Rated M for violence, blood and death
Disclaimer: AVP don't belong to me but to their makers, only the plot and Bruna the blind girl are mine.
Ok folks some of you are wondering why Bruna conceived so fast, well I'll tell you, the Yautja sperm is more stronger than the human's, that's why C'Tack noticed, not Bruna, she will discover soon.
Right now Angelica is training for her Shiva, will she survive or not? I know you are eager to know it but to discover you have to read the chapter ok?
so let's go on with the story.
By a inch
The next morning Bruna goes to get up to take a shower when, "Today you will not get out of here." She feels C'Tack holding her. "I have to go teach your subordinates." C ' Tack give a rogue smile, "not today." Bruna gets upset, "They have not been warned!" The Yautja shrugs, "don't worry. Now stay with me. " Bruna sighs "at least we have to satisfy this hunger. The activities of yesterday have left me starving. " C ' Tack calls an ETA, and when arrive to their quarters, he orders him to bring food.
Bruna leans against the Yautja, "you know C Tack?" He turns his head to her, "what was my Bruna?"" She caresses his muscled chest, "thank you for being caring and worrying about me." He snuggles her more, "do everything to ensure you." She goes to him, "now let's summarize our activities ..." Suddenly feel the door open himself, "Not now, we must eat Bruna, and then we will continue." He wrap something on his waist, receiving the ETA, "Now you can go. " The ETA bow leaving the couple alone enjoying the meal.
"I told Ma'Ruack to go train for the next Hunt, he realized soon." She breathes relief, "How are you feeling now C'Tack?" He caress her tenderly, "the happiest Yautja from the space." Bruna is satisfied, "thanks for everything C'Tack." Both end the meal, "you know the bath's suggestion is nothing bad." He grabs her, taking her directly to the pool, walking carefully.
Both take shower together, exploring their bodies, and things heat up and finish the rest in bed, C ' Tack is insatiable for Bruna's pleasure ,who also has a voracious appetite.
The next morning both rise mildly happy, later they prepared for the day, but not before give a kiss full of passion, "see you later C'Tack." The Yautja responds, "I will wait for you my love."
Moments later intersects with her mother, "by the look in your eyes I can see you're very satisfied." The blind girl responds, "Morning mother, C'Tack was so sweet to me despite its dimensions." And makes the gesture, "it hurts, but he always tried to calm me." Angelica is satisfied, "Finally someone with courage to have sex with you without fear." Bruna continues to walk towards the Keherite, "he had the courage and careful to always be beside me, nor wanted to care about my blindness." And outlines a smile, "I know he will love me and cherish me for the rest of my life." Both entered on the Keherite.
Ma'Ruack note that she has C'Tack's mark on the shoulder, " Greetings Bruna ." The blind girl is in a good mood, " good morning Ma'Ruack, I'm sorry if I missed the training." Ma'Ruack know the reason just to see C'Tack's mark, "don't worry Bruna, everything is ok." She sees the audience of Yautjas and smiles, it seems that all they want to know things about human culture.
Angelica also helps in everything she can but in the end will train with Ma'Ruack, Bruna and other Unbloodeds, they want to be in shape for the next Shiva who will perform on a near planet.
Yeyinde watch the training, seeing how Bruna trains, and despite her blindness manages to untangle all right, even knows where's her opponent, curiosity speaks louder, " you told me sometime ago that you feel the energy that surrounds the living beings." Bruna hears the question while rests, "Yes it's true, but it took me many years to learn, it was easier for me because I'm blind, I don't rely on my vision to make my daily. If you apply yourself you can learn, you have to meditate a lot and you deprive all your other senses, but I will be here to guide you in this. " Bruna puts her hand on the young Yautja shoulder, feeling positive energies, it is applied in practice with a willingness to learn, and knows that he will be an excellent Hunter and possibly a good team leader or clan leader.
"This boy has a lot of potential, thirst for knowledge, if he passes the Shiva I will make it my apprentice." She feels Ma'Ruack touching her on the shoulder, " Bruna we continue?" She rises, "Yes we will continue."
