Chapter 3: Compromise

After finally somewhat catching his breath Weyland ordered Sebastian to take Lex away from the beast as he could not keep up he knew he was going to die down here and accepted that fact, but what he didn't want was for Lex to perish, she had showed him more love and devotion then any of his family has since he built up the Wayland industries, in that one moment he knew without a doubt that he wanted her to go on and leave him behind, his time was done his body already ready to throw in the towel. The least he could do was slow the hunter down, if even just for a moment.

*after Wayland's death idk why but I always feel sorry for the old man so I'm not writing it*

Sck'aar watched as the humans made their way through the tunnel before the wall just finished going up blocking him from his prey, tilting his head in discontent he turned in time to see a small Kainde Amedha * I have no idea what the scorpion looking first stage is called if anyone knows please tell me!* jumping towards him throwing his ckakt-ra and cutting the creature in half before it even had time to get close enough catching his chakt-ra once again Sck'aar stood motionless in the middle of the room waiting feeling the creature at his back thinking its unnoticed, and as soon as it was close enough, quick as a flash his arm spun out slicing the Xenomorph's head in half and watched as its body hit the floor. "Finally" he thought "I am blooded"

Taking his mask off, the air pressure hose hissing in its release Sck'aar didn't notice that Lex watching through a square in the wall watched as he his marking, His Chiva complete. Reaching down and ripping a leg off the smaller Kainde Amedha he used the acidic blood to mark his helmet as well as his own forehead

"He's marking himself" Sebastian stated watching with rapped attention to the creature in the room just next door.

"What?"

"Ancient warriors would mark themselves with the blood of their kill. It's a rite of passage; this is starting to make sense." Sebastian continued

Finishing up his marking Sck'aar moved to stand pausing as he heard the unmistakable sound of scurrying above his head. Slowly as to not alert the creature that it was found out he reached once again for his ( ) hiding it in the palm of his hand, and when he stood fully and turned he saw the creature jump just in time for him to release the bladed weapon and cut it in half as well. Huffing to himself he sneered at the creature believing it could get him unaware. The Newly blooded male roared his success before putting his mask back on and pulling up his map to find out where his brothers were, finding only one brothers movement he understood Chopper was either wounded or was with Cetanu's hall. Nodding his head in acceptance he once again bent down to the larger Xeno and began to cut off pieces of his trophy.

"When that door open's we're dead" Sebastian said looking at Lex with sadden eyes

"Not if we set things right" Lex stated looking at the mural on the wall

"what do you mean?" Sebastian asked turning to her giving his full attention

"This Pyramid is like a prison, we took the guards guns and now the prisoners are running free. To restore order, the guards need their guns." Shaking his head in denial Sebastian began to talk Lex out of whatever crazy idea was forming in her head when she spoke once again

"When that door opens, we're going to give that thing his gun back" Lex finished

"Are you crazy? During a big game hunt the animals being hunted don't arm the hunters!" Sebastian stated trying to make Lex see reason

"They're not hunting us; we're in the middle of a war! It's time to pick a side." She finished staring him down trying to make him see her point

"We are on our side" He stated starting to fear Lex's mind was going crazy

"We have to consider the possibility we might not make it out of here, But we have to make sure those serpent's don't reach the surface because if they do everything everywhere could die." She finished looking as Sebastian's face scrunched in pain understanding crossing his features at last. Knowing she spoke truth he could only sigh and shake his head as if in pain. Before looking off muttering to himself.

"The enemy of my enemy…is my friend" he muttered Looking as lost as she felt on the inside.

Looking down as his watch started to beep signaling that the place was about to move once again from the ten minute mark both of them looked at each other once more before watching the wall in front of them hoping with all reason that on the other side was the humanoid creature and not a serpent. When the watch finished beeping a wall moved but not the one they were expecting, turning sharply Lex was the first to notice that it was the wall behind them that moved first.

"Let's go find our friend" Lex spoke confidence filling her voice

Walking down the darkened hallway both Lex and Sebastian were taking all precaution to make sure they stayed in each other's sight, as well as watching for any unusual movement either on the walls or shimmering right in front of them.

"So how do you say Scared Shitless in Italian?" Lex questioned trying to keep the sprits up between the two of them

(says it in italian)—" More or less" he smiles as they continue the trek into the unknown.

