Alex opened his eyes and saw nothing, but darkness surrounding him and judging by the dark abyss that hovered over his body and the sound of crickets playing their favorite melody, he figured it was night time. He turned to the right to look out his bedroom window and saw the night sky and the thousands of stars that were scattered in the dark horizon; the moon shined bright as it hovered on the sky, giving everyone it's pure light. To him the moon was by far more beautiful than the sun.

"Hey, moon..." He sleepy greeted to the white orb, knowing that he wasn't going to get a response. He turned his attention to his left and saw four red numbers staring right back at him, telling him it was 09:30pm.

He couldn't remember what had happen, but feeling like his head was about to explode, he pushed himself into a sitting position causing him to get light headed by the sudden action. He ran a hand through his messy hair and began retaking his steps "I was reading a book..." he mumbled "I went into mother's room to talk to her..." and then blank. He wasn't quite sure what had happened or what had cost him to be in bed so early; usually, he'll be up at this time either playing a couple of video games, texting his friends, listening to a couple of songs, or doing random sketches. Surly, if he had passed out in his mother's room, she wasn't going to carry him over to his room like she used to when he was just a small child.

He looked at the dark brown nightstand that was besides his bed and turned the lamp on, giving him some sort of light. "Guess I better go and check on mother." he said. He threw his legs over the bed, making contact on the cold wooden floor. He then pushed himself off his warm bed and began making his way towards the door, dragging his feet along the wooden surface.

"Wonder what mother is doing." He spoke as he exited the room, closing the door behind him. He made his way down the short hallway and began looking at the pictures that were hanging on the wooden wall. It may sound weird, but the upstairs hallway was one of his favorite parts of the house; besides his bedroom and the kitchen of course. There were white picture frames hanging on the old wooden wall, each contacting a picture of him and his mother. There was one picture that was his absolute favorite and it was a picture of the family cat, Mr. Fluffy.

"Hey buddy." Alex greeted the picture in a soft tone.

Mr. Fluffy was an old white Persian cat that Scarlett had adopted in the town's pet shop. He was completely white and had a grey mask on his face, his light blue eyes reminded him of the sky in a beautiful sunny day. Mr. Fluffy was a friendly cat who grew close to Alex when he first arrived to their home, he would always follow him around and would cry all day whenever Alex was gone. He would even bring little dead insects to him as a gift to which Alex would place in a small box. Sadly though, due to his old age, he passed away underneath his best friend's bed, wanting to be close to him. He was a lovable cat that would forever remain in Alex's and Scarlett's heart.

A quiet creaking sound grabbed Alex's attention.

He looked at the door that lead to his mother's room and noticed that the door was slightly opened. Curious, he walked towards the door that was on the end of the hallway, passing the stairs and knocked before going in. Once inside, he saw no one, but a red covered book that was laying on the side of the bed, he also noticed that the window was wildly open making it an easy entrance for someone to sneak in. 'Why would mother leave this open?' he thought as he made his way to the window. A sudden rush of cold air came in, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin.

'Maybe she wanted some fresh air.' He concluded as he closed the window, locking it shut. After doing so, he made his way out the room, closing the door behind him.

He made his way down the stairs, but stopped midway as the sweet, soft voice of his mother made it's presence known and it sounded like she was talking to someone. But to who was the question.
"Don't worry it wasn't your fault...I'm sure he'll understand once we tell him the truth." She spoke to whoever she was speaking to.

Alex slowly and quietly went down one step in order to listen. He wasn't one to listen in on other people's conversations because he knew that it was wrong to do so, but if it involved him or his mother, it obvious became his business. He pressed himself against the wall in order to keep hidden.

Then a deep voice came in and whoever it was, spoke English pretty broken,but it was still understandable "Y'ou think he'll be hapy to ze me? Do y'ou tink he'll hate me?"

"Of course he will be happy to see you" Scarlett spoke in a optimistic voice "Sure he'll be confused at first, but we'll tell him the truth about what had happened years ago." she then said in a benevolently tone "And, trust me, Alex won't hate you."

Now that part was true. Scarlett knew Alex better than anyone; after all, she was his mother. She knew that in order for him to hate someone they had to either hurt her or hurt someone else who couldn't defend themselves and in this case, Khalon hadn't done neither. So, Alex had no reason to hate him.

'Who the hell is she talking to? She said years ago...Could it be my father?' He thought 'No...it wouldn't make sense...my father died years ago' he started to feel anxious as more questions were popping up. 'Who in town speaks broken English? And have I ever met that person?' It seemed he had more questions rather than answer's. 'This is bullshit.'

