Im I Really alone?
"So let me get this straight: your former teacher decided to let lose a horde of vicious aliens on Earth because humanity was deemed not worthy too move on?" I gave him a look of disbelieve. He looked back with a perplexed look. "Yes, my teacher is an elder now...He has become, in the Ooman sense…crazy…It is now my duty as his best student to bring him down. He's now considered a bad blood for doing this as it wasn't authorized by any of the high counsel." I frowned really ticked off "This is complete and utter bull shit!" I threw a rock at the wall.
He sighed in the alien way before putting a hand on my shoulder as he shook his head and his hair swishing from side to side. "Being angry about it now will do you no good and it will only cloud your judgment in battle." I toke a loud deep breath. "Okay fine…but tell me about you while we wait for sundown"
He sat back down on a bolder. "Okay Ooman tell me what you want to know." I leaned against the wall. Many people would kill for this chance but given that this wasn't some fantasy in a person's mind I started off with the most normal of questions. "So how old are you anyway? And how many kids do you have? Oh and what do you like besides hunting? Oh and um…why exactly why are you so dame calm about this?" He held his hands up for me to stop.
"Okay sorry your right too many questions at once." I went quiet. He waited a moment before answering me. "In your years I would be roughly seven hundred years old." He chuckled at the look on my face. Dame he looks good for seven hundred…okay no naughty thoughts about old guy. I smiled at the thought in my head but said; "Continue please." He continued, "Actually, I have only sired 3 pups so far. Before you ask, I just haven't felt the need to mate like other hunters of my tribe." I raise a brow at him but resisting the urge to push him about it."And the answer to both your other questions: I read a lot as well as hunt. My intellectual combat matches that of my fighting skills. I believe that the right mind coupled with that of a strong disciplined body can make the best of hunters."
After that I let that sink in. A hunter who uses his brain? No wonder he was the best of his students. I asked some more before I got to the most obvious. "So how come you know English so well and you know how to speak it. It sounds rather weird when you do but I can still understand you clearly when you do not have lips to be able to speak words."
He nodded, "Well to answer that question would be like stating why you are fascinated by looking at the stars. You are a different race from a different planet and so different from me. I head to learn more about your planet, especially since I knew I would be hunting here. I could observe how you humans function and would make for picking out the best hunts here as well."
Just as I was about to nod off he asked a question. "How come you were out there, by yourself? You obviously weren't afraid to charge a Xenomorph." I gave him a look, then shrugged, "The world is ending. What more reason do I need? My family is gone, my friends might be dead and I predicted how the world will end. I figured since I know what to do I could take as many as those bastards with me as possible before I bite the dust. And it'll be a cold day in hell before I let them drag me off to make offspring." I huffed. "I want justice. I want to prove that humanity still has a chance. I don't know who to prove it to, maybe to prove it to myself but at least I won't be hiding, too scared to do anything or to even help."
"That is a noble cause, now it's time to answer the other question I have. I have never met or talked face to face with an Ooman before. I am curious. How old are you? And well the same questions you asked me." He asked looking at me in a way that reminded me of scientists that look down at lab rats.
"Im eighteen years old, I've never had kids and would have liked to had kids someday, but considering the recent events that's not going to happen. I…"I trailed off with a blush. I didn't realize this question was that personal" Um... I haven't mated with anyone before" I mumbled but the inquisitive look he gave me told me he heard me." Um will I like to read too and I write and I sing as a hobby but right now singing wouldn't be very productive in killing." I chuckled as I thought of broken ear drums. "You will find a worthy mate eventually; he would have to be worthy to have made it through the end of your world." He gave me a reassuring look. "Aww thanks but this whole afterschool special feel of this convo is weirding me the fuck out." I said with a laugh.
Then I stopped because I heard talking and footsteps coming from our left. I quickly grabbed my weapon of choice and got into a fighting stance." Shhhhh I thought I heard talking. Is anyone there?" "Wait I know that voice." Justice, that you?" he walked around the corner with our spiky haired friend Shaun." Shaun… How? Where have you guys been?" He then noticed Rav'us" What the fuck is that?" he had a metal bat with him." Shhhhh! Keep your voice down Justice. This is Rav'us and he's a friendly alien, like the good guys" He looked at him warily." You sure?" I huffed. "yeah im sure. Rest man." They slumped against the wall. "So what happened to our friends?" I asked even though im pretty sure of the answer." They're died. I…I had to kill this guy...those things…" Shaun shivered. "Yeah I know all about it old friend."
I let them rest before asking them how they got here. They had each met up while hiding in an abandoned minivan and Shaun had known about the caves from mountain climbing with his dad. "So you didn't encounter any Xenos on your way here?" They shook their heads. "Strange isn't it? I mean they would have caught your scent. "No they wouldn't have, it's been raining outside. The militaries around the world are going frantic. There's talk of nuking the major cities to flush them out." Shaun spoke up. My eyes went wide" No Way! What about all the people still left alive but are in hiding?"
Rav'us choose to speak up then "It makes sense, no matter how you may not like the decision. It is the most logical. To protect the others one must do the unthinkable. All you can do is mourn the lost and hope they make it to the never ending hunt of Centau. Hope that they were honorable to the very end and move on to keep on fighting. Thank Paya that there was only one hive dropped in North America. We find the queen and destroy the rest should be easy to annihilate." "Right and find where this teacher of yours is as well as find survivors and make sure they know how to kill those things." Justice looked over to me and Rav'us" You guys sure are close" "Ahh well the end of the world doesn't make you picky when you need company to talk to, besides he's not so bad."
"Okay well we need to get some rest, Shaun and Justice your on watch for a few hours. If any of you guys fuck up you won't have just the big guy to worry about. I'll be after your hide as well." With that I closed my eyes and wondered how my life will turn out next. Now I know im not alone anymore, at least I have people to fight with now. That is more than I can ask for because we all know fate can be one crazy bitch.
