Disclaimer: AVP don't belong to me but to their makers, only Bruna the blind girl and the plot are mine.
Alright folks, this time I hadn't time to post this chapter like I do every sunday, due a visit from my sis who lives abroad.
Usually I write while my kids are sleeping on the kindergarten and later pass to my computer and translate the chapter, isn't easy believe.
Anyway this chapter will be decisive for Bruna's future, some explanations has to be given, so read the chapter ok? By the way... Tjau'ke is persuing Bruna's mother, but in a good way ok?
The lemon will come in future chapters, eheheheheh.
Explanations
24 hours passed and Bruna starts to open her eyes, and tries to get up but two hands prevents, "don't strain yourself Ooman, you are still very weak." And she's lie down, while the female Yautja begins to examine her very carefully, not to disturb the wound, "how long..." Sh'Indrara just shoots, "you've been out about 24 as you Oomans say, don't tire yourslef, need to regain your strength." But like a normal doctor asks, "How you feel Ooman?" The girl answer her while trying to get a hand to her chest, "A little sore, it seems that I took with a train on top." She looks again to the cut, "Will have a nice scar." Moments after orders to a ETA to call C ' Tack and Angelica, but not the rest of the humans or the other Yautjas, she wants that Bruna have a nice recovering without being disturbed.
The Yautja in question and Angelica run down the halls and he shouts to some Yautjas that intersect with both, "out of the way Hunters!"The others are perplexed with his unsual behavior, Angelica just shrugs trying to excuse him, but it's for a good cause, her daughter.
Shortly after the two are in the infirmary, "I'm glad you were quick." They come and saw the Healer with their arms crossed, "How is she?" Sh'Indrara answers, while forwards both, "Is very tired but in good spirits, it awaken some time ago." After forwards Angelica to the bedroom door, " C'Tack hold on a bit, Bruna's mother wants to stay a little bit with her." C ' Tack leans against the wall, "no problem, after all, both don't see each other for some time!" Angelica entered seeing Bruna in bed and hug her, "be careful Ooman, can disturb the sutures.
She's very tired perhaps you should stay for a few minutes. " Angelica nod, and chooses hold Bruna's hand, "I'm going to let you talk." And Sh'Indrara left them talk, and goes to her lab study some samples.
"My daughter you scared me!" Bruna shake his hand, "Sorry if I scared you mother." Angelica smiled at her daughter, "it's not your fault what happened. Now I just want you to rest and to get better from this operation!
I am very glad in seeing you well. " Bruna let out a smile, she's happy in have her mother near her.
Feels her mothers energies , knows she want to know answers for everything and how did get involved with the Yautjas, then squeeze her hand, to give her some strength.
On the other hand Angelica knows it's only a matter of time until they all come home, but there's something that eludes her, the dedication that the Yautja has with Bruna, but prefers to stay aside, doesn't want to interfere with the girl's feelings.
Angelica is very tolerant, despite barely knowing C ' Tack, and not be a human, acts as one and believes he's a better than any human she crossed during her intire life.
knows she doesn't have the right to judge and point the finger at other people just because of a certain choice, in this case the fact that her daughter have a great friendship with someone coming from another planet and possibly from another Galaxy.
"Mother, what is happening with you?" Asks Bruna, feels that her mother digress a little, "Nothing my daughter. I just want to get some rest." Then smirks a bit, "Your alien friend wants to visit you." Bruna gets upset, "Mother he has a name, and I suggest you use it understood?" Angelica grab Bruna's shoulder, "You be quiet, I didn't mean to upset you." Bruna responds, "you're excused."
Angelica says goodbye to her, and goes right immediately to Sh'Indrara, "I liked a lot of her mood, it looks like neither was operated." Sh'Indrara just tells her, "She were in good hands Ooman!" Angelica lowers her head, "I owe you an apology, doubted your knowledge, your professionalism, while a doctor and surgeon." The female Yautja puts a hand on her shoulder, "don't worry Ooman, I accept your apology." After smile, "it's very rare to see humility in Oomans." Angelica just says, "it's my bad mood, boil in very little water and only say the wrong things."
