Snippet #2472282

Alice waded through the thick smoke of unconsciousness, family images swirled around her like teasing specters. Non-existent tears rolled down her face. So cruel was the universe she was born in, become one of Earth's last hopes and then, just when they find a possible solution, it's swiped away leaving a 13 year old girl, who didn't even want to go on the trip, alone and a middle aged man who didn't even know how he got there. What were they going to do now? They couldn't contact Earth and they were surrounded by potentially dangerous creatures. Alice had read enough to know what they were, but she wondered if they acted and could do what her books had said. Light slashed through the smoke Alice was waking up. She was going to live, she would seek out a species here willing to take care of her. She couldn't live on her own. She didn't know enough about the creatures here.

Alice opened her eyes, she was being carried by the werewolf into the treeline of a forest, "Thank you." she whispered before relaxing into silence, she would be okay soon.
