Transition
3 days later…
She made a mad dash from one set of old mossy green bins to another and then finally to the ajar doors once more with her newest friend inside checking the place for her. She was rather happy that he was there to help her, although they had a small fight about how he should go and leave her in the safety of her confines, but she managed to convince him otherwise.
She couldn't believe her luck, befriending a Xeno of the Hive, a high ranking one at that. She'd figured he was mostly curious about her ways of living and such as she'd managed to figure out half of his life story in no time flat. He was a restless killing machine which also loved his prey in more than just food wise, and of course at her offers to stay with her he took and stayed ever since which she was happy for. It was much more fun with such a stealthy comrade and protector.
At a gentle rap on the door she entered quickly and looked about herself, just in case and then made a bee line for the tinned foods once again. She filled her bag with peaches, water, beans and some chili con Carney? She hadn't seen that one before, oh well, it was worth a try. She stuffed two tins of it in the bag and quickly filled it with other supplies such as some left over toilet paper and then flipped it onto her back to which she almost buckled at the added weight but steadied herself.
Number Six hissed at her and motioned with his head that if she was done they'd best get going. He'd sworn to himself that he would protect her with everything he had, but he didn't want to risk running into someone he knew just in case they set off a roar to signal defiance and he'd be hunted as well as her. No, he'd still fight for her but that didn't mean he'd like it.
She approached with a smile and he quickly gathered her up into his arms which had the smile fading to be replaced with a look of surprise. That face then changed to one of determination.
"Alright, back to my place to gather up the rest of my things and then up to yours." She said with a small smile.
He grunted and moved quickly across the terra with the girl in his arms and made a jump at the vent, he quickly navigated to his own place and set her down on the goopy substance of his abode.
"Uhh, what're you doing?" She asked with a confused expression.
He pointed at her, signaling for her to stay and moved to go and get her things quickly when she grabbed his arm.
"Wait." She said as she walked the rest of the way to quickly hold him for a moment, showing her appreciation to his actions for her. "Thank you." She said simply then stepped away to let him go.
He looked back at her with a smirk of sorts and hissed at her gently before darting out and into the vents.

Sam looked about herself, he adapted it a small amount for her. The floor may have been goopy, but he managed to make a large bed in a corner for her with all of her things piled up and everywhere, obviously left for her to sort out. She loved how spacious his space was, and to think he'd done all of this for her.
She'd decided long ago that she'd need to repay him, with thanks just wasn't enough for the risk he was taking by being with her.
She wanted to thank him for helping her with finding essentials such as the camping gas fire which she used to heat up her tins of beans and such, he'd also found her more rags and other tins of food which he refused to tell where he got from which made her almost pissed off at him, but she couldn't really blame him for having secrets, after all this was his territory now. Maybe it was somewhere dangerous? Hmm. Oh, the best thing that he'd done for her was took her to some showers, now she'd, at first, been offended with his implication but thanked him none the less and not to mention she'd caught him glancing at her a few times probably out of curiosity but she didn't know.
Man, if he was of her species, she'd marry him. He provided for her even though he had so much to worry about.
She looked down at her hands a moment before moving up to her corner and sorting out her stacks of things in her baskets. She took everything out and stacked the two baskets on top of each other before placing the radio on top and then sorting the rest out.
She looked up at the sound of the hatch which he'd worked his cocoon into open and smiled as she saw him walk in with some rags in his mouth pulled into a sort of carry on with some more of her stuff in it and closed the hatch quickly before moving to her.
"Was there any trouble?" She asked, he shook his head and dropped the cloth containing a few thing's gently to the ground and panted.
She giggled at him and continued to sort out her space quickly.
After she was finished, she motioned for him to go to her and she had him lay his head in her lap, his head dwarfing her lap. She gently stroked the smooth carapace and almost flinched when she noticed a deep gash on the side of his head. She frowned and leaned forward to inspect it better. It looked old, so she figured he'd gotten it in the past. Speaking of which, she'd already seen it once before, she just panicked for him she guessed.
