Lex got in a crouching position and waved her spear around, that serpent could be anywhere in her house. She took a deep breath and muttered, "Get hold of yourself Lex. You've killed these things before."

She heard footsteps above her head and a silent hiss, the bastard was in her room. She growled, quickly but silently she headed up the stairs listening for the serpent's movement. It apparently didn't know she was home or else it would've already attacked. She finally reached the second floor and quickly got her back against the wall, she didn't want that thing sneaking up behind her.

As she brought the spear in front of her, her eyes quickly landed on the serpent. It was standing right in the middle of the hallway, its back turned towards her. The serpents tail swished violently in the air unaware that Lex was in its presence.

Lex brought up her spear and charged forward, letting a battle cry. The serpent turned around and screamed, surprised of the human. Lex jumped in the air, her legs all the way to her back, her spear high in the air for puncturing and she threw her spear into the serpents chest. Landing right behind the screaming, dying serpent, she stood up and watched the alien give one last hiss before dying.

She smirked. Now it was time to claim her prize and yet become a better, stronger warrior. She tugged her spear out of the acidic bloody chest and shrunk it back to normal size, making it easier to carve the head.

As soon as she was done, she disposed the body in her backyard, and took a good look at the serpents head. Just as she was about to head back inside, she heard the rattling of bushes and hissing coming right behind her. She smirked, didn't these guys have a brain?

Oh well, if Scar was here his mandible's be on the ground. She turned around pointed her spear towards the hidden serpents and said, "Bring it on."

Scar

Scar strapped on his wrist blade, and flexed his fingers, making sure it fit perfectly. He looked at his two partners who were busy chatting to themselves about how many hard meats they were going to kill. Scar rolled his eyes, and picked up his mask, it was the same mask he wore the day he met the female ooman. He lightly traced the mark he made on his mask and purred. He remembered when he marked the female, they had killed a whole nest of hard meats together and were the only ones that survived. He found that worthy enough for the female ooman to earn the mark.

He looked over at Tchear and Kil'hear and barked an order at them. "Be ready! Were about to take off."

Tchear and Kil'hear growled in response and went back to chattering amongst themselves. Then suddenly Tchear had something pop into his that he was very curious about.

"Hey Scheakr!"

Scar turned around, his mandibles twitched in annoyance at the middle aged warrior. "What?"

"We've heard stories about you teaming up with an ooman. A female one. Is that true?" Tchear asked.

Scar turned his head slightly away and clenched his fists together, he managed to choke out, "Yes. She was worthy enough to team up with me. She killed three of the hard meats."

Tchear and Kil'hear looked at each other, there mandibles spreading out with interest. "We've also heard that you had a crush on the female."

Scar held in his breath and grabbed hold of the table for support. The two predators walked up to Scar and they nudged him slightly with there elbows,

Kil'hear smiled his mandibles widening with laughter, "We cant blame you. We found her pretty hot to."

Scar finally lost it and roared in the middle aged yaujtas faces, "SHE'S MINE! YOU HEAR ME! NOW BACK OFF!!!" With those words Scar realized what he had said and covered his mouth.

Tchear and Kil'hear looked at each other with satisfaction in their eyes and walked back to there corner waiting for the ship to take off. Scar growled, he cant believe he said that! He knows he doesn't feel that way about Lex… great now he was calling her by her name. He sighed and put on his mask, he had to face it, he loved Lex but he also knew that he would never see her again.
