Disclaimer:A special disclaimer today because I am going to have names of songs in it. I don�t own any of the songs mentioned and I am not making any money out of them. And the usual I don�t own the idea for predator and alien, aint makin no monies from them neither.
Note: I don�t know much about guitar playing so if my description is wrong you will have to forgive me. And this is also my first attempt at a fight scene, well sort of a fight scene it�s more fighting moves to music, with a twist at the end, so that�s another thing you will have to forgive me for too.
Special Thanks: Special thanks goes to two people this chapter Circle of Addictions for allowing me to use and slightly modify the sticks, (Please be working on another good piece of writing), and Golden Wind from fanfiction.net, who reassured me that my music bit wasn�t too close too hers, her story Slave of a Hunter was the first piece of fan fiction I ever read, if you want to read a great story read Golden Winds Slave of a Hunter, that is if you haven�t already. I still quite often check the site out for updates.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ug�han made his way to Ki�takas quarters upon entering the unusual scent hit him, Fri�trel. She had the most odd scent for a female Yautja, it was almost repelling, powerfully so. Ug�han had never smelt anything like it until he went on a hunt with her.
Ug�han noticed another scent, the scent of a recent mating and he recognized it, Elder you old Devil.
A male Yautjas sense of smell is more powerful than a females, honed in from more than centuries of hunting for prey and mates, and before space travel, the protection of their mates and property. If the male is sensitive enough to his mates scent, he can even detect the changes that indicate pregnancy immediately after mating.
He saw that the door was open to Ki�taka�s storage room, the scent was also in the entrance, although not as strong, Well when the lady calls got to start anywhere, but so was the scent of Fri�trel, he cautiously looked in and there she was searching through Ki�taka�s belongings. He looked up to see stand full of masks as plain as day. �What are you doing in here alone?�
Fri�trel jumped. She turned, �Oh Ug�han, it is only you, The Elder told you of how we mated did he, come to try me for yourself�.
Ug�han breather the scent in, �Not even in your wildest dreams female, besides unless My lady Kien�ata was with the pair of you also, and I highly doubt that would happen, I can smell My Lady�s scent through both rooms and, on you. What did you do Fri�trel roll in it to disguise the disgusting thing you call a scent�.
Fri�trel raised her hand to strike Ug�han and he effortlessly slapped it away, �What is it Fri�trel all that mating made you weak, the amount you get you should be the strongest female on board.�
Ug�han looked around the storage room, he couldn�t see Ki�taka�s old mask anywhere, he noticed the female move seductively towards him, �Are you looking for anything or anyone in particular Ug�han?�
The disgusted male looked at the female, �Not you Fri�trel, Elder Ki�taka sent me here to make sure you were on track with the task he gave you�.
Fri�trel continued to search through the storage area, �Why does he want that battered old thing anyway, look at the magnificent new mask he has�.
Ug�han looked at the mask, it was magnificent, it had been designed by one of the Young Bloods and Ki�taka had ordered that the Young Blood be honored for his design by having a similar one made for himself, it was a Celtic design harsh lines, very raw, brutal and cultural.
Ug�han growled, �You dare question an Elders order, you do not have the position female�. Fri�trel moved closer to Ug�han, �I will have some day, mark my words, Ug�han. Then all this shall be mine�.
The male shook his head, �You are delusional, just make sure you follow the Elders order and place his old hunting mask in his quarters, or you will not see Morning Light, and cleanse yourself, you reek�. Fri�trel growled loudly at the male as he walked towards the door.
Kelly glanced around the large hall, it had a large circular table in the front in the center. There were several tables spread around the room in no particular fashion. Kelly was tired of sitting down, each time she tried to get up the old male growled at her, but he had left so she took the chance and stood slowly.
Several Yautja had started to enter the room and take their seats, a few stopped to grunt and growl at the band, several glanced Kellys� way and she bowed her head to them, some seemed confused by this but they all bowed back to her.
The Yautja were similar to us humans in a lot of ways. Two sexes male and female. Same basic shape as each other, although some had shortish legs and long bodies, some the opposite and some were perfectly in proportion. Even their faces while they had the same standard appearance, some had shortish mandibles that only just covered their mouth with some had faces that looked like they were sucking their cheeks in and their mandibles covered their mouth. Some had smooth foreheads, while others had noticeable crests and ridges.
Kelly heard a growl from behind her, she turned to see the old male standing there tapping his foot on the floor, as if to say What are you doing off that chair, young lady, Kelly quickly sat back down, Man, talk about sprung. He nodded at her.
