Chapter XV

If she ended up injured because of that Clan, then they hope that she didn't end up dead because of the injuries, because if she did then he would wage a war with his whole clan and allies as back up.

Lex observed the two Yautja that stood before her for a moment before sighing, even if she wasn't going to run from them it didn't mean that she liked the fact that she would have to stay with them to make this situation end.

"Well…" She trailed off as she looked at them. "This wasn't how I wanted this little trip to end." She muttered after a while.

Range just observed the female Ooman, he really should get a universal translator integrated into his equipment. #Scar, why isn't she disappearing off to Paya knows where?# he asked his friend.

#I have no idea.# Scar replied as he observed the dark skinned female. Even if he was a bit oblivious he knew that he would have one Cetanu of a challenge to make this female his mate. #Maybe she decided that she wanted this Chiva to end?#

#Probably.# Range hummed before he took a slow step towards the female Ooman. #At least she isn't running anymore.# Range said when the Ooman hadn't moved away from him when he had taken the step.

#That's a relief.# Scar said as he leaned against the wall.

Lex watched the two males in front of her, she could tell that the one that had just leaned against the wall was attracted to her, yet the one that had stepped towards her had no feeling to her except in a sibling way, she knew that now that she wasn't running the feelings would get stronger, from both of them.

She sighed before she froze and looked into the future, she frowned at what she saw. It seemed that they would have to finish this little hunt soon or there would be a war between two clans, the one that the two in front of her were apart of and another one that had ties to her mother. Her father perhaps?

Then if it was her father then why hadn't he come earlier to take her with him? Why now? When she had her life ordered, well now it looked like all of her hard work was about to be shot to hell especially since there were several Yautja that were interested in her.

"We need to end this soon or the consequences will be dire." Lex said looking at the one that could translate.

Scar watched as the female froze and frowned, her eyes were cloudy like she was observing something in the distant future. When her eyes cleared and she spoke he just stared at her, if she could indeed see the future then she would be a very good addition to the clan, he didn't want her for her abilities, he wanted her for her fighting prowess and her beauty. Not only that but her voice had to be made by Paya himself!

Range glanced at his friend and saw the way that he was looking at the Ooman and groaned; couldn't he choose someone that wasn't going to have every unmated male in the clan after her? It seemed that his friend always choose the hard path, especially when it came to mating.

UUUU

Adrinle watched the footage that they had gotten access to from the other clan of the Chiva that was currently in progress. His clan was currently gathered in the mess hall watching the Chiva from the beginning.

He glanced around and could tell that the others were surprised at the skill that his half Ooman daughter displayed. He looked around and saw that there were some male's that were interested in her; he had a feeling that there were some in the other clan that were also interested in his daughter.

He snorted, as if he would let any male unworthy of his daughter near her. That would only happen when he was sentenced to be with Cetanu. He turned back to the screen and watched as his daughter tried her best at protecting her comrades whilst holding back her capabilities.

UUUU

Lex growled as she ran next to the Yautja, there was no way that her Father would not ground her when he saw this, as in Yautja terms she was still underage, even if she could beat most of the Yautja Elders with one hand tied behind her back.

Next time I'm telling them to fuck off. She thought venomously. A moment later her eyes glazed over as a vision came to her, what she saw made her eyes widen and she almost skidded to a stop, it was only her training that kept her running.

"Why is it that every time something looks simple it turns around and becomes a whole lot more complicated?" Lex asked rhetorically out loud.

Range glanced at Scar asking for the translation, then he looked at the Ooman female with a raid eye ridge.

#She seems to be a bit pessimistic.# Range commented.

#She probably has a right to be.#Scar retorted and kept on running.

Around an hour later they arrived at the chamber that housed the eggs that the Queen had produced, as Lex looked around she saw that the only clear paths was the one that went around the edge of the room, she started to carefully circle the room looking at both the eggs and at the wall.

She froze when she saw Sebastien stuck to the wall, she stared at him wide eyed for a moment; here was one of the few worthy males trapped, whose destiny was to die in this Trial.

At that moment she made a rash decision, all the while knowing that it was hopeless. He was a friend and a worthy mate, as her instincts told her anyway. She tried her hardest to release him from his prison and from his fate, but she was pushed away by one of the Yautja.

