Mina and her brothers watched in the shadow of the trees of an some animals getting ready to pounce on it till it ran away. They were going to go after it till they saw a Castithan fall on to his side as he held up his slashed weapon up.

Sister he is being hunted.

Mina nodded as they jumped out of the shadows and Mina stood in front of the Castithan man as she hissed the wrist blades coming out as she hissed.

"What xenomorphs? Wait who are you?!" He yelled out loud.

"Ssssilence! He is coming," Mina said as her tail swung by his face as he fell down. She looked in front of her as she hissed hearing the foot falls. Suddenly she heard the shift of leaves as they looked around. Mina stood up at her full height as she looked around them. She turn to the male Castithan and notice the three red dots on him as she grabbed his ankle and pulled him away as a hole formed in the ground. She pulled him to his feet and looked at him.

"Go with my brothers to the hive now if you want to live now go!" Mina yelled at him as he turned and followed Mizal and Roku who looked back at her but continued none the less. Mina turned as she heard something heavy fall but could not see it. She crouched forward as her tail swung some in the air as she looked around. She heard a type of clicking noise then suddenly her tail was grabbed as it dragged her to the ground and pulled her across the ground. She turn and kicked at the air connecting with something as they yelled out. Suddenly they became visible and she could see it was a Yataja. She twisted her body away as she back flipped back on to her feet as she ran towards them and spun the wrist blades extending as it sliced across their chest and down their arm. It yelled more as it took it's spear and tried to stab her but it only nicked her arm as she hissed loudly and dropped to her hands and knees as she took the slashed weapon as a blue blade showed she spun and stabbed it into it's gut as she twisted the blade.

"Die," Mina whispered as she pulled it out and the Yataja fell to the ground. She then grabbed him by the threads from his head and dragged him along with her.

Mina enter the hive to see the male Castithan sitting as Mizal and Roku stayed around him as the other xenomorphs were hssing. They turned to her as she kicked the Yataja's body from the ledge she was on. Many xenomorphs swarmed to the dead body as Mina jumped as she landed on the ground knelling in front of the Castithan male. Mina then stood up as she walked around him and went to the Queen who was laying down as she lifted her head to look at her. Mina crouched down as the Queen placed her mouth against Mina's forehead then moved it to the wound on her arm.

It's fine mother. The Yataja is dead and I am fine. How is the Castithan?

He is alright but he seems confused about what you are. Go assure him he is alright. We owe alot to the Castithan.

Mina nodded as she stood up and walked over knelling in front of the Castithan.

"I am Mina. Thisss isss my home and I am xenomorph like my brothers and sisters," Mina told him. He looked confused and unsure as she sighed some. "Humansss experimented on me when I was a little human and made me like thisss. I only know mysssself asss a xenomorph. Not human." Mina waited for him to say something but he didn't so she stood and ducked down into somewhere. When she came back she carried to things with her. One was a container of water and the other a new castithan blade for him. She sat them in front of him as he took them.

"Thank you," he told her looking to her as he drank the water. Mina nodded as she moved to sit on the ground as Roku came over and laid his head on her lap as he hissed softly to her.

"I don't care to know your name but ssstay here and rest for a while. Then you may go to wherever it wass," Mina told him.

And that is how I saved Datak," Mina said as her tail swung in the air some as she looked to them. Stahma was smiling but she could see the wonder in it some and fear. Alak was just staring and Christie seemed to show some type of respect for her in a way while Datak had a look of remembering the past. Mina lifted her glass and began to drink from it.

"Wait how did you get the new weapon," Alak asked her as she looked to him and then sat her cup down.

"I scavenge for things and take them as my own... Some of the things I get come from those that are already dead...," Mina said as she looked down at Tikalia who stared at her. "My human part needs.. objects for me to call as my own and I need clothes for obvious reasons." It became quiet and Mina stood up as Tikalia climbed off the table to the ground.

"Excuse me, I would like to be alone for the rest of the night," Mina told them as she bowed her head to them and left. She came to a place that had two torches on either side of an opening that showed plants and the buildings further away. Mina sat down as Tikalia looked around outside. Mina did too as she tilted her head some as she looked up at the sky watching the clouds move in the night sky.

"Um Mina," she heard someone say and look to see it was Christie. "I'm sorry I know you said you wanted to be alone but... do you hate all humans? I mean I know that some of them did awful and terrible things to you..." Christie drifted off with talking as she looked down at the ground.

"I don't," Mina suddenly said not looking to her as she looked outside. "Why do you ask me?"

"It's just that when I first meet you... you just seemed wary of everyone especially of me," Christie told her.

"It's not you, it is this town. Also I miss my home and the rest of my kin but I do not trust this town. Not with my kin yet... I have to protect them with all I have," Mina said some not completely out loud as she held Tikalia to her chest and pulled her knees up. She then heard a sound in the plants as she looked up.
