The window, was open, fortunately and unfortunately. The cat slipped from Lexx’s hands just as he jumped. Lexx tried to catch one of her tails, but instead he caught the ground. Muddy ground. Zeta was waiting. The little creature puffed up slightly, head arced back. Lexx looked up just as he opened his mouth, “NO!! [...]
“… ow.” Lexx gasped, trying to catch his breath, the hot air a bit much for his lungs. He blinked a few times and slowly began to regain his bearings. The cat had hopped up onto the window sill and was now sitting there, glaring at him and waiting for his next move. Zeta,… hid [...]
Lexx turned his head slightly to avoid any further contact as he stood. The sound sent his ears ringing before he realized he’d been hit. The gun went off with a loud pop, aimed at his arm. Chel hadn’t hesitated. The moment he was on his feet she’d pulled the trigger, swinging the gun just [...]
The police had said they were on their way. Chel had told them someone tried to break into her house and she’d shot them, leaving out the details that it was an alien and had some sort of weird creature with it. She knew they wouldn’t come if she’d told them that. There was no [...]
Zeta wasn’t going to leave his master, no matter what happened. That severely frightened him. He had never had to do anything without Lexx’s instruction, but what he lacked in bravery, he made up for in loyalty. The door opened and the girl stepped slowly through it. She’d changed into a yellow raincoat. “You’re not [...]
Zeta paused, his head held low, but looking up. She didn’t have a gun and she sounded sincere. He glanced back at Lexx and sighed. “Zeta not know,… you bad human, hurt Lexx, not want Lexx hurt more.” “If he stays out here, someone else might see him who will turn him in, and then [...]
Chel spent a good twenty minutes holding towels to Lexx’s side and arm until he stopped bleeding. There had been noticeable holes where the bullet had entered, exited and re-entered, but as Chel wiped away the remaining blood, she realized they were gone. The skin looked bruised and a little scarred, but there was no [...]
Chel just stared at him. “I think if I were going to do anything, I would have while you were unconscious,…” Lexx nodded slowly, “,… I guess so.” He then noticed Zeta standing near the couch. “Great, you couldn’t have run off and hid until I got up, could you, Zeta?” Zeta winced slightly, “Sorry,… [...]
“I’ll take her now, if you don’t mind.” Lexx kept his tone even, despite the looks the cat was giving him. She hissed and growled loudly in response. “Nu-uh! I want answers first!” Chel snapped, feeling that she probably had the upper hand at the moment. She was getting less and less afraid, since Lexx [...]
“I didn’t do anything!” Chel snapped at Zeta. “He’s the one who sat up and yelled. I’m just sitting here watching. He’s very passionate and insistent, isn’t he?” “Lexx gotta get all the dice, yes.” Zeta sighed, “But you, bad human, should not get in way. You not involved.” Chel scooted forward, rearranging to blanket [...]
