The Lost Warrior

by Epicness1000

Humans are killing my species to extinction. I and another xenomorph are the last ones. The last hive has been destroyed, our mother is dead, and we have to fight for our survival, even if it means going against our instinct and creating a bond. Either way, our species are doomed... (please review).

1. My Birth

I still remember it all- the raging explosions, the needless deaths, the merciless humans.

Oops! I think I may have fast forwarded a bit!

Well, maybe we should start at my birth.

Yes. That would be just right.

I was located within my host, surrounded by flesh. I was quite large, and could barely move, except for the occasional twitch in my long, curved tail. I could hear the beating heart of my host which was louder than thunder, and their blood pumping around their body. It was rather peaceful for the time being, but that peace wouldn't last long.

I didn't want to be crushed up like this. I wanted to see the world!

I began to gnaw at the soft, fleshy material surrounding me. As I tore through it, the strange red liquid known as blood began to gush onto my snout, staining my serrated silver teeth a dark crimson colour. I heard a bloodcurdling screaming coming from whatever I was inside. I had no idea what was going on, and was a curious little chap, so I burrowed through the strange material even faster, almost as if my life depended on it. I needed to know if there was more to life than being secluded in a dark, gloomy, damp place.

I finally thrust my head through what seemed to be the soft, tender skin of my host. There was a 'crack', as I ripped through it all. I saw light for the first time- well, since I don't have eyes, a more appropriate world would be sensed. We xenomorphs have a strange way of seeing our surroundings- we feel their existence.

I flinched when the light shone onto my body, even if the planet I was on was dull, it had more light that were I had been previously located. I lay in a pool of blood. I looked around, realising that I was on the mangled corpse of a creature I was not familiar with- your species, the humans, also known as Homo Sapiens.

Other living humans were watching me, with shock and terror in their strange eyes. I took in my surroundings- I was on a grey, windy planet, with a nearby den, which I strangely felt attracted to.

The humans watched me in horror, staring at what they would describe as my ghastly, pink, elongated body. I twitched my tiny little arms, and squeaked in fear, as I knew the humans wanted to kill me, but were too shocked to move.

I didn't want to die, not yet at least, so I quickly wriggled away, shooting towards the den which I felt drawn to. The humans didn't chase after me, but I didn't stop. I rushed into the den.
