Saved from the flames

Halfway through the show, starts to feel a very strong burning smell, and when each person looks up, they saw the fire, it had spread to near of the stage, and since that moment the panic starts, all begin to get out of there, trampling each other, Brian holds Bruna's hand to not lose her but with that mess they are separated by people in panic, and she falls to the ground.
The theatre's manager called the fire department very quickly, then it will help with the people's evacuation to outside of the theatre.

She tries but can't get away, the senses are not working because of the people's screams as well to the mix of smells, then some roof parts starts to fall, leaving the blind girl trapped and screaming for help but got no reply, because people have fled or are likely injured or worse, killed due to fire, "I need to leave here, don't want to die on this way!" And she starts to cough, but try to find through her smell fresh air, and creeps out there try to escape from the heat, smoke and debris continue to fall, this for about 10 minutes without success.

On the outside of the building Brian is screaming for her without response, and the fire fighters arrived very quickly starting right away to put out the fire and evacuate people out of the burning building, when they see Brian trying to get into the building, they begin to drag it out of there, "Nothing you can do boy!" He begins to struggle, "Drop me dammit, I want to get her out there!" One of the fireman says aware of the danger, "Do not you see you can't go ? It will dangerous! "Brian felt like trap," Is there still a person and she can't get out! "Brian feels helpless, and he wants to go there, but they don't let go," We tried to get everybody out, but the heat will not let us go further! "The fireman puts his hand on his shoulder," I am sorry for your loss!" What he will say to Angelica that her daughter died, and who stood idly by and do nothing? He sits on the floor helpless without reaction, getting to look at the theatre in flames, "Most people managed to save, but Bruna ..." He starts banging on the floor that is furious, "No fair, why I wish I was on her place! "" And see the fire fighters trying to extinguish the fire and then do the aftermath probably find the charred corpses, but doesn't want to think about it.

Bruna fights desperately for her survival, trying to find a safe place from the fire , to where exists fresh air, she starts crawling while touch the corpses , and she begins to cry and scream because she don't want to end like this, "My God, survived to several things, including Xenomorphs! I don't want to die like this! "Tears stream from her eyes due to the smoke," I need to leave this place my God! "She listens more debris to fall and attempts to get rid of them but doesn't had time enough and gets stuck in the foot, and she screams for help, but in vain.

The cries are heard by the keen ear of a Predator, and who is nearby there, is R'Kahr, he decides to investigate what is going on, being fast, as an arrow.
When he approach not believe what he see, a burning building, then notices that people are desperately trying to erase the great Fire, and trying to rescue victims from the same, through his helmet he find a living Ooman inside and struggling to survive, but something catches his attention, she has C'Tack's clan mark on her shoulder, a crescent, so decided acting, entered into the flames, going over where the Ooman is, and save it.
He moves on, stumbling over in some Oomans corpses, but try to avoid being roasted alive, for that has to hurry up, slowly progresses through the flames, then through his vision sees the Ooman form and it is alive, and listened it yelling for help, then notice that is something holding her foot, then raises what is holding it, throwing the wreck to the other side, then crouch while grab her, "Pauk ... it's hot!"The girl who is in his arms collapses, and when he sees that puts two fingers in the carotid artery to feel her pulse, breathing of relief, after all she lost her senses, due the heavy smoke.

Bruna cries, but suddenly feels free of the wreck that bound her moments before, then feel grabbed by someone, but don't have the strength to move or speak, with what loses consciousness.
R'Kahr quickly gets out of there going to his friend's shuttle, time is pressing, because the girl who is in his arms need immediate care, and if he do nothing she will die from inhalation of fumes that are toxic.
In a matter of time he arrives to the vehicle, comes by placing it on the floor but first cover it with his red cape, "Hold on Ooman!" Shortly after going to the cockpit where he turn on the small shuttle, and start going straight away to the mother ship.

He communicates with the main ship back to warn there is someone who needs urgent treatment, and quickly they assure him that everything will be ready for his arrival, R'Kahr breath of relief shortly after leaving the pilot's seat is going to see how is Bruna.
He is beginning to examine the blind girl, including some brands , then sees the mark of C'Tack's clan, smiling to himself, "What a coincidence, is the Ooman who C'Tack's talked about! He will be happy about this! "Then starts to clean up her wounds that were caused by debris, being surprised," How she survived on that hell of flames? By Paya, this is an authentic miracle! "She was not badly hurt, just have a broken foot due to the piece of debris that had fallen on top, but still needs care, he don't know if it is injured internally, and hasn't the necessary equipment to treat it.

Quickly the blind girl is taken to the infirmary that exists on the Big ship, but R'Kahr get to hear some comments from other Yatujas, "But what gave him to bring a Ooman here?" R'Kahr nothing says continuing his march but hear any more, "He got mad, did he forget that Ooman are prey?" After listening to further comment, "Forget it, it doesn't tie us! We have to go investigate it. "R'Kahr wants to punch them, how can this be? Although humans are prey, the one who is in his arms is different.

