Chapter 6: Breaking News
Vita's P-O-V
Dinner at Jefferson's house went as expected. His mom doted on me and asked me about my plans for college. His dad was polite but his apprehensive attitude towards me was undeniable. Beth who is eight and Carmen who is ten were more than glad to see me. We ate our italian themed dinner peacefully until Carl's, Jeff's father, phone went off. Everyone slowed their eating as he read a text message on his phone. Without a word he abruptly stood from the table and ran into the living room, hastily turning on the tv. Cara, Jeff's mom, stood more slowly and after a moment we all followed. Carl had a news channel on and what showed on the screen made my jaw drop. BREAKING NEWS flashed at the bottom of the screen and the image of a very large Yautja filled the screen. His mask was on of course as his native tongue was being translated as he spoke.
"Humans...of Earth. I am one of the many Ambassadors of my species. I am here today...to tell you all of the agreement your government leaders have made with us. Before humanoids ever roamed this planet, my Yautja ancestors have used this planet as a hunting ground every hundred years as a part of a coming of age ceremony to the males and females of my culture. But with the advances in your technology, my kind have been captured on your cellular devices and cameras too many times to ignore. To solve this issue, your government has come to an agreement with me and my kind. We are exposing ourselves to you all. Letting you know what other life is like beyond your planet. There is much life out of your galaxy. More than you could possibly understand. But what you must understand humans is that you are no longer at the top of your food chain. Yautja's are no easily killed, we are a tough and primitive society that has hunted hundreds of alien species. We hunt for sport.
But there is another issue that has given us reason to expose ourselves. The female of our race has become increasingly rare. In the last five years...only nine out of the thousands were born female. As a superior and one of the eldest intelligent lifeforms in all the galaxy, my race refuses to die out. Through rare circumstances in the past, it has been found that human DNA is very compatible to ours and that a pup with the DNA of a human and Yautja can still have the genetic advantages of the Yautja. Your government leaders have given us free reign to choose our our given mates to salvage the newest generation of Yautja's. My race is very respectable to women. Should a woman who is pursued say she does not wish to be with one of us, her wish will be granted. No woman will be forced to come with us, but those who do will get to learn our culture, see other life, and learn what is means to live a life of true pride.
Our existence has not been unknown. When the first civilizations came to be, we helped your ancestors build their temples and structured their ways. Over time, we became a myth, a story parents told their kids to stop them from being bad or out at night. "
Silence eloped the room and the station went to commercial. Jefferson's father, Carl, was the first to speak,
"...What the actual fuck?! This isn't real! It can't be! This must be some sort of hoax!"
Jeff looked green and kept glancing between me and his sisters. Cara was trying to comprehend what she had seen and heard. I could see the gears working in her brain. Carl now had his phone in his hand and was calling the local news station and the police, he was sure it was a hoax. I on the other hand was trying not to show that I had any knowledge of the Yautja. Making my way to Jefferson, I spoke gently in his ear,
"I have to go home. I'll call you as soon as I get in."
But before I was able to pull away, he swiftly grabbed my wrist and looked into my eyes,
"...you wouldn't…..would you?"
Slowly I pull his hand from my wrist and shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know what I would do any better than your sisters. The opportunity to explore more than our galaxy and learn new cultures is interesting but the price that comes for it is…..difficult. Besides, I am still too young to be thinking about having kids so soon or anything like that. Don't worry about me. I can handle myself Jefferson."
I got out of his house then without anymore interception. Once I was out of view of the house, I burst into a sprint all the way to mine. The entire house looked dark with no lights illuminating out of the windows. I knew better though. The shields at our windows were up, the house is on lockdown. When I got to the door I used my key and personal code to get in. The sight I saw made me freeze for a moment before closing the door securely behind me….
