</div></div><span style="font-family: 'Didact Gothic', 'sans-serif'">The rather morbid words sent a tingle down the female's spine; he had no idea how much it aroused her. Kal being what he was lured her in, and his viciousness kept her wrapped around him. Of course she enjoyed his tender side, but she'd fallen for the beast inside of him. Or was it the other way around? Zara smiled at the very thought. As he informed her about the creature, she nodded slowly, "Then tame it we will," Her gaze frequently flicked back up toward him, never quite leaving him. What truly caught her attention was the way his demeanor changed to some degree, the cooler, harsher tone emerging. "So you were never made to change, not all that much anyway," Her voice was almost tender as she looked over him, he was indeed perfection to her; she couldn't imagine a world where he would need to change further. <br/>
<br/>
Zara was thankful to have a hand to rise up onto her feet. The swell of her belly was taking more to adjust to than she thought, especially as she'd almost doubled in size an hour or two ago. She noticed just how Kal focused on the creature that was forming, and she knew it wouldn't be for no reason. Everything he did had reason or purpose, one way or another. A warm smile curved over her lips as his met her forehead, causing her to ease into him. "You knew that before you even knew me, didn't you?" The way he confirmed his words with a gaze made the female feel superior, he'd desired for for that purpose. When he released her suddenly, the woman glanced toward the being with a clear expression of concern. As Kal neared the bay, Zara wanted to speak out but she saw his gaze, and she knew she had to let him handle it.<br/>
<br/>
"The only ones we had were on the soldiers," Zara glanced through the area, but it seemed everyone had kept their weapons on their person, the ship didn't seem to have a weapons room listed, that she knew of. The female watched in horror as the creature darted toward her lover, and just as he had with humans, he outsmarted it. The thought of losing him to this beast had her stomach in knots. "Containment, got it," She was already leaning over the desk to begin tapping into the blueprints of the ship. There had to be a strong enough locked down area they could trap it in. The medical bay wasn't one of them, it was barely airlocked. The brunette snapped her head up to see her lover being hurled against a wall, even though he landed well, she knew that the creature was gunning for him and clearly it was much stronger than she thought. "Fuck," She cursed softly before trying to find what they needed.<br/>
<br/>
When Kal came toward her, Zara took one last glance at the blueprints and gripped a hold of his hand before she tugged him into a run. "I didn't find a weapons room but I found a cargo unit, it's airlocked and fairly well secured compared to the rest of the ship. My guess is that this is a transport vehicle more than anything else," The female was pulling them along the corridors and down toward the cargo room, but her pace was lacking. The more she sprinted, the more the baby began to react, spinning and kicking against her innards. "Down here," the female huffed as she nodded toward the dark hallway. It didn't seem to be lit up like the others. There was only a dead end to the room, which may prove tricky. There were no side routes to take. "I wonder... The medical bay may have enough sedatives to keep it somewhat docile," She gazed up to Kal before taking a moment to stop rushing. <br/>
<br/>
The crashing above them hinted that it was close, there was only one stairway down. "We can also release the cargo lock when we land... it'll be unleashed onto them." A hint of a smirk played on her lips. "Keep it busy, I'm going to get the sedatives." The female leaned up to press her lips against his in a soft peck as her belly pressed into his abdomen before she tore off to do just as she'd said. Unfortunately, even though the beast seemed to be further back than the stairs, her footfalls caused it to switch directions. Zara broke into a sprint as her deep, slow breaths returned. The woman imagined it like training, she'd had to prove herself then and she would do so again.<br/>
<br/>
Zara had been on many ships just like the current one they were on, so she had no issue bolting through the correct passages. The screams almost caused her to stop when they shrieked toward her, thundering footfalls crashed down onto the metal surface of the floor as it boomed after her. Thankfully, she found a corpse Kal had left and swiftly snagged a rifle, after ripping it from the strap. When she neared the medical bay, the female tripped and fell onto her side. The curse that left her lips hinted she'd most likely bruised her hip before she was able to roll into the room and slam the butt of her gun into the switch for the door. It wouldn't last long, but it'd be enough time for her to get what she needed. After she'd seen it fight with Kal, there was no chance she was going to stand up to it. <br/>
<br/>
After rummaging in the cupboards, she found the sedatives she needed. Since they hadn't worked well on Kal, she could only hope for the best. Combining them with various other medications. Among them were intensely strong pain killers that often had some negative side effects, all Zara hoped for was that it would give the creature a buzz, enough to cause it to be deluded from the actual situation in front of it. The female found an empty bottle and began to empty out what she could into it as the creature screamed on the other side of the glass, already slamming itself into the wall. With each hit the glass began to crack, they grew rather quickly. Thankfully, she'd just finished the vial when it began to give way. The shatter echoed through the room and no doubt parts of the ship. <br/>
<br/>
"Oh you're a big boy aren't you?" Her voice didn't shake, nor did she. Zara knew she needed to feed it the vial, and there seemed to be only one way to do it. Let it get closer. The creature moved rather swiftly, advancing on her as if she was prey. The jaws seemed to remain open, giving her a glimpse into a maw that held far too many teeth for her liking. As it drew in, she gripped the vial, her other hand securely holding her rifle. At the last second, she hurled the vial and quickly snapped her gun into her other hand and fired several shots the maw so that it took a few moments that allowed her to slip past, dashing to the other exit. Even from that distance, she heard crunching of glass as it dealt with the vial, all she could hope was that it'd react the same. <br/>
<br/>
Zara's pulse was racing, and it was putting strain on her and the child as she dashed back the same route she'd run with Kal, but she was running thin, she needed energy. The female had been trying to ignore the screeching to focus on her route. The feeding she'd had earlier had sustained her child, but she was soon realizing how much it would take for them both as she began to slow, her body struggling to sprint the way she used to. The beast was able to catch up to her, Zara was only two corridors away when she felt a sarp, boney appendage lash on to smack into her legs, causing the female to sway to the side and slam into the wall. "KAL!" She called out, in that moment, the beast screamed, as if the mention of his name pissed it off. The being drew closer, slamming two spiny appendages at either of her sides as it's maw seemed to focus on her belly. "Not a chance," The female growled. Before she could shoot, the creature lunged and sank its teeth into her arm, causing a shrill cry of pain from her lips as she felt the teeth sink toward the bone. Zara fought with all she had, kicking at it's other legs and somehow managing to ease her other arm in to grab the gun as it tried to tug at her flesh. Somehow, it wasn't as lethal in that moment, maybe the human DNA inside of it was fighting the vicious attack on her. Either way, she continued to struggle to gain a grasp on the weapon.<br/>
