- This is the end of me. Aurelia thought, as the xenomorph dragged her by the arms through the ventilation and into the nest.
She noticed that he was extremely slow and careful, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally break her neck. From what she saw, they were never gentle, even with each other.
They finally got there, she felt like throwing up at the sight of dead people stuck to the walls. She saw some famous people.
What hurt her the most was the sight of Samantha, she and Samantha were the only lesbians here, the day the xenomorphs broke free they were supposed to meet and have a drink.
As the Alien carrying her slung over his shoulder passed Samantha's body, she quickly reached out and closed her eyes.
- Rest in peace.
He took her off his shoulder and put her on her feet, turning her around and this was the way she saw it. Queen. She towered over her, there were eggs everywhere, she was surprised that no facehugger had caught her yet, two large proterians stood on the sides of the queen, not paying much attention to her, no wonder what she, a small human woman ,could do, no gun.
The queen caught her and raised her at head level, the queen touched her head to her forehead, after a while she heard a feminine, almost soothing voice in her head.
- Can you hear me?
There was a theory that the aliens, or at least the queen, were capable of communicating with other species. This theory just turned out to be true
- Yes. She replied, not sure what would happen next.
- That's good... Said the Queen... I remember you from the time of my imprisonment. You were among those who called themselves scientists, right? ... Aurelia nodded... I have a proposition for you.
Aurelia's eyes widened, what could the alien queen want from her?
- The disease is spreading among my children. You've probably seen the effect before... Aurelia nodded... I want you to find a cure for this. If you succeed, I will let you live, and you won't have to hide from us anymore.
- I can try... Aurelia started... But there is no guarantee that I will succeed.
The Queen set her down.
- It may be hard to believe, but I love my children... Said the Queen... I just want them to be healthy. One of them will accompany you.
The Queen pointed behind Aurelie. Aurelia turned around and her jaw dropped.
This xenomorph was more feminine than even the queen, she was the same height as Aurelia, she had a pair of black eyes with small white dots, she had no tail, her lips were more human, and most noticeable of all, she had breasts, black like the rest of her body, with slightly lighter nipples.
- She will watch over you... Said the queen... Now go. Every day is a moment when my next child may die.
- Come with me. Said the xenomorph
Aurelia noticed that instead of her inner jaw she had a human tongue, her pronunciation was a bit broken, but she could be understood.
Aurelia followed her companion, staring at the place where her back ended its noble name.