While Alex waited for the right moment to come out of his hiding spot, Scarlett and Khalon were downstairs, waiting for him to 'wake up.'

Khalon, who was standing in front of Scarlett, grabbed her hand and brought her to a tight hug, his arms slowly wrapping themselves around her small waist. Back when he used to come and visit her, she had shown him that hugging in the human world meant showing affection towards someone or something; and Khalon was wanting to give her affection after so long. A small purring sound could be heard coming from within him indicating he was happy to be able to hold her once again. "I've mis'sed y'ou...Sch'arlet"

Scarlett wrapped her arms around his neck the best that she could and returned the hug. She had missed how his strong arms felt around her, keeping her close to his muscular body. She missed the beautiful purring sound that she had grown to love and had fallen asleep to whenever night time came around. She missed everything about him and although, he wasn't a teenager anymore, but a full grown adult, he was still the same Yautja she had fallen in love with years ago. She even missed his broken English. "I've missed you as well...Khalon"

Alex, not hearing anything coming from the two and feeling eager to meet whoever this was, took one last breath before walking down the remaining steps; immediately regretting his choice as he turned the corner the lead to the small living room.
Losing his trail of thoughts, he let out a horrifying scream that made his blood run cold. His eyes were wide open as if he had seen a ghost or better yet, a demon to be more exact. His mouth was open and noises were coming out of him as he was trying to put letters into words, his fist were closed and the nails were digging deeply into the palms of his hand. Alex felt as if he was about to faint once again, but he remained standing strong, not wanting to show fear or weak. Scarlett turned to look at their son, releasing her grip from him.

"W-what is that?!' Alex pushed himself to speak as he looked at the 7ft tall creature. "What the hell is that thing?!'

The creature was tall and looked pretty muscular, it had long black hair-like appendages on the side of it's head. It's skin looked dry and rough and was a pasty yellow color; similar to a reptile. It had a metal mask that seemed to be worn out due to the multiple cracks it had. It even had some sort of symbol burnt in the front of it. The creature wore a loincloth that covered its chest and lower abdomen and a full metal breastplate. On its left shoulder, it had what looked to be a cannon that was connected a device on its wrist. What stood out the most was that this creature looked somewhat human which to Alex was disturbing.

Scarlett turned to look at Khalon and could here a purring sound come from the yautja as he looked at their son as though he was mesmerized; she was 100% sure that he had been waiting for this day to happen and so as she. The day where Alex would be face to face with his biological father. She turned to look back at Alex and said "Alex...this is Khalon" she introduced.

"Well, ain't that a relive" Alex sarcastically said "But shouldn't we be running out the house and screaming bloody murder?" he suggested. Sure, the creature didn't seem to be a threat due to him just standing there and not coming at them like a wild animal, but Alex didn't want to take any chances, he wasn't quite sure what the creature or...Khalon was thinking.

Before Scarlett could say anything, Khalon began making his way towards their son. For so long he had been wanting to be face to face with him and seeing that his chance was there, he sure as hell wasn't going to let it slip by. Alex, seeing that Khalon was making his way towards him, could feel his heart throb against his chest as though he had been running a marathon, the palms of his hands were starting to sweat as he tighten his grip. "Hey...no need to get close now." Alex nervously chuckled. Khalon simply ignored him.

"He's not going to hurt you" Scarlett spoke as she too started to make her way towards them.
Once Khalon was close enough, he tilited his head to the side in confusion. "Why doesn't he remember me?" he thought as he looked into those perfect dark green moss eyes that were a complete replica of his.

Nervous with a hint of fright, was what Alex was feeling as he saw how Khalon was just staring at him. He looked into the half semi circles that were located in his odd looking mask, assuming that's where his eyes were, but saw nothing but darkness. He looked at the shoulder cannon he had on his left shoulder and nervously chuckled "W-what are you gonna do to me?" Alex shut his eyes closed as he saw Khalon bringing his hand up to his face, fearing he was either going to get killed.

Khalon slowly began caressing his right cheek, making Alex open his eye's slowly as he felt the reptilian like finger run across his soft flesh; a low purring sound could be heard come from within the creature. Confused by the sudden action, Alex gazed at his mother who was standing next to Khalon "What is he doing?" he asked "Is he preparing me for lunch?"

"Alex..." Khalon spoke in his mother tongue, knowing that Alex would understand him. He knew that once a yautja and a human had a child together, the child would be gifted with the knowledge of understanding the spoken language ;even if the child had never heard the language or never grew in a yautja community, they were bound to still know it.

