A/N: Any character or theme or name or creature and anything else from the movie I DO NOT OWN. The plot for this story I do own, as well as Xenayakata and the species Xenyautan. These two are my creatations and mine alone so NO TOUCHIE! If anyone rips off my character or species I will send the real Xenayakata after them and she gets cranky when people rip her off.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Thanks to all reveiwers but especially Kae-she Katsumi who was here from the begining.

Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the story ;P

Chapter 4: No More Lonely

She is amazing.

She is incredible.

She is inconceivable.

She is completely destructive to male ego.

Xenayakata has everything I look for in female except obedience.

Her scent driving me crazy when I get close but I want get close to her, in many, many ways.

But mission come first.

But it hard to remember when her tail only arm reach away and want to pounce on her and…but mission come first.

Wish first part was over. Then could get to fun part- if Xenayakata accepts.

Understand now why Mother not want me to chose name till mission successful; if mission not successful, no need for name; no Predalian to name. Not live anymore if not successful. Can't live if not successful.

Keep going. I think to her. Almost there.

We arrived now.

For many days been making safe place for Xenayakata to come to. Very proud of it. Walls covered in resin make look like home, tunnels everywhere make look like home. Xenayakata here make look like home.

Very lonely without Mother and Family. Xenayakata takes lonely away. Xenayakata makes happy.

She is special, like me.

Both choose own names. Both different. Both firsts. Both lonely away from Mother and Family. I feel her lonely. It very strong. I want make her lonely go away.

She is looking around safe place.

I feel she like what sees. Her lonely lessens. Not gone, but smaller.

She shifts marine to ground and turn to me.

Her scent still making me crazy. But must wait. Mission come first.

I hope mission successful.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

He is looking at me strangely as I turn to him. I can feel that a great amount of effort is being used as he wages a war within himself.

But why is he waring with himself?

This male is confusing me to no ends. He is very protective of me, that I know, but he will snap at me if I show my independence. He likes to protect me, I am thinking. He likes to be in charge.

To bad for him.

I like to be in charge as well. I do not yield to anyone but Mother.

We must put marine on wall. He thinks to me, interrupting my thoughts.

How?

With resin. Holds better than any human metal things.

He moves to do just that but I stop him. He looks at me curiously.

I want to do this. I have never done this before and I want to learn. If I am to be a Xeno I must learn the things that a Xeno does.

Fine. He thinks to me. He is still looking at me strangely but I feel his respect for me.

I pick up the marine in my hands, rising onto my hind legs. I find it is actually easier to hold him this way; he does not seem so heavy anymore. He does not seen so large any more either.

I find this odd but I continue to think about what I am to do. I turn to the male.

How do I make resin?

Make like going to roar, but deep in back of throat. Then spit. He instructs.

I do as he tells me and I feel a lump of gooey stuff in the back of my throat. I hold the marine against the wall and spit.

The resin flings across his waist and the wall, sticking him to it.

I let go and the marine's top half slumps but he stays stuck to the wall. I am very pleased to have made such strong resin on my first try.

I do the same thing again for his wrists, arms, legs and ankles. For good measure I spit resin across his neck to hold his head up.

I turn back to the male.

Did I do a good job? I think to him.

Very. He thinks back. Very good job.

What do we do now? You said that we needed the marine to help me grow. How?

You Xeno, human and Predator but mostly Xeno, right? He thinks to me.

Right. I affirm.

For Xenos and Predators to mature, need be blooded. Predators can be anything. Xenos need chest-burstable. Only humans available.

We have to kill him? I ask, horrified.

You kill. I already matured. You born like Us, must mature like Us. Must head bite.

But I don't want to kill humans! Mother does not like Us to kill humans!

But must. Only way to mature. Besides, this human old, he hurts, is lonely, want take own life. That why I chose him. That why tunnels to safe place pass him. No one miss him. I checked.

I understand now that this has all been thought out very thoroughly; the human chosen for my blooding, the safe place that had obviously been lovingly made, the unique male, a first of his kind, chosen to protect and watch over me.

I feel sorry for the humans. I admit. They have nothing like Mother or Family to keep them company even when they are alone. They seem only to be fodder for others, or hosts for Us. I almost wish I didn't exist, if only it meant I did not have to do this.

