So I think I got my sleep schedule under control now, and by that I mean I stayed up all night. I feel like shit, but gotta do something or I'll want to sleep badly.

Chapter 3:An Unlikely Friend

It had been 2 years after the attack. After the events that took place on the first day, I just walked around aimlessly, sunk into a deep depression. I couldn't take it much longer, I was clinging on to life, with a part of me wanting to live, while the other just wanted to end it no matter what. I entered a house, in search of food, or ammo, as more of the creatures that killed my family had attacked me, and a few times, another type attacked me as well. They were 10 feet tall and extremely strong as I've seen them pick up people with one hand without even trying it looked like. I was scavenging for a few minutes, when I heard a noise in what I think was a bedroom. I walked towards to see a shimmering figure, like when you are able to see the air when it's a really hot day. I knew what it was though in front of me, as I have seen them do this before. It began to uncloak, and my fears and hopes were confirmed. I couldn't run, it would easily catch up to me, and I couldn't fight, as I was out of ammo and had no ammo, and punching it was out of the question, I would probably break my knuckles on it's armored face. I was dead one way or another, and I accepted it.

"Well come on! Kill me already! End it!" I screamed. This was it, I felt happy, yet scared of what's on the other side. It just stared at me. I remembered something, they don't kill someone, unless they have a weapon, there's no sport if they can't fight back. I drew my gun, hoping it would react to weapon in it's face. It was empty, but hopefully I could bluff it. It immediately grabbed my wrist and took the gun, it then broke it, and punched me, knocking me out.

"Uhhhhh." I said groggily as I woke up. "Where am I?"

"Your on my ship." A feminine voice said, I got up and looked around to see 10 foot high creature.

"How can I understand you? And why didn't you kill me?" I said. This was extremely odd.

"I had a translator implanted in you, and you didn't pose a threat, just an annoyance." It or she said, as it sounded a lot like a female.

"Please, kill me. I can't take it anymore, just kill me." I begged. I was hoping for an end before I blacked out, and still was. My family was dead, I was nothing.

"Why do you wish to die so much?" She said.

"Because the day you assholes came here, my wife and child was killed by those monsters! I am nothing without them, I want to be with them again." I said bleakly.

She just stared at me after I said those words. "I am sorry for your loss. I too have lost my husband and pup. I share your pain."

"Do you!? Do you know the pain of having to kill your child, in order for them to not die a painful and gruesome death, and promise your spouse in her their dying moments that you would get him back safely?! No you don't." I screamed. I was losing it.

"You have no right to say that ooman!" She raised her voice.

"What're gonna do?! Kill me? Do it! Just fucking do it already!"

"AAHHHHHH!" She roared. She proceeded to throw a skull of some sort directly next to my head, hitting the wall behind me, shattering. "I know what it is like to lose your loved ones. I know what it is like to put your pup out of their misery. I know what it is like to see your mates life drain from their eyes. I know what it is like to lose everything you hold dear." She said. She still steamed with anger, but she was calming down.

I began to sob, I didn't know anymore. I wasn't sure if I wanted to die or live, wither in misery or survive and prosper. "Why am I here, on your ship?"

"Because you have a fighting spirit, I can tell. You wanna die, but you wanna live through this and fight until the bitter end. I respect that with all you have been through."

"So what do you plan on doing with me then?"

"Two things, one, you will stay with me on this ship, and we will kill all of those who killed your family and mine. We will take back this planet, and see if we can't attempt to coexist if we survive. You are a weak species, I will say that, but many of you risk your lives for those you care about, among other things. My kind and I respect that deeply, that you, one of the weakest species on this planet risks your lives for those you care about when you face a much more powerful foe. Like you did with your pup."

"And the second thing?"

"This." She walked up to me, taking off her mask, revealing a grotesque face. She went up to me and planted what I could assume was the equivalent of a kiss. Her mandibles gently brushed my face, as I stood there in shock to what was happening. I began to go with it, as it felt nice. We kept on playing with each others tongues, with hers tasting like spices. She had a snake like one, much longer and thinner than mine. We stood there kissing for an eternity, until she finally stopped. She began to walk towards a door that opened automatically, showing what looked like a bed behind her, with her shaking her hips seductively. She disappeared as the door closed. 'She knows what it is like to lose those she loves. She may help me kill those monsters who took my family away. She may be my only redemption in my life. I love her.' I thought as I walked to the room she went in.