For several weeks she's teaching Unbloodeds and Angelica alongside with Ma'ruack, she is very severe with them and with her mother because don't want to lose any to the Xenomorphs, but feels that there is a Predator that is not so applied, the same she had thrown in the ground weeks before, Ha'Liham. Although he would listen to the lessons on human culture, feels that he is very sloppy.
"Ma'Ruack I'd like to talk to you." Says Bruna while holds his forearm, the Yautja calculates soon immediately, "What's wrong? I feel like you're disappointed in anything, it's C'Tack? "Bruna smiles,while nods,"Not at all Ma'Ruack, he and I are fine."The other raises his brow, "so what's up Bruna."She sighs, " is Ha'Liham, I feel like he's don't care about this." The friend looks at the Yautja in question, "I see, I also see the same, and I talked to him several times, but he continues to do the same."She sighs worried, " what am I going to do?"He looks at her while grab her hand. " you've done a lot, Bruna. If he lose his life in the Shiva was because of his attitude. " She's feeling the negative vibes of the Yautja in question, " too bad."
At the end of that day Bruna is noticeably fatigued and Ma'Ruack look, "are you OK Bruna?" She starts to get very pale, "it's been a few days since I ate well, now I don't hold anything on the stomach, I am throwing up." Ma'Ruack feel changes on her, "I think you should see Sh'Indrara." He knows that she is pregnant, "Well I guess I will take your advice." Sighs Bruna, "I wonder what's causing this."And get out of there going directly to Sh'Indrara.
When it comes to the infirmary only listens, "what are you doing here Bruna?" She sits a little nervous, "I Know you left for 30 minutes and I didn't want to bother you." Sh'Indrara look to her human friend and knew right away, "Bruna my friend you're pregnant." The poor girl sits in the chair, "you're kidding me right?" The look of Sh'Indrara gets more serious, "you think I would play with this?" Bruna outlines a huge smile, "I'm very happy Sh'Indrara,C'Tack will love this news."The doctor gives some vitamins, "this is for you to take throughout pregnancy, are proteins necessary for the development of the fetus." Then it gets a more serious tone, "and I suggest don't fight, you can abort." Bruna holds up her hands, " I assure you that . " And get out of there going directly to the bridge where C'Tack is, "what are you doing here?" She holds his hand, "come into the Hall." He goes to the Hall and she holds his hands, "C ' Tack I have something to tell you." The other starts to get curious, "what's going to get me out of there." And cross his arms waiting, "she smiles," I'm pregnant! " When he hears the news holds her giving a huge Kiss, "Bruna this is wonderful news!" He goes to the bridge, "My Sire today I will leave a little earlier." Tjau'ke nods saying, "You tell me later." And the couple left the control room.
They both go to the quarters, "Bruna Let's celebrate." She kissed him while hold his harm, "First I want to give the good news to my mother." And change the route to the ship's library where is Angelica studying a little of the Yautja tongue, with the help of a teacher, when she sees her daughter, "Hey, have you ever been to the infirmary Bruna?" She responds with a smile, "Yes." Angelica crosses her arms on the table, "so, what she said? Advised to rest more and not to abuse too much at work? " Bruna intertwines fingers in C'Tack's, "well ... it's almost like it." Angelica starts to study the look of her daughter, feeling that's different, "Bruna tell me. .. are you all right?" Bruna hold C'Tack's hands... again, "Mom, you will be a grandmother." She gets up slowly, "Truth?" Bruna nods outlining a small smile,, "Oh daughter ... that's such wonderful news!" Bruna feels to be embraced by her mother, "Now I have one more reason to make my Shiva unscathed."
Since Angelica knew that Bruna's pregnant trained very hard in conjunction with the other Unbloodeds, Yeyinde and some Unbloodeds start to like the human woman, not for who she is but because she is very humble and thirsty to learn, as well respects the other Yautja.
In one occasion, the poor woman was tired on a training, Yeyinde sees her taking a rest, approaching with a canteen of water, " here, you're thirsty." She accepts, drinking with gusto, "thank you young man, I needed that." She delivers the canteen going to continue the training.
