CH. 6- Beautiful Partnerships

Jaslene and Celtic were almost to the exit when suddenly an Xenomoph appeared infront of them and knocked Celtic away from Jaslene. She shook fro a moment, but snapped out of her fear when she felt one of the bladed disk bump her foot and fall over. She quickly pick it up.

'How do you open this thing?!' she thought. The Xenomoph was closing in when she finally got it to open. She threw it at the thing and ran around widely. The blade sliced the head in haft, but she didn't care about anything, but Celtic. She saw him standing with the disk in hand. Another one came up shrieking. Celtic cut it quickly. He grabbed Jaslene by the hand and ran to the exit after he broke off one of the Xenomoph's fingers. They got on the lift and it went up. once they were at the surface they took a deep breath. Then Jaslene sent it back down.

"I have a feeling they're going to need it." she said. She turned around to see Celtic holding his chest with green blood coming out. She went to him quickly and led him into one of the buildings.She hurried to find all the first aid kits. While she did, he took off his mask. Then he tried to taker off his armor, but it hurt too much.

Jaslene set the kits on the table next to the chair he was sitting on. Then she helped him remove his armor. She got out all the bandages and began to tightly rap where he'd been cut by the Xenomoph's tail.

Scar shot them one by one, but there were just too many. Yet all of a sudden they retreated. Scar turned to the Xenomoph that Lex killed and took out the spear. He tried to just walk away from Lex, but she jumped up and began to follow him.

"Hey, I'm coming with you, " she said, "you hear me, you ugly creature?!"

He turned around quickly and growled fiercely. 'Stupid human!' he thought.

As he began to walk to her, she stepped back. He held up his spear as his gun moved aimingly.

'I can't kill her!' he thought with frustration. He lowered his spear and observed her, then he looked at the Xenomoph. 'Perhaps she can help.' he thought now.

He looked at her softly. Then he grabbed the tail and pulled it over. He took out a knife and cut off the top of the head.

"What are you doing?" Lex asked him. He snapped off one of the fingers and squeezed acid blood on the skin of the head and then on the rock. The skin remanded unharmed while the rock was being dissolved. Lex nodded. Now she understood.

He took a spear from one of the statues, cut the Xenomoph's pointed tail off, and tied it to the spear. Then he gave her the make-shift shield and spear. Now they were ready to move.

On the surface Celtic and Jaslene sat next to a cracking fire place. He was all bandaged up. He kept looking at Jaslene lovingly. Finally she snapped.

"What?!"

"You're the most beautiful thing I've seem." he blurted out. Jaslene sat there stunned for a minute.

"I'm not beautiful." she replied. "People like me aren't beautiful."

"People like you?"

"I'm a nerdy artist that never wears much make-up. I'm always wearing jeans and a shirt. My glasses are always on because I'm blind as a bat, and I rarely wear contacts, which I'm wearing now."

"I still think you're beautiful." She looked away blushing. He slowly scooted closer. "And I really did mean that I want you as my mate. I would be honored to have a partner such as you."

He touched her cheek gently, then softly breathed on her neck. She shivered. Her hands rested on his arms as he locked them around her. After a moment he slid his hands under her jacket. He sat back with both hands on her waist. She took off her jacket. Then her sweater. She was wearing a black a tank top. He touched the exposed part of her chest. Then he took the finger he broke off the Xenomoph. She watched as he made the mark on it. When he was done she looked him in the eyes. They hugged tightly again, but this time Celtic seemed to nibble at Jaslene's neck. She kissed him on the shoulder sweetly.

"I love you." he whispered in her ear. Her heart melted at that moment. She couldn't believe how this was happening. Tears filled her eyes. She couldn't believe that her heart was telling her she loved him too.

"And I love you." she replied. She closed her eyes and held him gently. They both cuddled for what seemed like forever. They both wished the moment would never end.
