Trapped in a Pyramid

Scar growled softly as his blood began to ooze from at least four or five wounds. The most serious was the one he had received from a human man who had shot him in the chest with a tiny human revolver. Now because of the frigid cold this wound was beginning to zap the last remaining strength out of him. The human next to him was beginning to stir and he would deal with her when she woke from her nap. Even though he did not want to do it he had to finish off this human, it was a matter of pride; then again she had shown her fighting prowess back inside the pyramid and could become an honorary member if he could just ‘brand’ her. Then all Predator customs would be satisfied and he would not have to kill her.

Lex cried out in pain as she rolled onto her back and laid there in the snow. Her right arm was killing her. Either Scar had dislocated her right shoulder or had ripped her arm off in an attempt to save her or now she was in hell. She ran her left hand’s fingers along her shoulder glad to feel her arm was still there.

Lex mumbled, “He must have dislocated it then.”

Scar turned his head towards the human female and stood up. Lex managed to get on her feet to when bits and pieces of blown up Aliens started failing from the sky. As Lex went for cover, it looked like the Predator was actually smiling as it grabbed something off the ground and ran after her.

Lex continued to run until she spotted what looked like a cave and she relayed this information to the Predator behind her. It made several noises and continued on behind her. Lex as she continued to run for this apparent cave was beginning to become fatigued and began to stumble when two powerful arms wrapped around her waist and carried her to the cave.

Lex let out a grunt as the Predator dropped her to the ground as they entered the dark cave. Lex lit a flare illuminating the dark cave and noticed that the Predator seemed to be shivering or close to it. Snow covered his shoulders and in the outfit he had on, what was left, was not fit for the Antartic.

The Predator sat down in the snow and Lex crawled over to him. She took off her backpack she had been wearing and began to pull out some material that would start a fire. The creature watched her as she got the flare and put it next to the bits of material that she laid out on the ground and a flame was soon going.

Lex then looked at the Predator who held a severed Alien finger in his hand. She nodded her consent before he continued with what he planned to do and she let out a little cry of pain when the searing acid hit her forehead. But soon the Predator was done with his task and sat next to her. They now both had the same symbol etched into their skin.