The Yautja responds, "it's okay, it's normal because Ooman, it was your daughter who was on the operating table." Then turns to C ' Tack, "Elite Warrior go see Bruna." C' Tack goes quickly to Bruna's room, who is leaning against the bed's bars , "Bruna..." The girl's heart skips a beat, "C ' Tack." He goes right to her, beginning by caressing her face, "you're alive!" He hugged her warmly, "Beware of my sutures." He looks at the girl's chest, "you will have a nice scar." Bruna smiles at the Yautja, "Sorry... if I scared you." C'Tack outlines a smile, "Bruna wasn't your fault." The blind girl gives her hand, "I didn't heard you C'Tack." Bruna lowers the head but C'Tack raises her chin with one finger, "you had a score to settle with this Ooman Bad blood, and it was an honor duel!" Bruna sighs for him, "Yeah I know."
After the Yautja hold her hand while he caresses Bruna's face with his other hand, "now I can be more relaxed, you're safe from that Ooman, as well from the Kainde Ametha." Bruna hold his hand, but when she went to tell him something is interrupted, "Now I just want you to rest, you had surgery earlier." Bruna smile, "haven't changed C'Tack!" He replies, "I know." And get out of there going fast, "I will order, to Sh' Indrara to transfer you in to my quarters! I don't want anyone to bother you, because you need to rest. " Shortly after the door closes.
When Angelica sees the Yautja out decides to approach him, "Hello ... C ' Tack isn't it? " The Yautja sees the human woman, "what's wrong Ooman?" She takes a deep breath, "I want to thank you for saving my daughter." C ' Tack responds, "Ooman, your daughter is my friend, helped my people in the past, I've done everything in my power to help." Then he smiles, "I know where she inherited her courage ..." Angelica nods, "she inherited it from her father, who died protecting her and Eric." The Yautja sees the little woman with a twinkle in eye, and when looked at directly, it has seen much sadness, "Ooman, she was blessed to have you both as parents, should be proud of her." After cleans a tear that however had roled from her cheek,"I have, C'Tack ... from both her and Eric her twin brother.
Bruna has been through a lot C 'Tack, for being blind, and Eric before going to military life, always helped her.
When he died was heartbroken, despite being her brother was also a friend, confidant, and she trusted him."C' Tack notices that she gets very emotional and holds her arm, "Let's have a drink at Varian's bar." He forwards her to the bar which is a bit far from the infirmary.
While both walk, they found C'Tack's father, "I see you are accompanied by my son, Ooman." Angelica replies, "Well he wants to cheer me up a little." Tjau'Ke extends the arm, "I'll go with you both.
By the way how's your daughter? " She looks at the Elder, "in great shape, but needs to rest to regain her strength." The Elder's mood changes completely when heard the good news, "so let's celebrate!"

two days passed and C ' Tack has her in his quarters, and this time Sh'Indrara is examining the scar, "it's healing nicely Bruna, nor is there any signs of infection or anything." Bruna puts her hand on the chest, "thanks to your care my friend, your meds do wonders." The female Yautja rises, "You need rest more." Then turns to C ' Tack, " and you my hard head, see if you declare to Bruna!"She hears his reply, "mind your own business Sh'Indrara!"She goes off to another part of the ship, "But what was that C ' Tack?" Bruna question intrigued by the behavior of the Yautja, "nothing ... nothing, it was just rubbish." Answers C' Tack taken by surprise.
Moments later she says, "C'Tack your gods have spoken with me." He opens the jaw surprised, "W... what...They visited you?! " She nod, "you bet, I felt very insignificant." C ' Tack smile for the blind girl, "I almost couldn't believe what I was witnessing, even in dreams, sometimes I'm a little skeptical about dreams and visions." C ' Tack nod, "But you should be more open to it Bruna." She sighs, feeling the vibrations of the Yautja, "I have my beliefs C 'Tack but I was never in tune, you know I respect religion, but human beings are a bit literals, kill, despise and enslave their similar just because of that.