Stone shifting catching Lex's attention, making her gasp in surprise and fear. Both turning to see an hallway identical to the one they just walked through become parallel to the walk way they just finished. But the scraping sound kept coming closer and closer both of them turning this way and that began looking for any serpents that may have gotten close without them knowing or just to find out what was making that noise. Hearing the noise over and over from behind as well as in front of them they keep turning flash light spinning to see where this unknown noise originated from and if they should be afraid. Until finally Lex's light catches onto some dripping thick liquid that could only be taken as one thing drool. Both her and Sebastian look quickly seeing the serpents tail uncoil before their eyes from the ceiling, Fear churned inside both of their bellies as their heart rate picked up and their breathing grew labored and as if appearing from nowhere one serpent's head popped up and hissed at them making Sebastian quickly grab Lex and yell " Move"

Running down the hallway they came to an opening that had a broken down bridge and what from a distance looked like a short leap, turned into an canyon when next to it and forced to make that split second decision. To leap or not to leap, to let the creatures behind them catch up and take them? Or let fate decide if they could make it to the other side. They chose to jump.

Sebastian made it to the other side, the brick he stepped on held strong as he rolled on the other side. But when Lex's foot hit the stone it made a chain reaction as brick by brick they fell apart falling into the unknown canyon bellow. Quickly grabbing on as best as she could Lex looked as if her world was finally going to end, her hand slipping was quickly caught as Sebastian caught her before she was lost to the chasm below.

"Lex" he screamed "Lex hold on! Come on, Lex! You can make it Lex" He grunted as he started to pull her up Lex beginning to smile quickly faided into fear as she noticed a black serpent come and roar snatching sebastion away.

quickly gaining her leverage pulling herself up she looks around, with no sign of sebastian in sight moving slowly her foot hits something that slides across the floor, picking it up she noticed it was the bottle cap he wore around his neck. Taking deep breaths Lex finally understood she was all alone. Moving slowly and jumping at every little sound Lex was becoming a nervous reck. Coming to a dead end hallway Lex had to stop and make herself take deep breaths, this was getting to her and she needed to calm down and not panic. Looking along the walls at the many skelotons that adorned it, thinking to herself that those used to be live beings not nothing but bones and spider webs, made her feel even more insecure. She did not want to end up like one of these poor people or end up an incubator for those black serpents! Finally gaining a semblance of calm she took one more deep breath and froze, something was behind her, and from the lack of sound clawing at the ground hissing/growling, or even wet plops of drool hitting the floor she could only assume that it was a hunter behind her.

Turning around stiffly she finally seen the creature face to…mask, closer than she's been without someone else there with her she began to whimper, this was a cold blooded killer standing in front her her, something that she seen with her own eyes take on and take out many of the people in her group, including killing wayland as he tried to help them as much as an old sick man could. Eyes tearing up she watched as he moved his arm out holding his spear out in one hand, as soon as he griped it tighter it grew out even longer going from a simple three feet into an easy six. Soon as he finished he growled preparing to fight Lex knowing she had one of their guns in her bag.

"Wait. Wait. Please, wait" She begged as she held her arms out hoping he would stop his attack

(a few moments earlier)

Sck'aar watched as the human unknowingly passed him in the hall, watching as its pathetic sniffling was echoed in the long tunnel, soon that would attract the hard meats to her like moths to the flame. Standing a few feet behind her he didn't have to wait long for it to understand the type of trouble it was in as it froze. Shifting through his vision sensor's he easily spotted the gun on her back knowing this human ad to die simply for having it with her. He lifted his arm preparing to use his ki'its-pa deciding he wanted this to be quick for the small ooman, moving into position he heard it cry out wondering what it was doing he watched as it lowered herself to the ground reaching for her bag and pulling out a plasma caster and muttering words he couldn't quickly understand. Learning the ooman speak was as far as he thought beneath him, he has yet to meet an ooman he wanted to talk to instead of kill. So only learning a few words so far the only one he understood from the little female was wait.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, the enemy of my enemy is my friend Lex muttered as she slowly sunk to the ground pulling the gun from her bag, repeating the words over to the predator hoping he wouldn't attack her while she was down. Pushing the gun over the ground towards him she watched as it moved to his legs but when she looked up she noticed the serpent standing behind him gasping she watched the predator turn around as the alien tackled him into an outcropping. The serpent tried to claw and bite at the predator but he managed to get a hold of it and throw it into a statue closer to where Lex was on the ground desperately trying to get out of the way of the two giant battling behemoth's. Lex looking down noticed that the predator in the scuffle dropped its spear seeing as it was close to her as well as the alien she grabbed it without thinking twice as the serpent looked at her preparing to get to her instead as an easier target. Hearing its queen in its head growling wanting the human to help hatch more warriors, so the objective was to capture it alive and kill the hunter. He was a huge threat to the hive and needed to go. Turning once more to his enemy then to the simple human it made its choice, hissing once more he dived at the human not expecting it to throw up a spear at the last moment impaling itself on it.