She gulped gently, still not knowing how to repay him for allowing her to stay in his protection and offering it to her in first place. She continued to stroke his head thoughtfully and could only come up with one thing that she did have which she wouldn't really be able to give to any other now that her race had died out on that particular planet.
She looked down to his body, noting that he was in fact on his side and looked lower, wondering if she could see some form of sex organ on him. She had to confirm that he could in fact do stuff like that or she'd be rather embarrassed on her part. She saw nothing and decided to just try and seduce the hell out of him instead since that seemed to be the more probable idea.
She moved her hand down the carapace and down to his back where he had protruding bones of sorts. She gripped one of the four and gently caressed it while being careful not to hurt him in any way. She slowly moved her hand down his back once again, caressing the obvious bones that protruded on his hip and slowly moved her hand back up toward the dip of his stomach.
She was startled when a hand came up and grasped her own and looked to the head to see if he was gnashing his mouth at her, to her surprise he wasn't and she looked to her hand which was held in a firm but gentle grip and watched as he let it go and got up to sit on his haunches.
He watched her carefully, looking for what she wanted from him. He knew she was in a state of arousal, her scent gave that away, but he didn't want to just take her and then that be it, he wanted some sort of commitment. He felt like a woman at that point.
He hissed at her as he rose slightly, leaning over her legs and gently butted her with his massive head to have her lay down for him. When she did, he mounted her and sat directly on her crotch area showing that he knew what she wanted and was willing to give it.
She gulped audibly that time and reached a hand up to his head and stroked gently, she then moved her other hand up to caress the side and did so with both hands to sooth his worries somewhat. She leaned her head forward and touched his forehead with her own as a sign of affection.
He instantly nuzzled his head against hers at her sign of affection and ran his wet lips up her cheek, hissing all the way before tipping his head to her nose.
She smiled at this and leaned forward and nuzzled him back, knowing what it meant by then. She then pulled back slightly and kissed his head gently before kissing his dripping lips. And although she shuddered at the gross feeling of saliva dripping from his mouth and leaving a silver trail of string to follow, she decided she kind of liked the feeling. He felt silky soft against her lips and she wasn't going to let that feeling, no matter what others might have thought, get away.
He felt his body tense up at the immense heat that shot up his spine and straight to his groin. She was about to discover the crazy amounts of pleasure he was able to give, but he had to slow himself down. He didn't want to scare her away, after all, his looks as they were without the raging hard on were rather scary, and from what he'd seen about the male humans, he knew they were nothing compared to his species. He had to wonder why the Xenomorph race was in fact so big that it was mentally, even for them, frightening.
He was brought out of his thoughts by a small delicate hand trailing up his ribcage and up again towards his throat, and then back down. He gave a heated sigh, his own version coming out as a huff, and leaned into her more, his massive body towering and almost caging her. His long arms played with the strands of dark brown which flittered across the rags which he'd put out for her, and he hissed in satisfaction, knowing that he was the one providing this for her.
Sam was rather annoyed at her body's reactions. Her state of arousal was mainly due to his just being up close to her, touch wouldn't have been necessary.
Her eyes widened as she felt something wet leak into and from her dirty and ripped from all ends, trousers, and she made the mistake of looking down at their bodies. Her face contorted into one of pure horror at the mere size of him, and when she looked up at him, being the predator he was, knowing that he knew that he had that affect on her, she gulped and watched his every move.
He could smell the fear, it radiated off of her in waves, deliciously erotic was the position and the tension in the room was so massive, he was sure that he could have cut through it with his tail. He gave a very alien like sigh and moved off of her.
He sat on his haunches about half a foot away from her and looked at her with his head bowed, a sign he knew was of submission. He was sure that she knew that particular pose by now, since she'd been chatting and such, displaying things to him herself.
