Loading... please wait.

The girl was way closer than I initially thought she would be. Only just 3 rooms away from mine. Her sobbing became louder as time went on. Me slamming on the apparently still functional locked door in the hopes of trying to enter didn't help either. So I punched a hole though the door. Her sobbing turned to screaming Im also pretty sure she's saying something in another language but I do not know what it means.

[Want me to translate it for you?]

You can do that? Cool! Do it. I wanna talk to her properly and a language barrier isn't helping the fact that I'm a 7 foot tall monster breaking down the door that separates her from the horrors outside. She's most likely gonna be scared for some time but I'll manage.

I saw no one once I went inside. The little whimpers that's coming out of the closet gave away her position though. I stood infront of the closet and shrieked for the next minute or something. I wanted to show her who's the dominant one here. And I sure as hell succeeded! She ran out of the closet screaming once she couldn't hold it in anymore only for me to grab her in the collar and forcefully held her up to look at the area where my eyes were supposed to be. My plan on making eye contact wouldn't work if all she does is cover her goddamn eyes! I really wanna slam you to the floor! So if you dont shut your Fucking mouth I'll do it by paralyzing you. you got that?!

She flinched which was then followed by her saying something in an unknown language.

[Please dont - that's what she's repeating over-and-over again.]

She can hear my thoughts? Wait, that's not even the main problem here! She understood English! OI! How can you understand English? I said as I flailed her around. Maybe I shouldn't have since she's currently puking in the side of the room. System, dont you think it's inconvenient that you have to translate it for me? Can't you just make it so that I directly understand what she says?

[If you want to have a skill like that then you need to wait for the shop to reset and hopefully sell it. For now I'll translate it for you.]

I really wish I could express my discomfort by exhaling really hard right now. Also known as a "sigh" I'm starting to think that being a monster that doesn't need to breath has it's own downsides. Thinking about problems really took me off from the world since while I was having a midlife crisis the girl got close and sat beside me I didn't even notice her, she probably has been sitting there for quite some time now. Why didn't you run away? I said as I looked down on her. And just as I expected, the language she replied in this time was in English it was surprisingly fluent too.

“you know about the old language... mister?”

Old? What do you mean by that? And why do you have no clue as to what I am? I'm a Xenomorph also known as the "perfect organism" or if you're an idealist that thinks my species can be controlled we go by the name "the living weapon"

“Xenomorph? I dont know what that is mister.” she said whilst tilting her head.

Also, why aren't you scared of me? And you forgot answer my first question! What do you mean by old? Why are you so fixated about their language? How and when did you learn it?

“You're silly mister!” she says while giggling. She really let her guard down around me huh? “it's because mister doesn't mean any harm to me. Earlier I sensed that you wanted to use me for something bad so I cried. But now you just wanna ask me questions right?! No one has done that before! So I will give you answers! The "people of old" were the ones who built the ruins like the one we're currently on their language is what we are using to speak now that's why I wanna learn more about it! Maybe I'll find one of them someday but before then I'm getting ready! And my papa found a flat square that magically shows images! Then he plugs in a smaller box on the side of the square so that I can watch cartoons! Their limited though, and I already have watched all of them.”

A T.V and USB? I'm guessing you found them in one of the buildings? Are they in perfectly good shape? Or did your father repair them?  What state were they in when you found them? And as I said those words her face lit up especially at the TV and USB part.

“mister, c-could you be one of them?!” She said as she sprang up. Guess this is the eye contact I was hoping for?