She looked at him for a moment before she looked back at the only male that her instincts had deemed worthy, she was startled out of her thoughts by the sound of a plasma caster powering up, she turned rapidly and saw that it was the one that had pushed her out of the way.

Range watched as Scar pushed the female Ooman away from her doomed kin, a moment later Scar took aim with his Sivk'va-tai, but the female Ooman stopped him. She looked like what she was about to do would pain her.

"Sebastien you are the only male that has proven to be worthy of my attention, if you hadn't been an unwilling incubator well that we will never know." She said before she took a deep breath and raised the gun that she had found lying on the floor, a moment later she fired.

She stayed in the firing position for a moment longer staring at Sebastien's corpse, he had given her a look of understanding, that look had been the only thing that had allowed her to pull the trigger but it wasn't enough to make her walk away immediately.

Scar watched as the female Ooman shot her comrade, before she looked as if nothing fazed her and now this just showed others that she did have emotions but they were buried beneath a cold exterior. Range looked between Scar and the female Ooman knowing that if they mated they would have to have a talk about this moment and the feelings that she used to have for the male of her kind that she had just killed to protect the other members of her race.

Lex, when she came back to herself, dropped the gun, turned and walked away. She couldn't deal with her emotions yet, she would deal with them when she was alone with no one around; at that moment she used every trick that she had learned about controlling her emotion during the many times that she had been imprisoned in the Cyrel Institute.

After a moment of gathering her emotions, she turned around and truly took in the room, it was a circular room that used to be filled with stone slabs that obviously used to be used for ritual sacrifices and it was filled nearly to the brim with eggs.

"They are born via eggs?" Lex asked as she looked at the room with an eyebrow raised. "No wonder they are so short tempered, the first thing they see isn't their mother it's a circular stone room and their brother's or sister's."

Range and Scar just stared at the female Ooman as she spoke, Scar translating what she had said.

#You know she could be right, that would make me short tempered.# Range commented.

Scar hummed in agreement as he looked at the female Ooman, he really wished that he knew her name it would be a lot easier that way, but he was sure that whatever her name was it would fit her.

#And I've lost him.# Range grumbled as he looked at his brother in all but blood. #Let's hope that no one else is interested in her, because if there is there will be one Paya of a bloodbath.# Range continued in a near whisper, unwilling for his kin to hear him.

Scar walked up to the female and managed to get her attention, he pointed at his wrist computer then at the eggs and made a motion with his hands signalling an explosion. Lex just glanced at what the Yautja had pointed at and nodded in understanding.

She moved to stand beside the taller Yautja and waited for the other to throw the bomb, she readied herself for the sprint of a life time. Moments later the shorter Yautja threw the bomb making all off them run, she followed her instincts not willing to allow the two extra-terrestrials the chance to get them hopelessly lost, as she ran she gave her tiny robots the order to return to her once she was out of the pyramid.

Lex lead the run for freedom, taking turns at full speed at times she skidded around the corner not wanting to slow down, once she saw the entrance to the pyramid she speed up, a second later the three of them were out of the pyramid; they then ran to the tunnel where the sled was.

Once Lex had reached the sled she sighed in relief before she bent down to see the control panel better, but when she touched the panel she felt that it was covered in slim which the feeling made her cringe.

"Great, just great." Lex muttered as she turned around and withdrew the cylindrical weapon that she had made, after she reviewed the future, there was this one Kiande Amedha that needed to be destroyed before it caused to much trouble.

Scar and Range turned and saw the amount of Kiande Amedha that were spread out in front of the pyramid, the numbers made them stare in disbelief, both had never thought that they would have to face such numbers on their blooding Chiva.

#This isn't going to end well.# Range said as he prepared himself for the fight. Scar just nodded his head, he agreed with his friend.

Both were surprised when the female Ooman that had helped them growled in a challenging manner at the Kiande Amedha as she crouched, ready to lunge at them in a moment's notice.

Lex ignored the two surprised Yautja as she growled and crouched, they had no idea that she was only challenging one of the Kiande Amedha, but she wasn't going to correct them after all, one was infatuated with her and the other was hopefully going to end up being her brother in all but blood.

Well, Lex thought. That is if my dad let's me out of his sight after he sees the move I'll pull fighting the Queen.