Roaring its pain and anger at being taken down by a soft two legged human the xeno threw its tail forward trying to impale the human, if it was dying it was going to take the little human with it. Continuing its attack it hissed and roared in pain as the spear went deeper and deeper throwing its inner mouth out trying to kill the creature as he was dying itself it gave its best effort before going still. When the human thought it was done he threw his head one last time for one last attack before calling out to the queen its failed mission.

Lex crying feeling her strength leaving her looked down as she heard something come online, she looked down to notice the three red dots going slowly up her body till it was on her head. Looking up she noticed the predator with the gun now mounted on its shoulder and pointed right at her. Feeling this was really her end she looked into his masked eyes at least trying to see who her killer was, then down the hall she heard the scream/ screech of the serpents the hunter turned with a growl ( am I the only one who noticed when they growl or roar it sounds like a lion? Just saying) noticing the many serpents lining the walls of the hall way they were in. More than likely coming to their fallen brother's call. Turning his tracking system on he started to shoot the many xeno's crawling their way one by one they all were shot down. So far before they turned and ran away he managed to shoot down five of them. Growling in victory he moved to the closest one looking it over he bent down taking out a knife and beginning to cut off appendage's from his kills completely ignoring Lex standing behind him. Moving from kill to kill he began to growl noticing that they were all still small even the one he killed in the other room marking himself as blooded was just a drone like these five. Sighing he moved to each taking fingers here, teeth there, and even a tongue and a tail tip to his belt collection. Getting up and turning around he looked to the human that was still in the room. Looking down at the heard meat she had killed he stopped short growling in displeasure, hers was bigger, hers was a grown warrior. Snarling he turned to the human and debated what to do while this was his and his brothers chiva no one told him what to do when a human proved itself and killed an Kainde Amedha hand to hand. Tilting his head looking at the human he bent down and picked up his ki'its-pa and turned to walk away. For now the human had won its right to continue to live and not die by his hand.

Watching as the predator moved closer to her Lex backed away not wanting to suffer the fate of the serpents as well. Watching him taking body pieces off the fallen creatures she watched as he growled at her and the one she mistakenly killed. Watching him take his spear out of the dead creature and turn to walk away she started, it was not about to leave her here. Moving around the dead one in front of her she called out.

"Hey. I'm coming with you, you hear me, you ugly creature?" she yelled reaching out as if to touch him and jumping back when it turned with a roar. Backing up and it slowly walked towards her she found herself with her back against the wall. Watching as the creature stopped once again in front of the one she killed and then looked back in forth between the two. Before finally deciding to bend down, Using its blade he managed to cut off the skull of the creature without the blood pooling. Hearing the human questioning him Sck'aar without talking ooman showed her what its blood could do while making her some make shift weapons out of the kill she made he couldn't help but still feel pricks to his pride at the sheer size of her kill compared to his. Still debating with himself about keeping the human alive in the first place he decided, killing it would be against his honor and everything he stood for….but scaring it wasn't out of the question. After scaring the little female ooman with the inner mouth twitch he finished her spear and shield, standing he looked her over while she was no yautja female she would do for now. First things first anyway was getting out of this pyramid and showing his clan his honor mark.

Turning to the hunter standing before her she said

"Thank you…so what do I call you?" Lex asked looking the tall hunter up and down " I mean my name is Lex…what is yours?"

Tilting his head back and forth he debated letting her know before shaking his head wondering what harm could come of his name being known

"Sck'aar" he said pointing to himself

"scar?" Lex repeated flinching at the robotic type of voice that was coming out of his mask. She watched as he tilted his head once again reminding her of a dog that was trying to give a cute face for more treats. But this huge creature was no puppy dog standing well over seven feet if her five nine frame was to go by and the reptilian like texture that was around his stomach. Studying the male ( if the loin cloth was any indication to go by) in front of her she really looked at him, the ropes of hair or so it looked like hung together with the clinking of the hair pieces mixed inside, the skills that decorated its chest as well as the thick amount of muscle this male had he could easily bench press three of her without breaking a sweat. Looking next at his hands she noticed just like the rest of him they were large with the tips forming claws noticing that she looked at his feet they were the same human like with little claws instead of human nails. Looking back up at his face she blushed as she noticed him watching her head once again tilted as he watched her check him out coming out of her stupor she looked at his face mask once again wondering what was underneath.