It was almost time to get ready. It seemed that this old male was never far away. Kelly wondered if it could be her friends, she knew better than to say anything as if they weren�t she could be putting her and her friends in danger. Aach�ni did say that if another clan did find her, she would be put in the care of an older more patient male rather than a younger one.
The old male walked off , Kelly looked around again more Yautja had come in. There was one in particular looking at her while he was talking to the old male. He was pale brown in color, with dark irregular circles that had a smaller circle in side similar to a leopard, he had short mandibles, he had the oddest colored dreads for a fairly young looking male, they were pale gray, almost white, but what really stuck out were is eyes, they were an electric blue color.
He must have been someone important because he had a cape on. What was it Aach�ni said purple for a High Elder, blood red for an Elder, black for an Arbitrator. Black is definitely Arbitrator, judge jury and executioner. This Yautja had a deep purple cape with gold edging, Oh well he is someone important. Kelly bowed her head a little lower and longer as she wasn�t sure, and the male did the same.
Aach�ni looked at Jai�tien, a smile a mile wide had formed on his face, �Problems my friend�, �No Aach�ni, no problems, just relieved to see her�. Aach�ni put his hand on Jai�tiens shoulder, �As am I, what are you smiling about?�, Jai�tien laughed, �She was trying to remember what you told her about the different colored capes�. Aach�ni looked at him in a well how did she go expression, �She had it correct but was not sure, you taught her well Aach�ni�, �As have you my friend�. Aach�ni moved back nearer to the band
Jim noticed and frowned at her, �If you think they�re your friends why don�t you say something to them�. Kelly turned to find all the bands eyes on her, �Because I say something and they are not my friends I could be sentencing us all to death�.
Kim looked at Kelly, �That�s not exactly true Kel, that older fellow said that you have a mark from a clan on your body and that it would be dis, what was it he said�, Kelly finished for her, �Dishonorable on their part to harm me�, Kim nodded. �Yes but if I step one foot out of line mark or no mark friends or not I could be dead�.
Everyone stared at her in disbelief, �They are a very proud species guys they take honor very seriously�. Kelly knocked on the door, �Come on Allison get out here, how long does it take to get dressed�, Kelly yawned, �While where all young Al�.
The door opened and out came Allison. Miniskirt, high heels, low cut top. Kim shook her head, �Good look Al, show em what you had for breakie�. Kelly looked at Kim, �Come on Kimmie�, the two girls entered the room.
The old male approached, he looked at Allison and shook his head, �Young children should not wear such clothing�. He then turned to the boys, �Start to change you will begin as soon as the two females emerge�.
Tom looked up at him in horror then lowered his gaze, �You mean out here with everyone watching�. The male nodded, �Problems with that�, Tom shook his head no. The boys quickly changed, coughing noises from the back of the hall could be heard when Tom started to change, but nothing he wasn�t used to. The had almost finished when the door opened and the girls came out.
Kim wore her jeans tank top and sneakers, and Kelly wore her favorites tank top, singlet, flannelette shirt buttoned up and sleeves rolled up, Khaki shorts that finished a couple of inches above her knee, footy socks and elastic sided work boots. The boys wore standard jeans and t-shirts, Sam and Sandy work boots and Jim and Tom had sneakers.
Jim walked over to Kelly who was getting her guitar ready, she pulled the connection out of it and started to tune it, �You ok Kel?�, Kelly nodded, �Just a little tired and cold�, Jim looked at her strangely, �You�re cold, I feel like stripping off�. Kelly gave Jim a kiss, �MMM, Yes please�. There was a low growl in front of them. They looked up to see a male with a red cape looking at them. He also had electric blue eyes, but he had black dreads, short mandibles, his skin looked black in spots but it was hard to tell with his armour and red cape. Kelly was puzzled, Maybe red is Elder, oh I don�t know any more. She bowed her head and nudged Jim to do the same which he did.
Kelly continued to tune her guitar going through all the notes nodding when it sounded it right, frowning when she hit one that was out of tune. She turned to the boys, �Check your guitars, mine needed tuning�. They did and tuned them were needed. Kelly looked at Sam, �How did we get power?�, Sam shrugged, �One of them looked at the equipment, he went away and when we came back from the medical place, when tried some of it and it had power�. Kelly nodded her head, �Cool�.
