So who saw the new Predator movie? I personally liked it but the CGI kinda ruined it for me in regards to a certain character in the movie.

Summary: Lex thought she would never see the Predator that marked her with a mysterious symbol ever since the battle in Antartica. While leading yet another expedition, this time in the jungles of the Amazon, she runs into the very same alien that had been on her mind since. How will Scar react to seeing her after recovering from his near fatal wound?

Chapter IX

When Scar and Lex returned to the ship, the Predator reported to the Elders that the Queen had been disposed of and her body destroyed. The Elders congratulated the pair on taking down their second Queen and gathered the rest of the warriors. With everyone back on the ship, they took off from the planet, not even giving Lex a chance to say goodbye to the Na'vi. Now she sulked towards her room, not even acknowledging Scar or the rest of her team despite Glaive trying to catch her attention.

Once back inside the safety of her room, Lex stripped off her armor and threw herself onto the bed face first.

She was angry.

Angry at Scar.

Now that she had officially completed a hunt with him, she realized just how different being a human and a Yautja truly was.

All Scar and his clan cared about were killing the top species for sport.

They didn't care about befriending anyone.

That was the bitter reality Lex refused to accept.

Someone knocked at the room to her door, jolting Lex back from her thoughts as she went over to open it. Scar was standing on the other side, his mask off and mandibles opened in a sign of worry.

"What do you want?" she asked bitterly.

"Lex mad," the Predator noted.

"No shit. Thanks for stating the obvious," she replied sarcastically.

"What happen?"

"You know what happened! I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye!"

The Yautja gestured towards her room, asking permission to enter which Lex reluctantly granted. The last thing she needed was the other Predators witnessing their quarrel and then talking about it for days on end.

"We hunt prey, we not make friends."

"I got it after the abrupt takeoff from the planet."

Scar walked up to Lex and gently touched her shoulder, but she flinched and smacked his hand away. She was upset by their code, their way of living, it just didn't suit her. She wasn't some cold-blooded human who hunted for fun like the Predators did. No, she had compassion, mercy, and benevolence. These were what made her Alexa Woods, a human who felt for other species no matter their origins.

"You not wish to become warrior?" Scar cocked his head to the side and studied her carefully.

"You already marked me as one. Scar, I can't fight or behave the way like you do. I'm a human being, I have emotions, I feel things. I'm not some cold-blooded monster who hunts for fun," Lex tried to explain, pointing to her heart for emphasis.

The Predator clicked his mandibles together in confusion.

"Forget it. You don't understand anyways," Lex huffed, sitting down on the bed angrily.

The Predator stood by the door and observed Lex silently. He was not a human, Scar didn't know how to make her feel better. Just as he was about to say something, his wrist-comp went off and he saw a message from his mother. She wanted to see him and asked him to bring Lex along for some reason.

"Mother want see you," Scar said.

Lex raised an eyebrow at this.

"Your mom wants to see me?"

Scar nodded once.

Wondering why Scar's mother of all Predators would want to see her, Lex got up from her bed and followed him down the hall.

According to the Predator, there were several parts to the mothership. Warriors like himself and Lex had access to the hunter's quarters of the ship, while females and those with pups are in the other end of the ship, an area designed as a nursery of sorts where pups can be close to their mothers but still be able to see their fathers when desired. Lex followed Scar quietly but she was carefully observing her surrounding areas, noting just how advanced their technology was compared to hers back on Earth.

She was the one who suddenly felt like a primative.

"Here," Scar suddenly said.

The two stopped in front of a door and Scar punched in a code on the pad. The door hissed with air and slid open, giving the two access within. Lex's eyes adjusted to the light and she saw a older female cradling a younger one, while the other she recognized as Arrow.

Arrow saw Lex and immediately attached himself to her leg, amusing Scar as the older Predator stepped inside.

Scar's mother looked up and purred gently at her son then her eyes fell upon Lex.

"H-Hello," she said nervously.

"Mother likes you," Scar said after his mother clicked something to him.

"That's good," Lex breathed, struggling to walk with Arrow on her leg.

Arrow brought Lex over to a corner of the room and thrust some foreign toys at her. Lex amused him by playing along while Scar sat down beside his mother.

She is the one you told me of?

Yes. Her name is Lex, the one I wish to be with.

Does she know that?

Scar's demeanor shifted and the Predator fidgeted on the bed. Dice noticed the way her son was behaving and rested a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

Did something happen between you two?

I think she is upset with me, with our ways and how we hunt.

You must remember she is not of Yautja Prime. Wherever her planet is, I can tell the inhabitants all have emotions. She is not a cold-blooded warrior like you are, she has love and compassion for others.

Lex's laughter drifted over to the duo and both glanced over to find Arrow crawling onto Lex's back and clinging there.

She has a nice laugh.

She does.

My dear son, if you wish to get along with her, you must try and understand her.

What is there to understand mother?

See the world through her eyes.

His mother's words left the Predator even more confused than he already was. By that point Lex had gotten up and went over to where he was sitting, with Arrow still clinging to her back.

"Help me," she said with another laugh.

Scar reached over and easily plucked his younger brother off Lex's back.

Be nice.

But I was having fun!

Dice purred and beckoned at Lex while the two brothers talked to one another. Lex sat down opposite Scar and smiled at his mother, she could tell his mother was a gentle Predator, the way she behaved and how she interacted with her children, she loved them all very much.

"This Dice, my mother. She is Chaser, younger sister."

"Chaser? That's a weird name for a girl."

It didn't take long for Lex to figure out why the younger sister was called Chaser. The moment Dice set her on the floor, the little pup took off and literally chased Arrow around the entire room.

"That's why," Lex said and laughed again.

Scar's mother made some motions with her hands and Lex tried her best to figure out what she was saying. Dice kept motioning to Scar before pointing to the area where her heart is, then she realized what Dice was trying to ask.

"Are you trying to ask if I like Scar?"

She purred in response.

"I..."

Lex didn't know how to answer.

Did she like Scar?

Yes, she did.

Did she want to be with Scar?

Yes, she wants to.

So why was Dice asking her this?

"I don't know. I mean...I like him...but we're two different species..."

Dice motioned again and this time she was pointing to Scar.

"You want to say he likes me?"

She nodded.

That just opened up a whole new can of worms for Lex.

How was she going to react now that his mom just dropped a bombshell on her?

To be continued...

Review?

Sorry for the short chapter, but I've been feeling a little under the weather.

I'll update as soon as I'm feeling better!

Some lover's quarrel between the two in the meantime ;]

Leave it to Scar's mom to blow the confession XD

See you next time!
