I do not own predator, AVP or anything else. Nor do I receive money for this.
Those under 16 should not read this. This is a 'M' story. Thanks to the reviewers!
Chapter 28:
*6 weeks later, Lyna POV*
''…Uncle, it can't go on like this. I must leave.'' she in a tired voice, talking to her uncle's back.
The town was practically invaded by Arbitrators. For over a month she had looked over her shoulder: never really safe, always anxious. Twice she almost had been caught; once they got a rebel from their group. The teenager almost never went out now, too scared of being taken by one of them. They were the Predators, the Hunters… They would get her sooner or later and she knew it.
The man, who was leaning over his desk, banged his fist on it.
'' Don't say things like that! You're my niece, Lyna. I'll always keep you safe and you know it.'' He growled.
The girl shook her head: '' It is not my safety I worry about.''
Christopher turned toward her: '' We could all move…''
'' Uncle: Jeff was captured a week ago. We will move then what? It'll just start all over again in another town. It is my fault: I should have never left Him in the first place…'' She grumbled.
Frowning, the gray eyed man walked to her and grabbed her shoulders tightly: '' I will not allow you to go back to one of these monster! And certainly not as one of their…sick, twisted version of a wife! '' he said, shaking her slightly.
'' Christopher…'' She sighed at his description of a mate.
He hugged her to him: '' I lost my family once… I don't want to lose it again.''
Her throat tightened: he was hard-headed, stubborn and not open-minded at all about yautjas, borderline rude sometimes, they were not always getting along, but she had come to care about him and love him. If she'd leave, she would miss him.
She returned his embrace: '' I know uncle. ''
'' You're a good kid; a weird kid, but a good one nonetheless. Your heart is at the right place and all that.'' He mumbled in a strangled voice.
Lyna smiled: he was always trying to show a hard façade and now it was crumbling on itself.

*Ari'dan POV*
'' You are still working? ''
He merely grunted to answer Al'tan and continued to take notes from an anatomic book.
'' It is very late: young males needs a lot of sleep.'' He gently scolded the boy as he sat beside him at the library's table.
'' I couldn't sleep, so at least being here is useful.''
The Elder shook his head and remained silent. Ari asked, never taking his eyes of his work: '' And you? Why are you still up? ''
'' I came here to get a book and was not even surprised to see you here. '' The old yautja explained.
There was a pause before he spoke again: '' You are disappointed Lyna didn't come back with you? Don't you? ''
'' I wanted to be the one to bring her home; not Dena'ee.'' He admitted in a soft voice.
'' So?''
'' Well, now Dena'ee is gonna get her in a… in his way. I was astonished he still haven't had her yet. It's just making him angrier that Lyna evades him. However, at some point he will trap her and she won't be happy; I worry, that's all. ''
Al'tan nodded and said in a light tone: '' I do a lot of political travels on Earth… By pure hazard, I could happen to be on the same ship as your brother, next time he goes on the planet…''
Ari'dan raised his head: ''You would do that? ''
'' Ho I wouldn't do anything: I would just be, by luck, on the Arbitrators ship you know… And maybe I could give you news of what's happening there? ''
The student grinned: '' Of course… by hazard… And check on Lyna if she gets caught? ''
The Elder shrugged: '' If she's aboard the ship we might cross path or I might pay a visit to a certain Elite, who knows? ''
The younger male nodded, silently thanking Al'tan.

*2 weeks later, Lyna POV*
''…A hoodie, sunglasses and a cap and boom! You are unrecognizable! Just like the super stars! '' Exclaimed Amy.
Lyna gave herself a once over in the mirror: she looked ridiculous.
The thief brought her hands together: '' I am a master of deception. '' she breathed with glee.
''You are lucky it's getting colder because I wouldn't have gotten out like this.'' The young woman grumbled.
'' You wouldn't have gotten out at all without my help. And it's only the beginning of September; it's not cold yet.''
The black haired girl shrugged: '' Let's get out of here.''
And this was the only way she could go outside safely now. Christopher had placed some rules for her.
During the day, she could only go outside dressed like this.
She had to be accompanied at all time.
She could not go at the same place two days in a row.
The girl had to be wearing a weapon.
Paranoid enough? Yes.
The girl was annoyed and was considering to return at her grandparents' house. However, she would need a ride to travel there: taking any other kind of transport would be too risky.
The teenager was currently reading a book Amy had lent her; it wasn't a recent book, it had been written in 2007. Over 30 years ago… But she liked the story and was even more thrilled when she learned it was a series. It was called 'The Name of the Wind'.
The young woman would make sure to read them all. On Yautja Prime, they weren't much into adventure and fantastic books… The books there, related stories of great hunters, arbitrators or any other heroes. There was also knowledge books about just anything.
Weapons, agriculture, religion, hunts, fighting, healing…
But nothing fantastic or fictive.
Suddenly, Amy barged in completely panicked: '' Lyna! It's Leonard, Christopher and four others! '' She shouted as she tried to take her breath back.
The girl rose to her feet: '' What happened? ''
'' We were trying to steal something from Them and sabotage their technologies, but three aliens surprised us! Your uncle sent me here! I already warned the others! ''
Afraid for her friends and her uncle, Lyna ran to her with the other girl on her heels and began to remove her clothing.
'' It's not the time to get a change of clothes Lyna! '' Amy yelled.
'' Help me put on my armor.'' She said in a hard voice.
The younger teen appeared to understand what she was doing and rapidly gathered the thick leather pieces and weapons.
Once she was wearing all her protection, the young woman put her combistick in her back, her dagger on one side and her throwing disk on the other.
Finally, she attached her wrist blades one her right forearm.
'' Let's go! ''