I almost screech in my sadness for these soft creatures that our creator seems to have intended us to haunt and hunt endlessly.

The male comes closer to me.

He raises his hand and places it on my neck. He gently kneads the taunt muscles there as he slowly runs the tip of his tail along my spine.

It feels nice and I start to calm down as he hisses softly to me.

Must mature like this so next Xenos no have to. Have heard this marine talk to self; "Wish Xenos just kill me. Nothing else look forward to." We do him favour. This his wish. I prove to you. I wake him up. He say 'kill me'. I show you.

The male moves away from me and walks over to the marine. He touches a spot on the marine's neck and suddenly the marine is awake.

The marine looks around him but I feel no fear from him.

His eyes pass over the male but when they reach me he stops.

"You aren't mature yet, are you girl?" He says quietly. "That's why I'm here. You need to be blooded."

I am shocked that a human is talking so calmly to what he believes is a regular Xenomorph.

I decide to try and think to him like I think to Tina and Mike.

Why are you not afraid? I think to him.

"Is that you? That voice in my head, is that you girl?"

Yes.

"I thought so. I always knew you Xenos could understand us. You're a lot more intelligent than those damned scientists think. I always hear you all talking. I try to talk too, but you never hear me. I haven't got the right stuff to talk with my thoughts- always wanted to though- but I can only to hear you."

You hear Xenos? I ask.

"All the time. I know about you, too. You may need to be blooded but your children wont have to, they wont need hosts or have any need for humans at all; you'll be free of us forever. I'm glad for you all, really I am. I think you'll be so much more on your own than you ever could be being dependant on another species to live. Who knows, maybe one day you'll have evolved enough to do something about the mess we humans have made of everything."

I am amazed by this human. He feels for my kind much more than he feels for his own and wishes us well although he is a marine.

Do not you kill Xenos? How can you wish Us well when every day you destroy my kind? I ask.

"I've never killed a Xeno and I've never wanted to." The marine answers me. "Hell, I've never even seen a Xeno close up 'till now; I've never had the chance. I only got here five months ago and only because I got drafted. My wife had just been killed in a shoot out –she was eight months pregnant with my daughter- I didn't care about anything anymore. They were my whole world and they'd been snatched away; there was no way in Hell I was going to do that to someone else, even a Xeno, especially after I found out I could hear you and listened to how your lives really are. I don't even load my gun. I've always hoped that if the Xenos got in, one of them would kill me before one of the others got to it. Hell, I'd let them in if it meant all this pain would just end!"

As he falls silent and hangs his head, I see wetness on his cheeks. He is crying.

I feel for this marine. I know about the human 'wives' and I know that human males love them very much. To have lost his wife and an unborn daughter, he must feel such pain that it is unimaginable to me who has not experienced a loss like this.

I feel I must do something for him, something so that he does not feel so alone inside as he does.

"Will you do it now?" The marine says to me as I approach him.

I stop only inches from him. "I'm offering myself to you. Kill me. I just want it to end. I want you to kill me, to mature, to teach all the humans who've done you wrong, unjustly, a lesson.

"The Xenomorphs are purer than any human ever was, and most of all they can feel more than any human has. They deserve to be free to do anything they want. At least if I go this way I'll have been good for something; I couldn't help my wife -or my daughter- as they died, bleeding to death because of some cold, unfeeling bastard who shot her, but maybe I can help you, maybe I can help you Xenos in this, make a difference. That'sworth dying for."

As I look at him, his eyes bright with tears, I know what I can do for him.

What is your name? I ask him.

"What? Oh, it's Stormer, Brenton Stormer." He answers, puzzled.

I place my hands on either side of his face, put my forehead to his and I think to him, gently;

Be proud of what you are doing, who you are, who you have been. Because of what you are doing, I will show you something special.

I seek Mother with my mind. I find her and quickly explain about the marine and what I want to do.

She approves and I seek the rest of my family.

Brenton Stormer, you, who has chosen to give your life so that We may build a better one for our selves, know that your name will be sacred amongst our kind, long after humans have forgotten you even existed and We show our gratitude.

And then I open into his mind the link I have to my family.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

It is incredible, magical and mind blowing.