To me dreams are experiences from day to day, is our body's way of decompressing of what went on during the day. " C ' Tack is in awe of her, "But this dream looked real, and I was very happy to be contacted by your gods." C ' Tack puts both hands on the girl's shoulders, "Bruna how was it?" She leans on the bed, "the vibrations were very quirky, supernatural.
We were chatting, at first were very arrogant, maybe were doing their part, but when showed remorse at killing Damien in combat, not judged or anything, they told me that I made the decision that I thought was the right one.
As I talked with them, I found them very funny because of the PredAlien who ... well you know. I've never seen a couple that complement each other, C ' Tack. I feel I can trust them even though I don't worship them. " The Yautja just smiled, "you have been blessed by their presence, I'm very happy for you."
She interlocks fingers with C ' Tack, "you know, the words of your gods bring much wisdom, and Paya told me something to think about." The Yautja is interrogated, but continues to hear her, "right now I want to meditate on what she told me, and later I will tell you." C ' Tack has doubts about other things, like saying to the Ooman's authorities about Bruna's reappearance, without compromising the Yautjas.
Bruna senses C'Tack's insecurity, and tries to calm him, "don't worry about what the gods told me." C ' Tack Gets a little incredulous, "has nothing to do with the gods Bruna." She is caught by surprise, "Explain!" He is very serious, "what explanation you will give to your authorities, about your reappearance?" She starts to get a bit thoughtfull, "There's something I don't know what to say, probably tell the truth, but without engaging you.
I suspect that Brad or Brian have contacted Detective O'Donnel about of my situation, when they were investigating the abduction and ransom, must have told him a story that corresponds more or less to the truth. " C'Tack's mandible start clicking a little and Bruna felt, "you're nervous C' Tack, relax things will go in front." He is more relaxed. Shortly after rises heading for the door, because it has things to do.

Bruna is tired of being in bed and decide to get up, but do it slowly to not feel dizzy, and begins to walk in C'Tacks Chambers, "I see you're get new strength daughter." Bruna turns to the voice source, "Hey mother... I can see by your tone, you're very well." Angelica replies, "of course I am, I had the chance to socialize with the Elder Tjau'Ke, your friend C ' Tack and other predator called Varian, he even offered me a drink similar to whisky." Bruna is satisfied, saying with a smirk "good mother, and you like the C' ntlip? " Angelica raises an eyebrow exclaiming, "So...that's the name of this drink!
This drink hit us good, strong but good! " Bruna makes her a suggestion smiling, "next time don't drink pure, add two ice cubes and a slice of lemon, or you could to mix some naxa juice." Angelica holds Bruna's hands, "will follow your advice, and that juice you speak of, as well the fruit is very tasty!" Then forwards the daughter to bed, and shortly after combing her long hair. " We must return to Earth as soon as possible, and to talk to the authorities about your reappearance. " Bruna crosses her arms over the chest, "I think this is being handled by Brad and Brian, they should have contacted O'Donnell during the period they were among the Predators.
They will not denounce the Predators, mother. If they do have the authorities after us as well C' Tack and company, and we will never have peace! " Angelica gets up looking out the window of C'Tacks Chambers, "wouldn't think of it, my daughter. They have been very helpful to us, despite they hunt our species! " Bruna's eyes are wide open," H... How do you know that?" Angelica replies, "they told me, but I will not judge them for thet, our species does too, with the savage or domestic animals." Bruna smiled, "and I think the Elder likes you, that's why he told you, he doesn't want lose your friendship." She hears a giggle, "I'm too old to have a relationship with someone." Bruna remarks, "If you said so..."
