress , Mystic Blade , N1nj4 Grrrl, AriannaK , and A Baby Kitten, just to name a few; and there are SO many others. There may be similarities with character traits from many of the stories I have read, some forgotten, so if any of you readers and/or authors feel that someone is too familiar, just shoot me a message about it. Enjoy guys. :)

"Was it all a mistake?"
I turned to Drok'I as the armed sentients then pulled me into the portal. I didn't have time to react, only to reach out my hand as he began to, in what seemed like slow motion, extend his to mine. His mandibles flares, eyes mixed with both shock, fear, anger, and distress. I could hear our pups cry in distress and confusion. And in an instant….I was gone.
Misha opened her eyes into a court room: filled with her people in the stand, but lacking a jury. In front of her was the judge. The highest position of the law stood up in front of her and in a booming voice began to speak down to her.
"Essense Z, you have been brought here before your people because we have reason to believe that you have committed the highest of crimes within our society. If you are found guilty you are to be sent to the thermodesenigrator-"
At this word the entire court began to murmur; some with fear, some with anguish in memory of past demonstrations. Misha could only stare at the ground in front of her. She began to sweat as her body panicked at the thought of her death in the machine. The judge allowed the murmuring to continue until it met its own end. He then continued, "I will now read to you your crimes."
"For taking the lunge into the forbidden world-" The crowd looked at her and each other in surprise.
"….." Misha thought about H'dulak, his innocence, his joy, his smile, his laughter.
"- for voyaging with Yautja" The crowd gave noises of disgust and outrage.
"….." Misha thought of Tra'inor; his leadership, his confidence, his skill.
"-for living amongst the Yautja," At this, the crowd looked at her angrily and began to throw energy near her still knelt form, to which she only flinched slightly. The judge looked on with the same amount of distain.
Misha said nothing as she flowed through memories of Li'lan, Darkside, and most importantly…Tra'ven
"And finally, the most heinous crime of all.." The crowd ceased their cries of outrage, "For not only becoming ONE with a Yautja, but BREEDING with one-!" The crowd stood up from their seats, with boisterous cries and screamed, ''TRAITOR! DISGUSTING, VILE CREATURE! YOU"RE A DISGRACE TO YOUR PEOPLE! DISINIGRATE HER!" as the judge yelled over them, "FOR THESE ALLIGATIONS WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU HERE. ESSENSE Z, HOW DO YOU PLEAD TO THESE CRIMES!?"
"…." Tears flowed from her eyes as she thought of her Life mate, the keeper of her heart. Her children, whom she would never see again, her family made up of her closest friends. She would never get to see her children grow, to teach them how to control their powers, to lead hunts with her mate to -
"ESSENSE Z , may I make it clear that refusing to answer is considered self-guilt, however we are a forgiving and reasonable species…recant every deed done, and all will be forgiven. You can rejoin your people and live amongst us in the eternity we would made for. All we ask of you, is admit it all was a mistake, just…a mistake."
Misha, with tears still flowing looked around her, gave a small sniffle and wiped her eyes; although they still continued to flow and stood. She then faced the judge.
