Memories Faded

Chapter 4: Settling in

Despite the lingering effects of the sedative you were able to stay conscious during the journey through the dense jungle.

Your arms came to wrap around the thick neck of the alien that carried you so carefully in his arms.

At times you even held conversation.

You told him your name and he told you his.

His true name unknown he preferred to call himself Berserker. This you found an oddly fitting name for him despite only knowing him in these few moments.

He told you about him and his friends. About his species.

A moment passed as he carefully balanced on in one arm while using the other to pull you both up over a fallen tree.

In this moment you took your chances and spoke.

"Why am I here?" Berserker had been expecting this question from the moment you arrived.

Without skipping a beat, he pulled you closer to him purring softly as you both now stood atop the large pile of fallen trees.

"You are perfect to us. The final member of our family. We wish to court you."

Your heart fluttered rapidly in your chest as he spoke. Your face flushed as everything slowly connected together and you realized why they were so kind to you.

They all wanted to be with you. Which was flattering but how would something of this nature even work?

Not waiting for your response Berserker carried on sensing he was close to his destination

Soon enough you broke free of the hick jungle to find a large space ship like nothing you had ever imagined before.

Its armored exterior terrified you slightly though seeing Tracker stood outside waiting for you both was reassuring in a strange new way.

Closing the final few meters between you Tracker said something in his native tongue to Berserker as you were handed over allowing the large predator to hurry off into the ship glancing back to watch the two of you slowly following behind.

"Welcome home." Tracker said cheerily as you entered the ship. The hallways were massive meant to accommodate those of the alien's stature not your own. Though none the less Tracker made his way through the ship before finding his way into a wide hall way with door on each side.

Tracker nodded at each door as you passed listing off their names accordingly.

Falconer's room was first then his own and finally Berserker's. Stopping in front of the last door it slid open to reveal a decent sized room with a bed and a small table and seating area.

"Yours." Tracker said simply as he set you down carefully on the edge of the bed.

Walking over to the opposite side of the room he slid the door open to reveal a small bathroom.

Tracker distracted by disappearing into your bathroom for a moment gave you the time to look around and really start to process everything that was happening.

You couldn't remember much of anything before this so its not like this was all that bad an outcome. Though as you contemplated things you found you were not opposed to joining the "family" as Berserker had put it.

With a soft sigh you let your head roll back so you stared up at the ceiling.

"Guess I'm part of the family now huh." You muttered softly chuckling convinced you had only said it aloud to yourself.

Though tracker was now striding over to you from across the room his curiosity much more than peaked. Kneeling before you the Yautja purred heavily as he took your hands into his and looked you over curiously.

You couldn't help but laugh as he practically trembled in excitement before you.

"Sorry big guy you weren't supposed to hear that."

Tracker trilled excitedly nonetheless as he could hardly contain himself at this point.

With a smile you pulled the large yautja forward and was immediately tackled into the bed as the yautja attempted to nuzzle into your shoulders and jaw.

Grabbing hold of his mask tracker haphazardly tossed it aside before returning to his task of scenting and nuzzling into you.

You couldn't help but laugh and kick out as his dreads tickled your neck and shoulders as they brushed over you.

His large hands rested on your waist rubbing at your sides through your shirt as he purred his chest rumbling as he pressed against you.

Tracker's alone time was cut short when the door slid open and tracker was growling angrily at the intruder. Falconer sneered right back at him as he shooed him away from you.

With tracker out of the way falconer took his spot on the bed next to you placing a wooden box between the two of you.

Carefully prying open the lid of the container your eyes widened to find all sorts of things inside. From toothpaste to fluffy socks the box seemed to just be full of things to help you settle into your new room.

Tracker slowly made his way back into the bed coming to sit behind you carefully wrapping his arms around your waist as if testing your boundaries with him.

Much too engrossed in the items laid out before you, tracker was sorely ignored as you began to look over everything Falconer was giving you.

Soon enough the three of you became lost to time as you explained to them the purpose of each of the earth items and whether they would be useful or not.

As you grew closer to finishing digging through your gift you felt tracker lean into you, his head coming to rest on your shoulder as he had fallen asleep watching you.

Falconer laughed shaking his head as he stood.

Grabbing hold of one of the cushions of a near by chair he walloped tracker hard over the head waking him up abruptly.

You couldn't help but laugh as Tracker angrily stormed off Falconer following after him. He waved farewell as he left you to get settled in.

Laying back in your bed you rubbed at your eyes and let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding in. Maybe you could like it here, just maybe.