"She strives so much Ma'Ruack." Says Yeyinde very worried, the other responds,"she now has one more reason Yeyinde." The other is curious, " What?"He responds, "Have a grandchild on the way."Yeyinde look for the human eyes suits, confessing, "you know Ma'Ruack I start to see her as a mother." Ma'Ruack smiles, " Yeyinde you are amazing."The other shrugs, "I know." Ma'Ruack look for the figure of Angelica practicing in full armor, " I ask only one thing, look for her when you're in the Shiva." Yeyinde puts his hand on his chest, "rest assured." Both return to their workouts.
#####
4 more months passed and Bruna is already 5 months pregnant, and her belly already is noticing, and all have taken not to stress or to provoke her, C'Tack knows that she takes very seriously the challenges and when a woman is pregnant her humor is even more volatile.
But she continues to teach the Yautjas while can, she want to work until have the baby, because if she stay in her quarters starts going crazy, Sh'Indrara recommends her working with moderation and she does exactly that, but stays to oversee her mothers's training who progresses in plain sight, " Your mother is amazing Bruna." Praise Tjau'ke, who observes his mate training, "Is so comfortable with the Awu'asa, it's like a second skin for her." Bruna sighs feeling her mother's vibrations,knows that's suitable for her Shiva.
Angelica had been hunting with a group of experienced Predators learning a lot from them, even with its ups and downs the same Predators did question her. Bruna knew because her mother told her everything in detail.
"My mother has learned so much these months Elder Tjau'ke, she is apt to do the Shiva, but I fear losing her." Vents Bruna, "don't be,young Bruna, your mother is very humble, and recognizes his faults. I know that she will bring honor to our clan. " And puts his hand on her shoulder, to support it, "she won't fail because you have friends that will help." Bruna continues to hear and feel her mother training hard.
"When is the next Shiva?" Tjau'ke gets surprised by her question, "one more month of training, and they are ready." She remains concerned, but says nothing.
The long-awaited day arrives and Angelica part with 5 more Unbloodeds for a planet nearby, Yeyinde, Ha'Liham, Li'Hana a Yautja female, Dorian, Varian and finally Angelica, she was totally relaxed because Tjau'ke demanded that all should rest during 3 days, because didn't want them to go to the Shiva tired.
"Be careful down there, the Kainde Ametha on this planet are healthy, and a mistake can be fatal to you. And don't mark yourselves while in the colony, do it in the safety of the ship. "recommends Ma'Ruack.
"Mother don't do anything stupid down there." Bruna says while hugging Angelica, "I have faith that you will return unscathed." Angelica replies, "don't worry, I just want to get this over with once and for all." Bruna replica, "go with God mother." She responds while enters the small Shuttle, "thank you I will need His help." And the hatch closes.
Ma'Ruack look for the little human, "Ma'Ruack I have a bad feeling about this."He sighs, knowing that there will be one that will not return alive, he prefers not to say anything, not to let even more anxious.
"May God help you mother." Bruna goes out of there way to his Studio, because it needs to be quiet.
Ma'Ruack contact with C ' Tack about Bruna, "C'Tack you should go to be with your mate." On the other side C'Tack learned about Ma'Ruack concern, because knows that Ma'ruack look at Bruna as a sister, due that is concerned about her.
"Thanks Ma'Ruack."The other Yautja already can breathe of relief to learn that C'Tack won't her until Angelica finish her Shiva.
A day passed by
On the planet below, are camped 5 Yautjas and a human, have a fire lit to ward off possible wildlife and to cook their food.
"Are you feeling well Ooman" Question the female Yautja who is among them, "Nervous and with a bad feeling."Yeyinde overhears the two women and his curiosity begins to grow while look, " I'm worried about my daughter, she may lose her baby because of the stress."The female Yautja approaches the human female, " from what I heard about her, was always someone who doesn't fear anything." Angelica says only closing his eyes,"she's very brave, but also cares about the family.
