Hunter's Moon
"I am Stone of the Yautja." Sera looked up at the so called Yautja. His voice was rough and come out more as a growl. Sera nodded in respect and out stretched her hand towards Stone.
"I'm Sera" she said politely. Stone looked at her carefully then hesitantly took her hand. His hand was huge; it basically swallowed her small hand. Sera was surprised his hand was smooth like, instead of rough. When Sera tried to let go Stone didn't, he examined her hand.
"S-Se-Sera" he struggled to say correctly. Then he looked at her face. She smiled lightly at the giant that towered over, that any second could kill her with two swift movements. One for retracting his wrist blades, then the other to slash at her throat spilling her blood everywhere, and probably was decapitating her in the process.
"Why are you here?" she asked, as they walked along. Stone glanced at her. "For ultimate prey. Right to passage as man. Also clean up prey's mess." She nodded slightly confused, and then she remembered Mal' Kia and that other Yautja, as Stone said, at her house.
"You mean the xenomorphs are your prey?" she asked half afraid for Mal' Kia's life, well that is if he was still alive. Stone nodded his head.
Suddenly he stopped in his tracks. Sera looked up at him, confused then tensed as she heard brushes near rustle. She growled and reached down to grab her side arm.
A screech rang through the air, and a xenomorph leapt on top of Stone, catching him off guard. As Sera tried to run to him, something leapt at her. It was spider like with a long tail. She nearly screamed but it covered her face, its tail wrapping around her neck. The hand like creature tried to slide something in her mouth but luckily Sera closed lips tightly in time. She tried to claw the thing off her face, but its hold only grew stronger and its tail threatened to suffocate her.
She couldn't breathe. "MAL'KIA!!" she screamed in her thoughts hoping to god he would somehow hear her.
"MAL'KIA!!" He heard her. She was near, he could feel her. Mal' Kia ran towards her presence. There in the clearing a Yautja fighting one of his kind and a face hugger or stage 1 trying to impregnate his ooman!
He hissed so loudly it almost turned into a roar. "Leave my female!!" he yelled in rage. The face hugger must have felt his anger because it left her then and there, at that moment. It tried to scamper way but in his rage; he pounced on it and killed it, painfully.
Mal' Kia looked down over at his ooman, his Sera. She lay there on the ground, coughing painfully and rubbed her bruised neck. He walked over to her and lay down beside her.
"Are you ok Sera?" he cooed resting his head lightly on her chest.
Sera looked up and found Mal' Kia above her. "Kia, you came?" she rasped painfully. The xeno grinned as much as one could. He liked this little pet name his ooman had given him.
"Well of course, you called" Sera smiled then remembered Stone was still there just a few feet from them. Kia must have seen her fear because he rose and looked at the Yautja that had killed one of his brothers. Both looked ready to attack.
"NO! Stop!" Sera screamed, immediately thinking she was foolish that she had come into the middle of the two deadly creatures. She faced Stone, with her arms out shielding Mal' Kia.
Stone glared at the xeno then Sera. Why would she protect this prey, it's kind tried to kill her earlier, when they met? And this Xeno, Why would he protect this ooman? She was cattle to them, a mere host for them, yet he had stopped the impregnating process. She was never infected.
"Why do you protect this prey?" he growled angrily at Sera, demanding a reason for this foolishness. She stood there for a moment, she dropped her arms and looked down, and her dark hair covered her face.
"He saved me, saved me from your kind." She looked up sadly at him, almost as if asking for forgiveness.
Stone couldn't understand why his kind would try to harm her. Yes she was a strong, good challenger but she was still a mere child. It could have been the less experienced hunters.
"Please don't harm him" she asked helpless, knowing how two enemies could be joined could only cause conflict. "Fine"
Sera looked up in shock at the giant. "I promise not to harm this prey as long as he does the same." Stone growled at the xeno behind her. Mal' Kia looked at his sworn enemy from birth, then to his ooman.
He sighed nodded, if it meant for his Sera then he guess he could tolerate the Yautja. "Then it's startled. Let's go... Wait I have no clue where we're going" Sera started waking off but stopped and looked the two aliens. Stone chuckled "We are to destroy the hive."
Stone expected the xenomorph at his side to attack him, but the dragon like creature made no notion. He could tell by the flicker of its tail it wasn't all too happy with the idea.
Sera looked at him, confused. "The hive?"
Stone nodded to Mal' Kia to answer. The xeno hissed slightly. "It is where my queen is, laying her eggs. We warriors, bring hosts to her eggs, they become impregnated. Then hours later there are more of us." He said softly, watching sadly as his ooman backed a few feet away from him.
"You mean that thing was trying to make out with me, to get me prego?" She shivered as a thought flashed through her mind. The black xeno cocked his head to the side in confusion, but then nodded.
Stone looked around suddenly. "We should move" he growled walking away. Sera shrugged then followed him.
The three made their way down the road past town hall, when something caught Sera's eye. A black truck was rolled on its side. She immediately recognized the truck, as she ran towards it. She knelt down by the broken front window, looking in and began to cry.
The black xeno crept up to her, curling his tail around her, giving her an odd like hug.
Stone looked at the scene before him. It was a xeno attack and the ooman was taken to be a host. "Sera, why the flowing rivers from your eyes?" Stone said softly, before kneeling down by her but still away from the xeno. "Justin, they took him. They took my boyfriend."
Sera wiped her eyes and looked at her out of this world companions, literally.
"My lover? Mate?" she said, seeing the confused looks, well at least it looked like it. "We have to find him."
Sera stood finding her strength again, determined to seek and destroy. Mal' Kia thought for a moment, he already betrayed his kind by protecting this ooman, then befriending a Yautja (sorta), then killing a stage 1. How much more of a traitor could he get? Now helping to kill his own queen and clan?
Stone could tell the xeno was having second thoughts now. "Come Sera lets go" Stone said put his large hand on her shoulder, using his mask to locate the trail from the xeno. Sera looked back and found Kia still sitting there by Justin's truck. 'So he would rather protect his kind instead.' She thought; completely forgetting he could somehow hear her thoughts.
