If I Went Somewhere Else

Blue Gem| The Predator. Part 13

* * * *

Sky only sat in what was a waiting room to her while the Predator Elders were elsewhere. She looked around the room, looking at the symbols upon the wall.

"Why exactly are we waiting?" The relic asked her.

"That's what you're asking? I'm wondering why we're on this ship in the first place. I mean, it's pretty cool don't get me wrong, but I don't get it. I guess I'll draw while we wait." She reached into her bag, pulling out her sketch notebook and the bloody pencil.

The human looked at the red stained pencil, remembering what she had done with it prior. Sky threw the pencil back into the bag, reaching in and grabbing another pencil. Only this one was a mechanical pencil. Sky sighed if relief and tapped the eraser end of the pencil to her chin, humming to herself.

"What should I draw..." She asked aloud.

"Uhh...I don't know." The relic replied.

She then shrugged and began to draw something while she waited.

The human had been drawing for at least an hour before the door opened once again, revealing the Lead Elder. She looked up from what she was doing and put her sketching book away into her bag, standing up to look at the elder Predator. The alien halted in front of her, in his free hand he held a different bio mask.

The mask was significantly smaller, was tinted teal, and a custom shape differing from any of the other masks seen. The Elder Predator held the small mask out to the human, which she looked at with much curiosity.

The Lead Elder held out this much smaller bio mask to me, and I didn't know what he was doing. I just looked at him with a raised eyebrow, mildly confused. He then grunts and looks in between me and the mask, and I finally got the hint.

"Wait, is that mine??" I asked, pointing to the mask then myself.

The Predator nodded. Okay he understands English too, or he understood the gestures. I cautiously took the bio mask from the Elder and looked over it, touching the smooth metal. I glance back at the Predator.

"Why are you giving me this?" I ask.

"Fair fight, as well as rescuing one of our own." I heard a voice come from him.

I smiled as I can understand him now, "Thank you. Now can I ask where my friend Fugi is?"

The Lead Elder looked really confused.

"Whom do you speak of?" He asked.

"Oh right, that's what I call him. The Yautja I came into this vessel with, where is he?" I ask.

The Predator then grunted, looking rather displeased. Wait, Fugi is a fugitive to his planet. My eyes widen at the realization.

"Oh my god, where is he?! Is he okay?!" I said in a panicked state.

The Elder was surprised by my reaction, "May I ask why you care dearly for the fugitive?"

"Because it's just what I do! I don't know, but please tell me he's okay!" I continued, tears in my eyes.

The Elder placed his hand on my shoulder.

"He is unharmed, worry not. But he has been sentenced to death for his crimes." The Predator said.

My eyes widen, "Please please PLEASE let me see him!"

The Elder sighed defeatedly then gestured me to follow, I put the bio mask into my bag and went after him. Him and I walk back down the long corridor towards the room where the other elders and Fugi went, my heart beating rapidly. I don't want my friend to die! I need to convince them not to do that! Once we arrived at the door, we entered the room and saw Fugi with his back to us.
