Captured

Ch 3

Ralnir studied the vent trying to find a way to pry it off without the humans discovering what he was doing. Eventually he laid in front of it and began using his tail to twist the screws out of it. Finally after several minutes of turning the screws he heard the vent shift as the final screw fell out. He looked to the woman who had fell asleep after eating her portion of food and hissed to wake her up.

As her eyes slowly opened he hissed once more to get her attention and when she turned to him he gave her a toothy smile and pulled the vent off of the wall. When she saw what he had done she gave a low chuckle and nodded. She walked over and waited for him to crawl in first before joining him.

They crawled for several minutes before their absence was noticed and the alarm began to screech. Finally Ralnir found an exit from the vents and ripped the cover off so they could slip through he went first the woman following after. When they looked around they where both stunned to see a praetorian in a containment device.

They watched as the large xeno lifted his crested head and let out a long threatening hiss. Ralnir immediately began hissing back do not worry brother we are not here to harm you, in fact if you swear not to harm my human we will release you. The praetorian looked at the smaller xeno for several moments before answering very we'll but I cannot swear the same to the ones who have tormented me. Ralnir snorted at the creatures answer before nudging the woman and nodding towards the other xeno.

She was confused for a few moments until he tapped the cuffs holding the praetorian into the containment device. Finally she understood and nodded before moving to the control console and after a few moments of searching hit the release button. She heard the praetorian drop to the ground behind her and she turned only to look into the depths of the Xenos maw