She felt tears form in her eyes as he moved off of her. Were they from relief? She had no clue, but she knew that he wouldn't actually hurt her. And right then, when he was sitting there, she looked at his full length and took in a shuddering breath. She looked up at him, an apology in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." She said quietly as a lone tear left her left eye.
He moved in closer to her and nuzzled the side of her face, showing that it was okay. He was happy when she placed a hand on his head, and then moved that one to the side of his face and the other hand to the other side. He was pulled to her gently, and he accepted. He stepped over her and curled up to her right side; he then enveloped her in his arms and wrapped his tail around her to keep her warm out of habit.
She sniffled gently and moved into his chest, snuggling into his warm embrace. She really couldn't believe her own darn luck, finding a Xeno that was accepting of her kind and one who knew how to be loving and make her feel wanted. She loved the way he protected her, such a sneaky guy. But she had to wonder, would he feel the same tomorrow? Would he get bored and possibly hand her over to the Queen? She wasn't sure, but she was going to enjoy every last moment she spent with him, no doubt about that.

She awoke a few hours later, warm and aroused from her dream of the two going further than they actually had. She blushed at her own thoughts and tried to sit up, only to be stopped by an alien arm that held her down.
Six hissed at her, telling her to lie down and ran his hand up her side gently.
She looked up at him from her position on his arm and glared at him, which eventually turned into a playful one. She felt her heart hammer gently against her chest at the feel of Six's own rib cage against hers. She blushed and tapped at his ribs gently, playing a dull tune against the "flesh" of her new lover-
She did a double take on that thought. Lover, was that what she considered him to be? Maybe the age of loneliness was what caused it to happen? Hardly; she'd been fine without a man for the longest of time, even when she felt "the need" like she sometimes had, and she'd just taken care of it herself.
She shuddered inwardly at the thought of having to go back to basics and looked up at her savior; such a dark and mysterious figure. Who would have thought that she, of all people, would fall in love with a killer alien? Many would say it was stupid, selfish and impossible. So why was she seeing herself being with him in the future as well as being with him then and there? It didn't seem so stupid to her; she was witnessing a caring form of Xenomorph, something that hadn't been seen before and she loved it. She felt that he was the only thing that was pulling her towards her remaining sanity and keeping her there, as bizarre as it sounded to others.
She couldn't help but smile at that thought and nuzzled into his ribs gently, which hurt her head somewhat, but it was an okay pain as far as she was concerned.
Six felt a little startled at her sudden display of affection, but kept a hold of her, his hold tightened gently but nothing more happened, he couldn't help but to gently pull back his head to look at her, wondering what had set her off. He sniffed at her, felt her with his wet lips, found no temperature and sneezed in a doggish manner.
She stifled a giggle at his antics and pulled back to look at him herself, to look at his body. She noticed his tail swishing playfully behind him and smiled.
"You're a strange one, Six." She told him with an amused tone. "Very strange."
Six hissed at her playfully and got up quickly, showing her his true capabilities of movement. He attached himself to the wall and crawled up onto the ceiling, hissing and showing her his razor sharp teeth and maw.
Her eyes widened and her heart hammered against her chest as she felt slightly fear at the animalistic pose he had taken. She'd had bad encounters with a few Xeno's who'd stuck themselves to the walls and ceiling to attack her viciously. The last time she was a victim, she'd gotten away with a nasty scratch down her back, but had gotten away, for the most part, unscathed.
At the feeling of a tail blade resting on her cheek, she flinched and tried to back away into the rags beneath her but only succeeded in trapping herself further.
Six sprung from the ceiling like a jungle cat would from a branch and landed on all fours. He then moved to Sam's side and hissed gently before sitting back on his haunches to watch her.
She yelped at the jump and backed away once more, that time moving back against a wall rather than into the rags. She knocked into the crates and inevitably knocked the picture of her mother and herself.
She heard the crack of the once untainted glass and looked to the photo; a large crack flew through the middle of herself and her mother. It looked just as she felt, separated and unable to reach what she deemed as important.