The conversation of both is interrupted by the arrival by Bruna's longtime friends, Brad and Brian, "Hello ladies!" Both boys hear, "Hey, guys, what brings you here?" Brad responds, "we had the chance to contact O'Donnell ..." they are interrupted by Bruna, "I suppose you did some time ago." Brad nod, "no doubt Bruna, from the moment you were abducted until now, but with minor changes, and he is investigating the past of Damien and Diamantin, and discovered a lot." Bruna interjects, "in other words their family is in trouble." Brian nod, "you can be sure, and one of the guys who helped us was infiltrated, he was involved in Diamantin's and Damien's experiences to do some surveillance for our authorities." Bruna stands pensively, "I see, probably for years with both."
Brad just says, "Bruna, Mark served beside Eric, managed to survive the attack that killed your brother, were best friends." Bruna gets gasped, "No ... I can't believe he's alive?" Brad explains, "Yes ... and apologizes for having done all those things against you, but couldn't expose his cover.
Relax our secret is safe with him. " Bruna just says, "I haven't even had a chance to thank him." Angelica replies, "you will have the chance my daughter, and maybe even put your conversation in day." C ' Tack enters seeing the humans gathered, "did I miss anything Oomans?" Bruna back the head, "Nah ... all I'm saying is that everything is well underway." C ' Tack sighs, "great, tomorrow all of you can return to the planet, your injuries are practically healed, Bruna." Bruna's look sadned, "and you stay around C'Tack, for a little longer?" The Yautja responds, "Yes I will, the YoungBloods want to hunt a little as well meet the planet." Bruna says only, "They should nabb the mobsters, but first watch the same routines before the kill."
But curiosity speaks louder, "by the way they've been marked?" The Yautja looks at her a little surprised but outlines a smile, "Yes they have preferred to do it in the safety of this ship, they did not want to be infected by the Kainde Ametha parasite." Then notices that she lowers the head, but continues, "You were fighting for your life when we marked them." She sighs, "I'm sorry not to have been present." He squeese her hand, "they realized that." She smiles a little relieved.
C ' Tack stay a little more with her, he wants talk some more about several issues, but don't declares himself to her for fear in be rejected again.

The next morning, Bruna and the remaining humans are brought to Earth, more precisely to Los Angeles and when they reach her house, Bruna breathes the air, "I missed this." Then go to her workshop, counting all the pieces are there, "By the way Brad, you collected the clay?" The boy responds, "Yes, it is with O'Donnell, but I asked him to keep it moist, was evidence." Then change the subject, "Speaking of, you've contacted him?" Brad shows her the phone, "of course, I did it soon as we arrived here." She sits on the couch in the living room, "this must be resolved soon as possible."
1 hour after, the detective arrives to Bruna's house, and when saw her get surprised, "nice to see you safe Miss. Woods." And greeted her, "Your friends did a good job in finding you alive and whole." Brian stands out, "thanks to all detective." The detective pulls out a dossier, "Did a thorough investigation, and in fact I found some interesting things about Damien and Diamantin, I can tell you they come from wealthy families, whose incomes are not reliable sources, in other words criminal activities and not only.
Now I wonder what Damien wanted with Miss. Woods. " Bruna responds, "A word detective ... revenge." He looks at her, "Now what interrogates me is one thing, a huge explosion in the Centre of Ni'ihau island!" Brad is stunned, "How is this explosion was detected?" Brian hits Brad with a punch on his head, "Satellites Don't forget...ass face!" Bruna just laughing at it, "Duh ...Brad, I think you've been getting too much sun in the head! " O'Donnell unleashed a laugh, but looks more seriously, "Probably should have been somebody that activated the self-destruct of whatever was there." Detective confirms, reading the dossier, "Was what Mark told us, and Damien was poisoned, now with that substance does not know, since is no trace of his body." Bruna says while squeezing a cushion, "He kept me stuck in that shithole, tortured me in many ways, it was cruel.
