She tossed her mask to the floor and ran up to me. She ran up to me and wrapped herself around my arms. This took me by surprise, for she didn't seem sympathetic toward me just the day before.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you. It was horrible. Please forgive me." said Alice as she embraced my body.

Alice, what are you doing here? What is this place?

"This place is… wait, did you just speak?!" she asked in shock.

You can hear me?! I said surprised too. I wasn't talking, I was just using my telepathy as I would usually in my hive when I communicate with the queen and warriors. Alice wasn't able to understand me before, how could she understand now? Alice let go of my arm and asked me to say something again. I said hello, but what followed was a long awkward silence.

"Umm, are you saying anything?" she asked. She couldn't understand me anymore. Now I was confused, but then I figured it out. I motioned for her to place her hand on my arm again, and then I spoke, Can you hear me now?

She nodded. "Yes, I can. Does this only work when I make physical contact?" she asked. That's what I theorized as well.

I think that's how it works. Strange, I never knew we had that kind of telepathic power. I realized what I wanted to ask Alice, and focused on the issue at hand. Alice, why was I brought on this ship. Why did your men capture me. You even killed many of my hive members. Alice, I care about you, but I can't hide my anger towards these humans, especially what they did to my family.

It worried me how it took Alice quite a while to answer. "I'm really sorry for what happened to your family, but we had to do it. My grandfather is in charge of a branch of the weyland yutani corporation. He oversees the alien life form research. He was interested after his visit ten years ago. He had never seen a xenomorph king before, and he desperately wanted to go back to your planet and capture you. My grandfather wanted me on the expedition because he knew that you weren't going to hurt me. I was opposed to this, but he said that he would go and kill every xenomorph in your hive to get to you. Therefore, I decided to go, only to devise a plan that could avoid the destruction of your entire hive. I'm sorry for tricking you, but I did it so my grandfather didn't have to hurt anymore of your family."

I stared down at the ground. You didn't hurt the queen, did you?

"No, we didn't. My men were forced to fight some of the xenomorphs, but most of the hive was left unharmed. I'm sorry. Please forgive us. It pained me to see you in pain, especially when you were pinned against that other monster of an alien."

You were watching me the entire time? You didn't bother to stop it, then?! Alice sensed the hostility in my voice. As much as I didn't want to seem aggressive toward Alice, I was very angered at the fact that she could just sit behind the one way class and watch me get beaten by that alien. It would've have been better if she was not watching or if she was oblivious to the fact. But she knew! It meant that she was completely fine watching me get hurt.

"I didn't watch it out of enjoyment! I work as a doctor here. The company uses that room all the time to test skills of different alien creatures, and I have to watch to have a better understanding of the injuries. It's not like I treat humans. Aliens are foreign and we need as much information as we can get to do our jobs. The company's major priority is to keep all these specimens alive."

What is Weyland Yutani doing with all these aliens?

"Well, my grandfather's branch does research on foreign organisms, like I mentioned before. It started out as a simple organization that discovered new alien species. However, I felt that my grandfather became power hungry after collecting all kinds of aliens. He biologically engineered many of them to make them "optimal" and, basically weapons of destruction. He created many artificial specimens from the DNA of different species. That alien you fought was named Specimen 14. He isn't even the worst one. You might not be as strong as these artificial creatures, but my grandfather was always fond of the xenomorph and he it's only once in a lifetime where he could meet a xenomorph King."

Alice, what do you plan to do? Do you agree with your grandpa and want me to be scrutinized under this organization, or are you going to help me to leave?

"Of course I want you to be free! But I don't if that is possible…" before Alice could finish, to tall men entered the room.

"Miss Alacard, your grandfather would like to see you!" ordered one of the men. He stared at Alice's close proximity to me(which was unusual) and they had heard her speaking before they entered. "Who, were you talking to?" asked the men. Alice quickly let go of my arm. As you could imagine, the men began to look at Alice like she was some weird scientist who was too close to the specimens. Alice was about to say something, but I motioned to her not to reveal that she could talk to me through telepathy. I was sure they had not discovered that yet, and if they find out, all the scientists will get fired up.

Alice hesitated and said, "I was just treating his arm. But, I just finished, I'll be going now." She took off her gloves and through them into a compartment. I was disappointed that she was leaving. There was still so much I wanted to ask her. She walked across from me and whispered softly, "The third button from the left." The men didn't hear her. She approached the door the two escorted her out of the room. I looked over at the panel on the side of the room. Sure enough, the third button was a large red one that had the words release. It was my lucky day, for I realized that the restraints had not fastened my tail. It could move around more or less freely. I reached my tail toward the panel and pressed down on the button.

Please review my story. Sorry for not updating. I'll probably get a chapter uploaded every other or three days.
