Here we are people, the end. This has been a great story to write. And people seem to like it, maybe, I'm going off of views right now. Not actual opinions, mainly because I've only had one and that was during chapter 3. Also, it took 5 hours to make last chapter. This will not take as long, nor will it be as long, last on was like 3.5 thousand words. I started at 7am and passed out and finished it 2 hours ago from the time this is up. Its 9 PM right now. This can't be healthy. Fuck it, I'll take a break after this is done, or at least slow down before I die and get burned out on this. Anyways, lets start this up.

Chapter 10:Epilogue

It had been 3 days since the chopper crashed. We had finally found a place safe and isolated to rest. It was a cave we found whilst walking aimlessly. We had been walking 3 days straight, we needed the rest. As we neared the entrance, I began to collapse, it was a struggle to even stay conscious, let alone walk to the cave.

"Come on Logan, we're almost there." I heard Zillah said weakly. Even for her, this was a struggle. We got to the entrance and began to tumble down the steep slope that it had. We then began to go into a free fall as we both fell on our backs in the cave. It knocked the wind out of us as we struggled to breathe. After we began to breathe again, we just lied there, not able to move with how exhausted we were. We were exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and needed a shower, at least, I did. I think Zillah is just tired and hungry. The guys back in Detroit took all of our gear, so we didn't have any food or water. We were beginning to give up hope, when a few flies started to buzz in my face.

"Screw off." I said aloud to the flies. I could barely swat at them. Then I realized, if there are files down here, that could mean there is water! I tried to listen to see if I could hear any water, and sure enough, I could hear a waterfall. "Zillah, listen." I said through the mental link. I was doing my best to get up and investigate to see if it was the real deal. It was a struggle but I finally got up.

"Is that... a waterfall I hear?" She said a bit excited. Her tail began to swish back and forth excitedly. She began to get up as well and grabbed my arm to help me get to the waterfall. I didn't care if it needed to be purified, I was so thirsty that it was amazing I didn't die from dehydration! When we got close enough to see it, we were able to see a waterfall that poured water into a small pond. "Logan! Water! Come on!" She practically screamed. She started to basically drag me to the pond for water, which I'm glad she did, like I said, it was hard enough to stay conscious, let alone actually walk. I began drinking like crazy. I don't think it needed purified, it tasted like regular water, no funky taste or anything, and was really clear. It was possibly the best water ever! While I was drinking, Zillah began to hunt, scavenge, and explore the area, inside and outside the cave. She came back after a little while with a lighter, some twigs and branches, a knife, and a dead deer. The big hole in it's skull indicated she already ate. I didn't know which parts to cut out that were edible, but I think I don't think it would be that hard. The smell was awful as I began to skin it and take what I think was edible. I took the lighter and put the twigs and branches in a pile and lit it aflame. The smoke was thankfully going out of the entrance, not piling up and suffocating us. I put what I think was edible, put it on a stick, and started to cook. After a while, it looked like it was ready, so I took it out and began eating. It tasted wonderful, I never had venison, let alone this fresh venison. After eating practically the whole deer, we just laid there happily. The wound I had after being impaled had mostly healed, it was still sore, but I was going to live. I laid on top of Zillah as she hugged me and purred softly. It felt nice. We fell asleep after a while, having the best sleep we ever had.

I had woken up to hear Zillah groaning in pain a few hours later. "Zillah!? What's wrong!?" I said panicked a little.

"I think I am becoming a queen!" She shouted in labored breaths of pain.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"No! Aahhhhhhh!" She screamed in pain. This was just heartbreaking. Evolution just had it out for these guys. I lied there for a few hours trying to ignore her screams and hisses of agony as she was molting into a queen. I could see why she was in pain though. She was growing in size and height at an extremely fast pace. After an hour, she had grown 3 feet, her body wasn't used to such a speed in growth. After what felt like an eternity, she started to quiet down a little. She was ginormous now at 20 feet tall, instead of her previous 8 feet tall. I was only a forth of her size. She also had a smaller second pair of hands.

"Are you ok?" I said worried out of my mind.

"Yes I think." She said a little exhausted.

