The mission was supposed to be easy. Kill 20 humans, come home, and be rewarded with the utmost respect of all her peers and pave the ways for younglings on Asagua everywhere. So why was Ruxe having such a hard time?
***
On the far away planet of Asagua, humans are considered the biggest mistake that the universe had ever made. They were loud, obnoxious, idiotic, violent, and disgusting, with all their senseless wars and hate. They have always made it their mission to kill as many humans as possible-- their ultimate goal being the extinction of the human race. It has been instilled in the minds of every Asaguan youngling that being a part of the resistance, being a "scout", was the highest form of honor in the Asaguan Hierarchy.
***
Ruxe Zeneth is one of these younglings, and one of the most non-violent, non-confrontational aliens you will ever meet. She is kind, shy, and too curious for her own good-- which outcasts her from her peers and causes her to be an outcast. After being pushed by her father and various pieces of propaganda, she is appointed to become the next 'scout' by killing 20 humans on earth. If she succeeds, she will finally earn the respect of all her peers. If she fails? Exiled. Will she finally man up and prove everyone wrong? Or will two teenage humans change her perspective on the race?

This is my first piece of writing, and will probably (scratch that, definitely) need a bit of work. Constructive criticism is always welcome!
