Chapter 12: Will You Be Mine?

Enjoy!

I felt so bad for what I just did. She used to be my best friend! But to see her like that! My Father, I'm gonna kill him if it's the last thing I do!

"It's not your fault!" Alice kept telling me "She wanted you to do it! It was her own choice! It was mercy!"

"Could you have done it? I mean before I wouldn't have been able to but now I kill, almost as if I enjoy it, like it doesn't bother me.… what's happening to me?" I asked quietly

"I think it has something to do with our Xeno DNA. Even I'm finding it easy to kill. We have the same bloodlust as a Xeno." She answered

"I guess..." we continued on through the long corridors until we finally found the control room. I could see through the windows and saw the King and Tali fighting the Crimsons but wait! That wasn't a princess crest! It was a Prince!

"Saladin?! What's he doing here?" I said surprised

"Who's Saladin?" asked Alice

"He's a Xeno Prince, Tali's brother! He must have come to help." I replied. I heard the king in my head

"Aidan! I told Tali to run because there were too many of them! I forced her but I can't hear her anymore! Please, you have to find her! Saladin and I shall wait here for you but hurry!" he shouted to me.

I tapped on the control panel and saw the doors opening. They were getting swarmed down there! "Alice! Kig! They're getting swarmed down there and they need backup! Go help them, I'll find Tali myself!" I ordered them.

"No! I'm not leaving you!" Alice argued.

"Alice! Without help, they die! Do you understand? They need your help!" she looked down and hesitantly said "Ok."

They ran off, back through the corridors toward the chamber. I set off myself to find Tali.

Tali's POV

How many of them are there?! I fought had fought many of these Crimsons but I was starting to tire. Just as I thought I slayed the last one, I felt a sharp pain in my leg! I screeched and fell to the floor. One of the Crimsons was looking down on me and lifted his claw ready to strike. I looked down and waited for my death. "Goodbye Aidan! I love you!"

*BANG*

"Feelin' lucky punk"

I looked up and saw the Crimson fall to the ground with Aidan's revolver behind it.

"AIDAN!" I screamed, and flung my arms and tail around him tightly as I whimpered into him. He hugged me back and I said

"I thought I was dead! I am so glad here! I missed you so much!"

"Hey, don't worry. I'm here now and there's nothing to worry about. You're safe" he said to me quietly

"I almost thought you left me." I said him, still whimpering.

"I will never leave you under any circumstances! You are my princess and my best friend. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you."

"Aidan…" I whispered to him

"Come on we need to get out of here. The doors open and everyone is holding off the Crimsons. Can you walk?" he asked

"Hang on" and I tried standing up but when I put force on my slashed leg it felt like my leg was on fire. "AHHH!" I screamed and he put his arms under my legs and my back and lifted me in his arms. I hugged him and leaned my head against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat. I wrapped my tail around his waist too. It felt like bliss! I had never felt safer than when he clutched me in his arms and held me close.

We reached the chamber where everyone was still fighting!

"I have her! I have Tali!" I heard Aidan shouting. I was starting to lose consciousness but I heard Father say

"Thank you Aidan! Give her to me and we can get out of here!" much to my displeasure, I was pulled from Aidan's arms and I was being carried by Father. After that, I lost consciousness and remembered no more.

Aidan's POV

I didn't like leaving her but should be safer with the king. We retreated out the door and out of the buildings. Fortunately, the Crimsons did not pursue us. We reached a drop ship landing platform and I heard a familiar voice speaking to me through speakers.

"I am sorry for your losses my Son, but this is all for science! To create a better chance for humanity! I hope the next time we meet, you will have changed you views." Of course! It was Father!

I saw him staring at me through the windshield of the drop ship as the pilots prepared for take off. "Goodbye Aidan"

"FATHER! YOU BASTARD" and I pulled out the revolver and fired at him multiple times. Of course it was bullet proof and it started to lift off. It was too late. My Father had escaped.

I watched it leave and heard a loud voice.

"HEEEY! MR. WEYLAND! I'M NOT ON BOARD!" We stared at each other and I felt a sudden blood rage through me!

"Oh shit!" He said and started to run. I pursued him, grabbed his shoulder, turned him round, grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air. I stabbed him repeatedly in the chest while yelling

"YOU… FUCKERS… HURT… CATHRINE! DIIIIEEEE!" I yelled at him while he was spurting blood from his wounds and mouth while gurgling and choking on his own blood!

