Chapter 2: Roe'han
The Predator known as Roe'han looked at his teacher. The older Predator nodded his head in the direction Alexus had went to. The look in his eyes told him that it was a protect her' look. Roe'han growled and stormed after the young half breed. He hated this the mission was to hunt Xenomorphs that had infested the planet. Reiku had dragged him here first to see his so called mate and low and behold they had to rescue them. Things turned out to be more complicated then they originally thought. Reiku had a daughter.
It didn't take long for the hulking Predator to find her. She was currently hacking away at a defenseless tree. She stopped after awhile and leaned her head against the tree. Wracking sobs escaped her. He was in his stealth cloak.
I know your there Predator. Come out.
Tears still flowed down her face. He disengaged the stealth cloak and walked up to her slowly. He reached for her arm but then stopped. She turned to look at him.
Weak and pathetic I guess, I am to you, she said in a defeated manner.
He shook his head violently.
You don't think so huh?
She flipped the black trench coat that she was wearing revealing a kitana strapped to her belt.
You better leave before I slice your heads off.
You think you can stop us? a male voice said.
Roe'han whipped around seeing a lot of men in black having their guns trained on him. He pushed Alexus behind him and the zing of metal coming out. His arm claws came out ready to attack the humans that dare to threaten his teacher's daughter. He didn't know why he was so protective of this human but for some reason she invoked that protective nature in him.
Roe'han let's get out of here. They're not worth the effort,' she told him telepathically. (it's a gift due to her Xenomorph genes.)
She threw her coat over her kitana hiding it again.Alexus turned and walked into the night. Roe'han turned to follow her but the human's opened fire. Roe'han leapt forward and scooped up Alexus and cloaked himself and leapt up to the nearest roof. The two of them kept going until they lost the human team hunting the Predators. When they stopped Roe'han set Alexus down gently and suddenly went to one knee. Alexus looked down at her shirt and iridescent green blood covered her shirt.
Roe'han? Are you all right?she asked.
I've been better.
She knelt before him as he sat down. He took out his medical kit and began to mix the stuff needed for the jelly substance to fix wounds. Roe'han let her dig out the piece of lead. Then he applied the substance. He let out a roar of pain. Then he injected himself with something else. Alexus just stared in wonder at Roe'han strength. Quickly he removed his mask. The gases escaped the tubes with a hiss. The mask was set aside. He looked up at her when the feeling of being watched wouldn't go away. Their eyes met. To Alexus's shock his eyes were a deep green instead of the normal amber.
His voice was soothing to her senses. Shaking the raging hormones she walked away. Her body was reacting strangely. Even if she was ready to mate there was no possible way with her acidic blood. Using her strength she leapt towards the next roof. She landed safely and curled up behind one of the air vents and began to cry. Suddenly the tears stopped. Danger was every where. It was Xenomorph danger. A low growl escaped her throat. Slowly rising to her feet made her look like a vicious predator. Her eyes and senses were focused. A black sleek lizard like body stood before her. It growl then stopped standing up strait.
What are you?'
Funny the Predator asked me the same question.'
You smell like us, but are not us.'
I am Project Zero. Xenomorph hybrid.'
You must see the Queen then.,' it hissed.
She easily followed the sleek blackness in the dark. It didn't take them long to come before the Queen Xenomorph. Alexus growled but bowed her head. A slow growl escaped her.
You are a strange one.'
I am a hybrid Xenomorph my Queen.'
She leaned her large head forward and sniffed Alexus. Alexus bowed deeper and reached into her trench coat and brought out her kitana and leapt forward to slice the head off of the queen. Anna had given her this strange kitana the second year of them being together. The blade sliced easily through her soft throat. The acid blood did nothing to her as it pored from the wound as the head slid off the body and landed heavily on the floor. The drones around her began to hiss at her.
Come on you son of a...
She was tackled from all sides. She fought hard until her kitana was knocked away from her hand. Then something began to rip the drones from her prone body. By this time Alexus was unconscious. Roe'han and other predators began to rip apart the remaining drones. Roe'han gently picked up Alexus. Pain was racing through his body as her blood ran from cuts all over her body.