When he felt the Pyode Amedha was looking at him he took this moment to finally really look at this species. While killing them he took no mind what it looked like but now he studied her like she was doing him with her flimsy nails, no fangs or mandible's to speak of he thought her face looked quite ugly compared to the females of his race. Looking at her hair he wondered why the oomans had so much fur and only in the one spot. Looking at it he noticed even thought they were clumped together with dirt and spider webs they didn't look like they offered anything unlike his that had blood flowing thought each coil. Very sensitive to touch which is why he never allowed anyone near his head even when sparing he never allowed anyone to get near his head. Looking down he noticed the only thing the species had were the size of the female's mammary glands, hers were a nice size though he was sure she would not like to hear that coming from him at the moment. Looking down at her body size she looked like a fit human unlike most of them now disgusting Pyode Amedha no good for hunting. Only a select few were what made good trophies but they were becoming far and few in between. Noticing the amount of coverings the human had to wear just to keep warm had him huffing. Has their technology still not advanced enough to even properly cover themselves? No matter they were of little consequence, finding the human finished her observation of him he turned and started to jog out the hall to what his map showed him earlier as the exit.

(Back with Alicia and Cel'tic)

Looking once again to the hard meat the creature took down Cel'tic looked to her once again to find her watching his every move. Slowly getting up he moved first to the fallen Xenomorph seeing how it escaped his net, the blood acid eating though he was going to have to talk to the weapon makers to have that problem fixed. Alicia watched him move over to the dead serpent and once again took note to how tall the bastard was compared to her…and fit…so it was either stick and move or just get the hell out. Looking at the hole in the ground she wondered how much energy it would take to get up there and if the jolly green giant would notice…I mean really what the hell did these things eat how big do they get? Turning back to the creature she noticed as big as he was he was fucking quiet and quick one minute he was across the room pulling the spear out of the dead serpent next he was nearly in her face jumping back she hissed flashing her fangs at the creature just for it to growl back. Figuring it was about to attack she tensed her body, but it didn't move just kept looking at her underneath the mask she slowly began to fully stand up when he moved his arm in her face, she jumped back until she noticed what he held. One clawed finger as well as a toe was in his grasp, feeling her stomach churn at the items she tried to smile but politely decline the offer.

Growling now at the female was something wrong with the trophies he took off of her kill? Looking at the ooman closely he finally figured out what was off about her, she had a tail….oomans don't have tails, or claws, or eyes that look like that. Thinking that another species has moved into the chiva? Turning his masks thermo readings changing to see what the inside of her body everything was the same except for the claws and tail and another group of bones on her shoulder blade grunting he waited till she would take the trophies out of his hand.

"umm really thank you but… no thank you?" Alicia murmured

Tilting his head the giant male stood to his full height attaching the dismembered members on his belt saving them for when she would want them ignoring her gaging. Turning back to her he watched as she slowly tried to move around him to get to the hole in the ceiling while keeping half her body facing him as well. Trilling his amusement he reached out and grabbed her tail stopping her short. As soon as he grabbed the tip he studied it confused as to why an ooman would have these features, turning the tail left and right he noticed the scaled texture under his hand somewhat close to his skin, looking at the tip he noticed the three large claws at the end forming an clasp. Looking at it closer he noticed the three claws could grab things like an fist the way they were located made a fist (take two fingers on one hand then one finger on the other hand put the one finger between the two and that's what her claws look like) griping the base of the claws tighter to get a better grip he noticed the female's body release its tense form it had taken when he first grabbed her, and watched as she slowly fell down sounding like she was purring. Tilting his head wondering what was wrong with her he let go and watched as she jumped up snatching her tail away from him hissing once again.

Hissing at the dense best she let her tail wrap around her waist to keep away from the inquisitive male.