Listen Li'Hana she's already lost two people, his father and his twin brother for these snakes, and she's afraid of losing me." The Yautja female comprises soon immediately, and when sees the human's gaze, lowers his head in shame, " it was not my intention to offend you Ooman."The look of Angelica softens, " my daughter I'm not upset with you, and can be quiet, didn't offended me." She breathes relief, "I want out of this Shiva, I want see my grandson born." Yeyinde feels that Li'Hana and Angelica will be great friends in the future. The Yautja rises causing the rest of the Group look to it, which in the meantime had turned the colony's hologram which is in a cave about four kilometers from the camp, "Well we have to discuss a strategy." Angelica starts to examine the ins and outs, "is a cave is not true?"The Yautja nod, but behind listen Ha'Liham, "Why you care Ooman? We know you will perish! "Yeyinde goes to intervene but Angelica puts her hand on his shoulder, "I take care of this."She approaches the Yautja in question, "I don't admit you talk with me in a disrespectful manner! Who are you anyway?! I trained hard for this day and I will not allow anyone speak in that tone with me, so I suggest that you meddle in your business and leave me alone!"The other shrugs, "is the truth Ooman."Yeyinde shoots him, "you wish you had half the energy of this Ooman, because she took the initiative to know of my plan to attack these beasts." Ha'Liham turn back to both, returning to his place on the fire.
Yeyinde continues to examine the hologram, the other 3 Yautjas and Angelica move-on hearing the plan, the human points to a section of the cave, "I will follow my gut Yeyinde in this part here." And traces a finger outlining an alternative exit, "I suspect this section here is very treacherous."Li'Hana get curious, " As so treacherous?"Angelica explains, " I looked at Yeyinde's map, and here's a wider section that has an input and an output but something tells me it's the Queen's Chamber and I bet there is eggs too." Yeyinde look very carefully for that section, seeing that Angelica is right, "What are you going to do Ooman?"She continues, "where's the Queen is, there's also Praetorian, according to what my daughter told me, can be more lethal than the Drones or another Xenomorphs categories we know, I think if we attack them together, we will have more luck, if we want reach the Queen.
I know you want to kill the Queen but if it's impossible do it, we can kill the largest possible number of Drones or Praetorian. " Varian only says while looking at the human, "you want to play safe." He puts his hand on her shoulder, "Yes Varian, I don't want your lives are wasted, but if there is no other choice we will kill the Queen." Yeyinde has some information which he had received just before, "according to R'Kahr sent us, this colony has a very elderly Queen, but at the same time very sneaky. She is also very healthy and have the strength to defend the colony, and we must be cautious. " Angelica absorbs new information, then look at the mask, "do not remove the mask as long as we're in the cave, there may be facehuggers. We Should mark ourselves at the mother's ship safety. " Dorian raises an eyebrow but must agree, he doesn't want to be impregnated due a slouch.
They continue to discuss the best strategy to attack and come out unscathed on the planet, eventually Yeyinde approaches to the human female. " not bad Ooman, your advice is valid, thank you for wanting to watch over us." She outlines a little smile without showing the teeth, " I think are my maternal instincts Yeyinde, and I see you like a son." Yeyinde shake her hand affectionately, "Well, I never thought I'd hear that from you Ooman."After all he says "Let's rest, tomorrow will be a very tough day." Moments later the Group rests.
Dawns, and the Group awakens, eat anything and are preparing for the hunt, the plan is reviewed with all the detail and moments later they walk towards the cave.
The hike lasts about 40 minutes and when they get to the cave only say to each other, "be careful and may the Gods be with you."And come inside with a lot of caution.
In the cave is pitch black, Angelica uses infrared vision due her vision is not like Yautjas, and she can see the different colors. "Now I'd be able to detect the Xenos without problems." As agreed all break up into groups of two, so they can kill more Xenos.
All journey deep in the darkness of the cave, going increasingly down, nothing escapes the scrutiny of the six hunters, because everything is vital so they can escape alive and everything is analyzed in detail, and for everything runs smoothly all communicate with each other.
In the ship
All are attentive to the group down there, they are watching their every move as well the vital signs of the six Unbloodeds who are doing the Shiva.
"Apparently they are in the cave R'Kahr." Informs C'Tack while watching their movements, "and Bruna's mother is going well." Ma'Ruack continues to look for the hologram, "the Group separated in pairs, they want to cover more ground and kill more Kainde Ametha."Tjau'Ke note also that, and stay tuned to Angelica's vitals, "Who is with her?" Ma'Ruack informs, "Li'Hana." And continue to observe the signs of the six, "they say she is an excellent Huntress." Notes Sh'Indrara that wants to watch the conduct of the action, "and well-liked in her clan." And continues watching the conduct of the action.
