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 [...]
Chel glanced down at Zeta. He was looking up at her, tail swishing back and forth slowly in an intent fashion. Chel hoped that he wouldn’t mind eating canned cat food, since that’s all she had. “I hope you like fish.” She knelt down to scoop the fishy smelling brown mush into a bowl. “Zeta [...]
“You better stop insulting me if you want me to keep feeding you, Zeta!” Chel folded her arms, figuring that since Zeta seemed to like to eat so much, that would be a workable threat. Zeta sighed, his crown of feathers twitching back to lay flat against his head and neck. It was a very [...]
Lexx sighed in his sleep, unheard by the two as they left the room. If there’s one thing that Lexx hated, it was dreaming. This was one of the reasons he kept himself awake so long, to avoid it. Dreaming was a horrible ordeal for him, because he did not dream like humans dream. Everything [...]