Moments later arrives at the infirmary and who receive him is a female Predator, "Is this the Ooman of which you spoke?" He says while put her into the examination table , "Oh yeah, Sh'Indrara see what you can do for it!" Sh'Indrara begins to examine the girl, "There is a few burns and a broken foot!" The other is getting a little worried, "But has any internal injuries?" She puts her mask beginning to look inside the body carefully, "She escaped unhurt, my leader, but she need oxygen soon as possible! "The other is a little more relieved but curious," Ours isn't the right one? "Sh'Indrara raises eyebrows," I know how to do, don't worry, go to your hunt! Better yet you should warn C'Tack about her!" R'Kahr just says,"Please take care of her!"The other nods his hand while working in Bruna, on the other hand R'Kahr returns to Earth.

Sh'Indrara begins to observe the human injuries who is on the table, "Um, she was lucky not to have serious injuries or internal, with the exception of the foot which is broken." She begins by cleaning the wounds with her care and for it calls other healer, "Oo'Rion could you give me a hand here with this Ooman, that R'Kahr brought to us? "He quickly comes to help her with a wound cleaner," Could you brings our healing solution and the antibiotics injection, I don't want her to pick up an infection! "Soon he go to the shelf where it draws a sort of bowl, and a white powder and a liquid blue, then it makes the mix , handing to Sh'Indrara," Here it is Dr..."She grabs the strange mixture starting to put on Bruna's foot, after a while places some in her arms, and put a bandage to the foot, then looks at Oo'Rion, "Bring something to cover it!" She quickly has the body covered with animal skins, "Let's leave it recovering Oo'Rion." Both the Predators came out of the room going to deal with its obligations elsewhere in the ward.

C'Tack learned by R'Kahr that Bruna is on the ship, more precisely in the infirmary being treated of her injuries due to a fire, then he immediately stopped what he was doing moments before, and went to his shuttle with his friend towards the his ship, "I have to go quickly!" The friend puts his hand on his shoulder with some curiosity, smiling, "But what has this Ooman so special to you?" He finishes off, "When it's time you will see old friend! "Shortly after both departed from there.

The flight to his ship was very quiet, and when the little vehicle landed safely on the deck, then C'Tack leaves the deck going towards to the ward, but during its course several Predators were on their way and he roars loud " Get out of my way! "The others moved away from the Honourable, while R'Kahr was in scope," Hey C'Tack stand there! "The other one turns around," I can't ! I want see as soon as possible the Ooman ! You should take the shuttle to Earth and brings the other two! "R'Kahr to walk and just say," OK, then I want to know more news understood? "C'Tack waving his hand while walking to the ward to see his friend Bruna and possibly future mate.

Sh'Indrara sees the commotion at the infirmary door and will see what it is happening, so she see the Honourable warrior, "What is happening here Sir?" C'Tack put the female doctor away from the door, going to the room where is the female Ooman, "C'Tack, you can't be there!" He just roars, "I have every right to be beside of this Ooman!" And begins to caress Bruna's hair who is on a pony tail, then something caught his attention, she had the rings he had given her years before, just before leaving, and crack a smile, Sh'Indrara see that the Honourable warrior is too involved and sighs, "He likes her ... if the Elders know. "C'Tack notices the look of it,"I know what you are thinking, and you're not wrong but not a word about this!"Sh'Indrara just says," I need to know why C'Tack."He only says while caress Bruna's face, "She's a good hunter and my friend, she avoid great problems to our side!" Sh'Indrara didn't question C'Tack any more despite not being satisfied with his answer. Then leave them alone, but always attentive, because she can wake up anytime.

Cold ... is what it feels at that moment, is she among the living? It is on a unknown place, and thought it is dead, until she saw images of her past life until the recital's date.
She then begins to remember the terrible fire that appeared don't know how, everything during the recital, the screams of panic filled her mind and the feeling of being almost crushed to death, knows that Brian tried everything to not leave her out of sight, but on the confusion was separated from him, and she felt helpless because no one came to help in that trial.
Remembers the corpses and the smell of burnt flesh, from the debris to fall on top of her and felt herself surrounded by flames, but was killed during the fire? She had the feeling that was being freed from the wreckage which had fallen over and was carried away, but was it a dream or is it reality? It ignores everything but there are people who are fighting for her life at that very moment.

But suddenly starts having terrible dreams related to what happened in the past, Xenomorphs, but this time dreaming about the responsible of the whole ordeal that Bruna has passed.

