Set 9 years after AvP. I OWN NOTHING! "Blah"- predator translation

Lex's Point of View…

It has been 9 years since what had happened on Bouvetoya Island, near Antarctica. I went on with life taking it one day at a time. I miss Scar. I had taken to calling him that because of all the scars he had on his form. The one he's going to get from the chest buster that I unfortunately had to help remove from his body. I really never wanted to do something like that ever again. So I went along with life and took groups to uncharted areas and up mountains and in caves. I never really got over Scar though. I missed him more than I thought I would. I mean yeah I wanted nothing to do with him when I first met him but the longer we were traveling together the more I felt connected to him.

Right now I was sitting in camp with a few friends. My friends that are here are the twins Alexandria and Cassandra, Jackal, Benjamin, and Dominic We all took turns singing. Alexandria just finished singing "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield, Cassandra had sang "E.T." by Katy Perry, Jack sang "Superman" by 3 Doors Down, Ben sang "Without Me" by Eminem, and Dominic sang "Low" by Flo Rida. It was my turn to sing so I choose "Tattoo".

No matter what you say about love

I keep coming back for more

Keep my hand in the fire

Sooner or later, I'll get what I'm asking for

No matter what you say about life

I learn every time I bleed

That truth is a stranger

Soul is in danger, I gotta let my spirit be free

To admit that I'm wrong

And then change my mind

Sorry but I have to move on

And leave you behind

I can't waste time so give it a moment

I realize, nothing's broken

No need to worry 'bout everything I've done

Like every second like it was my last one

Don't look back at a new direction

I loved you once, needed protection

You're still a part of everything I do

You're on my heart just like a tattoo

I looked up at the woods and I swear to god I just saw a shimmer. 'Well ether that was Scar or someone else from his kind.' I hopped that it was Scar. I looked at my friends and smiled.

"Hey, Lex," started Cassandra.

"Yeah," I said.

"How are things with you and your family?" asked Alexandria.

"There alright. Sophie starts high school tomorrow, mama is getting over her illness, and Uncle John is planning a party for Sophie's birthday. I'm thinking about maybe moving down south to the warmer places maybe do a little deer hunting," I answered.

They all smiled and we just talked about random things. I told them I was going for a walk and they told me to be careful. I walked into the woods and about ten minutes later I heard a growl. I turned and found Scar right there. I jumped back at the sudden appearance. I really should have expected him to do that. I smiled and just looked at him. He was much taller now than before, his dreadlocks were longer, there were more scars on his arms, chest, etc., but he was still the same shade of green as before, and he was just as deadly as ever. He trilled and looked at me. I knew that I had changed from a girl that couldn't fight to now holding my own in battle, my hair was a little less curly, thank god, and I looked like I could do what I want when I want. He purred as he looked at me.

"Hi."

"Hi."

His voice was deep and rough. I could already tell that his english would leave a lot to be desired. 'I just may help him with it later, if he will let me.'

"What cha doing here? I mean I'm happy to see you, but what are you here for?"

"I here for you. We hunt now."

"Um Scar what is it that you want to hunt?"

"We hunt -"

He never finished what he was saying when a husky showed up. I bent over to look at the collar and saw that its name was Abaven. I looked at Abaven and smiled.

"What his name?"

"His name is Abaven."

"Protector."

"What?"

"Abaven means protector."

Wow. I liked the name Abaven. I looked at him and saw that he was white with black markings that almost looked like a mask and boots while his back looked like it was in an army suit from how it went from white and black to different shades of gray. He was so cute! The gray was camouflage like. He was truly amazing to look at.

"Who he belong to?"

"It doesn't say. So I don't know who he belongs to."

I looked up at Scar and was tempted to ask if we could keep him but I knew better than to ask that silly question. I look at Abaven and smiled he seemed really nice. I offer him my hand and I watch as he sniffs it. I can't help but giggle as his cold, wet nose sniffs my hand. I hear as sound almost like a mix between a trill and a sigh from behind me. I glance over my shoulder to see Scar watching at me. I look back at Abaven and when the wind changes direction I catch a whiff of Scar on Abaven.

