Quickie.
Alexa rolled into the latrine slamming the door shut behind her. It was reinforced for some reason,but that was the last thing on her mind as the dark hunter began wailing on the door. Every punch sounded like a bomb going off making her jump a few times. She knew she didn't have much time,the door was looking as bumpy as a proactive commercial and was about to give.
All she needed was a little time to recover.
She tenderly touched her side and moved the fabric to find her lowest rib visibly broken and the skin bruising rapidly. She rhythmical breathed through the pain. Thank god for adrenaline! Suddenly,as the door bowed in,an idea hit her.
His blood sured through his veins and screamed in his ears like laughter as he viciously pounded in the door with a renewed fire in his breast.
One more punch! He would have his prize! This thrilling feeling! He hadn't had it in so long,it intoxicated him. Even though he saw the glowing smears all over the door,he felt no pain as it splattered and flecked his body when he delivered the finishing blow.
The door went flying into the latrine hitting and denting the toilet. The door clattered to the side of the throne like a coin. He strode into the latrine. Looking to the opposite side of the felled door he saw the ooman smiling up at him curled up in the corner.
That's when he noticed what she had her hand on.
"Forgot to flush!"Lex said smartly as she struck the black button on the wall sending flames out of the metal throne.
He shielded himself with one arm as the fire bit at his skin and hair. He heard his prey scuffle away under the heat blindness. He stumbled out after her,grinning widely.
Lex ran back into her sitting room but stopped cold on the other side. She couldn't explain the feeling that suddenly came over her,but only as a need that had to be met.
She turned around bowing her head and arching her back she steadied her eyes on the dark hunter.
He stopped,listening sharply. He shook his mighty head trying to shake off the blindness. He heard the other Yautja approaching from the right. He turned his head to him,pretending to be able to see him,and growled threateningly. "You'll have your turn suckling!"he hissed at Da'rix-na.
"You're a fool! I know you're blind and so does she!"Da'rix-na retorted.
His vision returned more to him as he blinked,he could make out the young yautja now. He was unarmored and without weapon. This one would take no time to kill.
And the female?
He looked back in her direction,and to his surprise she had taken a dominant stance.
Da'rix-na approached the other yautja carefully,his mandibles clicking with every step. He could see the blood lust in the others face,but.."Have you regained your sight? Can you not see she is blooded?"
He felt his hair stand on end at this revelation. She was blooded also!? He had to see for himself...
The hunter took one step toward her. Lex's arms bowed out at her sides,she bore her teeth, and she yelled..no roared. From her very core it emanated,a deep and high-pitched wail that echoed throughout the ship.
Da'rix-na and the dark other were stopped in thier tracks. Did she just..roar at them?
He glared into the ooman's eyes,looking for and sign of fear or falter.
There was none.
His body relaxed as the warning growl changed to a light curious clicking.
Da'rix-na relaxed himself as well. Now his attention diverted to his little surprising friend.
The dark one walked over to Lex.
His eyes never left hers,and vice versa. He came close to her breaking the gaze only with a quick glance at the mark she bore. He did a double take and found himself unable to conceal his look of surprise.
"Who gave you that mark?"he growled at her.
Unmoved from her stance,every muscle in her body tensed and at the ready. She found herself able to say something she could not say before.
"SCAR." She spat the name out venomously at him.
The ship sat in absolute silence and stillness.
She assumed that they had heard of Scar before,then...
Alexa could feel the hunters staring holes through her forehead as if to see a cartoon or something playing in her head. After a while she got tired of it. Alexa relaxed her body a bit and walked around the new hunter,not turning her back to him until she was out of striking distance. She headed up into the garden.
Da'rix-na and the dark one looked at each other,mandibles clicking with curiosity.
:D Huuurrr...yay!
