Chapter: 2

I'm still not sure what she is. She has a humanoid body with a few different…variations here and there, such as the piece of skin that extends from the base of her skull back around her neck and into her spine, but overall she might be able to pass for a human.

"I can't just leave you out here…" I said, completely forgetting my previous train of thought. "For now I'll take you home." Figures, me talking to an unconscious humanoid alien. The word rung in my head for a little bit. I could be talking to an alien! This could be the first alien that has been in contact with human beings! The thrill of making this discovery fueled my adrenaline and I managed to lift her up in my arms. I took two steps before my legs flopped on me and I fell to the ground with her unconscious body lying on top of me.

"Ow, goddamn it!" I shouted out. This wasn't going to work. I managed to lift her up and roll out from underneath her. I needed a hand with this one. I flipped open my cell phone and looked through my contacts. My butler would probably freak out at this so I shouldn't call him about it…Drake! That's it! Drake could help me out in this situation. I pressed his name and let the phone dial.

"Come on…pick up!" I exclaimed impatiently as the phone rang. It didn't take long before the other end picked up.

"Drake." He stated.

"It's Leo, I need your help." I said back. "Come to the island." The other end went dead and I put my phone back in my pocket. It'll probably take him a few minutes to get here so I decided to look over this mysterious new alien. She was two shades of purple and had this small red bow in her ear. On her back was a long purple tail and she had two ears on the top of her head.

"The hell did you come from anyway?" I murmured out loud before looking back up to the sky. The sounds of tires sliding brought me out of my daze and I looked up the path to see Drake pulling up in his truck. I got up and walked over to him.

"Hey Drake, thanks for coming."

"It sounded pretty urgent when you skipped some of the formalities. What's up?" I motioned for him to follow me and took him back to the center of the island to show him the alien. He looked at it for a few before looking back up at me.

"The hell is this thing Leo?" He asked.

"If I knew, I'd tell you but I don't. I need your help getting her back to the mansion though." I replied.

"Don't you got a butler or someth'n for this?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I would, but I don't think he'd react as calmly as you did. You're the one I can really trust right now." I was practically begging him. He sighed and looked around for a bit before nodding.

"Alright Leo, I'll help you out. Just gimme a hand getting her to the car." I nodded and walked over, grabbing her shoulders while Drake grabbed her ankles. Together, we made our way to the SUV and loaded her into the back seat.

"You have any idea where it came from?" he asked. "Not a clue." was my reply. We walked into the front seats and buckled up. We drove back to my house in almost complete silence. The moonlight illuminated the path, along with Drake's lights from his SUV.

Not a word was said during the whole ride over to my house. We both were confused by the 'alien' in the back seat. Silence to me, was always golden, yet it always made me feel lonely. I shook the thought and put my mind to a more pressing matter for the moment.

We reached my house about 5 minutes later; mainly because it was only a mile away. As soon as we pulled up and stopped, I jumped out and told Drake, "Let me make Jack preoccupied. Wait 'till I give the signal." He nodded in a response.

I walk in calmly, almost like nothing happened. "Ah. You are finally back. What happened Master Leonardo?" Jack asked. He was near the door, dusting a table. "Sorry. Took a trip down memory lane." I told him. "Ah. The island I suppose?" he replied. "Yep. Can you make some meatloaf? I'm kinda hungry from the long walk back." I lied.

My butler was... A strange person, yet one that understood me and grew up with a similar background. He had

Jack chuckled and replied, "Right away." He walked towards the kitchen. I quickly took the opportunity. I dashed outside and opened the back door. "Alright. We got like an hour or so. Come on." I stated. Drake nodded and jumped out of the car.

I grabbed the arms of the creature and he grabbed the legs. We carefully carried her inside and tiptoed upstairs in the most silent tone that we could make. She was actually heavy, maybe estimating about 150 LBS.

As soon as we reached my room, Drake and I dashed for the bed and let her down quickly. "Jesus man, it is really heavy." he told me. "Yea. I know. Thanks for the help." I replied to him. "No problem man. I suppose you want me to keep this quiet?" he asks. "Until I find out a few things, yes." I stated. "Alright. See ya man!" he exclaimed as he walked out. "Bye." I waved at the same time.

He left the room and I stood there, watching her. I decided on putting a blanket over her and feel if she had a heart of some sort to tell me that something in her body was functioning. I placed my pointer and middle finger upon her neck, only to feel a vibration in it. There was actually a pulse! She was alive!

"Well. Can't quite say if that is a good or a bad thing." I told myself. "Master Leonardo! Your dinner is ready!" I heard from downstairs. "I'll be down in a moment!" I yelled. I took one last loot at her, before leaving the room and shutting the door.

My eyes opened and I sat up. As I looked around I saw that I was encased in some type of material. It actually felt nice, it was warm. I rested my body, yet I had to stay alert. They probably found me and put me in here.

Was I really just an experiment to them? A useless experiment. Nothing. I felt scared for a moment, and thought that they really had taken me back. The door opened, and it showed a human wearing something. "Ah. It's nice to see you are up." he said.

I stared at the creature. 'Hm. An astronaut breakthrough, although I am no astronaut.' I thought. "What is an astronaut?" she asked. I put a confused face on. 'Can she read my mind?' I thought. "I-I think so." she stated. "Incredible!" I exclaimed. "A creature that can read someone's mind!" I added.

"I'm just a creature?" she asked. Her eyes grew pink and I begun to levitate in the air. "You are just like the rest of them! Always insulting me!" she yelled. I was flung against a wall. "Ow." I weakly coughed. "You people don't deserve mercy for what you do to me!" she yelled, her voice rising.

Sure glad Jack wanted to stay at his house for the night.

"Please stop!" I begged. "No!" she yelled. "You are just like everyone! And everyone needs to be gone!" she exclaimed. "And I took you in while you passed out? This is a pretty crapy way to repay somebody." I stated.

Her facial expression changed. "Y-You took me in?" she asked. "Yea." I coughed blood out. "Ow." I added. "Explain." she told me. "Well I found you in my secret spot, unconscious. My friend and I brought you here to heal. Heh. But I guess I need to do the same as well." I told her.

"But... Humans are all the same..." she started. "Not always. Not always..." I said before I blacked out.
