Serene stared at the scene before her as she felt like time was frozen,

"Please, don't." She managed to get out and the large xenomorph moved his head in her direction.

"This human tried to kill me; you would save him for his murderous intent towards me?"

Her mouth was shut, she did not know how to handle a situation like this and she was torn between the two. She wondered what she could do about this and when she looked at Squeak's pleading eyes, she knew.

"Let him go. I'll get them to leave, I promise. Just, let him go. Please."

The large xenomorph turned his head towards Squeak then back at Serene,

"Come and remove his weapon from his hand and I will release him. Get them off of the ship."

Serene nodded and slowly moved to where the xenomorph was,

"Squeak, I need you to give me your gun." He shook his head furiously,

"Please Squeak. I don't want you to die because of me." He shook his head again so she ad no choice but to take the weapon from him.

The xenomorph removed himself from Squeak and clung to the ceiling, Serene grabbed Squeak's hand and dragged him out of the room.

"You are stubborn Squeak. Do you think I want you to die?" Squeak stopped her and signed that he wanted to kill the xenomorph and leave.

"I can't let you do that Squeak. Just go, I'll be okay. I promise." He signed that he wasn't leaving with out her.

"Squeak! You have to! I don't want him to kill you!" With her yell, the large xenomorph came out of the room he was in and grabbed Squeak.

"No! Please! Don't kill him!" She begged as she got down on her knees,

"I am not going to kill him, I putting him and those other humans back onto the ship and getting the rest of my brothers and sisters to chase them from our nest." Serene lowered her head and she nodded slowly.

Saying goodbye was out of the question, her old life was down the drain and she had to make a new one. She could hear the screeching and gun fire even though she had moved down into the old lab, it she felt like it could be her safe haven until the large xenomorph came to disturb her. Slowly the gunfire died down and she heard the ship undock and blast off into space, her only chance at escaping was leaving her all alone. Serene tucked her knees up to her chest and put her face in her hands as she started to cry, it was so much for her that she just let the tears flow.

"Do not cry." She felt a slick leathery like skin rub against her head so she lifted it up quickly to only scream and move away.

"No, don't be frightened of me…" He had such a sincere voice that she almost wasn't.

"What did you do to me?" She cried,

"I made you understand. Humans do not understand why we kill, yaujta see us as game. We kill just as humans kill for food and to protect."

"You murder just because! It's in your nature just to kill because you have the power!" The next thing she knew, his clawed hand was around her neck and he was hoisting her off of the ground.

"We kill because we can? We kill to survive! We kill to eat, to please our mother!" Serene was crying even harder as she fought for each breath.

Her hands were trying to claw at his to release his hold on her throat,

"We have lost our mother! All we had was the young to implant the humans to make more of us!" He must have realized that he was causing her pain because he let her down gently.

Serene coughed hard as she fought even more tears that threatened to spring from her eyes.

"Mother controls us; tells us what to do. They killed her when I had just burst from a human's chest."

She cringed at the thought of a xenomorph bursting out of a human's chest,

"So brutal." She whispered and his head turned towards her.

"What are you called female?" He slowly went to rub his head on her shoulder and she let him because she was frightened.

"My name is Serene."

"Serene, it is a beautiful name for such an exquisite female."

"Do you have a name?" He tilted his head and seemed to be thinking hard on her question.

"Mother did not give me a name. Give a name that you like."

Serene went wide eyed and she looked at him in a curious manner, she nothing about naming anything because she was not allowed even a pet when she lived on the station with her parents.

"I-I don't know. I've never named anything in my life." He turned his head slightly then directed his attention back at her.

"Varishen?" She shrugged and he seemed pleased enough with it because he gently nudged his head against her breasts.

She gently moved his head away from her chest as she felt her face heat up,

"Sorry, I'm just do not think that it where your head should be."

"Come, you will meet my brothers and sisters." He was gentle in nudging her off of her butt and onto her feet.

"I'm not so sure about that…"

"Do not be afraid. They follow my lead. I am the strongest for a reason."

"Why are you larger than the rest of your family?" With her question, he grew silent and she realized she must have hit a nerve with her question.

Fearing his wrath, she kept herself silent and followed him like an obedient dog following its master. It was against her will, she did not like being afraid of anything or being ordered around like he was but he could kill her in an instant. She wondered what Squeak was going to do, would he come to save her?

"I hope for his sake that he does not come back for you. I will kill him if I ever see that human again."

"How did you-?"

"I bonded with you. Our minds are as one." Serene huffed and rolled her eyes.