Roe'han?'
Put me down I know my blood is hurting you.'
Not until your safe.
Another Predator came up with her kitana. Roe'han was getting weaker with second that her blood was mixing with his. She finally got some strength back she shoved Roe'han violently and rolling out of his arms. She landed in a Xenomorph pose on all fours. Roe'han stumbled and went to one knee.
She tackled him in a hug.
he groaned. As much as I like you on top of me I am hurt.
She backed away. The meaning of what he had said never dawned on her so much was her concern for the large student of her father's, but when realization dawned on her she turned a really dark shad of red. Shaking herself she walked away leaving Roe'han in the other Predators care. Finding a roof a long ways away she sat down and began to meditate. She hoped they could rid his body of her poison. That thought plagued her mind the most. There was no way to rid herself of the toxins in her system. That meant she can only be mate in name to anyone.
She knew who it was before he even arrived.
I'm sorry Roe'han.
For what?
I poisoned you.
Don't worry about it, I'll get over it.
She shot up and faced him anger written in every line of her body.
Don't you get it? I've fallen in love with you, but we can be nothing more than friends.
She turned away and ran away from him. Her body kept running, but her mind was in turmoil. Before she even realized it she was standing before Anthony's house. He was a friend from school. It was about 7 p.m. She hesitantly knocked on the door. Anthony himself answered the door.
Alexus? What are you doing here?
I need your advice.
Okay, come in. My parents aren't home now.
She followed the boy into his home. They headed into the living room. She sat down on a couch, and he sat right next to her. For some reason she was getting nervous by his closeness to her. She scooted over a little bit. If Roe'han saw this there would soon be blood all over the walls.
So what's up?
Come on Alex I'm listening.
Well I've finally found the man I want to live the rest of my life with, but due to my family genes he and I can't be together.
Let me get this strait. You've fallen in love but due to family problems you can't be together?
Her head drooped.
Maybe he doesn't love you in return.
He does I know it. That's why it hurts so much.
Did he say he does?
No, but it's this gut instinct that I know he does.
Maybe he doesn't.
He moved closer to her placing his hand on her hip.
Anthony what are you doing?
Making you mine.
You'll be mine now Alexus.
I will only belong to Roe'han even if that's only in name.
She tried to get up but Anthony had a firm grip on her arm. Let me go! she snarled.
Anthony pushed her backwards onto the couch pinning her down. Her strength within both of her races left her at that moment.
her mind screamed.
Alexus began to struggle only arousing the teen even more. It would serve this bastard right if her blood burned him into serialization.'
Anthony began to nuzzle and kiss her neck. Then his lips trailed up to her lips and forced a savage kiss on her lips. She pushed him away as far as she could.
My mate is going to kill you, she bit out.
Suddenly there was a familiar purring sound. Alexus smile and began to fight some more. She managed to kick him in the groin, and he groaned. She pushed him off the couch and struggled to get away from him. Anthony recovered enough to slam his foot in her back pinning her to the floor. The weight of his foot digging into her back lifted and that confused her. Turning slightly Anthony was dangling by the front of his shirt. There was nothing there. Blood was dripping from the small cuts on his chest.
He ignored her as he uncloaked. A low threatening growl escaped his throat.
No one will touch my mate but me, he snarled.
Anthony just laughed at the Predator.
You're to late Predator. My damage is done.
His head whipped to where Alexus was leaning against the wall. She didn't look to good.
What did you do to her?
What? You didn't think I knew what she was? My parents want you Predator and your mate too. I've subdued her blood and her strength so I can have her as my own.
she said weakly.
He threw Anthony into the wall knocking the human unconscious. Scooping up his mate he bolted from the home.
A/N: Okay I know I killed the Queen to quickly but there is more than one Queen. Not to mention Roe'han has a big problem. He doesn't know what's wrong with Alexus. And thank you to those who did review my story. I greatly appreciate it.