"What the hell are you" she questioned watching as he began to ignore her to touch his wrist computer thing. "hello can you even understand what I'm saying?" she continued "are you done hunting me at least?" she questioned and at that he looked up

"se'i" he grunted turning once again to the computer

"o..ok ill just take that as yes and move on." Turning in a circle Alicia noticed that the only way out was though the floor of which they came out of. Groaning at her luck she decided to move away and look for Lex, hoping they made it out alright. Before she could fully turn away he barked at her, jumping she quickly turned wondering what was wrong to find him looking at his computer it looked like the fight with the serpent messed it up a bit it kept going blurry before clearing and then going blurry again. He did not look happy about that.

"so…Do you have a name big guy?" she questioned from a distance away

Looking up at the female he growled at her before looking back at his wrist trying to figure out how to get to the next Kainde Amedha and finally become blooded. Clicking his tucks together he watched the map noticing his brother sck'aar was still in motion but this time with something fallowing close behind. Probably a Pyode Amedha like his own, he grunted and shrunk the Ki'cti-pa and once again attached it to his belt, then once again reloading his t'gou u'linja not noticing the human skull come flying at his skull hitting him in the back of the head he quickly turned around snarling he saw the female trying to look innocent. Snarling he stomped towards her intent on showing her why that was a bad idea when she quickly jumped out the hole…he followed.

Growing he spotted her trying to run down the nearest hallway already quite a distance away from him and gave chase. Slowly catching up to the female he watched as she slid to a stop then began to run back to him just as fast as she was trying to get away. Looking over her shoulder he could see why, another Kainde Amedha was behind her. When she was close enough he watched as she gave him a wide birth but kept behind him, huffing in annoyance he prepared to face the Kainde Amedha had on roaring his challenge he charged the creature this time with his head clear from any anger, the mistakes that nearly cost him his life last time will not happen this time around. A few moments later proved just that as the creature's head separated from its body with a well aimed swipe from his blade bending backwards he let his triumphant roar echo down the hall. Alicia once again watching in the back ground stared in awe, once again understanding why this creature was something she didn't want to mess with. Sighing and turning away she tried to leave without him noticing and once again didn't hear when he moved. Grabbing her tail again this time lifting her off the ground ass first ignoring her flailing her arms and legs as well as the swiping tail hitting his back he turned her around dropping her on her head groaning in pain seeing stars she seen when his hand grabbed her throat and pulled her up slamming her against the wall.

"ooman" Cel'tic growled in her face bringing her close not sure if she was m-di h'dlak or just s'yuitde.

"y-yes…how can I h-help you?" she groaned as he slammed her body into the way using her feet she gripped his thick waist to try and lift her out of his grasp to get any type of air in her lungs.

looking at her Cel'tic was stuck, truth be told he still wanted to throttle her, hitting him in the head with the skull! Attacking him of all beings but on the other hand she was a blooded warrior so he couldn't kill her grunting he dropped her on the ground watching as she coughed rubbing her throat. Moving back a bit he began to take off he helmet in front of her once it was completely off she finally seen what was underneath and took in a quick breath but that was all. Watching as his amber eyes watched her he leaned closer and roared in her face, closing her eyes scrunching her face in pain Alicia stood there waiting till he was finished.

"yea no throwing skulls at you…got it" She replied coughing a bit at his breath in her face. Nodding his consent he moved over to his kill and began his ritual to being blooded as well as taking a few trophies for himself. Standing back up he turned to the female once again this time with his markings making him worthy, wondering should he mark her yet seeing as how she became blooded before him. Looking at the spot the female was supposed to be he was surprised to find her gone, turning all the way around he noticed her a distance away walking away from him growling he put his helmet back on and activated the invisibility cloak and began following her.

Walking slightly away from mean green Alicia wondered once again where the hell she was and how could she find Lex in all of this. If Lex was even alive anymore, shaking her head at the negative thought she continued on twisting and turning through hallways she stopped when she heard scraping on the walls ahead, even though it was dark as night in the halls with no light she could see just fine just like she was sure the creature in front of her could see her just fine too. Moving to a crouching pose she growled these things had acid blood and she had no weapon how fucking great was this. When she heard the creature hiss at her preparing to attack she hissed back hers sounding louder giving the xeno pause for a moment before continuing with the attack. Cel'tic watched from the background, if the female would survive this attack then she was worthy of being blooded if not then the last time was a fluke of opportunity. Watching as she used her claws for quick strikes as well as her tail for bashing the creature in its head, growling she jumped at the serpent putting as much strength in her legs for the attack she landed on its back and began to scratch at its back with her claws careful not to get the blood on her skin. The Xeno under her hissed out at the pain she delivered and began to buck her off throwing her into the wall on the other side of the hall. Shaking her head she growled at the xeno and moved to all fours with her tail high above her head waiting to strike, not having to wait long the xeno using the ceiling crawled and jumped on her hissing in her ear. Alicia began to twist and turn even though she was getting clawed up by the creature she was not giving up.

