Chapter 2

(Dante's pov)

I wake up 4 hours and I find myself in the living room couch with...guess what? The xenomorph cuddling me as it slept. I gasped when I saw it and it woke up. Kind of wished it's good hearing didn't make her wake up.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you were one of those men who captured me."

Wow...that. blew. my. mind. It's a girl. That sounds like a girl in her 20s. She communicated with my mind.

"Men who captured you?"

"Yes. They did some terrible things to me something you call experimenting."

That sounds like something Weyland industries would do to a xenomorph. Wait...hold the phone. If she exists then...does the company exist too? Fuck...

"Sounds like someone's poking their noses where they shouldn't be."

She nods.

"What's your name?" She asked me.

"Dante. What's yours?" I asked as shifted my movement to get more comfortable.

"Shadow."

"Well, Shadow. I apologize for fainting like that but it's not usual to see an alien eating food in my basement. I got to clean your mess later."

She sheepishly laughs and I just rolled my eyes.

The next day, 4 hours later after I cleaned Shadow's mess, I get a knock from the door.

"Hide!" I told Shadow.

Shadow hid in the basement and I walked to door and opened it. It was my neighbor.

"Is everything alright? I heard noises coming from your house."

"I'm fine, Mr. Holland. I just fell down on water and ended up knocking down somethings." I lied.

"You okay?" He asked genuinely worried.

"I'm fine."

"Well...hope you feel okay. If you need anything, just let me know." He said as he was heading back to his house.

"Will do. Thank you for your concern Mr. Holland."

Just as I about to close the door...

"Mr. Vera, I persume?" Said a female with a Canadian accent.

I see a woman in her early 30s in a lab coat walking towards me.

"Who's asking?" I said with a serious tone.

"I'm from Weyland industries and I'm here to look for something that escaped from our facilities. I suspect it's hiding in your house."

"Dante? What's going on?" I hear Shadow with a worried tone.

"I think I found the people who are looking for you. Stay in the basement."

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Ma'am. I just came back from work and I'm having a stressful morning." I said as I pretended to have a stressful day.

"Sorry to hear that but I'm here to search your house and I'll take my leave."

"Nope. I need some sleep and I-"

She lost her patience and points her pistol at me.

"You got to be fucking kidding me?" I growled.

"Sir. I just want to look around if the subject is in the house then I'll leave."

"...Fine."

"Thank you, sir." She said as she walked in the house.

The woman looked around the house and she didn't had any luck finding Shadow. Shadow must be a very good hider because the woman goes back to me disappointed.

"Sorry to waste your time, sir. I'll take my leave." The woman said as she left the house and started walking away.

I went back to my house and checked if the house was bugged or had any cameras. None thankfully.

"Are they gone?"

"Hold on..."

I looked out the window and I see the woman go in her car and drive away.

"Okay. It's safe now."

Shadow walked out of the basement and sits next to my couch.

"I don't think she's going give up looking for you."

"I'm sorry I put you in this situation."

"That's okay. For now we need to stay low. There's no doubt they're still around the vicinity of the neighborhood."

This just to a even more fucked up life with the company roaming about.

I tried to call Rachael but no luck. I kept trying multiple times and still no luck.

"Come on...pick up." I mumbled.

No luck again. Now I was worried out of my fucking mind. What is happening to her? Finally someone picked up.

"Hello?"

It was Mizuki. Rachael's twin sister.

(A/N: yes. Rachael's sister is now in the story. Didn't see that coming did you?)

"Oh...thank god. Mizuki, where's your sister?" I sigh in relief.

"Some guys in suits took her said that they were going to take her somewhere. I'm scared...what are they going to do to her or...me?" Her voice trembled.

Oh shit...the company took Rachael? No...Mizuki is the younger sister of Rachael and she gets scared and paranoid when she's alone or if Rachael doesn't go to her house on time.

"Mizuki. Stay there. I'm going to come get you."

"Okay."

I hung up the phone and I start freaking the fuck out. What was going to happen to Rachael and Mizuki? I was paranoid as hell. Please...for the love god...don't let them be in sick experiments from the company or something like that.

"Shadow. I need you to stay hidden when I go get a friend of mine."

"What happened?"

"Those people took my friend and her sister is all alone in her house."

"Stay safe."

"I will." I said as I went out of the house.

I went to Mizuki's house to get her and just as we were about to leave, four guys in suits come out of their cars and point their guns at us. Me and Mizuki put our hands up as two of the men walked towards us.

They blindfolded and handcuffed us and put us in the car. They drove somewhere and Mizuki was scared was scared out of her mind. Now let me tell you something I forgot to mention. Mizuki is 3 years younger than Rachael. She's 17 years old and already that waves a red flag that the company are going too far.

I hear one of the guys talking on his walkie-talkie.

"Targets acquired. Heading back to base. ...Yes. the subject was found in the target's house and is contained."

Fuck...they found her. They must've watched me somehow.

"Dante...What's going to happen to us?" Mizuki said with a shaky tone.

"I don't know, Mizuki. But let's hope it's not death."
