The new hive is complete. Our mother created a new egg sack and produced new siblings for us. With more humans from what I can only describe as their nest infested with our young, we now have an army. One which slaughtered the humans. At first, we thought we were unthreatened, but we were wrong. More humans had arrived. They were strong, powerful, and confident. They were some kind of human warriors calling themselves 'marines.' It was time the hive prepared for war.
I slept in the tunnels connecting our hive to the rest of the outside world. I knew there was something strange. I don't know why, but I thought I was...different from the others. Maybe even the humans thought so. I woke up when I sensed the humans nearby. If they find the hive, there will be no telling what they would do. Following my instincts, I stalked the humans, learning that they had weapons that spat fire. "Xenos don't like fire." One of them pointed out. "This should flush 'em out." His partner, a female, asked him "You sure that's a good thing?" The male human never answered, as I leapt behind him, tore out his throat, and retreated into the shadows to watch the other human. I could smell her fear, her adrenaline rising. I struck my tail out into her back, and she is now dead. I eventually found more 'marines' which I killed easily in the darkness. While I fed on their flesh, I noticed another human watching me. He was harmless with no way of killing me, so I leapt onto him and pinned him down. Until I saw one of our young scuttle nearby. Deciding our hive always had enough room for new members, I left him to the young one, and continued on my way as the human's screams muffled and silenced.
"It can't get in here can it?" One of the two humans asked the other. "It's not getting in. Now shut the fuck up." I heard the marine reply. Seeing an opportunity, I attacked the cables, shrouding the rooms below me in darkness. "It cut the power! How does it know how to cut the power?!" The unarmed human was fully panicking. I waited until the marine left, then revealed myself. The human screamed at the sight if me and revealed he had a small weapon. Much to my surprise, he didn't attack me. Instead, he took his own life rather than let me do it. I admit, I was disappointed that I couldn't kill this one. At least I could still kill the marine. No doubt he would be more resistant. I crept behind him, silently, and stood to his height. Before he knew I was there, I lashed my tongue out, piercing his helmet and biting out a chunk of his head. I finished him off and revelled in my satisfaction. Before I could leave though, mother spoke to me in my head. Humans were still coming. Refusing to let them endanger the hive, I hunted them down and killed them all. "The hell was that?" I bit into his face. "where the fuck is it?!" My tail impaled through his body and exited through his mouth. "Where are you Bitch?" As she turned, I grabbed her neck and looked into her eyes. Before she could scream, I feasted. The last marine saved me the trouble of killing him myself. He must have heard me moving because he turned and fired something at the wall directly behind him, but didn't realise it. After he was killed by his own explosion, I decided not to underestimate the humans any longer. Certain that all of them were dead, I went on my way back to the hive. As I neared it though, I felt panic in my head. They were close. Determined to protect the others, I hurried back as quickly as possible...