She felt tears form as she picked up the picture and examined it; she ran her finger along the rough line that formed from her clumsiness.
Six hissed at her in curiosity from his sitting position, not moving at all to show that he wouldn't hurt her. He hated it when he smelt fear on her from his stupid body language and he knew that he couldn't really blame her. His appearance alone was something that could startle anybody, let alone his hissing and gnashing of teeth.
He realized then that his way of playing may have been taken as a hostile appearance instead, which must have startled and scared her.
She gulped as she looked at the reflection of the Xeno she was staying with and looked up at him, her expression one of sadness. Tears fell freely down to her chin and gathered to form one big drop which dropped onto her leg to form a small wet spot.
Six approached her gently, his head bowed at her. He stopped right in front of her and breathed onto her face, some of her bangs spilling around her face.
She gulped and dropped the picture before launching herself at the unsuspecting alien, her arms winding straight around his neck in a desperate embrace as hushed sobs escaped her quivering lips. She held on to him tightly, her face buried in his neck and gently snuggling into it.
He was confused beyond belief. Wasn't she just scared of him? Human emotions were so strange, moving from one feeling to another in the amount of time it took for him to whip his tail at prey and kill it.
"I love you, please don't leave me." She said gently and wondered if he would actually understand her words. She sniffled and pulled back gently while cupping his face in her hands, her head craning to look up at him even in his crouched form. Her hair fell in gentle waves down her back and curled at the ends to accentuate her arched back.
Six wrapped his arms around her instantly and stroked her back comfortingly, knowing that she wanted some from him. He glanced at the small picture, its sleek glass frame glinting gently in the darkness of his quarters.
He picked her up and quickly deposited her onto her bed before gently prying himself away from her. He had her loosen her arms first before hovering over her body on all fours. He leaned down and gave her what he hoped was a kiss and moved to the makeshift door of his quarters.
She sat up and looked at him in slight panic.
"Where are you going?" She asked with worry laced in her voice.
Six turned his head and nodded at her before hissing gently.
He had a call from his Queen and would have to answer for her not to get suspicious. He quickly turned and moved out of the room, closing the "door" behind him as he went.

Sam had no idea why he had to leave so suddenly, but she guessed it was important since he didn't leave for just anything. She sighed in defeat and lied herself back down while grabbing at her other rag which she used as a blanket, although she'd guessed she wouldn't need it in the warm atmosphere, she'd put it over herself just in case. Besides, it smelt of Six which was a comforting gesture in itself.
She looked to the radio on top of the crates and rolled her eyes at it, noting its uselessness once again and remembered her reason for keeping it in the first place. She then looked to her picture and took a hold of it, she then held it to her chest and hoped to all of the heavens that her black knight would come back to keep her safe.

Six scuttled through the vents, his motions hurried and agile. He dodged many of his brothers in an attempt to get to his Queen faster to prove his loyalty. Lucky enough, he was nested quite close to the Queen, and situated himself upon the wall of the entrance, awaiting confirmation for his and his other brother's arrival.
At a resounding hiss, he moved into the nest and rested his eyes upon the biggest of them all. His Queen, his deity, and his one true l- not anymore; he'd given away that last piece of himself to another, a human girl, his human girl.
He deemed her his, and deemed himself hers and that was something the Queen would never forgive if she were to find out. He'd more than likely be banished from the Hive, and the girl, she'd be a host for one of their new brothers and sisters. He wouldn't let that happen without a fight though, he was sure of that. Nothing would stand in his way, especially if she was in any kind of trouble.
His Queen gave a mighty roar and all Xenomorphs bowed their heads to her mass before backing into the walls. For some reason or another, she was pissed.
He looked up at his Queen, and being one of her right hand men, hissed to ask of her troubles. He received an answer immediately; she was concerned with some humans that landed their ships, not ship like the first encounter, but ships, about five of them.
