Rissss: a full blooded Xenomorph

Hi' shaa: Half Xenomorph. One of the hive children--A favorite of the Queen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night was dark and very hot. A heat wave had hit the land, making the place very hot and humid.

Rissss gazed at the ship from her hiding place in the brush. It was a strange thing. Not like the other ships that brought food and the silly human things that shot at her with their loud sticks of plastic and metal. It smelled different too. No human smell. Dead human smell yes, but no live human.

Human-looking things walked around. But they did not smell human. They didn't smell like anything familiar. Not a food smell. They did have a meat smell. Maybe the meat was good? Maybe she should go and hunt the human looking things? Maybe taste and see if they are good to eat?

" No." A voice said inside her head. " It isn't time to eat yet. Just watch."

Rissss looked at the creature beside her. Hi' shaa was a hive child. Hi' shaa looked like a human thing, had human smell. Had hive smell too. Had hive mind. Had human mind too. she was also very smart. Oh yes, very smart. She and the other human hive children brought much food. Found hosts for their Queen's children. They were very good to the hive. They knew how to trick the human things. Human things could not smell the hive blood in their veins.

Rissss didn't want to wait. She wanted to creep and stalk the new things with the strange smell. She would listen to Hi' shaa though. She'd listen because Hi' shaa was a hive child. Because the Queen adored the hive children halfbreeds. Their words were as if the Queen herself spoke.

"Don't let your mind race so much" Hi' shaa's voice said. "We will eat soon. Focus first. Find out what the new things are."

The New things were assembling outside. They carried long sticks. They made loud noises and showed off wrist knives to the sky. They were tall, much taller than human things. Much more meat. Their meat looked tougher than human meat too.Less fat, more muscle. Rissss felt thick saliva drip out her mouth and on the ground.

Hi' shaa glared at the human things, " Queen spoke."

Rissss listened intently, any words from the Queen were sacred, and must be listened to carefully. Her word was law.

Hi' shaa croutched low with a hiss. " Queen spoke with another Queen in the ship! The human things are called 'yautja.' They slay our people. They stole the other Queen from her hive, and force her to lay eggs so they can kill her children"

Rissss snapped her teeth in outrage. No! What beasts steal a Queen from her hive? Take her children for death games? She wanted to rend and tear at the yautja things! She wanted to bite and claw until their bodies were scraps, and devour the remains! They would not do the same to their hive! Rissss would kill and kill until no more stood!

"Patience!" Hi' shaa demanded. "Yes we will kill. We will take them all down. But their weapons are strong. We must take each down carefully. "

Rissss understood "carefully". Hi' shaa had told her it was human talk. It meant Not Risk Hive Safeness."

"Safety," Hi' shaa corrected her slipping carefully through the brush. Rissss followed her. If Hi' shaa moved she had a plan. It was time to hunt. It was time to rend and tear an evil yautja thing. Teach them about hive- wrath.

"Soon," the halfbreed promised. "We will get revenge soon."

Rissss asked insistantly for the meaning of "revenge".

"To bite back at those who hurt our people." Hi' shaa said after a moment of thought.

Rissss liked that word. Revenge was a very good word. Rissss would revenge until she couldn't revenge anymore.