On the planet
"Be careful, the floor is slippery."Recommends Li'Hana to Angelica, the two are communicating with the other doubles, to know if everything is running normal.
Suddenly begin to appear Xenos and the two women end up with them all, and when Li'Hana was to take the mask off ,the human hold her hand, "But what do you think you're doing, you want to be impregnated?"The Yautja look at the human, "have you forgotten the recommendations that were made?"The Yautja hand down sighing, "thank you for reminding me." Angelica take off a finger from a dead Xeno and place it on a little purse very carefully to avoid the corrosive blood.
"Let's get out of here before arrives more of these beasts!"The female duo comes out of there,while listening the others ' communications, which also had already done their slaughter, when the teams gather Yeyinde see that Angelica brings a trophy, the spike of a Xenos tail, " Just bring it?"And points to the head of a xeno that is at his back, "I have my reasons Yeyinde."She looks around seeing that lack a Hunter, "where is Ha'Liham?"Everyone's looking around seeing what Angelica wanted to say, " he was right behind me Yeyinde."Speak Dorian, on the other hand Li'Hana begins watching what surrounds it, when hears a statement, "I'm in the Queen's Chamber."Dorian knew right away, "I said that Ell-osde Pauke to stay away from there without us!"Varian take his spear back, " we have to go after him."Yeyinde puts his hand on the arm of his friend, "he's rushing."Angelica connects the hologram, seeing each section of the cave, but translated into English, beginning to analyze the map the cave, finally, " He hastened to go after the Queen." Yeyinde knew immediately, should have thought first in how should have analyzed the situation, "it will bring dishonor to our clans, let's go after him." Everyone agreed it immediately, going after of the other Yautja.
On The Ship
"Amazing C Tack, Sh'Indrara told me that my mother made her Shiva without getting hurt! Also told me that the stupidity of Ha'Liham will cost them their lives." C ' Tack look at the hologram, "He went nuts, should have thought about a strategy before he got in this mess." R'Kahr just says while looking at the hologram, "is the female Ooman that will save our Young bloods, but I think Ha'Liham is lost."Bruna hold the Yautja forearm, " I appreciate your words R'Kahr, but..."R'Kahr points to the dots, " The Ooman's strategy is very good, if they work together can get out alive from there."Bruna sighs, " God hears you R'Kahr!"
In the cave
When they are close to the Queen's Chamber, the Praetorian appear surrounding them, gently they remove all the Spears and activate the wrist blades, always attentive to the Praetorian movements, "I've never seen up close these Praetorian, are magnificent!" Li'Hana is questioned due Angelica's words, the human had changed to her normal vision and could see their true color and size as well as their Crest, similar to the Queen but in smaller version, "They are beautiful but very dangerous."Li'Hana raises an eyebrow even underneath the mask, "she went crazy!"Angelica realizes, "despite its ugliness they have that beauty itself Li'Hana that's all."The Yautja female guessed immediately, the human never gets distracted while watch them, then she detect a weakness but expects the Praetorian advance, what in fact happens, Angelica advances, managing to avoid the claws and the second pair of lethal teeth, Yeyinde thinks she's in trouble and went help her but before he could do something, the Xeno is on the floor without its head.
"By Paya... " The other Praetorian start attacking them from everywhere, but the five starts to slaughter them, there were some injuries but nothing serious, and slowly advance to the Queen's Chamber, always with the Praetorian in tow.
Angelica could see the real aspect of the Queen, watched her intently, but a light noise makes her look to the right side wall; Ha'Liham is stuck in a strange resinous substance without any chance of escape, and on its face is an odd spider, Varian look for Yautja who is stuck, " he's lost."Yeyinde look for the Queen that however had already hissed to the Praetorian to stay away, Dorian realizes, " Look the Praetorian are retreating Yeyinde."Angelica puts the mask in x-ray mode to observe into Ha'Liham's interior, " this isn't famous, the embryo is fully formed." The Others do the same thing and know what the human mean, meanwhile Li'Hana caught Ha'Liham's mask, placing it on her waist.
"He has disgraced our clans, now we have to kill the Queen."
