Chapter 67: Armin

"Armin, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was when you secretly ran away for a month. You know that my condition is deteriorating yet you continue to worry your mother. Tell me, where have you been?" said Ruby, the woman who gave birth to the xenomorph. 

Her situation wasn't good. Her vision was clouded, her body extremely frail and weak and worst of all, she was bedridden and dying from internal wounds and infections. She was currently laying on a bed made from leaves, not very comfortable but convenient for sleeping. 

"I was out hunting mother, I have to eat and grow stronger in order to protect you." sounded a female and mature voice.