To me, Scar smells like the forest, of sweat, and maybe a hint of cinnamon. It was amazing to smell. So when I caught a whiff of Scar on Abaven, I knew that they must have been near each other not to long ago.

'Maybe its time to let Scar know that I am half dragon and half yautja, but then again my father, who was the dragon, had told me that the yautja didn't quite like hybrids. My mother had left to go take care of something back on her home planet, leaving me and my father behind. She told us that she would be back after one year. That was 28 years ago. My father practically raised me on his own. He had been killed by one of the yautja that he had fought with when he had been younger. The yaujta or predator had killed him because my father had fought with him and pinned the predator down. Earning the respect of the Yaujta race, but that predator hated my father and had killed him. I know of how my father died because I had been hidden within the bushes near by. That all happened 11 years ago. It happened the day I turned 18. I missed my father like crazy but it can't be helped because I had been so close to my father. He taught me to fly, to breath fire, to use my acidic spit, to shoot ice from my tail, to control my ability to move things with my mind and so much more. I love my father more than most humans love family or friends.'

I felt something hit my head. I look over my shoulder to find Scar right behind me.

"Can I help you with something, Scar?" I asked

He looks at me and said, "We need hunt now."

I watch as he pulls up an image of what he wants to hunt. What I know is that the lions were over populating.

I look at the image and think, 'Wow he wants us to hunt lions. Male lions were our target because the females were off limits. The young of course were to re mane unharmed. I can leave the females and the cubs alone, but we are going to have to stay away from the females' dens. That will be hard because the dens could be any where in Africa.'

I look up and ask, "So, Scar, how do you plan to keep us from going any where near a female lion's den?"

I could tell he was thinking about it. He admitted that he really didn't think of that. ' I wonder if he will accept me if I told him the truth. I really didn't want to ruin our friendship but I wanted him to know.' Something just hit my head.

"If you don't stop throwing things at me I wont hunt with you," I told him sighing.

He dropped the small rock that was in his hand and glares at me. I sigh again.

"Scar, I need to tell you something," I look away from him.

"What you need tell?" he asks.

I look at him and I start to remove the necklace from around my neck. When I start to put the necklace in my pocket I let it drop in there. I stair into the eyes on his mask and I could feel myself changing. I could feel my wings and tail growing, I could feel my nails growing sharper and longer. I know my skin is changing from soft human skin to b the same way as his but in shades of chocolate and caramel. His reaction meant a lot to me. I could see the shock and something else.

"You hybrid?"

"Yes I'm a hybrid. Are you mad at me for not telling you?"

"I is disappointed you don't tell sooner. Why keep secret?"

"Because my father made me swear to never tell someone unless I completely trust them. Plus he told me that your kind don't like hybrids," I couldn't keep the sadness from my voice as I told him that. Another thing you should know about me, my dad and I, we were insuperable. Where he went I went. We did everything together but know he was gone.

"I need time, think."

I agree to give him the time he needs but I wanted him to accept me. I wont hate him if he choose to leave and never speak to me again. I look over at him sitting on a rock almost 12 feet away. There is a small stream in front of me. I could see small fish swimming around. If the water wasn't moving I would be able to see myself. I'm glad that it is moving because I really don't want to look at myself. I start to pull out my necklace when Scar says something.

"Lex. What you doing?"

"I'm just going to put my necklace back on."

I really don't like to go without it. With it I can look human and be able to act like one.

"No. I want see you as should be."

Well I was not expecting that. I turn and look at him. He is looking at me without his mask. Don't get me wrong his face could give nightmares but I love him for what makes him different. The things that make him different are the things that I love about him. He may be an alien from space but I don't care. 'I hope he at least likes me because if he just thinks of me as a friend then I guess I will be in hell. I am pushing as it is with just letting him know about me being a hybrid but I won't tell him I-'

"I love you."

Silence stretched as I staired at him in shock. I never thought he would say those three words.

"Please repeat that?"

"I love you, Lex."

Cliffhanger. Don't you just love them?
