I smiled and hugged my mom as I opened the door to leave for school. The first thing I noticed was that someone was watching me. Apparently my brothers noticed too because Seth jumped out my open window and into the tree across the street. He came down dragging another xenomorph by the tail. I stared at the boy he brought in amazement. A woman in armour ran up to help him. I held up my hand and she stopped "Seth! Drop him right now!" I yelled. The runner did as he was told before hanging his head in shame and climbing back into my room. I inspected the boy's tail for wounds before apologizing "Sorry about that! My brothers are pretty protective of me… He didn't hurt you, did he?"
The boy stared at me with nonexistent eyes and smiled as he shook his head. I stared at him not believing my eyes! Smaller than a praetorian with spikes coming from his head, a spiked tail barb and back spikes protruding from a spine like mine! I went green in embarrassment as he stared at me and blurted out "Alex pinch me cause I must be dreaming that mother's story came true…" My praetorian brother stared at the boy as well and stuttered to me "Is th-that w-w-what I th-think it is?" I nodded and replied "A prince."

Lex gaped after the girl called me a prince, whatever that is. And before I have the time to ask her what a prince is Zaz is talking to me again. "I'm Azazel! But you can call me Zaz! What's your name?" She's blushing a bright green as she says it. I go the same colour "Kainde-Thwei… The girl over there is called Lex, her and my father call me Kainde." Azazel smiles at me and asks "What does it mean? Your name… Mine means devil." I can't help but answer back "Kainde is slang for Kainde-amedha which is what our kind are called in yaut'ja… And Thwei is yaut'ja for blood so…" She finishes "It means you have xenomorph blood! Your name's pretty cool!" I felt like I was going to die of a love overdose!
Not only did this Azazel call me royalty, meaning I had a better chance of getting her as my mate, but she also said she liked my name! The also obvious blush staining her face led me to believe she liked what she saw! YES! I may have my dream girl's heart after all! Thank you Paya! Thank you holy mother! Thank any other that may have been at work here! I wasn't going to die alone and I found a sexy hybrid lou'te-kalei! I officially LOVE my life!
"Your name is interesting… You're named after the ooman death god?" She nods and explains "My human mother found me alone in a church dumpster… Because of my skin and strange hair she called me Azazel… She also said it was because the church itself had feared me to the point they tried to dispose of me… Like how heaven disposed of Lucifer in hell and caused him to become Satan." Even through such a strange and disturbingly calm explanation of her name's origin her name was still as lovely to me. She then saddened and continued "Most people don't like it… Or me for that matter! … They all hate me, despise my very existence, make sure I know how they feel about me and make fun of me…"
I stared at her sad face and felt something pull deep in my chest, like a chestburster trying to escape it's fleshy prison… I put my arms around her and purred to her. "If you're your own name makes you this miserable… I could give you one… One only I could call you…" The hybrid girl stared up at me with those pure ebony eyes of hers "Only if I can give you one too." I nodded and she said "Rex… It's latin for King… To be honest it's all that comes to mind when I see you." I smiled and thought of a name unique enough for her… "Chiva… Your entire life seems to have been testing you and others seem to constantly ask you to pass their own trials so it fits you…" She smiled at me and hugged me back "I like it…"
I swear that I have never been so happy in my ENTIRE life! I had a female hybrid who not only gave me her own awesome pet name, I had given her a pet name of my own idea AND we were at LEAST on a hugging basis...
Life is looking good!

Rex is purring so loud I can feel the vibrations traveling through his muscular chest. He, a prince xenomorph, is on a hugging basis with me! ME! Useless Azazel Lasangria the scary schizo in grade eleven catholic school who has a pharmacy for a bathroom and a freaky idea that monsters are going to attack her because a voice in her head named Elizabeth told her so! HA! Take THAT slutty teenage human girls! I'm covered more that an Amish nun and I STILL managed to have not only a person of the opposite gender attracted to me. But an actual, honest to goodness xenomorph PRINCE! Give me a golden ticket to heaven cause I just won the grand prize level of man and I think i'm about to die of happiness!
I looked up at my hunk of a xeno and smiled before kissing him on the cheek.
Well...
The mandable where his cheek was supposed to be.
Rex was awestuck, frozen on the spot, immobilized...
Then he kissed me back.
And I have to be honest...
Rex was a good kisser.
