increasing heart rate,
she drifted into the night towards the light. It seemed to have a
hypnotic hold on her as she forgot all else and maintained eye
contact with it. The closer she got, the more she was able to see
that it was a vehicle of some sort. Instantly, she thought someone
might be injured, and that there had been an accident. She started
running now. She had had only one year left in medical school; she
had passed all the basics of CPR and checking and sustaining vitals.
She dropped the bat, danger all but forgotten, as the only thought
that possessed her mind was of someone lying in the wreck.
    Her feet
slowed the closer she got to the crash site. It was too far into the
clearing for it to be a truck. What would anyone be doing so far out?
She looked back now to where she had let the bat fall, and
contemplated going back for it.
    Help,”
she heard someone say from the site.
    Someone
was there. And alive too. Jalicia charged forward once more, not
stopping to notice the make and model of the vehicle that was
obviously strange in appearance.
    “Where
are you?” she asked as she knelt and peered under the wreck.
She didn’t hear anything else, other than a crackling sound and
some static, like it was coming from some sort of radio. “Hello?”
she called once more, but there was nothing.
    She got
on her stomach and began to squeeze under the mess, until she found
some room to stretch out more. She looked around her frantically for
the voice that had called to her before. “Hello?” she
called once more as she looked around. And then she started, when she
saw him in the corner. But even as she did, she was rooted to the
spot. Even more alarming than the red liquid running down his
forehead, was the fact that he wasn’t human at all. He couldn’t
be.

Chapter 3
    Jalicia
took one unsure step after another until she was standing over what
might be another life form. He looked human, except that he was
green, and had webbed feet that sort of looked human too. And then
there was his skin that glowed in the flickering light. She knelt
there, unable to move for a few seconds as fear and panicked gripped
her. The doctor in her wanted to help, but she wasn’t sure what
it was, or if her own life would be in danger if she did. So she
remained there, staring, until it opened its piercing black eyes, and
then shrunk back.
    He
looked wildly about him, as if she appeared strange to him too, and
it was in his fear that Jalicia knew she would not be harmed. “It’s
okay,” she said as she moved closer. “Let’s get you
out of this thing.”
    Antash
looked at the strange creature that hovered over him. She had a
strange but beautiful face, and the light coming from behind her gave
her an even more heavenly glow. Her smooth dark skin felt soft next
to his as she touched him, bidding him to get up. He was hypnotized
by her, and the pain he was feeling a few seconds ago was replaced by
confusion. And something else. He blinked at her, and she smiled as
she tried to get him to move.
    “Come
on,” Jalicia said. “You are bleeding, and I can help
you.”
    Reluctantly
he moved, still unfamiliar with what was happening or where he was.
“Where am I?” he began and then the coughing started.
    “It
seems you are more injured than I thought. So, let’s make a
deal; I will get you out of here, and then we can talk.”
    Antash
gave into her then, and allowed her to take his hand as he tried to
lift himself off the ground. He could see she was struggling with his
weight, and Jalicia couldn’t believe how much heavier he
looked. The crackling sound had stopped, but she saw him pause to
retrieve a device, perhaps the same one the sound was coming from,
before limping outside with her. The door of the glider all but fell
off as he pushed against it, and he tumbled outside. Both of them
fell against the grassy surface, entangled in each other, before
jumping up to separate.
    Jalicia
brushed off her dress and stood upright. He