Kelly popped on her hands-free mic-set and turned it on, �Can some one up the back give me a roar if you can hear me�, suddenly a loud almost deafening roar erupted from the back of the room, �You�ve got a good set of lungs there, thanks�. Then she strummed a few notes on the guitar, �Do we need to turn it up or down?�, �It is fine�, came a voice from the back�. �Thanks ma�, Kelly was about to say the good old Aussie term mate, but thought better of it, �Thanks Big Guy�.
�Ouch, do not hit. L�traik, why did you answer? Because Clec�tah, the quicker they get on with the quicker we get to have a drink�, �MMM, good point my friend�.
Ki�taka had decided that no intoxicating beverages would be served until the dinner, too many of the younger Yautja got a bit violent after having too much. And as you could imagine that didn�t go down too well.
Jim looked at Kelly shaking her head, �How did you do that?, We tried to get one of them to do that when you were getting ready and got no reply�. Kelly shrugged her shoulders.
Kelly quickly glanced to see the male in the red cape sit down at a huge round table at the front. The table would have been at least three meters across, made out of metal.
She started to glance away when she saw some guards bring the leader of the pale men out, he was dressed in set of plain beige pants and top. Ki�taka took great interest in the little female in the checkered shirt and shorts, Is this my Kelly Her gaze was that of fear and, yes hatred.
The guards sat him down well away from Ki�taka on his left. The leader hissed with hatred in the little females direction, �She killed my guard�, Ki�taka growled angrily, �And what did you and your guard do to her�. The leader looked at Ki�taka, �I did nothing at all to her�. Ki�taka looked from the leader to the little female, Liar.
Kelly looked at Jim and the others and glanced back at the male. A female came and sat on the right of the male with the red cape. Kelly noticed him look into the females eyes, she quickly looked away in case she was noticed, She must be his mate or a relative
Kien�ata placed her hand on Ki�taka�s leg, he could feel her trembling, he looked at her, �On his hand, did you not give that to Kelly�, Ki�taka held on to her hand tightly, �Yes my mate, I did, do not worry his time will come�.
The male with the red cape nodded at the band, Jim looked at everyone, �Well, I guess that�s our signal to start�. A group of females with trays came out. One came towards the band members and placed a tray down. Kelly bowed her head and the female did the same.
Kelly walked over to the tray and picked up a large metal container, she was thirsty. She took a tentative sip. Jim clenched his teeth together, �Kelly are you crazy it could be poison�. Kelly looked at him, �It tastes like water to me, besides if they wanted us dead we would not be poisoned�. Ki�taka grunted at her response and the bands reaction. Tom looked at her, �What do you mean Kel?� but she didn�t answer. The rest of the ban came over and took a sip of water.
The natives were getting restless to say the least, roars, hurry ups and feet stomping coming from all directions. The male in the red cape raised his hand and the room fell silent. His eyes fell on Jim, who looked at the others, �Show time guys�. Jim looked at Kelly, �What should we play?�, Kelly laughed, �Certainly not the wiggles, Hi-5 or playschool�, Jim rolled his eyes, �I don�t know Jim some classic rock few modern ones and show them the instruments.�
Jim turned his Mic on, �Well I guess I should start by introducing the band. We are Pubs Inc we go around playing at a wide range of place, none quite like this though�. A load roar came from the back of the hall.
Jim swallowed hard, �Ok well, my name is Jim, I sing and play guitar�, Jim played part of the intro from Money for Nothing. �Next we have Sam, he sings and plays the drums�, Sam waved and bashed out a beat on the drums. �Next is Sandy he sings also and played the guitar and drums, Sandy waved and played his guitar. �Next is Tom, and you guessed it he sings, but he plays the Saxophone, guitar and Keyboard�, Tom waved nervously and played his Saxophone.
Jim looked towards the girls, �And we can�t forget the girls�, Kelly looked at him as if to say Gee thanks. �Here we have Allison she sings�, Allison waved to the crowd and swallowed nervously. �This is Kim, she plays the keyboard�, Kim waved and played a tune on the keyboard. �And last we have Kelly, she sings and plays the guitar�, Kelly bowed her head to the red caped male and played her guitar but instead of stopping after the intro the band finished the entire song.
Kelly looked around and noticed some of the older Yautja, male and female tapping their feet and hands with the music as if they had heard it before. She moved over to Kim, �Have a quick looked into the crowd especially the older ones�, Kim did and turned to Kelly with a surprised look on her face.
