The girl stared at the napkin. She stood up and examined it. Once she recognized the purpose, she took it and began to clean her face. "Alien? Me? Yes... I think. My name is Qualidanee. But I call me Danee." She told him. "Hello Daniel." She added, looking at the picture of body language that came with the paper. Then she stared at her hand and held it out for him to shake.
-
"Oh, thank god you understand what I say."
Dan couldn't help but smile as the girl mimicked the body language manual and offered a hand shake.
"Nice to meet you...Qualidanee?" He said, shaking her trembling hand. -
"God?" Danee asked. "Colipher..." She whispered, letting go of his hand and frowning. Her specious had a religion surrounding a God called Colipher. Colipher assigned a purpose to everyone based on a dice roll done by the Priest. Your children would have the same purpose as you. If you failed at your purpose you could go to get it changed. Unless your purpose was a slave... They believed Colipher would make the dice fall on the perfect destiny for their genetics. So each dice number was a destiny.
Danee blinked back into reality and tilted her head. "Understand you... Yes..." She told him. "Understand God... No." She added, tilting her head the other way. -
Colipher? Understanding god? What was she talking about?
"Who is colipehr? Is it the name of your mother?" He knew it was her mom because he saw the girl calling her mama amidst her tears.
Dan turned around to look at the woman. She was lying face down on the ground, but the ship was making a strange noise that was getting louder and louder. Was it gonna explode or something? -
"No... Colipher is God." She answered. "He chose me as slave." She added, looking at her Mama. "Mama's name is Jalianassey. She calls her Jalia." Danee explained. She then looked at the ship. "The ship... Its trying to tell! No!" She panicked, running over the rubble to the ships computer.
She put in multiple codes to try and shut it down. The ship kept beeped in morse code saying Error in her language. Danee screamed in frustration and started smashing the computer. She punched it as hard as she could until the ship stopped glowing. She sighed in relief, feeling exhausted. The computers parts had cut into her hands so they were bleeding. She gasped for breath and coughed from the smoak before passing out. -
Dan picked up the girl and made for his grandma's house. What was he gonna do with her now? Was he supposed to take care of her now? One thing was for sure, he had to hide her from people or god knows she would end up either dead or dried in a museum somewhere.
The door was locked, he had to hold her with one arm to search for his keys in his pocket. It wasn't even a trouble as she felt more like a feather than an actual human.
He put her down on the couch. She was breathing heavily but still seemed unconscious. There was something like a burnt dog collar on her neck.
"She said she was a slave" he murmured to himself, trying to get his head around the idea. -
Danee breathed carefully and memories of the crash repeated in her brain. Once her brain sorted all the information, and the cuts on her hands scanned to seal, light began to peak through her eyes. She opened her eyes to see that she was in a house. She was too drowsy to panic as she carefully sat up and stared at Dan. "Hello." She greeted, moaning as she held her head.
-
"Oh hi you're awake." He watched her in awe as she woke up and some mysterious glow found its way to her body.
"How are you feeling? Good? You wannna eat something?" -
Danee heard the word eat and nodded as her stomach growled. She wondered what kind of food they had on Earth as she sat up. "Where am I?" She asked, looking around the room. Then she gasped and held her head because she had a pounding head ach. "The ship... I stopped the ship?" She asked between moans of pain.
-
"Oh erm..hold on let me get some pain killers."
Dan went into the bedroom and looked for some painkillers in the drawer. He then grabbed some fruit and a glass of water from the fridge for the girl. Thank god her mother kept coming here every now and then or the house would have been a mess.
Dan put the stuff on the table in front of her. He had so many questions, but she looked agitated.
"Hey, have these pills with this glass of water. It will help with the pain. Just like this, put the pills on your tongue, and then drink the water over it." -
Danee nodded and took the pain killer. She knew those words... They were both bad things. They both meant damage. Yet the two words together sounded good. She drank the water and looked at the fruit curiously before turning back to Dan. "I broke the ship... Yes?" She asked in a very serious voice. "I stopped it yes? I stopped the computer?" She asked.
-
"Yeah I'm pretty sure you did. You went over to the computer, did something, smashed it in and then the beeps stopped."
Dan paused for a moment, still looking awkwardly at the girl's pink eyes.
"Hey, where do you come from? Which planet?" -
Danee blinked as she took in his questions. "Good... I don't know it's name. Mamas master did not say. I don't know how far. I was frozen." She told him, looking at the fruit. She decided that it was probably food and picked it up. She studied it and took out a bite. It was sweet and the juice felt good on her dry throat. She smiled as she ate it.
-
Dan went and made some sandwiches in the kitchen for the girl.
"These ones are my favorites, but they say they're very bad for your health. Though I don't suppose your body works the same way...hehe." Dan said with a grin as he took a huge bite at one himself. -
Danee ate the fruit and went deeper and deeper. She realized she couldn't eat it's core and spit the core out. Then proceeded to eat the rest of the fruit. She looked at the sand which and stared at it. She watched Dan eat his then picked it up and did it the way he did. She smiled, never tasting something this good in her life! She ate the sandwich quickly and for the first time in her life she felt full.
