Chapter eight: Secret
(Hawaii – Apartment, 08:27)
Rag'ta saw her complete confusion. "I am of the race best known as Yautja, you are of human origin, though, more than 20 years ago a warrior traveled to earth for the same purpose as I. He never returned, presumed dead another warrior took his place to complete the mission. When he arrived on earth he found the mission had been completed, so he searched for the body of the 'fallen comrade' to remove traces of our existence." He said and then seemed to take a deep inhale of breath.
"The warrior found the one who was presumed dead, but to his utter surprise he had fallen in love with a human woman and bore three children with her, of which one was still in the womb." Rag'ta seemed to be choosing his worlds carefully.
"A new mission was issued to him after informing the elder on our planet, the mission was to annihilate the woman and her children and then take the traitor back for judging." He took another deep breath.
"The traitor was your father…" He said softly and Monique's eyes went as big as plates, before she could argue, he continued. "Your father said that he would not allow the woman or his offspring to be harmed, instead he let himself be killed to rectify his sin. He convinced the council the children looked human, except for the eyes, and that the woman wouldn't breathe a word of their existence as long as she lived." He said and now Monique spoke.
"Bullshit!" She yelled in disbelief and Rag'ta was expecting such a reaction, she was shocked.
"I am still a young blood, but the story is true, we do not lie, it is not honorable to do such a thing." He said and she now understood why he freaked out on her like that over a small white lie.
She felt panicked, if he didn't lie, the story was true, but that was not possible. "I don't believe you, I can't believe you." She said and he gave something similar to a sigh and put his hands to his mask, plugging out some sort of tubes that let out a gas.
"What you see now will shock you, look past the appearance and look at my eyes." He said, he was well aware of the human reaction to their facial structure, though, in his opinion, humans were the ugly ones.
She took a deep breath as he took of his mask; she raised her hand to her mouth as she saw the bizarre face in front of her, she had trouble taking it in, so she did what he said and looked passed his appearance and looked at his eyes. That was when her breath was knocked away. It was identical to hers; she could've been looking in a mirror.
He saw her surprise and spoke. "You are a half-breed, half Yautja, half human. That is why you adapted so quickly to our language, why your eyes are golden and why the 'monsters' went after to you so much." He said and she, now, fainted.