He contemplated the fact that humans were docked on their turf and hissed to ask why it was a problem. There were, in fact, thousands of his brethren; no doubt they could take this army out with no problem.
The Queen had other ideas. She was having a hard time accepting that those humans, although so less strong, were armed and dangerous, with bigger weapons and much bigger air ships. She could only guess there were thousands of them also; not counting any others that may decide to show up at any time.
She looked about her nest and hissed in disappointment, she loved all of her children dearly and wished not for any of them to get killed. It was a sad day when she lost one of her boys, especially one she considered to be at a high rank and made her proud.
She hung her crowned head and ordered them to fight to protect themselves and her, no matter the consequences. She also ordered that they not worry if she died and to carry on as normal, since it was, after all, a life cycle. She had no doubts that she'd be replaced in no time, she could already see many who were capable of being a leader.
Six sensed his Queens distress and moved quickly to perch himself upon her shoulder to rub his head comfortingly against her massive head. Others joined in with him, following his step and giving their Queen nuzzles to show their appreciation, and then they all dispersed, bar Six who stayed with her. He continued to nuzzle her, making sure she felt his appreciation.
The Queen leaned her head in his direction and hissed at him that he was free to go, but when he didn't she had to ask him whether he was feeling alright as he was normally the first one out to kill the humans. She paused her thoughts. Was he the one who was seen with that human girl? She hadn't had anyone keeping tabs as she'd had reports of a Xeno chasing her across the place and holding her at some point, she'd assumed that she'd gotten away, but it all seemed to pull together.
She hissed that she knew his little secret and moved her head to look away from him.
Six stopped abruptly, his body freezing into an imitation of a statue.
She gave a sigh and turned her head to him again. She hissed that she hoped that she was locked up somewhere secure, making sure that she was safe because if she'd gotten a hold of her, then the girl would be dead.
Six hissed and moved back away from her, his teeth bared and his body crouching into a sort of pounce.
She gave something of a chuckle at the display before hissing whether he was seriously challenging her over some human girl.
Six hissed his approval of her question; he was in fact challenging her. If going against his Queen was something he had to do to protect her then that was what he would do.
Again, the Queen chuckled at his antics. She offered for him to go back to her and to protect her at all costs, stating that she didn't mind that his loyalties were to someone not of the Hive. She was certain that her last day had come, and that was her last wish of Six since he'd served her well over the years. She hissed a heartfelt; take care of yourself and her, before sending him off with a vicious hiss.
She basically told him to fuck off before she changed her mind.
He jumped off of her quickly and moved to the exit, he paused and looked back at his Queen.
She watched him from her ascended place and nodded her head for him to go with a hiss to all of the other Xenomorphs to avoid hurting anyone that was with Six.
He gave a thankful hiss before moving away and into the darkness of the vents, his form a black blur against the matte grey of the metal above and below himself.

Sam had closed her eyes in the midst of her waiting for Six to come back and was gently falling into a state of slumber when she felt the presence of an intruder. Of course, her eyes snapped open but she remained where she was, she was hoping that it was all just some state of imagination and that it was in fact Six. She turned, slowly, hoping that whoever it was wouldn't be able to see her in the darkness of the room. When her gaze met drooling lips and bared teeth she let out a soundless scream, her world went blurry and her skin turned a pasty white.
Her heart thudded against her rib cage at the mere thought of another Xenomorph being in the room, and actually seeing another one had her wanting to sob and cry for her life. She closed her eyes tight, much like she had when Six had her in his arms and prayed that maybe that same Xeno would come to her aid.
Her prayers must have been heard as she was forced to open her eyes as another presence was in the room, her very own partner; Six. A sigh of relief almost left her lips, almost.
She watched as the intruder turned to Six and hissed at him while nodding in her direction, she guessed they were discussing why she was there.
Six answered him with a hiss which had the other looking back at her and watched as she flinched away when the stranger approached her, sniffing at her from a distance. He hissed in warning only to receive one back in a response.
