Chapter 5: The Hunter
The alien winced and pointed at a small device on the wall. Matthew grabbed it and brought it over. The alien grabbed the device and held it to his worst wound. It began healing, his wounds closed. The alien, during this healing process passed out.
They heard another clang. This time from a different part of the ship, it was a much louder sound.
They left the sleeping alien to check it out.
They came across a cage holding a creature concealed by a tattered black cloth, it was breathing rapidly and clicking occasionally, The creature’s cloth cage cover was ripped to shreds and gently floating in the spaceship’s oxygen filter.
Elise moved close to the cage and looked closer, Matthew pulled her back just in time, a long, grey arm, with razor sharp claws reached out and slashed at the air where Elise had just been standing.
She screamed and they all ran for the exit.
The metal smashing sound increased in volume. Luke peeked down the dim corridor and saw the creature inside the cage in a frenzy, trying to break out.
The alien appeared beside Luke with a laser rifle and fired full auto into the cage.
A barrage of blue plasma balls flew from the blaster and the creature started to shriek. The alien shot almost a hundred rounds into the cage, until the creature inside the cage died.
The short alien looked at Luke, then handed Luke the metallic chrome futuristic blaster and hit the floor. Luke leaned closer and saw the alien was still managing to breathe, Jason put the laser gun in his jeans at the back and he grabbed the small alien like it was a toddler. They walked to the broken windshield. Matt helped Elise to reach for Michael’s hand. She climbed out of the cockpit. Luke helped Matt to climb out next, and then he passed the Grey man up to the boys. Then they reached down and pulled Luke from the cockpit.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
The alien was lying unconscious on the table, breathing gently with lots of difficulty. Luke handed the alien device to the girls and Kayla held the healing beam above the gray man. Luke inspected the laser gun he’d just been handed.
“I think there’s another one of those creatures here, we need to leave.”
“What about him?” Matt asked, pointing to the alien on the table.
“We should sell him to the FBI.” Michael said.
“No that’s slavery, you fucking cunt,” Troy said to Michael and grabbed him by the shoulder. ‘
From the roof of a nearby building, the alien wolf watched and breathed silently but very quickly. The monster was unseen and unheard, but it watched very closely. It had only met only of these things before.
“Let’s just wake him up and ask him to kill the other monster.” Troy continued. “It’s his monster after all. Did you say you found a human in there?”
“And a cow,” Matt said.
“See, fuck this little grey dude?” Troy said. “Heal him up and then let him deal with it. Let’s go.”
“Hey fuckwads. This is our fucking territory.” A voice called out.
“Oh shit.” Mike said.
Three guys from the Pacific Valley Football team were standing across from them. They were wearing purple and white letterman jackets. All three of the teenagers were quite tall and strong.
“You better not have touched our fucking weed patch you little fuckin shits. Get the fuck out of here.” One of the footballer’s said. In the dim light, the footballers were blinded by the flashlights, and could not see much in the dark.
The footballers walked away, they were tossing a pig skin between them in the dark and laughing wildly.
“Guy’s wait, don’t go out there, there’s a monster. There’s an alien.” Matt called out, trying to warn them
“You fucking pussy” A different footballer called back. “OoooooH. Aliens.”
“That’s some bullshit man, anyways I was fucking this chick Taylor the other day.” The footballer continued. The guys he was with started laughing. They walked towards the Haunted Train Coaster to collect their weed plants. They disappeared into the darkness.
The grey wolf was no longer on the rooftop either.
