Ellie came to with a groan, her head was pounding and her eyes felt like they had a pound of lead on each eye lid.
"Oh have you come to?" Dr. Zeeltor asked.
"Dr. Zeeltor how did I get here? What happened?" Ellie groaned again as she sat up.
"Ellie don't you remember? You and X are officially mates now!" Dr. Zeeltor said cheerfully.
"Oh no…." Ellie fell back onto the pillow she had been laying on. "I just remembered a night mare I had it was horrible and once I open my eyes it will all go away."
"Ellie what night mare?" Dr. Zeeltor said looking up form his chair concerned.
Ellie opened one of her eyes only to violently shudder and quickly close it again. "I was hoping that becoming X's mate was all just a nigh mare, I was hoping that once I opened my eyes you wouldn't be here telling me this. But it seems that fate is not so kind and that my night mare is actually a horrible reality." Ellie said starting to turn to face the opposite wall.
"Oh come now Ellie it's not bad in fact I think you and X make a great couple!" Dr Zeeltor said with a blinding smile on his face. Ellie opened her mouth to say something when Agent J burst into the room.
"Oh there you are Ellie! X has been looking all over for you, in fact he nearly killed one of the newbie's who said that he could care less where you were. Agent K and I had to separate them, man that guys going to have a shiner right on his eye to remember you and X by."
Just then Agent K walked in to the room. "Ellie X seems to be really franticly looking for you, almost looks scared If I didn't know any better Id say he was about to go onto a panic attack that would involve a lot of sobbing. Did something happen?" Agent K said looking as Ellie's face went as white as paper.
"He's looking for me?" Ellie said in a week voice.
"Yes in fact he should be…" Agent J started just then though they heard a loud crash from the hallway outside.
X burst into the room looking around the room franticly. He spotted Ellie on the hospital bed and froze he seemed to stop breathing all together. "Ellie what's wrong! Did someone hurt you!" X's eyes seemed to turn slightly red around the edges when he said this.
Oh please no! Ellie thought as she watched X's eyes. "I'm fine X no one hurt me I just fainted from blood loss and had to rest a bit that's all." Ellie said as fast as she could, trying to calm X down.
X looked a little guiltily at Ellie's neck when she said this. He should have waited he knew that after all her blood loss from the wolf aliens she was sure to be faint. That along with him marking her probably resulted in her losing to much blood. He felt really bad for causing his mate pain, causing your mate pain was one of the most horrible things a Jee'Dangian could do. How could he have done something so horrible to her! X just wanted to melt into the floor.
Ellie looked at X's distressed face; he had become really depressed for some reason. "X really I'm ok see." Ellie got up out of the bed and started to walk, but one of Dr. Zeeltor's books were on the floor and Ellie didn't see it in time, and before she could stop she tripped and was starting to fall. Ellie braced her self as she started to fall and closed her eyes. But she felt strong arms wrap around her holding her up right and from falling. Ellie opened her eyes to see X holding her with a protective look on his face.
"I'll be the judge of that." X said carrying Ellie bridal style back to the hospital bed, he wouldn't let her lift a finger until he was a hundred percent sure she was ok. He had to make up for what he had done to her. Marking her at such an unreasonable time, when she was so weak, but his instinct had taken over so there was really nothing he could do. He would just have to make it up to her and make sure she would not do anything at all until she was beyond a hundred percent healthy. X laid Ellie onto the bed so she was facing him, he lowered his face down to her neck once again and stared to sniff the crook of her neck and starred to trail down her body taking long whiffs of her skin he traveled back up her torso and back up to her face but then he froze and stared to breath harder he looked at her shoulder and his eyes grew wide with an unreadable feeling flashing in them. Ellie looked at where X was looking on her shoulder and say that there was a small rip in her shirt; more like a small knife had cut a clean rip through it. It was right where X's hand had caught Ellie when he had wrapped his arms around her. Ellie looked at X's hand and took note of his sharp claws, on of then had red liquid dripping off of it. Then it clicked X must have accidently cut her with his claws when he caught her, nothing major really. So why did X look like the end of the world had just come?
"X…?" Ellie said a little worried at X's reaction.
X picked up Ellie's arm with reverence. "Ellie I'm so sorry…. What have I done?" X said with the same look of horror on his face.
"X's I'm fine it is just a scratch, and its not like you did it on purpose." Ellie said.
X still didn't look connivance, he brought Ellie's arm up to his mouth and slowly put his mouth over the cut and started sucking as softly and tenderly as he could. After about five minutes he pulled away still licking the cut, he was letting out purring like sounds as he did this. Just then there was a noise from the corner of the room. Agent J and K were still in the room and both shocked even agent K's usually stoic face showed surprise.
