Note: This I'de say is one of my more "stranger" predator stories. Nobody really knows a predator's full life span. Though a true pred fan knows that they do live for a long time and that they age differently then us humans. ;-) And as all my other predator stories I sadly do not own the predators. It is also somewhat like a very long introduction to the family members and their personalities. There is some language but nothing heavy. Read and Review. Enjoy . . .

A Common Family Tale
Chapter one

Sarah stumbled through the door dropping her bags onto the floor. "Home," She said with a yawn, "finally." Everything in the house was larger then what humans were use too living with. Being her large family were giant aliens, the yautja. From what her Dad told her that is.

The yautja were gigantic humanoid aliens. Yellow, white or else green skin with crab like faces and red or else yellow eyes. Their mouths consisted of two sets of mandibles. A small pair of fanged mandibles laid horizontally across their mouth. The second pair was larger but vertically laid underneath the first pair. Inside the mouth was rows of smaller teeth. Their hair was thick wire like strands of hair. Black talons extended from their finger's and toe's where fingernail's and toenail's should be on a human.

Now for Sarah. A human was like a midget compared to her, not just from height but also from her muscular body too, the muscle though was genetic, she hardly worked out and if she did, she would look like her Mom. Just one big muscle bound Momma. Mom and Dad said she was very beautiful and elegant looking. She though thought of herself as a deformed human that didn't look anywhere near elegant, more like rugged and rough, just a fucked up human. The thought didn't bother her, it did when she was younger but she got use to it.

She scuffled her way to the couch seeing a heated body laying on it. Not that she really needed much light in order to see but wasn't as bad as a human needed light to see. Without light a human was pretty much blind. To a human the only light they would be able to see by was a few rays of moonlight shining through the living room windows and the kitchen windows.

Her Mom was born and raised with humans but her Dad was raised on her species home planet. He had told the whole family many times of what their kind was like but she always shrugged it off her shoulders. To her, they were just funny and interesting stories to listen to when there was nothing better to do. The one he told the most was how he got to this point.

Seventy years ago the ship he was on crashed on another planet. All the crew died except for him. There was a town full of humans nearby but he didn't bother to meet with them. Something like the code of honor wouldn't allow such acts or something. He waited and waited for a rescue vessel but none came. Some years past then he ran into Mom. Literally. So he stuck around her since it had been years since he'd seen a familiar face. Eventually he gave up on the rescue vessel then started to like Mom. More time passed then they moved here, made a life together and it had been that way 55 years or so.

She looked down at the body then shoved the shoulder with her knee. "Come on Adam. The deal was I slept on this side." There was no response, growling loudly as she crossed her arms. Adam was the oldest sibling of the bunch and she was only four years behind him but she swore he acted like a kid sometimes.

"Adam," She whined, "wake up." There was the flip of a switch then the room was filled with light.

Sarah turned her head to the person who flipped the switch. Not bothering to see her big brother laying on the couch in the light. Her arms dropped to her side's as her eye's were prefixed with astonishment and curiosity.

There, standing beside the kitchen counter just past the hallway was Adam in a pair of cut off sweat pants that stopped at his knees. Adam was thinner, shorter and less muscled then his Mom and little sister Sarah but was still big enough to have any human take a double look at him. Like what was said to Sarah and the rest of the siblings. Mom said they were all beautiful, but that was just a Mother's love. Dad though said he looked liked any average guy for their race. Except near to all the guys his age were thicker and more muscled but still his same height. "What are you doing he asked?"

She looked at him then at the person whom she thought was her brother. An older man of her species was laying on the couch asleep. She thought he was her brother cause he was laying on his front side, now he was laying on his back. She also thought he was asleep too, it sounded like he was but couldn't tell from a strange mask covering his face. He was well built, very muscular and powerful looking. She smiled on the inside at the site of him, he looked damn fine and wasn't ashamed of thinking it. She was old enough to date and a legalized adult now. A young one though. What made her smile even more was the fact that he was wearing almost nothing. Only thing he had on was a harness strap across his chest and back. A leather loin cloth (from what it looked liked) and a kilt type dressing attached to both sides of his hip's.

There was movement on the other part of the couch. Turning her head at the sound and saw another older guy that was also well muscled and wearing the exact same thing as the other guy. Except no kilt. There are two hot guys sleeping in my house and they both are almost naked. Her smile got even bigger. There must be a god up there. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. . . .
