"So what are we?" I asked, confused. If we weren't human what were we?
"I'm not sure, but something called a Xenomorph."
"That is what we are." The Queen interrupted upon hearing the name. Spencer and I both turned towards the jaw had dropped unconsciously.
"So, we are more like you genetically?"
"Yes, but somehow our bodies still appear completely human." Spencer answered before the Queen even thought to respond.
"Well, then I guess that settles it." I hissed, "let's go hunt some humans." I smirked; I knew this was wrong to do according to the humans, but I wasn't human. I was a genetically altered Xenomorph, technically, because I had more Xenomorph DNA in me than human.
We had been wandering through hallways, following all the Xenomorphs. We hadn't found any humans around yet, but occasionally there were blood spots on the walls or holes in the walls, as if there was a gun fight. I thought back to those old movies I had seen, occasionally Doctor Thompson would bring things for me to watch in my spare time, usually making a writing assignment out of it. Nonetheless, I knew very well what guns were and how dangerous they were.
"Here is where we leave you two." One of the Xenomorphs turned and hissed to Spencer and myself. "Go out the doors ahead and you will find more humans, while we will remain in here, and when you get a good enough group, send them in."
"Okay." I answered. "Are you going to kill them or just knock them out?"
"We usually take them to the Queen's chambers to become hosts, but if a certain human irritates us enough or harms us, we tend to enjoy watching them die in pain, never having the honor of becoming a host."
"I understand." I began to walk towards the door which Spencer was already at, waiting for me.
"However," one of them said, and I turned to listen to his hisses. "You might want to stay out of the way. In all the confusion, we may make a mistake and attack you or him."
"I understand, we'll signal to you when we are away from the group." I hissed back and he nodded his head in response. Suddenly they all dispersed into the surrounding areas to hide. I turned around and walked towards the doors.
"Ready?" Spencer asked, returning to English once more.
I took a deep breath, "Yes." And we pushed the doors open.
