Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written in a long time, but I was a little stuck and didn't have much time, and am working on a draft for a new fanfiction. Now, as you can see, I finally began to write again!

We remained within the small crack upon the side of the cave. It was safe, and there were no chances of a deadly, aggressive killing machine to be hidden in the shadows.

I'm beginning to lose hope... Steel Claw growled.

I looked at him, shocked. The only thing that has made us survive so long was hope, and if he began to lose it, the consequences for him could be disastrous!

No! You musn't lose hope! It's all we have, along with each other! I hissed. Although, deep down, I knew that our species had no chance.

I can tell that you too are beginning to lose it...

He was correct. I shuddered slightly. I nearly forgot the fact that xenomorphs are telepathic and know how you feel.

We sat there, silently. Steel Claw was constantly looking at his tail, whose end was nothing more than a dry, green stub.

Look at it. How disgraceful I look. Steel Claw said, ashamed.

I moved forward, to inspect his tail. It could have been far worst, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be annoyed. Our tails are among our primary weapons- without it, we would be much weaker and easier to kill.

It's okay. There aren't any other xenomorphs around who will kill you.

Usually, if you are wounded, older members of our species will kill you as they will see you as weak. The Queen never likes it when that happens, but most xenomorphs are neutral about it.

A few hours later, we decided to sleep, as the sun was beginning to slowly dive below the horizon. Later, when it was rising again, when the light was blessing the land once more, we awoke, drowsily getting up onto our legs. We decided to leave, as we didn't want to live right next to the carnovarus.

We left the small hole, and wandered away, in search of a new home. We were now tired nomads, lost in time and place. We marched through the dry landscape, where nothing much happened. We lived on a planet so harsh, few could ever survive.

After an hour of walking, we saw some humans. They were not the same ones who murdered my family, but they were obvious allies of the ones who did. They had not seen us, and we were famished. Our stomachs were empty, and the strange thing was that if we stayed without food for too long, the stomach acid would slowly grow more powerful, until it simply eats through the inside of the stomach, ultimately ending up killing us.

Steel Claw and I slowly crept up to a large rock, and hid behind it. We watched the humans- they were unaware that they were being stalked by one of the deadliest predators to have ever evolved in the galaxy.

I raised up my bladed tail, ready to strike if one came too close. Steel Claw jealously looked at my blade, then raised his hands, flexing his claws.

There were two humans, each one with enough flesh to last us for days.

We ran forwards, and we killed them before they even knew they were dead. I impaled mine with my tail, piercing it straight through its heart, whilst Steel Claw quickly rammed his inner mouth through the head of one of the humans. Blood splattered onto the ground, as he retracted his mouth, and ate part of the humans fleshy brain.