�Ok lets start moving through the crowd�, Everyone looked at Kelly as if she was mad, �Alright I will�, Jim was about to grab her but the male with the red cape growled at him and shook his head.
Kelly began to move off to her left and was blocked by the young male who escorted her there, �Best you keep away from this section little one young males can get a little too excited�, Kelly swallowed hard and bowed her head, �You are most welcome�. As she walked away Jim told her to be careful through the head set and what the next song was.
The band played Black Betty. Kelly recognized one of them, it was the old male that stayed with them, she bowed to him. He seemed to be taking great interest in the guitar. She stood there for a while before moving off in another direction. But he stopped her, he motioned her closer, �Can you play something for me?� Kelly nodded her head and he whispered to her, �Can you play it for me? Sure can�. Kelly walked off.
She made her way through the tables some of the Yautja nodded at her, some just ignored her. She was almost behind the Elders table when the Pale Man turned and hissed menacingly at her, bearing his teeth, she stopped. Jim was a little nervous he couldn�t see her, but he let her know of the next song.
The Yautja she was standing near softly growled at her, Kelly turned to him back kept her eyes low, �Do not let him make you have fear�. Kelly looked up as the band started playing Copperhead Road, It was the huge male from the training room �He did something to you did he not�, Kelly nodded, as her eyes went from him to the female next to him. �He is nothing you need to fear any longer, remember you are strong, you have survived a scratch from one of them and our medication�. Kelly bowed her head at the male and the female and walked on.
The huge male watched Kelly move past the Dreitan as if he wasn�t there. The female next to him noticed his grin, �Heldak, what are you smiling at, I have not seen you this smitten since I told you we were going to have our first pup�, he turned and kissed her roughly, �Nothing my mate, I just never thought a human could be almost Yautja like with courage and honor. That Dreitan scares her so yet she composes her self to pass him, I could almost smell her fear turn to hatred. Ki�takas� story does ring true�.
�So that is the little one,� Heldak nodded, �Ki�taka will have to be careful of Fri�trel, your sister will not take this intruder lightly�. Heldak looked around to see if his sister was in the room, he couldn�t see her or smell her, �I know Di�hantra, will you assist Kien�ata by keeping and eye on my sister.�
Di�hantra looked at her mate, �You are smitten by her, should I eliminate her before she steals you away from me?�, Heldak shot her a death glare, �I am sorry my mate I know I have no need to be jealous�.
Heldak set his gaze back towards the band, �I simply want her to be around at least long enough to see what a human female is capable of my dear�. He closed his eyes and listened to the music, he remembered this song from one of his hunts on the backwater planet. He opened his eyes and settled them on Kelly, She shall be interesting to have around to say the least
Kelly walked up to Jim at the end of the song, �See I�m back safe, and we have our first request. A request?�. Kelly nodded, �Bad to the Bone�. Kelly went behind Sam and put something in her pocket. The band started playing, before the chorus began, she stuck her collar up and put her sunnies on before she played the guitar again. Allison looked at her, �Kelly are you alright, what�s wrong with you, they�re probably going to kill us after.� Kelly shot her a dirty look, �Yeah, but at least I�m going to have fun doing what I love before they do�.
Allison started to walk off in the direction of the crowd If Kelly can do it so can I, she was immediately stopped by a large female, �You smell unnatural, do not approach any of us again until you get rid of it, or your friends will be holding your head�. She almost burst into tears as she walked back to the instruments
As Kelly walked off to the right a male called her over, she slowly approached. Whatever the physician had given her was starting to wear off. She looked up at the male, it was the one she saw before with the purple cape, I hope someone can help me get my mine off this pain. The band started playing Sweet Child �O� Mine.
Kelly took a deep breath and held it for a while, she noticed the male was looking at her with great interest, �Has any one ever told you that you have amazing blue eyes�.
The Yautja smiled, �Yes they have little one�, Jim sang - She�s got eyes of the bluest skies, �This song must be about you�, Kelly shook her head no, �Oh I think it is, will you play me a song also.� Kelly nodded. The Yautja motioned Kelly closer, and softly told her the song he wanted, as he did he gently touched her arm. �By the way my child you are correct with the color of the capes, but there is no need to kneel before me now�. Kelly looked at the Yautja then to the guard behind him, she nodded at Kelly. How did he know that Kelly bowed to the High Elder then moved off.
