Chapter 2: Unexpected Guests
See what happens in chapter two!
Mercy was laying next to Xenan, who was hugging her while sleeping. She turned to face his black banana-like head. She kissed his forehead gently and carefully got up, trying not to wake him up. "Where are you going?" Mercy heard and turned around to see Xenan already up. "I have to check if there are any news." - She answered. "Okay, take care." - Xenan replied before kissing her and getting out through the window. He climbed down the tree their house was built on and searched for Erik.
"Hey Seth, did you hear the news?" - Erik asked the predator. "About the soldiers nearby? Yeah, do you want to come with me to scout their camp?" "Yeah, why not?" "Okay, but you need to be quiet and out of their sight, otherwise, there is a big chance to be captured or worse." "Hey, Erik! Where are you going?" - Xenan asked. Erik turned to face the xenomorph and answered "Me and Seth are gonna scout the camp of the soldiers." "Oh, well take care and I want to talk to you... privately." "Okay, Seth I will be right back. Don't go without me." Xenan and Erik went a little bit deeper in the forest and the xenomorph asked "Erik, I have a question. Who do you think is stronger - predators or xenomorphs?" "Oh my, why do you need to know?" - Erik asked, looking confused at Xenan. "I just want to know." "Well I don't know. I think humans are the strongest." Erik answered, laughing. Xenan remembered by hive memories how predators and xenomorphs were in war and how both of the species were killing each other. "Hey Xenan, are you okay, bro? Because there are soldiers nearby." - Erik asked and Xenan just shaked his head and said "What?! Where?." "They've landed probably yesterday and me and Seth are going to search for their camp." "Okay, just watch not to be noticed by the soldiers." With that, the xenomorph went on a tree and after that started jumping on the trees, getting into the forest. Erik went back to Seth and said "I am ready, let's go." The predator nodded and gave Erik a spear and they both went into the forest.
"Hey Stan, any news?" - Mercy asked and Stanley looked at her and said "Oh hi Mercy, yeah some soldiers have landed somewhere nearby." "If they discover that Xenan is here, they are going to kill him!" "Calm down Mercy, they won't find him. He is a xenomorph, he knows how to hide." "I know, but I am worried about him." Mercy looked around, not seeing Xenan and that got her even more worried. "I hope he's okay..." - She said to herself while walking towards some people from their camp.
Erik walked slowly and quietly, trying not get noticed by the soldiers nearby. Seth had made himself invisible and didn't have problems with being seen at all. They saw what the soldiers had built and it was some kind of a base, still under construction. Seth looked at Erik and quietly said "Let's get out of here, but before that, let's see who is behind this." The predator saw a lone soldier behind a building and went towards him. Seth hit him, knocking the soldier out and nobody noticed what just had happened. Seth grabbed the body and got out of there, running back into their camp. Erik followed and soon enough, they both were in their camp. They got the soldier on a chair and tied ropes on his arms, legs and body.
Xenan ran to a small house he had built in case the soldiers came. He knew that this day would come and prepared himself for it. He got some pulse rifles and some other weapons he had found in the ruins of the spaceship crash and in some other places. He after that headed to his camp. After running on trees for twenty minutes, he was home and gathered all of the people of the camp on one place. It was getting dark, so they all gathered around a fireplace already filled with wood and fire. Xenan showed all the weapons and said "You will need them, so take one of the weapons and hide them somewhere where you can easily find them if you need them. I think you all heard that soldiers landed somewhere nearby and hopefully, they will leave. But if they don't and even attack us, we will be able to defend ourselves." The people firstly looked at each other and after that took the weapons and hid them in their houses. They had to defend themselves in a case of emergency.
After his speech and after everyone went back to their houses, Mercy hugged Xenan and said "I don't want to lose you... ever. I want you always to be next to me and give me the courage to keep up in life." She started sobbing and Xenan returned the embrace. They both went to their house and hugged each other and Mercy said "Good night, Xenan." "Good night, my love." He answered and kissed her. After that they slept in each other's embrace. They were worried for what was happening. Mercy would kill anyone who tried to take Xenan away from her. He would do the same for her.