Following the human strategy, all surrounded the Queen, who is visibly furious, and called the Praetorian to defend her, what in fact happens, they occur at the Queen and start to attack the five hunters, " Li'Hana, Ooman we must put an end to the Praetorian!" Orders Yeyinde, Angelica activates the wrist blades "Right,Yeyinde, you three try to exterminate the Queen and clean the honor of our clans."The female duo starts attacking the Praetorian away from the 3 males which surround the Queen, attacking her simultaneously.
On the ship.
All observe the 4 working in a team, the two women are driving away the dreaded Praetorian while the other 3 are attacking the Queen, while saw Ha'Liham stuck to the wall, "at the moment Ha'Liham is stuck in the wall."Tjau'ke sees another heartbeat, "He let himself impregnate with a parasite."Ma'Ruack look at the Yautja's signal, " Your mate was right, said that he was going to have big troubles C'Tack."Then sigh, " he dishonored the clan with their reckless acts."Bruna enters the control room with Sh'Indrara, " and the others have to clear the name of the clan by killing the Queen."All turned to Bruna who sighs, "I just hope they escape alive from this."The other Yautjas look at the blind human, knowing that was right, "C'Tack how's my mother?" The Yautja responds not taking the eyes from the hologram, "doing well Bruna." The blind girl sigh of relief, "thank goodness." C'Tack is very worried about her, "Bruna you must think of the baby inside you." She assures him while interlocks fingers in C'Tack's, "I'm just going to chill out when my mom is safe among us." He squeezes her hand affectionately, "She will pull through." A little smile formed at the Blind's girl lips.
In the Cave.
The female duo continues to back off and killing Praetorian, even with some difficulty can take care of them until they hear a scream coming from the Queen and then a loud bang, "they managed to kill the Queen!"Think Angelica, moments after hearing the three Yautjas roaring get's satisfied. The two females were retreating towards the others, that helped to dispose of them.
Angelica see the strange spider fell of the face of Ha'Liham which is still unconscious, but Varian keep watching the embryo while gathering some trophies, which takes some time.
Angelica has the head of a Praetorian and a drone, as well as a few teeth because want to make a neckless.
Then they hear moans of distress coming from Ha'Liham, "Just put him out of his misery, Yeyinde."With two clean shots from the plasma caster, Yeyinde kills the companion as well the hybrid who would erupt from Ha'Liham's chest.
"It's not your fault Yeyinde, he was the one who caused his downfall and dishonored the clan." Ensures Dorian while puts his hand on Yeyinde's shoulder, "my son you are a good leader." Said Angelica with a little smile, "Let's get out of here before appear more Praetorian and Drones."Advises Angelica.
They all run for their lives, with the Xenos in their trail, while killing some along the way, Yeyinde grabs Angelica putting her on his back, running out from the danger.
In the distance the drones and some Praetorian heard a hiss, due to one of the Praetorian had assumed the Queen's place, the hunters noticed that breathing of relieve, "Thanks Paya."Whispered Yeyinde.
Everybody goes to the shuttle that is properly camouflaged and far away from the cave, but before entering they check for face-huggers housed in each hole on the vehicle, as well on its interior; in fact there are some in the thrusters, so Varian start the engines killing them right immediately, then do another scan and get another one, who is killed right away by Angelica, which makes another survey, not finding any more.
"We are out of danger and no more weird spiders."None of them took off his mask, and moments later they were already on their way to the Mother ship, Angelica breathe of relief, "thank heavens that we got away with it.
Yeyinde you could communicate with the ship? I want to take a weight off from my daughter's and mate shoulders, if you please. "The young Yautja does exactly that to his delight.
Angelica survived to her Shiva, thanks to a good team work and Yeyinde's who help her run away from the Xenos. She even called him son!
They were cautious in not removing their masks, due the face-huggers crawling around them, and probably their lives were saved by that cautious act.
By the way... never mess with a feminine duo, they wiped the floor with the Praetorian... totally.
All the five will receive the clan mark, but inside of the mother ship.
And Ha'Liham well... he died due his stubbornness and for being sloppy, never paid attention to their companions and Bruna's advises.
Until the next and last Chapter folks!
I appreciate constructive reviews, thank you very much.