Jim looked at her, �Let me guess another request, what this time. All right but then you take a break�. The band started playing We Will Rock You. After they finished Kelly took the connection out of the guitar and moved off into the crowd, she decided that the male that made the first request would be a good start. Jim shook his head, So much for taking a break young lady
As Kelly approached she saw the physician standing near him, with his trademark stance, she tried to look him all over for a needle, when the old male laughed and beckoned her closer, �Ignore him little one, Easier said than done,now, how do you play this thing?�
She moved the strap over her head, �Are you left or right handed�, the old male purred, �Right�. Kelly smiled, �Cool, same as me�. Kelly looked at the male puzzled. Sy�gen cocked his head to the side, �Father she is having trouble figuring out which way to place it in your arms, she could be beginning to have complications�, Aach�ni looked at him and nodded.
As the rest of the band began to play Don�t turn off the lights, the old male gently turned Kelly around so that her back was facing him. Kelly swallowed hard, nervous as Jai�tien had told her never to turn her back on a Yautja unless she was dismissed. He lifted the guitar over the top of her head and into his arms. As Kelly turned he reminded her of a little boy with a new toy. Then she began.
�These rods that go up and down are called Frets, when you put slight pressure on the string and strum the same cord down here you get a note, and the further down you press the notes change�. The old male tried it and Kellys� face lit up �I always love it when she does that�. �We�ll make you into an honorary band member in no time�.
Kelly pressed the earpiece to her ear, then she stuck her middle finger up at him. Aach�ni looked at her then to Sy�gen who had a puzzled look on his face, Aach�ni laughed, �He obviously said something she didn�t like�. Kelly turned her mic on and moved around the crowd, �How many of you have an special someone?� Not a word was said but from the hand holding and eye gazing, Kelly could see that there were a few.
Kelly came back over the old male as Jim and Kim sang Private Emotion. She bowed her head at the male, �May I�. The old male gave her back her guitar and she moved off.
Tom approached Kelly, he was nervous about singing in front of the Yautja, Kelly smiled at him, �How about I sing with you�. Kelly always had a way of settling peoples nerves. Jai�tien glanced over to Ki�taka, The male is nervous, they are going to sing together
After the song had finished Tom grabbed a chair for Kelly and one for himself, then lowered the big mic to a height for them both. Tom and Kelly took turns at singing In the Shadows. Kelly sang the second verse as she sang the words �But I, I rather kill myself than turn into their slave�, she stared intently at the Pale Man. Ki�taka noticed this and saw the Dreitan smirk at her nervously.
The band played How you remind me and Someday. After they had finished Kelly reached for her drink it was empty, Sam approached and gave her his, he placed his arm around her, �Are you alright Kel�. Kelly nodded, �Just a little tired and hot�.
If Jim hadn�t been Kellys� boyfriend Sam would have, he hated the way Jim had been treating her lately, always crowding her, he also knew he had hit her on occasions too, although she would never tell him why. At times he would hear Kelly cry at night, and go in and hold her, especially since the disappearance of her grandfather, of course if Jim ever knew there would be a big fight, but he didn�t care, Kelly was usually a strong girl and for her to break down it must be something major.
Sam took Kellys� guitar for her, he looked across and saw the male in the red cape looking at them with great interest. Kelly took her shirt off and tied it around her waist. Sam glanced down and took a deep breath in, �Hot Damn Girl�, the shape of her breasts clearly outlined. Kelly grabbed her guitar of Sam, shook her head and swung around, as she was walking towards Ki�takas� table she took the connection out.
Kien�ata noticed him start to shift in his seat, especially when the scent of lust mixed with hatred, a deadly blend, wafted over from the Dreitan. She placed her hand on his leg, to bring his attention to her.
Kelly approached the Elder�s table and bowed her head, �Would you like a turn?� Ki�taka shook his head no. Kelly moved the guitar in her arms as if it was beginning to get heavy, all the time Ki�taka watched her small muscles flex and contract under her skin.
The Dreitan hissed at her to gain her attention, �How are your ribs, female?�, Kelly cautiously moved closer to him, �Good, how are your balls?� The leader shifted uncomfortably, it still hurt. �You should not have killed one of my men�. Kelly glared at him �Well he shouldn�t have tried to rape me�.
Ki�taka softly growled to bring Kellys� attention to him, �That shirt rings true for you little one�. Kelly looked down at the picture on her singlet top. It had a picture of a small kitten looking into a mirror, the image that returned was that of a lion. Kelly seemed confused, then Ki�taka noticed her breathing, she should be in pain, but her face although tired looking held none. She bowed to him in acknowledgement.
