Predator - The Banished

Chapter 19 - Samantha

This is a picture of Samantha taken by Eliana 

The next morning...

Samantha woke up, rays of sunshine dancing on her eyelids. It was morning already. She had the strangest dream. It had been of Kyrum and herself wrapped around each other...strange.

She slid out of bed, fully dressed, and threw open the slightly open curtains. Sunlight flooded the room, and the mood instantly raised.

Samantha then realized that school was still a thing, and that she needed to get there.

Quickly, she grabbed her still packed bag and rushed out of the dorm and out onto the busy sidewalk, where she was nearly trampled by a bunch of other students going to school. Samantha slipped into the hoard of people and trooped along with them to Weyland-Yutani University of Science. It was not a very long walk, only about a quarter of a mile. 

After a few minutes of silence, they all arrived at the menacing-looking doors. They were tall, and painted a deep brown. Almost everyone shuddered walking through them.

Samantha got to the lecture hall, and put her things down. Time for another lecture. Math this time, too. What a bore. It was going to be quite a day. 

Everyone settled into their seats, and went quiet as Ms. Doner walked down to the little podium with the smartboard. She was very old, and walked with a cane. It was assumed that if you touched her with your pinky, she would disintegrate on the spot. 

Ms. Donor finally got up to the podium, and hooked up the little microphone. As her tiny, frail voice began to fill the room, Samantha found that she could not stop thinking about the alien she had met. It was the only thing on her mind. Well...he was an alien. Like, from outer space. 

But what really bothered her was that...well...she was rather attracted to this space alien. Well, he was a pretty jacked up, tall, smooth criminal, so what else would she feel? Afraid? 

A sudden flash at the window. A glow of yellow eyes. What the hell...? Wait a minute...she knew this...

It was Kyrum. At her fucking school. 

Samantha shot up in her seat, and gawked at the window. Every head slowly swiveled around to face her. Realizing how stupid she must look, she quickly sat down again. 

"Miss Trojan, are you all right?" asked Ms. Donor in her squeaky voice. 

"Yes yes I'm fine. Thank you," Samantha replied. Before Ms. Donor started talking again, Samantha quickly added, "Can I use the restroom?" 

"Certainly, dear." 

She rushed out of the lecture hall and outside the double doors. 

"Kyrum! You retard!! Where are you?" she hissed to the still air. Then, she heard rapid clicking behind her and turned as he uncloaked. 

"What the fucking hell are you doing here!! Vanish again or something!! Someone will see you!!!" she nearly cried. He didn't move. After a few moments, he spoke, in his deep, growling voice.

"What were you doing in there, ooman?" 

Samantha's worry turned to rage. 

"You idiot!! You came here just to see what I was doing?!" 

He nodded. 

"Fine...I was learning about math." she said with a sigh. 

"I see." Kyrum remained stationary. Then he turned around with his back to her.

"Where I come from...we do not learn. We fight." 

Then in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
