Chel apparently didn’t believe him. It sounded more like a last resort to her and something he wouldn’t follow up on. A lot like her brother when he wanted to borrow something and said he’d ‘bring it back’. She’d always ended up having to go search for it under piles of dirty clothes, comic books [...]
Stealth squirmed in Chel’s arms, eyes closing as she stated in a knowing voice, “Don’t EVEN consider it, Chel!” “Is it dangerous?” Chel inquired of both, more of the cat than Lexx. She could probably trust her more than the alien peeping tom. “Chel, NO!” Stealth protested louder, ears flipping back to rest flat against [...]
Deciding to ignore the cat, Chel held out the robe that had been folded over her arm. Lexx gave her an odd look, unsure of what she was going to do next. “Here, put this on.” Chel offered the robe to him, hoping he’d take it as a good will gesture. “It’s my father’s, but [...]
She bit. “I didn’t mean to offend you!” That was easy. Lexx looked away. He didn’t want to be apologized to nor see her expression. “Too late.” He stated flatly. Chel rolled her eyes, motioning to the main hall. She wasn’t going to argue with him. Maybe she should change her mind and just stay [...]
Chel swung the refrigerator door open a little harder than she intended. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zeta just barely avoid getting smacked by it. “Zeta go wait on Lexx!” The creature huffed slightly and darted back to the living room, while Stealth took advantage of the open door to jump [...]
Lexx stood in the little room that Chel said was the bathroom. At least, this is the room he thought she’d directed him to at the end of the hall. It wasn’t like any bathroom he’d ever seen. It was much larger than what he was used to and the setup was different. He just [...]
Lexx took his time. Chel had already finished breakfast as had Stealth. She sat staring at the clock. 4 a.m. It was early, way too early to be thinking. Here she was, about to go off with an alien that had broken into her house and tried to steal her cat,… which he’d transformed into [...]
Lexx finished the oatmeal and leaned back to savor the milk, while Chel poured more in a bowl for Zeta. “That’s all there is.” Chel tossed the empty carton into the trash. That milk went quick. She’d just bought it the previous morning. She noted Lexx looking at her as though he were about to [...]
Half an hour later, Lexx was back in his clothes and Chel had changed into a green shirt and black jeans. Lexx was kind of baffled at her choice of clothing. No coat. Everyone wore a coat, it was the style to wear a long coat. Why wasn’t she wearing a coat? Stupid humans, can’t [...]
Swallowing her fear, Chel reached out with one hand to grab onto Lexx’s sash and walk into the light. Lexx emerged from the transporter onto his ship without a problem, the girl immediately behind him. It was just like walking through a door, although the other side wasn’t nearly as big as the kitchen they’d [...]