A female brought more drinks out, Ki�taka grabbed one, he wanted Kelly to stay near him for a little moment longer. �Twenty minute break�, he announced. Kelly went to move off but Ki�taka handed her a container of water, �Here little one�. Kelly took some sips and placed the water down on the table, and walked over and put her guitar down, she looked everywhere for her drink, then she spotted it over near the Elder, she shook her head and went to retrieve it, I�d loose my head if it wasn�t screwed on properly.
She was taking another sip when Allison tentatively approached, �Kelly how do you flip someone?�, Kelly nearly choked on her water, �Why in the hell do you want to know that here and now.� Allison shrugged her shoulders, �Just do�.
Kelly glanced at the Elder, he nodded, �Kelly is going to flip someone and no challenging her later�. There was a loud roar of laughter, the Elder roared, �Silence, well little one we are waiting�.
Kelly beckoned Jim over, he looked at her puzzled. She grabbed his arm, �Oh No, No your not�, laughs echoed through out the hall, but it was too late she already had her grip and was in position to flip him and he did just that, over he went landing hard on the floor. There was a loud cheer from the crowd and Ki�takas� chest swelled with pride, as did Aach�nis�.
Heldak turned to his mate, �She shall be interesting to train in one way or another.� Di�hantra stared at him, �Heldak if you do not settle yourself you are going to end up impaling someone, and I know you only have one type of spear with you at the moment�, she looked down between his legs and a lustful groan escaped his lips.
Heldak was a violent mater, violence was what got him off. He loved to stalk his mates like they were prey and fight with them before taking them, either or both of them quite often ending up in the medical bay because of it.
Kelly reached out her hand to help Jim up, he rubbed his back and behind, Kelly lifted his shirt and kissed his back then pulled his pants down slightly and kissed his butt, �Sorry hun�, Then she slapped his bottom, the crowd laughed again.
Allison handed her the water and walked over to sit on the chair, she then pulled the other one over to put her feet on. Kelly looked for a place to sit. Ki�taka felt like pushing the female of the chairs so Kelly could sit. He saw Kelly shrug her shoulders and sit her self down on the floor. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. Man I hurt
Ki�taka smiled and lent towards Kien�ata, �She looks very comfortable sitting the way we usually do, pity she has no cushion.� Kien�ata nodded.
The break was nearly over when Sam beckoned Kelly over, she slowly opened one eye, �Man I�ve only just sat down�. Sam raised his eyebrows, �You�ve been sitting there for ten minutes�. Kelly slowly started to get up, �Really�. Jim nodded, �Kelly come on�. Kelly managed to get to her feet, �Ok, Ok, don�t get your balls in a bundle�. She made her way over to the band.
Ki�taka chuckled at her comment and pressed a button on his wrist computer, �Is everything in place, I shall go prepare soon�
�Yes Elder everything is ready, but I think the humans are up to something, they keep looking around shaking their heads, heart rates have increased during the last few minutes.�
Ki�taka played with his mandible, �MMMM, let us see what they have in store�, �Yes Elder�
Jim shook his head, �I don�t think we should do this Kelly�. Kelly rolled her eyes as she removed the hook from the stick they used to hang cables with, �Look it�s now or never�, Kelly reached for two small sticks, individually she turned them slightly and carefully slid them apart then back in again, turning them again, �Look if these aren�t my friends they may kill us, but if we leave with the pale men, they definitely will kill us or worse.�
Allison looked at Kelly mouth open, �What could be worse than death�, Kelly rolled her eyes, �Life with the pale men Allison, I�d rather die here and now that leave with them�.
Kelly glanced up to see the blue eyed Yautja with the pale dreads staring intently at her, �Look if we have the music just right it will look like a mock battle at least until it�s too late�.
Kim looked at Kelly a scared expression on her face, �I don�t know about this either Kel�, Kelly closed her eyes, �This is how it is, in another half an hours time maybe less I am not going to have the energy to do much. Whatever that doctor fellow gave me is wearing off, it�s now or never.� The band looked at each other worry etched into their faces.
Sam, Jim and Kelly place their hands on top of each other brought them up them down, �Remember how we practiced back home, only this time.� Kelly moved close to Sam and Jim and whispered, �Ok�. Sam gulped and nodded.
Jim pulled Kelly towards him, �I love you�, and kissed her passionately on her lips. Ki�taka growled angrily and Kien�ata place her hand on his leg, �Settle Ki�taka. I do not trust him Kien�ata, I know he has hurt her.
