Save Yourself From The Darkness(XxLyraxX & Jasonhero)

Echo paused as her keen ears caught the faint rustle of fabric. She backtracked and hide in a tree as she watched the demon enter the clearing. She watched the scene unfold and nimbly jumped to the ground. “If you are finished I think it best we pack up camp and move on.” She said in an emotionless voice, eyes portraying no feelings at all. She had seen worse things in her line of work so seeing heads roll didn’t faze her. Or…at least that’s what she keeps telling herself. She turned and began walking away without waiting for him.

Echo stared back, her face beat red. She felt embarrassed but she hadn’t a clue as to why. Her body had reacted without thinking and now she was left in confusion. He looked confused as well and she at a loss as how to explain seeing as she really didn’t have an explanation either. So, this left them awkwardly staring at each other until Echo broke eye contact and started fiddling with her hair.

Alicen had moved from the spot so she missed the battle than ensued. However she met her own troubles in the form of another angel. Seeming to sense what she was he swung his sword at her. She spun away, bow swiftly coming up with an arrow releasing in the same second. It flickered through the air and slammed into the beings shoulder. He let out an angry growl and charged her again. She flipped over him and landed behind him, spinning in a half circle as she swung her leg up and clipped him in the jaw as he turned. He let out an angry shout as he stumbled away. He regained his balance and stared at her. Her cowl had come down and her furry ears were flattened to her head. He sneered. “Look who it is, the half-breed. Haven’t seen you in a while. How’s your mother doing?” He asked in a mocking tone. Alicen hissed as they circled each other. “Ah, I remember that day. Quite eventful to be sure. You lost your whole family and it was all your fault.” He leaped at her, hoping to catch her off guard. She barely managed to dance away as anger coursed through her.

”Accelerate!” Her voice rang with an echoy quality and when she lunged towards him she was a blur. He couldn’t react fast enough and her saxe knife cut through his side. She then spun away and disappeared into the forest. It went silent as the man turned. “Using your Ranger skills are we?” An arrow whizzed out and hit the side that was injured. Arrow after arrow came petting out in rapid succession until the angel looked like a pin cushion. He spotted a flicker of shadow as Alicen flitted from tree to tree, firing off arrows. Soon golden blood was painting the ground as he numerous wounds bled. She stepped from the forest, approaching him. Raising the hilt of the heavy knife she slammed it down into his temple, knocking him out cold. She then turned and walked away, cloak swirling around her.

Echo balked backwards when he lunged at her, hands going up in self-defense. A small squeak escaped her when he began pulling down her shirt, so surprised her mind fell over itself in shock. Her arm was yanked out of the sleeve and she blushed bright red at her state of undress. He hardly seemed to notice as he was focusing intently on the scratch on her arm. Once he was done she tore her arm away and quickly pulled her shirt back down, scooting away as fast as she could until she met a wall.

Alicen jolted at the name Yutani, racking her memory at the familiar name.”Yutani….why does that name sound so familiar…?” She muttered quietly. The proverbial light bulb lit up over her head and she gasped. “Yutani is the one that bought out Sevastopol! I over-heard some higher up talking about it when I was running errands.”

Alicen’s hands clenched into fists. “Who the hell do you think you are to say I had an easy life? You’re not the only one in this forsaken world who has a tragic back story. You think the angels like the fact that I exist? To them I’m a taint on their otherwise perfect bloodline. They ripped my fathers’ wings off and whipped him to death while my mother and I were forced to watch. Then they took my pregnant mother and ripped my unborn brother from her womb because they knew he was going to be a half-blood too. He was so tiny, three months from being born. Then they snapped my mothers’ neck and left her as food for the crows. I was only five at the time. I got off light, only a beating before Halt intervened. He took me on as his apprentice but like all the others in my life he too lost his life because of this accursed darkness. Open your eyes, I know more about the reality of the world than I would care to.”

Anger coursed through her and suddenly a log taller than she was hurled through the air, crashing down right next to him. Her eyes widened and she stumbled back from him, face full of horror that she could have just hurt him badly.

She snatched her bow, cloak and quiver. She slung her cloak around her shoulders and told him in a tense voice that she was going to patrol and promptly disappeared into the forest without a sound. She moved quickly away from their camp sight. Once she was a good distance away she slumped against a tree and buried her face in her hands, desperately trying to reign in the power thrumming through her.

Alicen could see he didn’t fully believe her and sighed. “I am not fully angel, only half. My other half is neko if you have not already figured that out. I’m not going to stick a knife between your ribs while you sleep.” She said in a monotone voice. She tossed some strips of dried meat and bread at him as she began munching on her own. “Besides, demons kill angels just as well and I’m not eyeing you like a expect you to leap at me at any moment. In order for this to work we need to not be dancing around each other. Just because I’m an angel does not mean I’m going to kill you. You don’t know me so don’t assume I will.” She said, getting angry. She gave him a glare for good measure before she fell silent ad refused to say anymore.

Echo hesitantly followed after him. She was still wary of him but he had saved her so she was going to give him the benefit of the doubt. They quietly walked down the halls and came to one of the bunkers that was there for emergencies. She was about to step forward and opened the door but he beat her to it. She frowned. Someone must have logged him manually into the system. She stepped inside and settled herself on one of the mattresses before she began answering his questions. "No fire won’t kill it, so far nothing has been recorded that can kill it. Not grenades, not bombs nor guns. It's afraid of fire but it only makes it run off and when it returns its madder than before." She took a deep breath and began.

“The ship Anesidora recently visited a planet where the Nostromo crashed. They recovered the flight recorder but one of the crew members brought something aboard Sevastopol. We didn't realize anything was amiss until the woman started going into seizures. We tried to help her but...but..." Here Echo's face paled and her voice got quieter. "That creature, ripped its way from her chest. It was a baby but it fully matured in three hours. It killed almost everyone on this station. It hunts using mostly sound but once it gets close it uses scent and sight. With the station offline we were unable to contact anyone. APOLLO put everything on lock down in order to contain the creature but in doing so it trapped us as well.”

Echo felt herself hit the floor as she was dropped. She was confused, why did the thing release her? She was sure it was about to kill. She sat up gingerly and looked over, shocked eyes watching as the boy slung the alien across the room like it weighed little more than a pillow. The shrieked it released grated on her ear drums and she resisted the urge to cover her ears. Once it had been scared off she picked herself up off the ground, only slightly wobbly. "I am fine." She pronounced, tilting her head to stare at him curiously. "How did you know the Xenomorph was afraid of the fire?" She inquired. She brushed down her bloody skirt and pushed her hair out of her face.