Mark saved me of their claws, and contacted Brad and Brian who acted promptly soon. Due to my keen senses I felt that there was a struggle, and it wasn't easy because Damien didn't want to give up, but at the end of a hard fight, they got out of there with me, and how it should calculate, decided to activate the self-destruct with intention to kill us ,but the shot backfired. "
O'Donnell just tells her, "I know what happened, all thanks to the cooperation of your friends, Miss. Woods and an investigation was made during these two weeks." Then look at the scars that are hardly noticeable, "Who treated you did a good job." Angelica brings some drinks, and O'Donnell soon accepted immediately, "thank you Mrs. Woods.
I think at the moment this will be filed, there is no way to collect evidence like DNA or materials, because the explosion polvorized any trace. " He drinks his orange juice while he's talking, "by the way, this juice is wonderful Mrs. Woods." The woman smiles, but Bruna asks, "does this mean that I can make my normal life, or going abroad without fear of being arrested?" He responds, "Can be quiet, can continue your usual routine." Bruna sighs, "Finally I can be free of these nightmares that plagued me during these 6 years." Angelica raises his glass, "Cheers to that!"
About 15 minutes later the detective comes out of there going straight to the post, "Then I bring your clay." Everyone laughed.

At night Bruna is on the window listening the night's sounds while drinks a little of C'ntlip with two pieces of ice , "How are you feeling?" Bruna takes a sip, "Relieved." After let a sigh, "I owe you all an apology for not telling you anything about what happened to me 6 years ago mother." Angelica embraces her daughter, "it's okay, they told me everything, and you were able to overcome everything, I'm really proud of you.
If your father and your brother could see you now, would feel very proud of you. " Bruna continues to hear the sounds of the night closing her eyes, "Mother, Eric guided me during the whole time I was in trouble as well as Taru, I am very grateful to them.
During the operation also was advised. " Angelica is dumbstruck, "what do you mean by that my daughter?" Bruna explains, "Was visited in my dreams by C'Tack's gods deities, and they advised me, and something I wasn't judged or anything." The mother is without words, "Mom I killed Damien in a fight of honor, it was me or him." Angelica just says, "Nor I you will judge my daughter, you did it to save yours and your friends lives." Bruna embraces her mother with a tear in her eye, "I apreciate that mother, thank you."
Angelica changes the subject, "what are you doing right now?" Bruna laughs, "get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow will shall see what I am to do." Bruna is left alone to contemplate the sounds of the night,"Sleep well my daughter, have nice dreams." And the door is closed, leaving Bruna with herthoughts.

At the Mothership C 'Tack is doing the same thing, contemplating the same starry sky that Bruna sighing, he has so much to tell her, he loves he deeply and he wants her to be his lifemate.
"My Bruna if you only knew how I feel about you ... If only you don't reject me!" He hears a voice behind him, " why don't you go after her Elite Warrior? And make her your lifemate! " C Tack back to see his father, "My sire how do you know how I feel about her?" The old Yautja responds, "didn't pass unnoticed, it's written all over your face! You love that Ooman.
You will regret it if you don't fight for her. So don't be stupid and go after her! " C ' Tack gets surprised with what the Elder told him, but is pleased that he has accepted Bruna,"My Sire, I also know that you're attracted to a certain Ooman too!"The Elder is caught completely by surprise, "I will deal with that myself C'Tack!
I noticed that she's very proud and stubborn, and I know she will not give in to me so easily, your bearer did the same thing with me."And both begin to laugh because both are attracted to mother and daughter, "By Paya... the life has of these things, and it is in our favour"
C ' Tack decides to act, wears his armor, and goes directly to his small Shuttle, departing directly to Earth, to meet with a certain girl who is contemplating the night sky in her way ... falling asleep quietly at the sound of night creatures.
"Wait for me my Bruna, this time I won't leave without you!"
What do you think about this turn of events, how Bruna knows Mark?
Like I said things will get better for both parts, finaly Bruna can rest in peace without nightmares!
By the way if you have any ideas for the next chapter feel free to tell me ok? this one will be a bit... hot.
See you later folks!
I apreciate constructive reviews, thank you very much!