Kelly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, I hope I can make it, I hope I can do this. It almost felt like someone had placed a heavy hand of reassurance on her shoulder, when she opened her eyes the feeling was still there but there wasn�t anyone near her.
As she looked around she could see the male with the pale dreads talking to the one with the scratches on his arm, he had his hand on his shoulder. The other male placed his hand on the pale dreaded males shoulder and Kelly felt weighted down even more, but relaxed. She shook her head, Very Weird.
Ty�clen looked at Kelly then to Jai�tien, �Will she be able to do it?�, Jai�tien looked at Kelly and smiled, �Yes my boy she will, you will find our little Kelly is full of surprises, she has had to grow up quickly Ty�clen, her knowledge in a lot of areas far out weighs even our kind at a similar age, all will be revealed given time. She is strong Ty�clen, tired, getting sore, but strong�.
Sandy sat down at the drums, Sam looked at him, �You will take care of my drums wont you�, Sandy hugged him, �Course I will bro, but your going to be playing them soon�.
Sandy started to beat the drums at a slow steady pace. Kelly reached for the long staff brought it close to her body, it was only a couple of inches shorter than herself. Laughing could be heard from the young males section. Kelly looked across to see the huge male from the training room, He growled, �How tall was your staff boy when you began training with it� there was silence. The huge male folded his arms and nodded in Kellys� direction, as if to say, Well we are waiting.
Kelly and Jim bowed their heads to the Elder and he bowed back, they turned to each other and bowed. Sandys� beat slowly started to intensify as Jim twirled his sticks, Kelly held her staff steady, studying Jim.
Jim looked at Kelly, I wonder how much they actually taught her. Kelly started to circle Jim and he began to circle her also, she cocked her head to the side and a grin settled on her face. She flicked the staff out and it caught Jim on the hand and he dropped the stick immediately. Kelly lunged at the fallen stick but Jim rolled and retrieved it quickly, �That was not fair my love�.
Kelly pushed forward with her staff but Jim blocked it, their bodies came close, Kelly brought her face close to Jims, �Life isn�t fair, you should know that�. They pushed away from each other. Kelly shifted the staff and Jim blocked her blow again, before Kelly could reposition for another blow, Jim twirled a stick and brought it down on Kellys� left hand.
Ki�taka shifted in his seat and glared at the boy, Kien�ata could almost she the steam coming out of his ear slits. Kelly let go with her left hand but brought the staff around the back of her and caught Jims� hand again, and again he dropped the weapon. Only this time Kelly was able to pick it up. �Pay backs a bitch isn�t it dear�.
Heldak closed his eyes and a deep rumble settled in his chest. If she was not so small, and the Elders I would impale her body with mine�. He opened his eyes to find the High Elder looking at him shaking his head, She is proving herself worthy is she not Heldak, he nodded as the blood began to flow from his nose slits, You will not touch or harm her in any way will you, WILL YOU. Heldak shook his head no. Jai�tien bowed his head to the Master Trainer and released him. Heldak wiped the blood away as he glanced to the battle in front to see Kelly toss the stick back to Jim.
Jim came at Kelly at a face pace and brought one of the sticks underneath to trip her, he straddled her. He quickly brought his hands up to block the kick that would have ended his chance of fatherhood. But he did not see the staff swing around and hit his side. Kelly jumped up and settled her staff in front of her, �You should know me by now�.
Jim twirled his sticks around and the pair circled each other again, �No actually, it seems I don�t, your full of surprises lately�. Kelly thrust the staff forward and Jim blocked it, �Can�t be predictable all the time, sometimes it can kill you.� Kelly punched Jim in the stomach, �Sorry�, she mouthed. �I know�, Jim mouthed.
Jim nodded his head and tossed one of the sticks over the top of Kellys� head, she moved the staff to cover Jim in case of attack, she glanced over just in time to see Sam catch the stick. She shook her head. Sam and Jim advanced forward. Kelly brought the staff close to her body and centered it Jim connected with it. Noticing slight pressure on the opposite side of the staff. Kelly glanced over to find Sam had blocked the opposite side to Jim, either way up or down she could not move the stick she was blocked.
The hall was full off cheers and roars. Kelly gave an OH WELL shrug to the crowd of Yautja before quickly sliding the staff forward releasing it from Sam�s block, she then pushed it towards his stomach, she winked at him just before it would have connected.