"Do you mind?" X asked glaring at the trio who had been watching them. Ellie put her hands over her face to hide her embarrassment.
"X man what are you dong to her!" Agent J yelled.
"I'm simply cleaning her wound that's all." X stated, almost as if it were a normal thing for humans to do.
"That cant be sanitary! Dr. Z what's gong on? Tell X to stop this is just gross! He's probably infesting Ellie's cut with germs, now she'll have to take antibiotics and get her arm checked for rabies!"
"I do not have Rabies agent J!" Agent X yelled.
"Oh yah! Well form where I'm standing It sure looks like your acting a lot friendlier than usual! I'm pretty sure that's a symptom of rabies!" Agent J argued back.
"On the contrary agent J a Jee'Dangians saliva is a very good disinfector, better than some medical drugs in fact. If look as Ellie's arm the cut should have healed already due to X's medical treatment." Dr. Zeeltor said with a smile even wider than usual.
"Yah, well you know what! I would rather stick with the old fashion Neosporin and I'm sure Ellie would too!" Agent J shot back. "That was just disgusting!"
Agent K who had been in shock this whole time finally decided to take action. He had been at the agency a very long time and in the process had learned a lot about different alien customs including there mating rituals. On his list of Alien knowledge was Jee'Dangian and he was pretty sure that what X just did was only what a male would do for his mate, but that would make Ellie and him….. Agent K just wanted to confirm his theory before he made a conclusion. He stood up and walked over to X he then grabbed X's right arm and Ellie's right arm in his left hand, he then proceeded to get down on one of his knees and began a old Jee'Dangain chant he had been taught, when he was done he touched the top of Ellie's and X's hand's to his forehead, he gave one last growl before he stood up again letting go of both there hands. X smiled and growled back at Agent K and quickly grabbed agent K's shoulder going onto his own knees and saying a similar chant and touched the top of agent K's hand to his own forehead and then stood up.
Agent K let a rare smile reach his lips. "I hope you to will be very happy together." He said, he was not exactly shocked, he knew this was coming ever since Ellie almost died and X had held her in the forest. He was simply mildly surprised because he thought that X would wait a little bit longer. But he was truly happy for them both.
"Thank you agent K for your blessings, though I must admit you surprised me that you knew the Jee'Dangian custom of congratulating a soon to be married couple. I thank you greatly for your consideration and kindness." X said with a smile on his own face.
"Wait what!" Agent J had decided to join in on the conversation again. "What do you mean soon to be married couple? K man what are you doing? Did X put you under a spell or something? What was with those weird chanting and kneeling?"
Dr. Zeeltor who had been watching the whole time cut in. "Let me explain it to you Agent J. You see what Agent K just did is an old Jee'Dangian custom. He kneeled to show his allowance and happiness for the marriage, and that he would not get in the way of there joining but submit and show support to ir. His chanting was a form of ancient Jee'Dangain language hardly ever used except for these occasions. He was wishing X and Ellie a happy marriage with lots of hopes for there future and that they would have many children together in there happy lives. Putting X and Ellies hands to his forehead showed that he has excepted them together and in a way was telling X to protect Ellie and Telling Ellie to be fathful to X. When X got down on his knees and chanted it was to say thank you and to reassure Agent K that he would protect Ellie with his very life. Jee'Dangian culture has a lot of symbolism in it so you see every little move Agent K and X did was representing something or other." walked over to X and repeated what Agent K had done not seconds before hand. X repeated his part as well with a small smile.
"So your telling me Ellie is going to get married…..? Are you serious?" Agent J asked his voice growing weak.
"Yup sport, so why don't you get over there and with them a happy life together." Agent K said pushing agent J over to X and Ellie. K then pulled J down onto his knees and told him to repeat the chant right after him. When the chant was done agent J stood in shock. He turned to X and Ellie and then looked at Agent K. "I still think its kind of weird but I can support it if there both happy, so I'm cool. As long as X treats her right I'm happy for them. So when's the wedding?"
"Oh yah that's what I came here for I almost forgot! My mother should be arriving soon, there are a few rituals that must be done before we can become married and actually consummate our marriage.
"Your mother?" Ellie screeched.
Jut then there was a voice, "Where's my son! Where's X?" v
I'm really sorry for the delay! With school work and Christmas vacation Ive been really busy! I'm very happy about your comments on how you think the story should go they would truly be welcome!
