Chapter 4 – They are dangerous part 2

After hearing John's outburst he couldn't stay in the kitchen, something was clearly wrong. The black prawn slowly made his way out in the lobby, he made sure that there were nobody else around before heading over to the elder. John sat with his back to the prawn, holding a young woman in his arms. She was stuttering words that Darius found hard to hear, through all the sobbing and crying. Only a few words did he understand and one of them were "gang". She had been a victim of a gang, he figured. Darius couldn't see her face and went to kneel beside her, how sad and scared she looked. He hated humans, but who could have done something so terrible, to make an innocent girl like her cry like this. It made him so very angry. She was innocent and didn't deserve to be hurt. "Are you alright" he asked her, and the concern in his own voice shocked himself. The girl lifted her angelic head with wide eyes in fear. The blue eyes prawn starred into her silvery eyes and knew exactly who she was, she screamed and broke out from John's arms. She backed up into the wall, and Darius shot up, running back to the desk, hiding under it. "How can this be? Does she live even live here, god now I'm in trouble" his mind exploded inside of his head, making it hard for him to think. He peeped out, and saw john holding her, trying to calm her. Darius knew that he couldn't leave John would be angry if he ran away from this.

The route he took was way longer than the one she took, but the risk about going through a human only area was too great. The prawn arrived at the hotel and peeped in through the window. The angel was standing against the wall, trapped. An older man stood over her. She looked terrified. On instinct the yellow prawn sprung inside the hotel doors, pushing the man away and standing between the angel and any possible threat. He heard that her crying stopped and took that as a good sign. He turned his head and gave her a weak smile "he didn't hurt you did he?" the prawn asked and searched her for wounds "y-you..." her face was pale and she looked at the other end of the lobby, where John laid unconscious. The yellow prawn was suddenly ripped away from her. Delilah watched as the black prawn began to attack, the yellow who defended himself the best he could. But it was a dead fate. The black one had the upper hand at all times. "stop" she whispered as the yellow took in more and more blows. He was losing, and she couldn't stand to watch this. It was to barbaric "please stop" she said louder but for them it was still just a whisper. The yellow one fell to his knees and something that looked like blood came out of his mouth. He looked up at the black one with his big, green eyes awaiting the finishing blow.

"STOP!" she screamed and stood in between the two prawns "stop" she repeated. The black prawns eyes showed a hint of confusion "but he-!" he tried to protest and pointed at John, Delilah interrupted him "I know, but please John wouldn't want this" she spoke in a pleading way, her tone begging for him to stop. Darius took a step back and stomped angry in the floor, he couldn't take his anger out on the prawn because she protected him, and he couldn't hurt her either because he... he just couldn't. Delilah felt very scared and intimidated by the two gigantic prawns, but the yellow had seemed like he had tried to help her and the black one like he had tried to protect John. She didn't know what to think, and thought that it might be best to wait for John to wake up and then ask what the hells going on. She looked at the angry black prawn, who seemed to be very annoyed of not getting to kill the yellow. She didn't want to say anything to him, for the fear that he might get more angry, but she knew that if someone came in now bad, BAD things would happen. "umm..c-could you please..help carry John out in the back it won't be…." her voice seemed to disappear in a whisper and the black prawn sent her a glare that made her tremble. "Were you saying something" he asked dryly she went to meet his gaze but hung her head short after, not able to stand up against him "could you please help carry John out in the back, it won't be good if someone comes in and sees this" she said loud enough for him to hear. He looked at her with a irritated expression, but he really was agreeing with her. They all got in the back and Delilah fixed the lobby enough for people not to notice.

John laid on a bench in there, the two prawns sat on each side of the island, and Delilah sat close to the door, so if anything should happen she could run. The two prawns stayed clam but shot daggers at each other. Delilah really didn't like this situation and the aliens seemed more and more irritated for each minute that passed by. "So..." she started and got their attention right away. They stared at her, while she awkward stared at her feet. She meet the yellow one green eyes, and he gave her a nervous smile. She looked to the black one, she had not recovered from yesterday and was still terrified by him. He seemed to notice this, and looked at the suddenly very interesting wall. The yellow one got tired of the silence and pointed at himself, Delilah looked at him intensely and he started talked in some strange clicking language, the young girl looked confused at him, not understanding a word he had just said. They both looked at each other a bit awkward, "she doesn't understand our languages, you idiot" said the black one said harshly and the yellow gave him a death stare. If looks could kill they would have killed each other a long time ago. He looked back at Delilah and his expression softened immediately, he pointed at himself again "my name is Blake" he said calmly, since she couldn't understand his true name his human name would have to do. He smiled and for a moment he looked a little cute. The black one growled in annoyance. Drawing both of their attention, he glared at Blake and he nodded all of a sudden. Like they just had an conversation, the black one looked evilly at Delilah and a shiver ran down her spine. He stood up and closed the distance between them, Delilah stumbled to her feet and was about to disappear out of the door, but the alien arm that slammed into the door frame only a few inch from her head, she squealed in fright. And her face must have gone ghost pale then he leaned in on her. Trapped between the wall and a huge alien, that looked very evil. She could feel how darkness began to creep in on her, but the the alien stepped back, and he was.. laughing? She looked at him in disbelief, he had just made a joke out of her fears, WHAT A JERK! She thought and her eyes showed just for angry she was. She clenched her hands into fists and stepped right up to the laughing prawn. She tapped him on the shoulder and as he turned around facing her, with a mocking expression, she slammed him on the head. He stood there staring at her completely lost, then he thought he had just figured her out she walks over and hits him. He didn't understand a thing. Blake started laughing in the background clearly entertained by the confrontation. But for those two there were completely silence, they stood there in their own world trying to figure the other out. In the end Delilah was the one to back down, her doubt caught up with her and so did her fear. She left. The alien stood there looking after her, "my name is Darius.." he whispered in a sad tone, Blake's laughter drowned the words. So nobody could hear.