Kelly was starting to tire, she stopped and closed her eyes. Sandy stopped beating the drums. Ki�taka and the entire hall could see her breathing short and fast she was in pain. Kelly could almost feel someone either side of her.
Dropping the staff Kelly bowed her head down. The boys moved in for the attack, at the last second Kelly snapped her eyes open and looked at the Elder. The boys brought the sticks forward and Kelly grabbed the opposite ends of their sticks. The boys both looked down at her, towering over her by inches.
They both nodded at each other and swung her up. Ki�taka moved nervously in his seat, What are they up to?. They tossed her up and forward, twisting their wrists slightly before Kelly turned a somersault and land on her feet on the Elders table, hands behind her back.
An honored guard moved forward to protect Kien�ata and Ki�taka. The massive hall fell silent as Kelly rose. Ki�taka looked at her boots, his eyes moved up taking everything in, the picture on her shirt her chest heaving. Kelly walked forward towards the leader, and squatted down to look into his eyes, he seemed almost petrified.
She moved her head, trying to follow his gaze as she talked, �Tell me fang face, are you afraid to die. I�m not, I�ve been close before, and I�m probably going to die here today, but you know what?�
The leader stopped moving his head, a female had never had the audacity to do anything like this to him before, his hateful gaze settled on Kelly and he hissed, �What?�.
�At least I�ll die knowing there will be one less of you�. With that Kelly quickly brought her arms around. The leader slowly looked down at his chest, hissed and howled in pain. Kelly rose from her squatted position and kicked him, pushing the knives that had been concealed in the sticks further into his chest. Both chair and leader ending up on the floor with the force of her kick.
Jim looked up at Kelly and noticed three dots in the form of a triangle move there way down her chest, �Kelly�, she looked down, �Don�t make any sudden moves, I�m been targeted�. He went to move towards her �What�, he was targeted too.
Kelly slowly turned to Jim then back to the Elder, �Think about it Jim, I�ve just killed someone and I�m standing near their Elder, their leader, why wouldn�t they target me�. Ki�taka looked at the dead Dreitan, then back to Kelly, �Very impressive little one, you know that we could kill you for that�.
Kelly got down on bended knee and lowered her head, �Yes I do, I did not mean to dishonor you by killing him at your table and I apologise to the female if I have frightened her, but his time had come and if I had to leave with him I would be dead anyway�.
Ki�taka nodded at the guards. Kelly slowly rose to find the targets gone from her body. She bowed to the guards then to the Elder. Kelly looked over to the leader. Ki�taka looked at Kelly then to the Dreitan, �Do not look at him my child, you should not show any remorse for him, you are right if you had left with him you would be dead. I have seen them first hand�.
Jim and Sam reached their hand up to help Kelly off the table, she shook her head no and moved to the side of the Elder, she jumped off the table, landing on her feet next to the body of the leader. Kelly pulled out the knives and wiped them clean on the leaders clothes. She turned to the Elder bowed her head and placed them on the table in front of him.
Ki�taka looked at the knives then at the small female beside him, even sitting down he was still taller than her, he bowed his head to her. How I want to tell you now, hold you, but you would not believe me and I want to put more fear into the others
Jim had been trying to move to Kelly but the guards held him back, they released him after a nod from the Elder. He ran to Kelly and held her tightly a little too tightly, �Shit Kelly, you really are in pain aren�t you�.
Ki�taka had to try to remain calm, things hadn�t exactly worked out the way he wanted at all, his girl was injured and this boy held her, �You require medical attention�.
Kelly broke away from Jims embrace as she noticed the doctor fellow walking forward, �No thank you, I just need to rest�. Jim looked at Kelly, �You really should let them at least have a look at you�. Ki�taka could see the concern on his face. Kelly clenched her teeth together, �I said I�m fine�.
Ki�taka bowed his head to her, You are strong my little Kelly, but I do not think you are that strong. Kelly bowed to him, �Excuse me Elder, where are the other pale men�. He looked into her tired eyes, �They are confined to lower decks, you are all safe now�.
Thinking that was going to be the end of it Ki�taka went to leave, �Thank you, but what if�. Ki�taka stopped and turned cocking his head to the side, �They reach you�, Kelly looked at the rest of her friends and nodded lowering her head. Ki�taka brought her head up, �They will not, you can be assured of that�.
Ki�taka released her head, �I must go and decide what I should do with you little one. I shall make my announcement over dinner�. Kelly bowed to the Elder as he moved off.
