Lavinia: Xenomorph

A Story by Abishai100

Darling army-gal Lavinia must get-through a 'test' of Earth-faith/courage (with a 'secret' assistance from her knight Alas).

An eerie dark fable featuring the Red Xenomorph (Alien media). Thanks for reading,

Lavinia stared onto the misty foggy field by the woods near her Chicago house almost every Saturday at dawn and wondered if she'd been daydreaming/hallucinating the 'presence' of an eerie unknown 'creature-being' but she decided to keep this strange premonition a dark secret, not confiding even in her boyfriend Alas.

LAVINIA (Diary-Entry): The Chicago-house I share with Alas is quite nice, and I keep wondering if I'm to tell him my secret.

Lavinia didn't hallucinate anything. An eerie insect-dragon being/alien called Red-Xenomorph traveled through the faraway mysterious Stargate dimensions portal and crossed into Earth-realm and was haunting those very misty/foggy woods that Lavinia would spend Saturday dawns staring out into with that strange premonition. This 'alien' being wanted only/simply to determine if he'd be able to 'sway' Lavinia towards darkness and away from her otherwise spiritual/Catholic life of peace/security. It had razor-claws and a devious intelligence.

ALAS: Why're you stalking my darling Lavinia, dragon?
ALIEN: You know why, but I won't permit your darling American army-woman to flee from her target-duty.

ALAS: So you're psychic and guessed she's an army-gal and a great target-shooter, eh?

ALIEN: Oh, yes...and if you can draw a stalemate-chess game condition against me, I'll let her take the first-shot.

ALAS: Sounds evilly fair, dragon...but what's your interest (personally) in my love of rook-bishop chess-play?

ALIEN: I know you're her 'chess-hero' and I think we'd draw an intrigue-stalemate and reward Lavinia with a one-shot!

ALAS: And so she'll keep her secret, and I'll know she's safe and can return to my Friday-night video-rental visits, eh?

ALIEN: She'll have it all...all you've to do is 'become' her chess-Facebook knight.

ALAS: Sounds...distinguished!

Lavinia got the army-station call from her base some time after the alien conferred with her boyfriend Alas with this standoff-proposition. She was sent alongside two other soldiers of the National Guard to investigate reporting of a deformed/malicious alien 'being' lurking in the misty/foggy woods she became accustomed to every Saturday dawn-time and wandered into it with her target-rifle...and took her shot and watched the 'dragon' vanish before her very-eyes and in front of her army-compatriots. She ran home and told Alas, "I'm a hero...but my woods-action miracle is gov't-confidential, my darling Alas...I'm posting a soldier-photo on Facebook now!"

Alas never told her of what the alien promised not to disclose, since he'd achieved in performing his proposed 'chess' duty and meanwhile Lavinia never told her hero-beau of her successful/miracle shot in the woods which 'exiled' the Red-Xenomorph to an Earth-abyss where it'd consented to reside (forever!) as an isolationist-exile.

ALAS: Do you like this Spider-Man adventure-courage comics-film, sweetheart?
LAVINIA: Oh yeah...it reminds me of something...distinguished.