Flashback

Bruna is in the interrogation room, knowing that Diamantin is trying to break her, but faces him with courage and hears , 'You got courage in facing me, but you will tell, or you will perish! "Then open the file he have on his hand,"I know that your brother died under certain circumstances, want to know what he died of?" She already knew long ago, and Diamantin didn't know this, but it just says,"The military kept the real truth of my Brother's death from my mother and me, and we couldn't give him a decent funeral!" Diamantin answered grinning,
"He was part of an experiment without knowing my dear, but we send them to death!" When she hears what he said, throws herself to the villain,"It's because of people like you that there is unnecessary deaths and violence in the world, and you didn't have the right to send soldiers to death, especially my brother!" He smiles mischievously holding her both hands, "Oh, say something bad? We're sorry girl! "She just says, "He was my only friend in my family, and you stolen it from me!" Diamantin just says,"Your friend will have the same fate as your brother, if you don't say the truth!" She just says trying to free herself,"You are a petty person who uses others to achieve their goals, but when you are contradicted you made the others pay for YOUR actions, you just kill them! You're a coward of the worst kind, you deserve to die! "He makes her another revelation,"I know you did it, because you and that Yatuja were seen to leave the sewers by two soldiers, therefore not worth to hide more!" Brian looks at her friend, and Bruna soon realized only by touch, so she responds:
"I'd rather die than serve your evil purposes, and I know what you plan!" Diamantin is shocked by what has just heard, after the girl knows something, but nothing she will say, so he just ordered the thugs,"Put both in the laboratory, where our"guests" are!" Soon the two friends were sent to the place where the Xenos eggs are.

Bruno knew what to expect but is struggling to emerge from the clutches of the villain who laughs mischievously, "Now you will not escape from this girl, you'll be the next host for my new friends, and your Predator friend will not gone to save you!" Tears trickle down her face, but not shows it, they are unwilling to give him that pleasure.

End Flashback

Suddenly she is struggling due to the nightmare, then opens her eyes, rising almost immediately, "This again, this will never stop?" She's panting, and trying to calm down a bit, suddenly she feel that it is in another environment, is humid and hot, and tries to capture odours and actually gets to know she is in a cold metal table, and it smells weird, but use their senses to feel what surrounds it, "I'm not in that hell fire! "Then hears a voice," I'd better lie down Ooman." She tries to find the source of the voice," Who are you? "Then she feels a hand to pull it down," My name is Sh'Indrara."Sh'Indrara is admired, the Ooman not want to sleep? Strange, she must discover the cause of her nightmares, but for now can do nothing, then ask the name, "What is your name Ooman?" Bruna sighs, "Bruna Woods!" She feels something to cover her body, "So Bruna, try to rest." The girl nods, "I will try, Sh'Indrara."

Quickly hear another voice more familiar, "I did not believe it when R'Kahr told me you were here!" She recognizes the voice, "C ... C'Tack?" He quickly goes to her side where he hugs her, she takes the tip beginning to feel his face with tears in her eyes, "You came back!" After continuing to touch him in the face and on his peculiar hair, "You've changed so much and I notice that you have a new prop!" He smiles, "I am a Honourable warrior now, and you're on my ship. "But Bruna wants explanations," How did I get here? "She hears," My friend R'Kahr saved you from a fire! "She just says, smiling," I need to thank him! "So C'Tack asks," But what were you doing there? "Bruno begins to explain," I was listening to a recital at the invitation of Brian! "C'Tack understood and continues to hear it "C'Tack he needs to know that I'm fine!" C'Tack question, "Where is he?" She just says, "In my house, hurry fast before he goes to talk to my mother!" he asks before leaving, "You're in Zuma?" She nods, "No, I'm at my mother's house,you already been there a long time ago!" C'Tack quickly left the ship going straight to LA.

Sh'Indrara look at the blind girl, looking on her face, radiating happiness and at the same time concern, but see other thing, her eyes, then hear a request, "Sorry, it is possible to you approach me? I need to know how a female Predator is! "Sh'Indrara gets a little afraid, then approaches but doesn't remove the mask, and Bruna knows right away," Take off the mask please! "She reluctantly does what the human asks.
Bruna begins to move her hands on Sh'Indrara's face, feeling every detail, then moves to her head and into her dreadlocks, and she smiles, "That's how I" see "Sh'Indrara!" The Yatuja understand almost immediately, but hear, "But you are very pretty, the Yatuja who want to be your mate will be lucky!" Sh'Indrara is astonished at what has just heard, how the Ooman can say such a thing, members of the human race think the Predators hideous, and she did not.

Did not realize the true aspect of the Predators, an answer is heard, "You have your own beauty, and I have no right to judge your race , beauty or culture!" Then placed her hand on Sh'Indrara's chest, "It's what's here!" She is caught by surprise, the Ooman must have gone mad.

