Chapter 7: What Are You?

It was a Saturday night.


Elliott was watching television and suddenly he hears a vibration beside him


It was his phone and Jay was texting him


Jay [Message]: "Hey dude. Did you see the shooting star a few minutes ago? It was AWESOME!"


Elliot [M]: "Oh I must have missed it"


Jay [M]: "Sad. Wanna know what I wished for?"


Elliott [M]: "For you to get out of summer class?"


Jay [M]: "Man you're good"


Elliott [M]: "Thanks I'm going to bed now. Bye"


Jay [M]: "Cya man"




Elliott puts down his phone and turns off the television and heads to bed and lays down.


Elliott: "Don't feel sleepy yet. Maybe a walk will do"


Elliott gets up goes to their closet and grabs a jacket and a backpack and heads outside.


Elliott's Mother: "Where are you going?"


Elliott: "Out for a stroll."


Elliott's Mother: "Okay. Don't stay up late"


Elliott: "I won't"


Elliott walks out of his house and starts taking a walk.


It was a calm night. The winds were cold, the streetlights lighting up the town, and the moon shining down on him.


Elliott walks to the park to sit on a bench and admire the view for a while. Suddenly he notices something off place.


Elliott: "Strange. I don't remember seeing a broken tree all the way there. Eh whatever. Someone probably just wanted to cut that tree. No big deal"


Elliott walks closer to the tree and sees a trail of dirt.


Elliott: "Strange."


He follows the trail leading to a silver pod.


Elliott: "What is this?"


He picks up a stick and pokes it.


Elliott: "Should not have done that, Should not have done that..."


Unfortunately nothing happened. Which brought relief to Elliott.


Elliott: "Phew. Thought it was gonna open up and reveal like something that could kill me"


Elliott: "which reminds me to not watch a lot of horror movies."


He then takes a peek inside the glass. He couldn't see anything because of the dried mud covering it.


Elliott: "Oh I'm stupid."


Elliott grabs a bottle of water from his backpack and pours the water on the pod to wash off the dirt.


Elliott: "Hopefully this thing isn't water activated."


The water drips off the pod. Although some drops managed to sneak in through the little cracks of the window and causes it to open.


This scared Elliott. Thinking on instinct, he hides behind a tree


Elliott: "Crap I'm dead!"


Elliott takes a peek from the tree to see nothing came out of the pod. He goes out of hiding and picks up the stick.


Elliott: "Okay, this is gonna be stupid"


He walks toward the pod. Holding the stick tightly, ready to swing at whatever he is about to face


Elliott walks close enough to see something inside the pod. It looked like an animal.


Elliott: "What is that?"


Elliott pokes it with the stick he's holding. It's ear twitched


Elliott: "It's alive!"


Elliott: "Should I just leave it here? What if someone else finds this... Thing?"


Elliott: *Sigh* "I'm gonna do something stupid. Ask Jay for advice on something like this"


Elliott reaches for his phone in his backpack. He was then shocked as his phone wasn't in there


Elliott: "Dammit I forgot to bring my phone"


Elliott looks back at the pod.


Elliott: "I don't have a choice... Apart from leaving it here for it to be just lost and forgotten"


Elliott tries to carry the animal, Eventually he made it back home without being spotted.


Elliott: "Whew, now where do I put this?"


He walks towards the garage door and tries to open it.


Elliott: "It's locked. Guess I'll take the longer way in"


He walks to the back of the house and opens the back door. Luckily his mother was upstairs and sleeping.


He made it to the garage and puts the strange looking animal down on the corner. Elliott turns on the light to see the animal a lot better


Elliott: "Huh, Bandages. Wonder what happened"


He looks outside the window to see its very dark outside now. So he decided to go to bed and continue tomorrow but before he leaves he covers the animal on a sheet of cloth so his mother won't find it.


Elliott: "Not like mom comes here often. Well, better safe than sorry I guess"


He heads back upstairs, hangs his bag and jacket, and finally goes to bed.


Elliott: "I've gotten myself into something but there's no turning back now."