I can see the Hive. I can see Mother, the Empress. She sends to me her feelings of gratitude and affection and I am now in the tunnels. I see the Xenomorphs as they carry out their individual tasks throughout the Hive. My vision moves from one to another as the Xenos show me more and more of their home, each expressing their gratitude and thanking me for my sacrifice.

I hear as a Xeno.

I feel as a Xeno.

I see as a Xeno.

I am a Xeno.

Their feelings of love and gratitude envelope me, overwhelm me. I can feel them all, all around me, sending to me their feelings, thanking me.

I can feel everything. I can feel all. No more sorrow lurks in corners of my heart. I realise now that this has been my purpose; to help the Xenomorphs accomplish their freedom as they have now helped me to accomplish mine.

I am happy.

Truly happy.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

The marine lies slumped in his cocoon of resin; he knows no more.

I am glad to know that he was happy when I took him from this life that only gave him pain.

He died happy, not even knowing that he had gone this world.

I knew all his feelings as he died; I now hold all his memories too. They are mine now. I don't know why his memories are mine now, but they are and that's all that matters.

He heard Xenos and longed to be able to talk to us. He didn't belong in the world of destruction the humans have built around them. He pitied his own race and wished for all the things that Xenos have in their lives; he was truly a Xenomorph born into, and trapped, in a human body.

I turn to the male.

It is done now. I think to him.

But not finished. He thinks back.

What?

I feel the male is hesitating.

Being blooded not all must accomplish to mature. He explains. Is enough for Predator and normal Xenos, but you special; you be Queen someday.

Queen? But Mother is the Queen, the Empress. I can't be the Queen if She is- She has power over me. I am shocked that this male would suggest such a thing.

But must be Queen. He insists. Mother children need be chest-bursters; yours not. I last chest-burster. No more will Mother make. You must make. Must make no chest-bursting Xenos; Xenos born like human.

The male is close to me. He is breathing hard.

What he says makes sense. It is what I have been born for. But I still do not know how this will happen.

How does this happen? I do not know how. How do I mature to make this happen? I ask.

He seems excited. He is closer now, we are almost touching.

Must mate, Xenayakata. For Queen to mature she mates and make first Xenos of her season. Must choose a mate, Xenayakata.

Now I understand his strange behaviour, his excitement.

He wishes to be my mate.

And I want him to be.

I like this male. He is sometimes annoying but in a good way. He is cleaver, he has saved me and helped me and is strong. But he is also like me. A first and only. And Mother made him for me; I am sure of it. I am happy.

You want to be my mate? I am asking playfully. I do not know what will happen, Tina has not told me of this part of my life yet, but I feel safe with this male and I trust him.

He reaches out one hand and touches my neck.

I very much want to be your mate. He hisses softly to me.

I think about this for a moment.

You may be my mate but only if you can catch me. I tell him.

He retracts his hand and tenses. Then he looks at me strangely.

Aren't going to run? He asks. You said must catch you; can't catch if you no run.

I'm not running anywhere. I tell him cheekily.

I feel he understands now. He is looking at me again.

Serious?

Very.

In that case…

He leaps at me suddenly and pins me to the floor.

Very cheeky Xenayakata. He hisses gently. Was ready to chase and everything. Would been fun. But show you more fun…

His tail curves around his side and he used its tip to lightly trace the joins of my exoskeleton at the base of my skull.

Very nice. I think to him, my soft hiss almost a pur.

Only beginning.

He stops tracing all of a sudden. He gets up, urging me to as well.

What's wrong? I ask. I feel he is agitated about something.

Sorry. He thinks to me, his feelings urgent. But want in you now. Fast first, slow later. Your scent too strong to wait. Been fighting since first met. Can't fight anymore. Need you now.

I let him have his way for now. It's the first time and I don't know what needs to be done. But when I learn, I will be in control.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Her smell overpowering now.

She excited as I am. She ready for a mate.

She ready for me.

She only for me.

She chosen me.

She my Queen only.

No other male have her.

Only me.

She listens to my instructions. She not know what to do. Crazy with needing her. Will be fast first but gentle. Lots time for slow later. Lots time for games and chasing and hunting. But need her now. She need me now.

Know only one thing now; feelings.

No more lonely.