Shocked by hearing his name being said in clicks and being able to understand it, he stumbled backwards "How the hell does he know my name?! And, how the hell can I understand what he said?!"

Scarlett, seeing that she couldn't lie to him any further, let out a small sigh and answered "Alex...your father never died."

"What does that gotta do with anything?" Alex interrupted "Plus, I don't think this is the right time to bring this up."

Scarlett continued "I had to lie to you about your father because I knew you would've never believed me if I were to tell you that..." she placed her hand on Khalon's muscular back "That he's your father."

The air in the room got tense, probably more tense than what it was before. Alex had this shocked, yet, confused look on his face as he threw glares at his mother and back at the creature, who happened to be his...father. "You're telling me that..." he pointed at Khalon "HE'S my father."

Scarlett cleared her throat and abstrusely said "I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth-hints, why you can understand what he says."

Alex nervously chuckled "What?" he glared at his mother and at his new found father "Your telling me that this...creature is my father?" he continued "That can't be possible, there's no way in hell i'm going to believe such thing!" Now, If she had told him that his father was alive and had abandon them or had left them for a different woman, he would've believed her more than being told that his father was alive and was a 7ft tall creature.

Scarlett spoke, defending Khalon who seemed rather confused by the whole situation, "I'm telling you the truth." although, she knew Khalon could understand what their child was saying, she felt it was her duty to defend him.

"Truth or not, I'm still not buying such shit" Alex said.

Now, Alex wasn't a stubborn person, especially when the facts were true but right now, even if what she was saying was true; that this humanoid creature from a different planet or universe named Khalon was his biological father, he still wasn't going to believe such thing; until he was given some sort of prove they were related, he was gonna remain stubborn.

Seeing that Alex was denying that he was indeed his father, Khalon grabbed his left wrist yanking it from his side and held it tight. Alex, of course being terrified by the sudden harsh action, stared to pull back, but had little to no affect due to how tight Khalon had his grip around his wrist. Figuring that no matter how much he pulled or yanked, Alex stopped seeing that this creature wasn't going to let go anytime soon; plus, due to Khalon's amazing strength, the last thing Alex wanted was to rip his own arm due to his yanking.

"Let me go!" Alex ordered "Mom, what is he doing?" he asked his mother who, too was confused by Khalon's action.

Khalon tilted his head to the side as he looked Alex's wrist as though he was slowly turning it around, examining it. A low snarl came from Khalon indicating he was a bit annoyed by his stubbornness, yet, again, he couldn't blame him cause he to was stubborn. He then turned his gaze back at Alex and looked into his green eyes. Alex felt shivers run down his spine as he made eye contacted with him.

"Forgive me for what I'm about to do" Khalon spoke ,alarming Alex. He then pulled out a dagger from the leather holster that was wrapped around his waist, bringing fear into Alex as he saw the sharp blade.

Scarlett, being alarmed by seeing the dagger, asked "Khalon, what are you doing?"

"This ain't funny man!" Alex shouted as he began pulling once again. Alex shut his eyes, not wanting to see what this creature was going to do to him.

Khalon looked at Scarlett "Don't worr'y...tru'st me" he turned his attention back at his squirming son and tighten his grip on his wrist, keeping him from moving any further. Without giving Alex a heads up or saying much, he ran the sharp edge of the cold blade across the palm of his left hand, making green liquid squeeze out from the fresh cut.

With one final yank, Alex retreaded his hand and said "What the freak man?" he began whipping the green blood on his sweatpants before beginning to lick the green substance.

Khalon did the same; he ran the dagger against the palm of his hand causing green blood to appear. He then looked at Alex and showed him his palm "We're related...whether you like it or not, I 'am your father."

Alex looked at his blood and back at his father's, seeing that their blood was indeed the same color. The strong neon green color that happened to be their blood, had always reminded Alex of a glow stick glowing in the dark due to how strong it stood out. And, as much as he didn't want to believe that this creature named, Khalon, was indeed his father, he couldn't ignore the facts, especially, when the facts were right in his face.

Alex closed his hand where the cut had been made and asked "So, this whole time, I wasn't sick?"

Scarlett stepped forward "No, you never been sick." she continued "Even when the doctors told you that you had sulfhemoglobinemia, I knew the truth; I just couldn't bring myself to tell you the truth."

