lol anyway enjoy and please review!
Sarah and Raven had been on the ship for about a week. One more day, and they would reach Alcede. While aboard the ship, the girls had been taking their regular college classes. Plus, one educating them on their soon-to-be mate. Both Sarah and Raven where assigned to a class, jokingly called, Xeno 101. So far, they had learned on how to approach him, act around him, and what if's. As far as approaching him…you didn't. You were wait for him to approach you…then see where it went from there. The main thing that their instructor had told was 'baby steps'. Although she had also said that things always took off well from there, so it was really no big deal. Another thing the class had went over was pretty much anatomy. In the famous science-fiction movies, Xenos were seen as thin tube-like built lizards. Wrong. Well, mostly. Based on their DNA and genetics, they had originated from reptilians. They were now much closer to mammals. They were basically built like they had appeared in the films, yet they were much thicker and less boney, and did not have such pronounced shoulder blades. Xenos also did not produce that much saliva…except maybe when eating. Everything else, true. They were still lethal and dangerous.
When time had come to discuss the 'special' parts, several of the young women's faces went bright pink. Raven had face palmed herself several times when some of them asked silly questions like 'what if it got stuck'. The answer?…well apparently they were hung like a horse, but there was no danger of it actually getting stuck. An interesting thing about it however, was that most of them had 'ridges'. Well that could be fun, raven had thought with a smirk. Then had scolded herself for thinking like that…shame on her. There were also other questions like what if they got pregnant, what if they weren't ready, or what would childbirth be like.
The women could get pregnant, but not if they didn't want to or felt they weren't ready. They could take birth control pills which were supplied by the Facility. It was said that the urge to have sex or 'mate', would be strong, especially in the beginning, which just made the girls turn a more noticeable pink. But it was natural, and to be expected. If they were to be pregnant, the child could either be born in male Xeno form, which could vary in slightly different form than they are now, which just results in a slightly thicker form. If so, it would develop and come out of the uterus, same as a human child. Or could be born male or female in human form, which could also vary in form, such as thicker darker nails, dark colored hair, and as an adult could be taller and have more muscle tone than the average human. As for the childbirth, it would pretty much be the same as birthing a human child. Even with all of this information, the women still felt nervous, although, who could blame them?
Most of the girls classes were over for that day and everyone was heading to their rooms for the night. Yet it seemed that none of them would be getting any sleep tonight. As Sarah and Raven walked through the corridors, making their way to their room, they could tell the difference. Tension and excitement could be felt all throughout the ship. The women were getting antsy. In the morning, seven hours from then, they would arrive in Alcede.
"It's sad." Sarah whispered holding on tightly to her calculus textbook, "Our last night here."
"I know. But it's also exciting." said Raven as they arrived at their door. "and terrifying.." she mumbled, pushing open the door.
Walking in, Raven was the first to notice the file folders on the floor, which must have been slid under the door. "Huh.." She picked up the folders and set her class books on her nightstand. They each had their names on them. Raven handed Sarah the one with her name and sat down on the bed to look over her own.
"Do you know what they are?" asked Sarah, plopping down on her bed to look through the folder and almost landed on Nika who was hiding under the covers.
"No" Raven shook her head. She opened the folder to find a pack of stapled papers. There was a name printed in large at the top of the fist page. Niroh. She liked how it sounded. Liked the similarity of it to Nika. She realized what he packet was for as she read further down and through the pages. "Sarah…you know what these are, don't you?" she asked, still focused on the packet.
"Yeah," answered Sarah, "These are like profiles." she said smiling "So…these are our 'mates'?"
"I'm guessing so….Hey, Sarah, mine's two-hundred and seventy-three years old. How old is yours?" Raven asked laughing.
"Wait, lemme see…um..haha one-hundred and twenty-four" she grinned. "And he has an awesome name, too. Tha'nir…or maybe I'm saying it wrong…it's still awesome. What's yours, Rave?"
Raven laughed. "Niroh"
"Niiiiccce"
"Ha yup. Now we just need to actually meet them." said Raven tucking herself under the covers of the bed with Nika by her side.
Sarah yawned, already tucked in and laying her folder on the nightstand. "I still cant believe it." she breathed and snapped her fingers to turn the lights off. "Tomorrow's it…Tomorrow's when our life's going to change."
