Thread: Alien Landing

Quinn yawned as he woke at around 700am, stretching as he sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes and reaching for the glasses on his bedside table, grabbing them so he could see as he crawled out of bed, stumbling through to the bathroom for his morning shower, humming slightly to himself as he washed, climbing out of the shower around 730 and getting dressed, eating breakfast as normal, putting on the TV to watch the morning news. Nothing much going on besides the usual really. Mmm....another boring day.... Quinn sighed as he turned the TV off. It was currently summer vacation so he had no college classes to attend. The boy lived alone in a small two bedroomed house that his parents had bought for him, they were rather well off so had bought him his own place in order to attend his chosen college. It gave him a lot of freedom, though it did tend to leave him feeling rather lonely some of the time...ok...just about all of the time. It wasn't until about 750, just as Quinn was passing by the window that he heard the loud noise, like an explosion in the air, so loud that the windows even rattled, so badly he thought for a moment they might shatter. What in the hell....? He moved for the back door quickly, pulling it open and looking up just in time to see....something...falling from the sky. It was hard to see, it seemed to be reflecting everything...the only way he could see anything at all was that sunlight was also reflecting off it. What is that....? Huh...? Hey....wait a second....that thing is coming right towards....oh shit! Quinn barely dove back into the house in time, just as the object slammed into his back yard, showering the house with grass and dirt, along with Quinn through the still open door. Fortunately, only the yard seemed to be damaged, the actual house relatively unscathed, besides now in need of a good wash. Quinn coughed as he slowly stood up, dusting himself down and rubbing at his glasses to clean them, taking a few moments to step outside the door and wave a hand infront of him to try and clear the dust. It was strange, most of it was dust from the dirt, but there was an odd green smoke as well. Still, it didn't seem dangerous so Quinn moved through it, until he spotted movement, then someone collapsing onto the ground not 5 feet infront of him. It was....a person! No....as the dust cleared it began to become obvious this most definately wasn't a person....not in the way Quinn would know anyway. Wh-what....? He took a step closer, then stopped as she suddenly seemed to move, hesitating for a few moments then slowly kneeling down just as the....thing....looked up at him. He stared down at her or a moment, barely noticing the object in which she had come down burning behind her, almost disintegrating as if to leave no trace of itself behind. And then....it spoke....it spoke in English...asking for peace....safety....help. A-ah! Quinn blinked down at her. You...can talk...? He was caught by his surprise for a few moments, staring at the helpless creature, before quickly moving towards her. At first it seemed like he might be about to attack her, but instead he gently put an arm beneath her legs, another beneath her back, carefully picking her up. C-come on, lets get you inside....it's gonna be alright....I'm gonna help you alright? He smiled down at her, then moved to head back into the house, carrying the creature through to the living room and carefully placing her down on the couch. Um...I....ok I'm not sure what to do.....how...can I help you? Quinn was no doctor when it came to humans, when it came to....whatever she was....he really had no idea.
