Chapter 2

(Dante's pov)

Step...step...step...the footsteps got closer...and closer...then...stopped...I felt a hand touch my shoulder. It was female no doubt about it as I felt it nudge me a bit.

"Child...it's me. There's no need to be afraid." I heard Alosia say.

I quickly got out of the covers and looked where I heard the voice while I felt a hand touch my cheek.

"Alosia?"

"That's right, child. We must go. It's not safe anymore."

"But I can't see."

"Hmm...seems your sight hasn't entirely adjusted yet...Hold my hand." She tells me.

I slowly reach for her hand and as I grabbed her hand, She slowly helps me off the bed and lead me out of the room as I hear another set of footsteps this time almost heavy...I was on edge...scared that someone was going to kill me...but Alosia puts her hand on my shoulder to assure me that nothing was going to happen to me...and for once...I'm glad it wasn't an enemy.

"This is the new blood?" I heard a male voice.

"Yes. Did you get the spare clothes I requested?"

"Yes." The man said as I heard what sounds like the man giving clothes to Alosia.

"Spare clothes? Why?" I asked rather concern.

"You are wearing a patient's gown. Underneath it...Well...you have no clothes." She said as she lead me to a room.

"Be quick about it, Alosia. They might be bringing reinforcements."

"I know, Giovanni." Alosia said as she helped me changed in the spare clothes.

As she finished helping me get dressed, we walked out of the facility and walked somewhere safe. My vision adjusted(it's a little bit of a blur but I can see a bit) a bit and...my god...no...what happened to the city?!

"What happened to the city?" I asked Alosia rather horrified.

"...It was destroyed when you were in a coma. The company kidnapped everybody when they succeeded on putting the gel on your body. We had help with the xenomorphs to escape from them for the cost of the city...let's just say the city is a permanent home for hybrids and xenomorphs once we escaped...the human race has changed because of our so called government we support foolishly...cause of their arrogance, the government has been destroyed due to our might as a hive. Now the company is trying to control the situation before things before things got worse for them. But we are on step ahead of them and we will destroy them all..."

Damn...this fucking sucks. Now I got in the middle of some fucking war between the company and the xenomorphs with the Hybrids.

"So if we are hybrids, do our bodies evolve like the xenomorphs?"

She then stops for a second...did I say something wrong?

"How do you know about that about the xenomorphs?" She asks me rather serious.

Uh oh...

"Movies to be honest. I never thought they would exist." I said with seriousness.

"...I see...I sense the truth in your mind...you don't seem to be the lying type so I'll let the matter go. Yes we do evolve our bodies but we cannot evolve to queens or kings like the xenomorphs. Our only limits are the forms of Praetorians." She said as we continued walking.

That's...a relief. If a hybrid did pass the limit of a hybrid...you know what never mind. That shit is disturbing in my mind than saying it. Wait...kings? Kings?! Ah...shit...I pray it doesn't act like the Rouge kinge.

"You do know the price of being a Praetorian, right?" I asked.

"...Indeed. emotionless...merciless...but are still loyal to their hive." She said.

"Yikes...as much as I like being a fighter, I'm not too fond being emotionless." I said as Alosia opened a door to a building.

She giggles a bit as Giovanni walked somewhere in the first floor of the building as Alosia lead me up stairs to a room.

"Not to worry. Not many of us can be a Praetorian. They are mostly chosen by our queens. If they are worthy to be a Praetorian, then the queen will change them to one." She said as I sat down on a bed.

"Interesting...and we have a hive, right?" I asked her

"Yes. If the queen needs us, we go to her aid." She said as she sat down next to me.

"I see..." I nod.

Then things got really weird when we were talking, I felt her hand touch my face as she probably was having her face close up into mine and I think I ruined the moment when I said...

"What are you doing?" I asked rather confused.

She gasped as her hand is off my face and backs up away from me a bit.

"Oh...uh...um...ahem. sorry. This is the first I'm experiencing my hormones kick in. I never thought it would act up like that." She said rather embarrassed.

"But aren't you and Giovanni are...?"

"No. He's just my younger brother." She quickly replied.

Okay chill, Alosia. I'm not the police. I just looked at Alosia surprised of how quickly she replied that making Alosia more embarrassed.

"Sorry, Dante. The hybrids always jump to conclusions thinking Giovanni is my boyfriend." She sighs.

Wait...Hold the fuck up. How did she know my name?

"How did you know my name?" I asked her.

"Your records were in the computer system when I was helping you escape."

That's understandable...I guess.

"Let's just get some rest...we'll talk about this maybe another time. It's been a long day and I need some rest." I yawned.

"Indeed. Oh and Dante? The mutations will slowly change you. Could be days...weeks...months or year for your mutation to work. The process maybe...painful but it will not kill you. Just telling you now in case it ever happens to you..." She warns me.

Fuck...that's going to suck...if the mutation is painful then I'm worried what I will look like when the mutation is complete...