Back when Alex was just a child, Scarlett had taken him to the doctors in order to get his vaccines for the upcoming school year; once there, the doctor wanted to take some blood samples in order to see if everything was under control, but once the first drop of blood appeared and the doctor noticed it was a green color, he concluded that the boy had a rare condition called Sulfhemoglobinemia in which the blood turned a green color. From there, Alex was given medication to which had no effect on him thanks to the type of DNA he carried; hell, it was and still is impossible for Alex to get sick.

Not knowing what to say or do, Alex said "It's alright mom..." he wasn't so sure how to feel about the situation, knowing that his father was indeed a creature from space and finding out that he had been lied to all these years. In someway he could understand his mother's reasoning to lie, but at the same time...he felt a little betrayed.

Now that everything was clear as day, Khalon let out a snarl as he remembered the reason why he had shown up to their home, sure it was to see them, but he also needed to tell them about the r'kas. He looked at Scarlett and spoke "Yo'u two nee'd to ge't out of he're"

Scarlett looked at Khalon, so did Alex, and bewilderedly asked "Get out of here? Why is that?"

Alex, not wanting to start asking questions about them and seeing that it wasn't the right time to do so, said "Yeah...why is that?" the least he could do was listen to what his father had to say.

Kahlon the began punching a couple of buttons on his wrist gauntler, making a small red hologram appear;the hologram showed building structures that were somewhat familiar to both Alex and Scarlett and then it clicked. The hologram was representing a map of the town they lived in.

Alex, stunt by the technology his father possessed, looked at the hologram in awe "Jesus Christ..." sure, the buildings that were represented by the hologram were just 3D rectangules that didn't show a lot of detail, but Alex knew this place by heart. "Seems like your race is WAY ahead of our time."

Khalon then typed in a code that lead them to the entrance of the cave where him and his fellow companions were earlier and said "Kiande Amedha"

"Xenomorphs" Scarlett said, remembering the term that she had learned while her time in Yautja Prime. "That means that there might be a queen."

Khalon nodded his head 'yes.' he shut the hologram off and said "yo'u must leave no'w" he ordered as grabbedd both Alex and Scarlett's hands and began making his way towards the door. Scarlett yanked her hand away from his, causing Khalon to stop his trace and releasing Alex, who was confused by pretty much everything.

"We can't just leave everyone behind. We need to tell them before it's too late." Scarlett said, not wanting to leave everyone to die in a horrible fate. She knew damn well what those creatures could do to people and she for one wasn't going to let that happen.

Khalon, seeing that his mate wasn't understanding the situation, said "We hav'e no time...I wan't yo'u two to be safe..." honestly, he didn't care much about the other humans as much as he cared for both of them. The people in this town could die a horrible death and he wouldn't mind it one bit, either way, if things were to get out of hand, he could always sent off an explosion, wiping both human and xenomorps away.

Scarlett, being the type to always look after others, said "Khalon, we can't just leave them to die...we both know that if the xenomorphs find a way out of that cave we'll be in trouble."

Khalon looked at her and said "If thin'gs go wrong..." he pointed at his wrist gauntler "I'll mak'e su're ooman's and r'ka are ext'ermin'ated."

"Well, aren't you a funny one." Scarlett sarcasticlly said as he rolled her light brown eyes.

Alex, seeing his parents talking, cleared his throat, grabbing both of their attention and said "Before we go and do whatever we're gonna do, can one of you tell me what the hell is a xenomorph?"

"There's no time to explain. We have to go before things get out of hand." He then looked back at Scarlett and said " Fine...we'll te'll oomans about r'ka...as lon'g as yo'u two leav'e"

"And we will...thank you Khalon." Scarlett said. She knew Khalon wasn't a bad Yautja, but sometimes he needed a little convincing before he could make up his mind.

Khalon looked back at Alex and said "Your mother can tell you along the way, she knows what they are." he opened the door and cloaked himself, going completely invisible. He didn't want to alarm any humans that were lurking by. He stepped outside and waited for Alex and Scarlett to follow behind.

Scarlett looked at Alex and said "I know everything is happening to fast, but I promise we'll explain everything later" she reached out to grab Alex's right hand, grabbing it and giving it a gentle squeeze.
Alex looked at his left hand were the cut had been made and sighed. Today had been a crazy day, not only did he found out that his father was this humanoid creature, but that there was something else out there that needed to be exterminated; and judging by the weapons that his father possessed, he could tell that whatever it was, was dangerous and deadly.

"Alright...let's just go and see what we can do to help." he said with a weak smile. Alex wasn't so sure what was gonna happen, but he could easily say that it was gonna be a long night.

Remember Bold words mean that Khalon is talking in his native language