Serene then tried to see if she could enter his mind and see if she could find out why he was so large. Varishen turned and he moved towards her, she pushed herself up against a nearby wall and he came within inches of her face.

"If you want to know so badly then why don't you become the Queen? I can make it possible; I am the strongest male here."

Serene looked at him in slight disgust,

"I am a human, I cannot become a-a Queen!"

"No, you are right. Leave my past behind us; I am the strongest male and that is all you need to know."

Serene nodded and he moved from her.

She was terrified, to put it lightly, of the creature who could snap her neck in two with a flick of one of his finger. He could just as easily turn around and use his inner mouth to splatter her brain all over the floor or wall. His tail could run her through with a speed that scared her more than anything,

"I will not kill you Serene." He stopped and turned to face her,

"How do I know that? How do I know that you aren't taking me to feed your family?" Varishen turned from her then turned back to her.

"I want to mate with you. You are a desirable female and I want to mate with you. I would not kill the female I want to mate with." Serene felt her face heat up and she knew she would have fainted.

"W-Wait now, I-I do not think that—" In a second, he was near her face and he seemed to be smelling her.

"It is right that I be the one to claim you before any of my brothers try to. You have yet to mate, even with a human male. The scent is intoxicating to my senses."She shivered slightly as he slowly moved his face away from hers.

She felt slightly uncomfortable at the idea of having sex at all let alone with a xenomorph. It scared her to a degree and she still would fight until the end or until the xenomorph had enough of her stubbornness. Serene noticed that Varishen was leaving the room so; she quickly caught up to him and started to notice a gooey like substance on the walls. She made a 'yuck' face and continued to follow Varishen,

"Varishen? What if they try to attack me?" She asked as the entered a room that reminded her of a cocoon almost.

The Gooey substance covered every inch of the walls and she saw rotting corpses with their chest burst open hanging from the goo. She turned and retched onto the ground,

"Are you sick?" She shook her head and pointed at the corpses.

"Ah, humans can be…disgusted by such things?" Serene nodded and turned from the view of the corpses.

She heaved a few more times then looked at Varishen as she wiped her mouth with her hand.

"Yes, it is disgusting. I've never seen a human corpse in my life." Varishen came up to her and at first she cringed until he rubbed his head gently against her arm.

"We can avoid this room if you wish."

"Please, I want to avoid the sight of those…" She shivered as her stomach churned.

She gripped her stomach gently and Varishen led her out of the room and into one that was still covered in goo but there were no bodies. He stopped and gave a loud screech that shook the room, and then quite a few xenomorph entered the room through air vents or openings in the walls. Serene felt the tension automatically rise in the room, Varishen then let out several screeches and the tension eased significantly.

"They didn't seem to like me a second ago."

"They thought you were prey. I told them that you are going to be my mate."

"Lovely." Serene looked at each xenomorph; they all looked the same to her other than Varishen.

"They will not harm you ever. They will come to like you even but, for now they will tolerate you because of me."

"Do I have to sleep near them?"

"No, I do not sleep where my brothers and sisters do."

"May I sleep in the room I had when the ship was up and running?"

"We shall sleep in there together. It will help the mating." She felt her face get warm and he turned to exit the room.

She followed him out of the room and he turned his head in her direction,

"I don't want to have sex Varishen." She continued to walk to lead him to her room and he followed.

"If we do not then my brothers will try to mate with you."

"I don't want that either but I don't want this."

"Am I not strong enough? Have I not proved my strength and patience when it came to that human male you were infatuated with?" Serene went to open her mouth but closed it.

Jealousy fueled men to do stupid things, she knew that he was more akin to an animal and would have killed Squeak just to get rid of competition.

"You are strong enough. I thank you for your patience." She slowly sank to her knees in front of him.

Animals communicated through actions, she had to calm him and keep him calm.

Serene touched his head softly and he seemed to approve of the action,

"You showed great patience. You proved that you are strong by killing those humans." She cringed, when had she started to think of herself as not human?

"I am just not ready. You have proved yourself but humans become scared with situations like this."

"Then I will wait until you wish to mate with me." He rubbed his head against hers and for a moment she swore that she could accept Varishen.

I shot out another chapter for all of you who were impatiently waiting. Thank you for all of your reviews and thank you to the ones who don't review but favorite this story. To answer just one question that was asked: No, she cannot talk to him through her thoughts because she is human. He can understand her because of the bond but it is not the same for her side. I am not answering why he is larger because I want it to be in the story. She will find out how he became so large but until then you have to sit tight. Anywho, enough of my rambling. Thank you all, I hope more of you get the courage to review and I look forward to those who have been reviewing!