One of the men parked the jeep they were in not far from where the attacked group were supposed to be.
Immediately, Lyna and her friend got down and sprinted there, stopping behind a building corner.
Two of the men were already down, probably dead or dying in a pool of their own blood. Christopher was clutching his side, who was bleeding profusely, but fighting nonetheless; Leonard was doing his best to avoid blades.
The two other men were doing there best.
Amy whimpered: '' They will take them and kill them! ''
Lyna turned to her and the three men behind: '' No they won't. Listen: We go there, we retrieve them and we run to the car! It's that clear? ''
The group nodded and Lyna rushed toward the battling party.
Just as one of the yautjas were about to hit the scientist, the teenager shoulder bumped him, making the humanoid stumbled back.
Leonard looked at her: '' Lyna!? ''
'' Go go! Run to back to the jeep! '' She shouted as she blocked a spear.
Lyna went to grab Christopher under his shoulder to haul him with them. They all began to run, but the yautjas wouldn't let them go that easily.
The black haired girl looked back: they would get them, they would not make it to the car.
'' Amy! Take my uncle and go! ''
The teen replaced her: '' What about you? ''
'' I'll try to stop them. ''
She knew she couldn't even beat one Arbitrator, let alone three. But it was worth it.
'' I won't let you do—'' started her uncle.
'' I don't care what you say! GO! '' She said as she pushed them toward the running group.
Lyna breathed deeply and turned to face the yautjas. Knowing what she was trying to do, what seemed to be their chief sent one of the trio after the fleeing band.
She took her throwing disk and did as if she was going to send it toward her opponents in front of her, but at the last moment, she turned on herself and threw it at the third one, who was running after the rebels.
Not expecting it, her weapon got him in the thigh, efficiently stopping him from going after her friends. He fell on one knee and she heard him curse.
One of the arbitrator roared and went to charge her, but the chief blocked his way and faced her:
'' …Agile with weapons, hard headed, foolish…you must be Elite Arbitrator Dena'ee's female.'' He snickered.
His colleague looked at him then at her: '' indeed.''
The chief spoke again: '' Go after the rebels; I will take care of the female.''
With her wounded uncle, the group probably wasn't at the car yet. As soon as the yautja ran toward their direction, Lyna put herself in his way, pulling out her spear.
'' You will not go after them.'' She growled.
Annoyed, the yautja tried to move her out of his way with his combistick; she blocked the attack and replied.
The fight was engaged.
After a minute or two, the chief joined in; she was absolutely overtaken. The girl was barely avoiding their spears and their hits, barely attacking.
The chief kicked her in the side; the girl fell and rolled a few times and quickly put herself back on her feet, gasping.
'' The Elite did a good job training you, I must say. Now, we all know your friends escaped: follow us. '' he said.
The young woman snarled and adopted a defensive position. She frowned when she saw him did a little nod with his chin.
A second later, something hit her skull hard; the teenager had totally forgotten about the third yautja.
The girl stumbled and immediately fainted.

*Dena'ee POV*
He had been on Earth for a week, trying to find his mate. He had warned Uria and his superiors he was there for two months: this time he would come back home with his female.
A week and he had no idea where she was: no one had seen her, no one had heard of her lately.
Lost in thoughts, He scratched the top of his desk with his claws: Pup was clever. She was probably suspicious and careful now. She understood she couldn't just go outside anymore.
Someone banged loudly on the door: '' Elite Arbitrator? ''
'' Yes?'' he grunted from where he sat.
The yautja came in: '' I have an important message for you. ''
The black yautja raised a hand impatiently, indicating him to go ahead.
'' Arbitrator Malkor has found your mate.''
Dena'ee rose abruptly, going toward the door: '' Where is she!? ''
'' Here, in the ship's infirmary.''
Without losing a second, the tall male ran there and quickly, swiped his magnetic card in the door and barged in.
'' Where is my mate?'' he growled loudly.
A middle aged healer appeared at his left: '' Elite Arbitrator, the female is resting, you may follow me.''
Over three months he haven't seen her, touched her, smelled her…
The healer halted and pulled a curtain; revealing Lyna. Pup was unconscious; she had bruises and there was a patch above her right brow. Immediately, he went to her side and cradled her small body to his and began to rock her lightly.
'' She is alright: a few bruises here and there. However, she was knocked out and when she fell the female hit her forehead on the concrete. Nothing serious or to worry about. ''
Letting out a sigh of relief, Dena'ee rubbed his mandibles against her face and neck. He stopped when he smelled other humans on her. The yautja started to draw her scent in, concentring and was relieved to see she hadn't mated with anyone.
Pheromones and sweat from sexual activities had a special smell; one she wasn't wearing. Not a single trace of it.
He gathered her in his arms: '' What have you done this time…You could not just follow them? See where it led you… Foolish Pup. ''
The Elite pulled her tightly against his chest and purred: '' I am so angry at you right now… But I was so worry… Why have you thinned like this? Why are you paler? ''
The male gently caressed her face: '' Don't you ever do something like that again; it would kill me. '' he whispered in her hair.
The healer, who was respectfully standing beside them talked: '' You may take her with you, but if she is dizzy or if she vomits, you immediately bring her back here. ''
Dena'ee nodded and rose with his mate in in arms.