Sh'Indrara despite being shocked by what has just listen, smile because it is the first time she hear a compliment like that, then turns to look closely at the blind girl, noting that is small in stature, is has a lean muscular body, probably should do exercise also see that she has dark hair being long, she knows, because the Ooman had it all caught up, the skin has a tan, but what catches her attention are her eyes, blue-green, then made some movement in front of them to see if she sees, Bruna feels the air and grabs Sh'Indrara's hand, "You are seeing if I'm blind?" The other is amazed at how quickly the girl, "Well ... I ..." Bruna smiles and Sh'Indrara see the human who is in front of her smiling, showing his white teeth, without any mark of caries, "Despite being blind, she take care of herself very well. Now I am wondering ,she knows how to fight?" Then starts admiring the human , she never been had so near on a living human before, only to the dead ones, starting to get very curious about Bruna.

The blind girl sits in the table while Sh'Indrara begins to examine her seeing that she is improving from the injuries caused by fire, but the wound will take longer to heal is her broken foot, which is already looking better then only says, while is helping her leaving the bed while is holding her, "C'Tack asked me to take you to his chambers!" Bruna smiled, "He's amazing, will never change!" Sh'Indrara take her as if it were a child, Bruna is small in stature, and is involved in animal skins , only has her underwear.

When leaves the ward begins to be the centre of attention from other Predators, and Bruna feel the tension in the air, but the other just says,"Do n't worry, they will not hurt you for now, since you are a female. "Bruna asks," But they hardly know, when I getting better they can challenge me? "Sh'Indrara explains," Yes they may have do that, since your species is prey! "Bruna is thoughtful, but she concludes," Maybe I have to prove that I deserve to be among you, and be respected! "The Yatuja makes her a question," You are blind, how could you challenge them? "Bruna smiled," When I get better you will see! "But Bruna is curious," How do you know to speak my language so well? "Sh'Indrara replies," I travel a lot for your planet and also C'Tack taught me! "Bruna delighted smiles.

While walking Bruna captures aggressive sounds towards her, and can distinguish them because each Yautja has its manner of speaking, Sh'Indrara noticed, what they are saying, then look at the blind girl, who asks, " Sh'Indrara were 3 Predators who just talk? "She gives a simple answer," Yes, they were. "Bruna notices that she is somewhat at ease," They said something serious against me? "The other doesn't respond, which confirms what Bruna suspected, "I thought so, but don't worry, I am used to!" The female Predator raises her brow, "If you want ..." Bruna raises her hand, "Not worth it, the best thing to do is ignore them." The two women walk between the others predators, who are furious because they were ignored by Bruna, which outlines a smile, "I hope all of you learned a lesson!" Once she start laughing hard doing the three Predators to look at each other astonished, "The Ooman got mad? "And the question had no answer.

Shortly after Bruna is on C'Tack room, and she feels every detail of the bed, and Sh'Indrara is pleased to see the girl to know the place, then just say, "Bruna, I'll let you rest, then I'll bring something to eat! "Bruna cuddle up in bed," Thank you for everything Sh'Indrara! "She hears the door to close, shortly after falling asleep exhausted.

When Sh'Indrara leaves the room the three Predators are going to meet her, "What gave at you for treating the Ooman?" She responds, "Why not go bother someone else?" One holds his arm, "We want an answer!" She punches the Predator who grabbed her earlier, "And I say meddle in your life, and left her alone, or will face C'Tack!" The others quickly moved away.
She have the nerves flowing through the skin, she was angry, knows that Bruna's species is prey, but they don't any right in treating Bruna in that way, knowing it is a female, "What a nerve! R'Kahr will hear me!" Then she continues her march until the ward, where she feels more at ease, to study the blood samples she had taken from Bruna while was unconscious.

However Brian goes on way to Angelica's house to give her the bad news about the supposed Bruna's death, and it costs him have to do it, her mother will probably hate him for the rest of his life by not having taken care of her as it should be.
He feels responsible for what happened to the blind girl, and begins to weep bitterly because of that, Bruna was a great friend of his since his school days and never left alone, even when she moved to Zuma, and he had a deep love for her, "Life is unfair, why Bruna have to die? She had no chance to get out! "

He let a sigh, why the fireman didn't let him go inside the burning building to rescue the body of his colleague? Did they know that it was lost or because the flames were too hot to enter there.
His thoughts were confuse, they don't let him thinking right, then starts to calm down by remembering one thing, he stayed until the end of the fire and the aftermath when they were found three bodies, but they were all male, which led the fireman to believe that the fourth victim was missing, because they never even found Bruna's corpse in the Building's rubble, and begins to hope to be able to find Bruna alive, but how he can give the news to Angelica? He have to do it, for his sake, "Well but I have to tell her, though Bruna's body hasn't been found in the room!" and sighs again, continuing their march to Angelica's house .

Well this time Brian have to do some choices!

so... until next chapter, where you will learn more.

I appreciate constructive reviews, thanks!
