Chapter 1: Home sweet home

After leaving Yautja prime, she was taken back to her home planet where she would be safe and away from danger. The yautja's that were helping her had asked her where exactly she wanted to go and she replied "Woodharest," the small town where she had lived for most of her life and where she met Khalon during one of his missions on earth.

A few minutes went by and they arrived few miles away from Woodharest, the yautja's landed the ship in an open area located within the dark woods in order to avoid being detected by the other oomans. She grabbed her baby that was still sleeping next to her and began making her way out of the ship until one young yautja spoke "t'ake ca're..."

She looked over her shoulder and gave him a small smile "You too, thank you for your help."

The yautja gave her a small nod.

As she walked out of the flying saucer, her bare feet made contact with the cold wet mud making goose bumps run down her arms, she was greeted with a small gentle breeze and the fresh smell of pine trees began to make their presence as she continued walking. She turned around and saw the main door from the ship close shut as it began to rise from the ground and with a blink of an eye it disappeared into the dark night without making a single noise.

She was now alone with her child in a world where she had once considered her home. She had been living in Yautja prime for the past 5 months and had considered that her new home.

The baby in her arms began to open his eyes and let out a small series of clicks as he saw his mother. She looked down at him and gave him a gentle smile "Well, someone's up." She lowered her head and placed a small kiss on his forehead as she began to walk towards the town that was a few miles away from her. The baby let out a small yawn mixed with a small roar, making her feel a sharp pain in her heart as she remembered the roar she had grown to love and adore.

She looked up into the dark sky and spoke lowly "Khalon..."

Unlike most of his clan, Khalon was different in some ways, sure, he had mandibles and had rough reptilian like skin and killed pretty much anything that was a threat, but whenever she saw into his dark green moss eyes she would see something else besides the vicious hunter that he truly was. She saw his soft side, a side that most yautja didn't have. He only showed this side whenever he was with her and their child, but when he was out hunting he showed his aggressive and strong side to his opponents or to his clan as well. After all, Khalon was a teenager so, it was much more simple for him to acquire this side.

She turned her attention back to the small trail that led out of the woods and began walking again, leaving her thoughts behind. The trees seemed to gather themselves around her as if they were wanting to know her secrets, the moon was a pale white orb that hung in the lonely sky. It's light rays were the only light source she had as she continued to move further down, making her feel safe in the well- lighted woods.

After walking for what seemed to be hours she finally started to hear the sound of cars driving on the wet street indicating that she was close to a road, maybe someone will notice her and offer her a ride home. Well, if she still had a home in that case.

As she continued walking, her son began to make a small purring sound as he cuddled on his mothers arm, making her smile "Don't worry Alex, we're almost home." she quicken her pace and finally made it out of the woods and into the side of the road where some cars were passing by. She looked at the road and noticed the big billboard sign that read "Welcome to Woodharest!" in big white letters, making it simple for drivers to notice.

She began walking the direction the cars were headed and noticed a dark red car was slowing down, she looked at the car and noticed a young man with blond messy hair pulling up next to her. The man lowered his window and asked in a benevolent tone "Hey, ma'am, do you need a lift?"

She took awhile to answer, not because she was thinking whether to get in or not, but it had been a long time since she heard someone speak English. She had gotten used to hearing all sorts of clicks, roars, growls, snarls and broken English that she had forgotten how it felt to be spoken to in English without broken sentences.

"Yes, please." she spoke in a low voice.

"Well, hop on, I'll drive you to Woodharest and take you home." The man suggested with a friendly smile.

She made her way to the passenger's seat and opened the door, once inside she placed her seat belt on and spoke "Thank you so much for helping me."

"It's no problem ma'am" The man spoke as he began to drive towards the town. He looked at her and looked at the little boy who was looking at him with a confused look on his face. "So who's the little boy?" The man asked as he looked back on the road.

"This is Alexander...Alexander Thompson" She answered. Thompson was her last name.

"That's a mouth full." He joked "And what's your name?" he asked.

"Name's Scarlett, Scarlett Thompson." She answered with a small smile.

"Well, nice to meet you, Scarlett, my name is Walter Jones. You can call me either or." He spoke with a wide smile as he looked at her.

Scarlett returned the smile and looked down at Alex who was now chewing on the necklace his father had given him a few hours ago.

"Baby, don't chew on that." She said as she removed the necklace from his mouth, making him growl lowly. 'Just like your father.' She thought as she placed the necklace around her neck, keeping it away from the little boy who was now looking at Walter with a confused look. She could hear him lowly growling at Walter as if he was telling him to stay away from his dear mother. This made her giggle.

'Oh yeah, totally like his father.'

When she was in Yautja Prime, Khalon had always been over protective of her since they were intimate. He was her mate, therefore it was his duty to protect her from anyone that tried to make contact with her, physically. He even growled at the other males that had tried to get close to her.

And it seemed like her little Alex was going to be just like his father.

For some reason, this chapter was hard to do so, sorry if it's a little crappy ^_^ hope you enjoyed it!
