Insane to Oomans, Perfection to Yautja (Male Yautja x Masc Female)

A Quiet Talk

It became night so quickly, it felt as if I had just blinked, then night was upon us. We had stopped to rest, we couldn't make a fire because Cooper said that it would give us too much attention,  it didn't seem to bother anyone. We all settled on piles of leaves that were deemed safe by Cooper, he seemed to know a lot about this place. I laid down and looked up trying to see through the leaves above. I started to close my eyes and soon I fell asleep, but time passed and later I was poked in the side, causing me to wake up. I looked over to see Zach, he seemed to be the only person to be awake by now. "H-How long was I out?" I stuttered.

"For a few hours, when you fell asleep, everyone settled on a watch schedule. They told me to wake you up when it's your turn." 

"Sh- am I the last person?" 'How could they decide this without me?!' 

"No, you will wake up Cooper when you think you've done two hours of watching." Zach stated not even looking me in my eyes, he seemed distracted, he was staring off in the distance.

"What are you looking at?" I sit up to look over where he was looking only to see nothing but jungle. 

"They're watching, I can feel it." I felt a chill go up my spine at the comment. The feeling of being watched did not make me feel good. 

"Well now I know I'll be able to stay up for two hours, or all night." I chuckled, Zach didn't laugh but I saw a smirk appear on his face.

"Just make sure to get Cooper up when your times up and to try to get as much sleep as you can, you need the energy." He yawned and went to lay down. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." I sounded uneasy, I was sure of it. I stood up, looking around Zach for a gun to defend myself with, I thought that they would give the watcher a gun when they had to go out, but I was wrong, he didn't have one. 'Well that's bullshit, what do they want to happen, they want me to die?!' It pissed me off but I remembered that I still had a job to do either way, so I grabbed the sharpest branch I could find and ventured off. I saw some footprints from the others when they were on watch, I decided to follow them to make sure not to go too far from camp. The jungle was much more terrifying at night, you could barely see anything and the only light you had was the eyes of animals staring at you in the dark. I could feel myself tremble but I kept going, it had felt like I was out here for hours when it was really just five minutes. It was pretty silent for the most part, most noise came from my shoes breaking branches and stepping on leaves. My legs were shaking and my hands were twitching so much that I had to stop, I needed to take a breather. "Ok just breath Ace, breath." I breathed in, then out. I did this for a bit until I felt more relaxed. 

"Alright see? Your fine, just stay calm, all you gotta do is watch the camp, then you can go wake Cooper and go back to slee-mmMMHMmM!" I was grabbed from behind, they covered my mouth and held my arms down. 'Fuck my twig ass!' I screamed in my head. I squirmed and kicked to try to break free but I couldn't. Whoever this was, they were strong. I tried to bite their hand but just as I bit them I stopped, they were scaly, and very warm, and tasted like dirt, 'What the fuck?'. I kept trying to make them put me down but no matter what I did, it didn't seem to bother them. I tried to see who they were but they kept my head pointing straight ahead. I was at the point of giving up, but then I heard a clicking noise. 

I look up to see 3 freakishly tall, armor covered aliens. I froze in fear, I was surrounded by the hunters. The three all had armor and masks but I could see that they were all so different, the middle one had a greyish white skin tone and a long lizard like tail. The one on his right was navy blue and the shortest of the three. The one on the left was a greenish yellow, with what I think is a prosthetic arm. The middle one walked up to me, I started to tremble, afraid of what will come of me. He got down to my level, he moved his hand only slightly and it made me flinch. He kept moving it, it took him a bit but he moved it into a shape that was oddly familiar, he was shushing me? 

"Quiet-Stay-Quiet." The voice was so distorted and mixed but I got the message. I decided in the moment to go with it, maybe they would let me live? I nodded my head hoping they knew what it meant. The one in front of me moved, nodding towards the person behind me. They let me go, I gasped for air then I looked behind me to see another hunter, this one was the tallest of them all, he had pale green skin, their species seemed to have many different colored people. I looked up at the greyer one, waiting for the next command. They clicked amongst themselves, then looked back at me. "Brave-One." The yellow one spoke for the first time, he sounded a bit different from the other one.  

"W-what?" 

"You-Brave-One." The grey one explained.

"Umm, ok? W-what do you want from me?" They looked at me blankly. 

"We-Want-You-To-Show-Us." The yellow one stopped, waiting for a response.

"Show you?"

"Show-Us-You-Strength." The grey one seemed to be helping the yellow one speak. 

"My strength?" 'I am soooo confused.' The grey one clicked to the blue one, he jerked when he realized he was being spoken to, he reached to his side and grabbed something. They all suddenly got much closer, practically choking me. "Umm what's going on?" I tried to speak but they didn't seem to be listening. They all stopped, they were so close that I could feel their body heat radiate off of them. The blue one gave something to the grey one, he got down to my face and put out his hand, opening it to reveal a knife. It was beautiful, it had carvings all over the blade and a amazing looking handle. He nudged it towards me, I didn't understand what he was trying to say.

"It-Is-You-Knife"

"Wait- R-really?" 

"Yes-Use-It-To-Kill."

"Kill?" 

"Yes-Kill-The-Wise-One." 'Wise one? Whose the wise one?' I thought to myself.

"O-ok, b-but why?" They gave me another long silence then spoke.

"You-Live-If-You-Kill-Wise-One." Hearing those words made my heart sing, I suddenly got very calm.

"I'll be free?" They looked at each other in silence, the yellow started clicking to the grey one which got the blue one starting to click, soon they were all clicking. Once they had finished, the grey one looked back down at me. 

"You-Will-Live." He stated, placing the knife in my hand. "Now-Go-Stay-Quiet." I nodded, placing the knife in my pocket. I slowly backed away, I kept my eye on them as they did me. Once I got far enough, I ran, all the way back to camp. I was panting when I got there, 'Was it really that far?' I look up over to the others sleeping. 

"Oh Shi- gotta get Cooper up." I ran over to him and knelt down to shake him, as I touched him he grabbed my hand. "What the fuck?-" 

"Don't touch me, I'm up." He sounded more grumbly then before. 

"Alright, fine calm down- grumpy pants." I mumbled the last part, I was still wanting to keep some what peace with him. I laid down on my leaves and got comfy. "Goodnight." He gave me a long silence, making me think that I wasn't gonna respond.

"Next time, don't get distracted out there, you don't know whose watching." That sentence made me shiver, what did he mean? I was too tired to dwell on it so I gave him a dry response as I fell asleep.

"Ok."
