Chapter 6: Matt

  The grey alien woke up on the table. It looked at the humans around him and he ran to a nearby wall and cowered.

  Matt approached him and crouched.

  He held up a fist to bump and pointed at himself. “Matt”

  The alien blinked and understood perfectly. The alien started to tell the humans the story of his ship crash landing, and the danger they faced.

  “Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt Matt MATT MATT, Matt, Matt, Matt.” The alien said. He realised he should have paid attention to his classes in English at Alien University.

  The alien got frustrated and walked back to the crashed ship. He climbed inside and the group stayed outside.

  The alien emerged later wearing a high tech battle suit, he carried a laser weapon and a roomba-like walking robot.

  The alien walked into the middle of the road and deployed the device, a radar dish appeared and started to beep.

  The teens all guessed it was to contact a rescue team.

  The alien tried to tell the group to leave in his native language because of the grave and dire danger, but the teens could not understand.

  They heard a scream in the distance. The footballers

  They all ran to the direction of the sound.

  The waterpark, murky green water sat at a low level in all of the pools, plants had begun to grow inside some of the ponds and slides.

  On the middle of the footpath, they found a slashed up letterman belonging to one of the footballers.

  The alien took the lead and walked carefully in front of everyone, using his turtle-roomba scanner to try to detect signs of life.

  The scanner detected motion and they looked to see one of the Football players running towards them.

  “It fucking got Christian!” The teenager screamed, tears were streaming down his face. “What the fuck was that thing?” He howled. “Let’s go, let’s fucking go, let’s fucking go.”

  “Holy shit what the fuck is that alien doing with a gun?” The football player continued.

  “He’s on our side, I hope.” Luke said.

  “Have you guys seen Daniel?” The football player asked. “He was at the haunted house trying to hide, I fucking tried to save Christian. I tried to save him.”

  The grey alien scanned the darkness with his eyes.