Keeping her arms under her belly she was able to push herself up and slam the creature on the wall just behind them. Growling using her tail she grabbed it around its skinny waist gripping it tightly spinning she threw it down the hall watching as it slid to a stop before getting up crying and hissing in anger she watched as its tail flicked back and forth she could see it thinking of a way to attack but she was running out of steam. Using the wall behind her to stand she leaned on it breathing rapidly trying to catch her breath when Cel'tic could see her body tensing he could tell she had a plan.

Slowly climbing so her feet were off the ground she waited till the xeno decided to jump attack once again and just before it would have hit her she jumped out the way making it strike the wall head on stunning it, turning before it could get its feet under itself she wrapped her tail once again around the neck and squeezed until she heard the tell, tell snap of the spine. Watching the female finish her fight Cel'tic made his move walking behind her he purred his pleasure of seeing her kill, making her flinch turning not seeing him then watching as an electric ripple effect happened right behind her close…too close she could feel the body heat he pumped out kinda close. The male shook her shoulder in pride before reaching down to get another piece of her trophy clicking he once again attached it to his belt tilting his head he watched the female as she didn't move a muscle out of his grasp, only her tail twitching she just watched him.

"what the hell does this thing want!?" Alicia fumed in her head watching as it once again began ripping pieces off of the dead body growling she wanted to move but the freaking ninja hold he had on her shoulder was so tight she feared moving he might break her collar bone. Sighing she looked up wondering who did she piss off to have this thing attached to her before she heard the purring, that wasn't her so who….looking over she noticed the male once again up and trying to get her to move.

'was she broken' Cel'tic wondered as he tried to get her attention why did it not move? They were done here why did she not move already' he clicked making his purring a bit louder . Tilting her head Alicia could have sworn she heard a cat purring, looking over to the beast she could hear it getting louder closer to him. Was that noise coming from him really? Slowly relaxing her tense frame she turned once again to the creature that was both savior as well as killer.

"um… so… I'm Alicia….do you have a name?" she questioned looking at the beast coming to stand from beside her to in front of her.

She watched as he did nothing but tilt his head and purr at her. Shoulders dropping she sighed as she watched him waiting for it to do something…anything…really the silence " Can he even talk…I mean I didn't see any lips on him only tucks…and crab legs…ew. Shaking her head in denial she raised her arm and touched his chest instantly the purring stopped but he didn't move. Feeling even bolder it went from finger tips to her palm resting on the spot that his armor that was burned away rested, Holy cow was he warm, she on the other hand was freezing, obviously heating was not invented when this place was built. Letting go of him she touched her chest and once again said her name and then touched him in the same spot looking back at his masked face asking what it was once more.

Looking down at the ooman touching him a part of him wanted to cut off the appendage that dared touch him from such an inferior species but his body wouldn't move. Where her hand rested tingled the feeling was amazing but he didn't understand why. When she removed her hand he wanted to grab it and put it back where it was before catching himself and standing still. Upon hearing her ask for his name again he decided this little…Alicia…was ok to know his name, she has proved herself, twice.

"Cel'tic" he growled and clicked at her watching her smile slightly

"Celtic" she murmured watching as he scoffed at her attempt at his name he nodded. "now that introductions are out of the way it was nice…kind of…to meet you but I have to go find Lex, so… goodbye" bowing waist deep she stood back up and began to sniff the air wondering where her friend was. Starting to walk away once more she was stopped by his hand on her shoulder, looking back at him she tilted her head confused why he didn't want her to leave his side. Pointing to his wrist computer then at her Alicia understood he could find Lex! Now knowing why he always played with that damn thing she smiled at him nodding her understanding, once again his purring started. Trying to stop himself from purring at the weird human Cel'tic moved to take the lead leading her to this…Leeex ooman, he would leave her with that ooman and find his last brother seeing as he was on the move that meant he had to be alive and well.

Running down the hallway Cel'tic could hear scraping up ahead growling to himself at yet another distraction he held his hand out to his companion to stop, watching as she slid herself closer to the wall tail poised to strike he activated his cloaking and moved to the edge of the corner waiting as the sound got closer and closer.