"AHHHHH!" I yelled and threw his body to the ground. It made a horrible crunching sound as he crushed into the concrete from the force of my throw. I breathed heavily while his blood dripped from my hands and arms. Blood had soaked my shirt too.

Alice walked to me and said "Calm down Aidan! He's dead!"

My attitude completely changed as I looked at her and said between breaths "I'm a monster. I couldn't control myself!"

"It's ok. We understand." She said calmly "Let's go"

10 Hours later

Tali's POV

I woke up on something soft. I looked around and saw the room I was in. it looked like Aidan's building. My leg no longer hurt and I noticed a bandage around it. I up on my elbows and groaned. I heard a soothing voice next to me

"Hey there pretty lady. Slept well?" I looked next to me and found Aidan sitting next to me.

"Aidan!" I said with a smile

6 hours before

Aidan's POV

After a very long walk through the night, we finally reached the hive. When we got there, Queen Forlana was there to greet us. As we approached, she shouted "RAEL?!" and ran at the King.

She flung her arms around him and hugged and kissed him.

"How did you survive?" she asked him

"Because the thought of you and the hive kept me strong" he answered

"How did you get away?" she asked again

"Because of a very skilful young human. Aidan has saved both Tali and I from certain death and I owe him my life for it."

"Aidan." she said looking at me with a sigh. "Thank you so much for rescuing my bond mate and my daughter! I'm glad I did not kill you when you came to our hive. I am proud to call you a Xenomorph and a part of our hive." Her happiness faded as she realised something

"Where's Tali?!" she asked, looking around.

"She's here" said King Rael, pulling the still unconscious Tali from his back. "She's unconscious from a leg wound but it's nothing too serious." He replied to Forlana

"We'll have to get that healed." She said, looking at Tali's leg.

"Please my Queen." I butted in "Let me help Tali. I know first aid and I have bandages that can help the healing process. I can take care of her until morning." A said

She looked at Rael who then responded "As you wish Aidan. You have helped the hive a great deal. I shall trust my daughter to you." with that, he put Tali into arms and I responded with "Thank you my King."

As Rael and Forlana walked back to the hive together, I turned to the others and asked "Kig, is there anywhere you want to stay?"

"I shall find my own place to reside. Somewhere in this area so I can stay nearby and provide help when it's needed." He responded.

"Alright. And Alice, I assume you want to come back home" I asked Alice

"Of course" she responded. So finally, I turned to Saladin, who had been silent, this entire trip. He finally spoke to me

"Human, you saved my sister and my Father. I had assumed that all humans were scum but after that, it seems I was too quick to judge. I am sorry for my hostility prior to these events. I hope that you will forgive me." He said apologetically.

"Thank you Saladin. I am happy that you have appreciated me being with the hive."

He smiled and said "Take care of my sister" and with that, he too ran off to the hive.

Alice and I walked back into our old house. It felt so welcoming. I turned to Alice and said "If you're hungry, there should be some deer and berries in the fridge. Also your room still should be relatively untouched so you should be fine sleeping there. I have to tend to Tali." She responded with

"Goodnight", pecked me on the cheek and ran off to her room.

I laid Tali on the clear table and ran off to get some special, military grade, acid proof bandages. With the necessary tools, I stitched the wound back up and wrapped the bandages around her leg. I pulled up a chair and waited for her to wake up.

5 hours later

I watched her as she started to twist her head and wake up. She groaned and got up.

"Hey there pretty lady. Sleep well?" I asked her with a smile.

"Aidan!" she said and I saw a big smile on her lips.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Much better now that I'm with you" she said to me with a sweet sigh.

I couldn't hold it any more! She was so wonderful and I had to tell her how I felt!

"Tali, there's something I've been meaning to say but I could never get myself to. Damn my human nerves." I said with a slight laugh. "Tali, I love you! I love you so much! I couldn't keep the feeling in anymore. I have thought you as the sweetest Xenomorph in existence at the moment I met you. Without you, I wouldn't know what I'd do! You are the only girl for me! I will settle for no one else!"

I was scared at what she might say

"Aidan, I have felt all of that to! I have always felt a deep connection between us like nothing could separate us."

"Tali… Will you be my bond mate?" She answered the question with "Oh Aidan" and pulled my shirt so that our lips collided. I took that as a yes.

Well that was a chapter and a bit! Glad I managed all that compared to how long the other chapters tend to be. Anyway tell me what you thought about it and as always, please review, follow and have a nice day ;)
