Earth, America, Countryside.
As Gde reached the edge of the forest, the moonlight shining brightly, he looked around the trees as the cool night breeze touched his skin, feeling its freshness.
His legs stop for a second, his hand firmly gripping the shotgun. Looking around, there were no birds. No insects. No sound at all.
Gde hesitated little while still breath in and out calming his mind, then thought, "This silence felt strange before the crickets around the house, but it's quiet here? I know it's best to turn around now, but..."
He looked up at the sky, and his headlamp illuminated the direction of the smoke, which was still slightly present, and the asteroid hadn't crashed deep in the forest.
yet he made a decision. "I know this be very dangerous, considering how quiet this forest is. what ever was faling its seem not normal object either, If whatever happens, it'll come back quickly." He took a deep breath again. He gripped the shotgun, his finger on the trigger, and continued walking deeper into the forest.
He moved step by step inside the forest toward the impact area, while observing the surrounding trees to the left and right to ensure there were no dangers. As he made his way, step by step, then...
Crackk...
Craa..
Cr...
His body tensed, but he breathed in and out to calm his emotion. He looked where it came from. His eyes saw that he had stepped on a tree branch on the ground.
He thought, while taking a deep breath, "Shit!!! The sound came from the tree branch I stepped on!" He exhaled, waiting for a split second to calm his mind down, Then decide resumed walking step by step toward his destination.
After a few minutes,
he arrived at the impact site, and the moonlight and the light of his headlamp illuminated what lay ahead.
A shallow crater lay ahead, surrounded by cracked ground from the impact and fallen trees. A thin, unidentified smoke billowed into the air from within the crater.
"the strange smell??" Gde said slowly, observing the impact, the smell, and the strange smoke rising from it.
He narrowed his eyes.
He thought slowly, his heart aching with mixed emotions, "maybe it's carrying some kind of material, an extraterrestrial virus, or even radiation. In these conditions, it's best to turn back and wait until tomorrow morning..." Then he looked in the creater area and.... a small noise came from within the crater.
Zzzzzzz...
zzzz.....
zz...
Gde was startled by the sound. His hand was clutching a hard shotgun, and his mind was spinning, many thoughts coming to him, "Shit!! Let's turn back now, this isn't it......." the ground he was standing on at the edge of the crater suddenly collapsed.
Ruummmmm...
brummm...
He fell into the crater, his mind racing and mouth coughing up dust, but he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, calming his emotions. He looked left and right to to assess the situation.
He reached his left hand to the ground and pushed himself up. With his right hand,
he held his shotgun at the ready. He slowly rose to his feet said, "This isn't right. A sudden landslide in a shallow crater? This is really bad." He stabilized his body and mind, holding his shotgun at the ready, but his eyes remained focused on the direction ahead to where the object that falling from sky was. He saw smoke, but...
Something caught his attention.
In the midst of the smoke & dust, there was a strange object, almost spherical.
"A spaceship?" he muttered. "Or maybe some kind of unknown secret black government project?" his mind thought. "This is all already weird, even absurd, after everything that happened before entering the forest, there was no sound, a sudden landslide, and now a fucking unknown object." This is where I can go back now this is already off really the felling really OFFF. not just can. "I really need..."
While he spun around quickly, his eyes catching a climbable area, he step fast into that side then placed his hands on the indentation in the ground above and tried to lift himself out of the shallow crater. a somekind unknown field move from the object.
Husshhhhh......
Hushhh...
hhhhhhhhh.........
As he almost could climb up, he was thrown back by an unknown field.
His mind was spinning rapidly, "Fuckkkk.....!!!!. It's fucking possible it contains something dangerous. I need to leave and get up immediately!!! IDIOTTT!" He turned his body, lying on the ground, saw the shotgun lying beside him, and quickly picked it up. His eyes fell on the object a few dozen meters in front of him, and he was surprised to see that the smoke around it had cleared...
shizzzz.zzz....
shizzzz...
brush of air in the area
daaaaar...aaa
the object split like a door .... and he saw a shadow of something from inside while Gde pressed his feet to the ground and his left hand behind the dirt wall and lifted his body and slowly got up and took a position while his thoughts and emotions were spinning that could not be said "whoaaa!! it's fucking an alien!!!, calm down Gde Try to take a deep breath and focusss!!!. " while his eyes focus lock onto it "Its look humanoid..." he tried to take a deep breath in and out and tried to calm his mind...