"How do you feel?" I asked curiously.

"I feel better than ever." She said as she picked me up to give me a hug,

"Your so... big!" I said. "It just gives me more to love." I said happily. She started to purr, but she was much louder this time, and because of us being in a cave, it echoed making a very peaceful like noise it seemed. Though to someone else, it would seem ominous.

"I think we're officially safe. The Hive won't dare come near another queen, I can protect you much more easily now because of my size. There won't ever have to be anything you have to worry about from now on Logan." She said happily.

"I love you mother" I said sleepily.

"I love you too Logan." She said as they both fell asleep.

We both woke up hours later still hugging each other. Zillah's tail was gone now, and was replaced with a giant sack like thing.

"What happened to your tail?" I asked.

"I still have my tail, it's just inside my egg sack." Before he could ask why she had an egg sack, she explained it to him. "I have an egg sack, because as queen, I will begin laying facehugger eggs. Don't worry, they won't come after you, I have control over them. They will just go after Yautja, animals, and any threats that come near us. I will never let them come after you, don't worry." She explained.

A few hours later, 20 eggs were laid and hatched. I was still scared out of my mind when I saw them. I was trying to keep my face away from them by any means necessary. "It's ok Logan, they won't attack you, if they were, they would be crawling all over you by now." This made me a little less scared. I got down from Zillah and went over to one of them. I got down on my knee and began rubbing what I think was it's back. It was the part you see when they are facehugging someone that I rubbed. It seemed to like this. It began to crawl up my arm, this scared me half to death, making me fall on my back. It landed on my chest and seemed to lay there, like it was sleeping. "He likes you." I heard Zillah say.

"Sad he will die after his job is done." I said.

"Yeah, but the Xenomorph that will come out of that one will like you instantly." She said.

"Oh, that's nice." I said. "Well, you should probably send them to do the job they were born for." I said. She seemed to agree as she gave a hiss and all of the facehuggers left the cave, in search of a host.

I went to sleep with Zillah again. A few hours later, 20 Xenomorphs came back to the cave. Zillah woke me up when they came. "Logan. Wake up. Your new brothers and sisters are here." She said.

I woke up at this. I looked around to see 20 Xenomorphs looking at us. This was still a bit frightening, but I managed to hold back my fears and approach one of them. I then heard a voice in my head, but it wasn't Zillah.

"Hello little brother. What is your name?" It sounded feminine.

"My name is Logan" I said a little shy. I had a feeling she was the Xenomorph that was in the facehugger I rubbed earlier.

"That is a wonderful name Logan. What do you wish to call me?" She asked.

"I was thinking about calling you Xander (Defender of Man(Zan-Der))" I said.

"I like it." Xander said simply. I went up to hug her and she gladly accepted. I met the other 19 Xenomorphs too, all who gladly accepted me (I'm not gonna spend 2 hours looking up unique names that fit them, would you do it? No you wouldn't). It felt wonderful to have so much love at once. Xander and me became best friends almost immediately. We all helped each other in the hive, until it became an entire community where almost everyone knew everyone.

It was a wonderful life, I have turned 15 now, I couldn't be any happier. I was about to go to sleep with Zillah when I heard Xander call out to me. "Yes?" I said. We had become such good friends lately. It was so nice to have a friend, after not having any for many years.

"Well, I just feel like I needed to say something. I, uhm, I, ah screw it." She said. She went up to me and kissed me. It felt weird. I was shocked but quickly accepted it. We stood there kissing for what felt like forever, but I was glad, as it was nice and I never wanted it to end. When it finally did end though, we just stared at each other. "I love you." She said.

"I love you too Xander." I said as I hugged her. She purred with happiness. "Come on, it's time for us to sleep." I said. We both were holding hands as we walked to the main chamber to sleep with the rest of our brothers and sister, including Zillah. Xander and I both slept next to each other, as she still purred. "Good night Xander." I said.

"Good night Logan." She said as we slept next to each other. Apparently I could be happier, and I was.

Dear fellow readers, I am sad to say, this story like many others, has come to an end. But, I'm thinking about making a sequel, so keep that in mind.