The stranger was curious, very much how Six had been. He had to wonder why Six had chosen a human girl over their Queen, he was quite old fashioned being number two and all. He moved in closer, his breath brushing against her left cheek as she'd turned her head. He could smell it, Six was courting her.
He looked to Six and slinked to him, almost menacingly.
Six got into a fighting stance instinctively and watched his opponent carefully.
Two sat on his haunches a bit ways from Six and hissed at him in question. He was curious of Six's intentions for her, although it was quite obvious due to her scent.
Six just answered with it being none of his business and asked if the Xeno was staying for a while or leaving. He was answered with his counterpart staying and shut the door to his quarters quickly before moving to Sam.
She quickly scrambled to her feet and moved back away; catching herself on the rags and falling flat on her rump and hit her head against the wall in a most unpleasant way. She closed her eyes and held her head with a pained expression.
Two did the alien equivalent of a laugh and quickly fell to his side, amused at the human's antics. He also found the fact that she was scared of Six quite funny since she was apparently being courted by him.
Six looked back at him with a hiss and then turned his head to Sam who was cowering up against the wall. He cocked his head at her and watched as she calmed slightly. Ah, she couldn't distinguish which of the two was which; she'd assumed he was Two. He hissed at her and moved forward to nuzzle his head against her chest, unashamed to do it in front if his brother.
Sam calmed herself as she gently stroked the carapace of her partner in a relieved sort of way.
"Hi." She said gently with a smile.
He nuzzled under her chin and allowed his saliva to trail up her throat and chin to her cheek in a sloppy sort of kiss. He hissed in a satisfied manner when she giggled at him and gently allowed his maw to leave his jaws to gently nibble on her chin sensually.
She gave a small gasp and pushed him away gently. She held him at arm's length, which didn't really do much good, but he did pull his head away which she was thankful for. She smiled at him apologetically before looking to the other "guest" in the room and then back to him.
He nodded at her in understanding and gave her a wet kiss straight on her lips, and then pulled away to face his brother. He hissed at him before moving to pounce on him, playing with him roughly.
She blinked as she watched the two played with each other, her head tilting as she watched the display as the two bit at each other, thrusted their tongues at each other menacingly and then wrestling on the floor. She giggled at one point at Six being pinned down by Two; but she had to blush when Six had Two pinned beneath him on his hands and knees, Six's tail coming up and wrapping around one arm of Two's, showing his reign of dominance.
She felt heat rush through her groin at the sight of Six's backside in the air, giving her a full display of his- She stopped her train of through before it could go any further.
She quickly got under the rag she once been under and covered herself, including her head in the piece of cloth and instantly regretted doing so as she could smell Six once again, and that turned her on even more. She gave up and moved the cover from her head to look at the wall which was covered in a secreted resin and studied the solids of it.
Six smelt the arousal from a mile away and instantly let down his guard to which Two actually took advantage of and flipped him onto his back to pin him down. He lay there helplessly; his only defense his tail since his arms and legs were pinned by Two's own. He sighed and sagged, showing submission.
Two chuckled and moved off of Six to sit back on his haunches and told the younger off for letting his guard down, claiming that if he were in a real situation then he'd be dead.
Six rolled himself to his feet and looked to Two, hissing at him that he'd be the same if he was in any way attracted to her.
Two chuckled and hissed something about a "youngling" before moving to the wall and ascending it to move over Sam. He watched her from his perspective and observed her body language, her shoulders stiffened at his presence and her breathing became slightly quicker. He moved down the wall and gently lifted some locks of hair, liking its feel; feathery and light. He grunted and let it go before moving over to Six, stating that he'd be back another time to observe his human before leaving the small space.

Hey guys. Second chapter here, um… Don't think it's what was expected and will probably end up writing this. I had a bit of help from a friend; weirdCOMBO. Thanks for the ideas and such ^^
Sorry for the quality… It's 02:21 here… Ugh, so sleepy.