And then figure came out of the object and its eyes looked at Gde sharply.
Gde's body froze in midair mix of emotion washing overhim and his heartbeat was fast, yet his eyes focused and the shotgun in his hand aimed at the alien. Thanks to his headlamp, he could see the entire alien, while his thoughts were already racing as he saw the alien, "this the most absurd thing happend to me!! It's like something out of a comic book, it's humanoid, almost like a dark elf but not quite perfect either."
Silverhair!
silverdark eyesball
dark blue skin
an a small two horn in its foreheads!
long ears!
he said to himself "STOPP!!! thinking weird stuff "GDE!!!!" this is fucking unknown alien not something you gooning like a fucking waifu coming out of comic books!
His hand gripped the gun tightly, as his breath in and out steadying his mind as he eyes saw the alien take one step forward...
he shout "STOP!!.. DONT MAKE A MOVEE!!!" his finger was already on the trigger while the alien eyes still focus at him, tried to move its other legs to take one more step, but failed, falling on the ground while holding its head. Gde was shocked to see this, noticed blue blood coming from the alien's forehead, something he hadn't noticed before, he was almost fired the shotgun!.
He took a deep breath and few moment of hesitantly, walked forward slowly yet his body still in a shooting stance mantaining momentum, in case something went south he just need to execute it on the spot. He took one step at a time, until he was right in front of the alien's body lying on the ground.
his eyes now saw the alien's body clearly, there was a lot of blood coming out of its forehead.
He raised his gun towards the alien's head and be ready, and he move his left leg to touch the alien's body and tried it twice "The alien is unconscious or maybe this was trap.., this was bad, then now what? if police or any government agency know? Then what would happen? Will I also be locked up and checked to see if I'm contaminated with the space virus?..." breath in and out slowly while his mind racing thinking about concequences.
he put his right hand into his pants pocket and took out his smartphone and he saw that there was still...
no phone signal at all or internet and the clock was now at 02:00 AM
said "maybe the same field that kick me back is also what damaged the network on this countryside, and that was 1 hour ago!"
he sighed "what do I do now? just leave the alien here let it die? or kill it right on spot while it injuried?, let animals will consume it? even lions will have big party?"
shacking his head "Who knows, if the field causes satellites in space to shut down also before entering the Earth's atmosphere, the government might find out and maybe.....,"
His gaze back to the alien. The wound in the forehead had worsened.
"Damn it," he whispered. "You're actually feeling sorry for this thing?"
He looked at the crater wall again then back at the alien.
"Fine. You're an idiot," he told himself. "But we're doing this." Taking a deep breath and exhaling, he crouched down and slowly pulled his shirt up over his body. Then,
he used it to tie the alien's forehead tightly to prevent further bleeding.
He lifted the alien and carried it on his arm, his eyes scanning its face and body while maintain focus."Its skin is colder than a human's. I never thought an alien's body would be lighter than a woman's on Earth. How would I know? Let's just say I've been studying too :) and also surfing the internet too much."
As the alien's soft body touched his chest, "BOOBSS?!! And its soft skin maybe this is some kind of advance spacesuit!! that covers the whole body"
A thought crossed he said to himself, "You're so stupid to think about BOOBSS?!! in this situation, never mind." Then maybe the alien was female? "or weird biology like a lot novel or comics? while shaking his head to not think too much about it because this was an unknown species, the danger was there! when this creature suddenly woke up and popout lasser out of nowhere then i might be the one who down on the spot, if something bad happened he had to be ready to face it and kill it...
Few minute passed by
Gde arrive at infront of his house while the alien was on his arm yet its feel weird when carrying the alien in bridal style. His eyes looked around the neighbors' houses. "Maybe someone will notice the crash site tomorrow morning," he muttered, contemplating the aftermath.
He stepped inside.
Moving quickly, he carried the alien to his bedroom and gently laid him on the bed.
He grabbed a first aid kit and began treating the wound on his head, cleaning it carefully before wrapping it with bandages.His movements slowed slightly as he looked at the wound.
"I don't even know if this will work," he said quietly "Different biology, different reactions."
He hesitated for a moment."Still better than doing nothing." With that, he continued, doing what he could.
