The Friend in a Xenomorph

Chapter 24: Taking Notes

Dominick's POV

Me and Xylia got the hosts back to the hive. Strapped them to the wall and prepared two eggs for them. Not scrambled eggs.... but Xenomorph eggs that have Facehuggers inside that will impregnate you with a Xenomorph..... I don't even think you could cook a Xenomorph egg.

I think sometimes, about the reason I'm fine with people getting killed by Xenomorph births, I was a human, you'd think I'd at least feel bad or think of some alternate way of doing it..... But I always find I'm a lot more Xenomorph minded then I think. Xylia always says It's what my heart wants...... what my Xenomorph heart wants anyway. And I know my human heart is almost gone.

I decided to clear my thoughts by sorting through the attic of my house. All this junk my parents left behind, I was thinking of shipping all of it to them but two things. This colony has no mail service anymore, and I don't know where my parents live!

I was going through a box filled with old clothes when I found a Hamster shirt, the very one I wore when I met Xylia. I sniffed it, smelled like the attic. I hung it over my dorsal tube and kept looking around. I found a doll that belonged to Edith, My mom's watch... the one she lost how many years ago! And more junk.

[Xylia]"What's going on up here?" I turn around to see Xylia peeking up through the attic hatch. [Dominick]"Going through some stuff, found the shirt I wore when we became friends." She grabbed it. [Xylia]"It smells like the attic." I start laughing. [Dominick]"That's what I said when I smelled it." [Xylia]"Come downstairs when you can. I have some words for you." She then went back downstairs. [Dominick]"You got it." I climbed downstairs. She was in our bedroom. (My old bedroom)

[Dominick]"What do you need?" She was looking out the window. I Stepped next to her and also looked out. [Xylia]"I was thinking, Maybe we could plant some flowers outside, they would make your window view way better." I leaned against her. [Dominick]"Romantic is what it is." We started holding hands.

[Xylia]"You're being rather flattering." She looked at me. I caught myself flirting with her.... Why? [Dominick]"Oh um... yeah I guess I am. Instinct?" [Xylia]"Every guy says that." [Dominick]"How would you know that?" I said giggling to myself. [Xylia]"The memories of hosts are put into the hive-mind, and from what I can think of it's what men say a lot."

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the hive mind towards us. [Grace]"Dominick, Xylia. Please come to my chamber, it's something urgent for you." We huffed, [Xylia]"Yes Sister. Come on Nicky." I smiled at her.

We traveled to the main Hive area which is now located in the center of town. Grace settled down in the main core of the colony, but it's turned off so nothing bad can happen.

We entered the Queen's presence and sat down on the chairs I set up some time ago. [Dominick]"What is it?" [Grace]"It has come to my knowledge that a capsule addressed to you has landed here." I looked at Grace confused. [Dominick]"What does that mean?" [Grace]"It means a box crash landed nearby that is addressed for you... like a package? Is that what you humans call them?" [Dominick]"I Got Mail? Where?" [Grace]"Right here. Two of your brothers are bringing it in. I have a room you can go in for privacy." [Dominick]"Thanks."

As said two Xenomorph brought it in and delivered it to me. [Grace]"Before you annoy me and ask, that room is down the hall to the left. Then take the 3rd right." [Dominick]"Alright, Come on Xylia."

We went ahead into the private room with the box and opened it. [Dominick]"Now, before I actually open the box. What do you think is in it?" [Xylia]"Something from your Human friends and family?" [Dominick]"Um..... I was also thinking that." I opened the box.

Inside was a series of notes and a bag. I went for the letters first, there were four of them. They were from.... My Parents, Larson, Owen and the Predator? Why was the predator sending ME a letter? [Xylia]"ooh, let's read them. Do we take turns?"

[Dominick]"Sure. I'll read my Parent's letter first. Let's see... "Dear Dominick. How has it been? Has been being a Xenomorph been treating you well? We'd love to visit but I think we both know that's a bad idea. Love you Dominick, See you sometime in the future. Love, your parents Carla and Rodger." I just love letters. You read the next one Xylia."

[Xylia]"This one's from Larson, it says "Hey Dominick, things been well? Everyone else misses you a lot. Also, I have a person question. Have you and Xylia done the 'Thing' yet"...... oh.... I um don't want to read anymore.... your turn."

I blushed a little bit about the thought of me and Xylia doing the THING. [Dominick]"Ok this ones from Owen. "From Plymouth and Owen. We wanted to say hi, Plymouth laid an egg and I have to get surgery to remove it... You're a Xenomorph, how do we work around Plymouth being a Queen? Send a letter back to us if you can, Hannah doesn't know nothing about being a Queen. What about you're Queen?" Well that isn't disturbing, what did the Predator send us?"

[Xylia]"Um. "Hello human, I heard about you becoming a Serpent, I have been accepted back into the honor system of my kind, although some lawful procedures bare in order. I have informed them to stay away from the moon your hive is on as a sign of friendship, you deserve a lot of honor, I sent you a little trophy to represent that." that must be what that bag was about. Go on and open it!"

I pulled the bag out and opened it, it was a Predator helmet. [Xylia]"Cool, try it on." I shrugged and put it over my head.... didn't work. [Dominick]"Nah, He said it was a trophy, So that it shall remain." [Xylia]"Ok"

We went back to the house and I put the Trophy mask up on the wall, more like stuck it to the wall with resin.

[Xylia]"I don't like the way it looks out like that, put it someplace else." [Dominick]"Fine, will do Xylia." I unstuck it from the wall and placed it in what used to be the kitchen. [Dominick]"Is it fine?" [Xylia]"yes. It looks perfect Dominick." Which Xylia said in a loving tone.

I looked at Xylia and smiled. I was so happy I met her, she changed my entire life. [Xylia]"Hey. After you're done messing with that trophy, follow me into the bedroom. I want to talk to you." She walked off.

I sat down and pondered a moment before catching up with her.
