    The spaceshipnded carefully.


    A tiny cloud of wind and dirt bloomed as it settled on the ground.


    The door of the spaceship opened slowly.


    "Everyone should file out." The voice from the pilot area said again.


    I stood up from my seat with my bag.


    I opened the cloth bag the human leaders provided.


    There was a small knife. The knife had a worn leather sheath keeping its metal de hidden from view.


    I tucked the knife into the waistband of my underwear. I don''t know what can happen, I have to keep my cards as hidden as possible.


    The walkie-talkie was too big so I put it into my small bag. I wasn''t going to pass any tangible information yet so it wasn''t needed right now.


    There was some dry rations in the bag too. I didn''t touch those.


    I came out of the spaceship.


    I was thest to go out because of my preparations.


    A strange man came after me.


    His eyes red at me with intense displeasure.


    He should be the man that had been driving the spaceship.


    He must be upset that I came outst.


    Since he didn''t address the matter, I kept my mouth shut too.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "Please, disperse. After getting enough information, the higher-ups would give us the go-ahead to leave this ce. When that timees, a message would be sent to your walkie-talkies and we would all gather at the ce the spaceship is." The man instructed, "My name is Jimmy and I am the person driving the spaceship."


    "Are we leaving the spaceship here? Won''t it be very noticeable to those aliens?" A woman from the civilian group asked.


    "I am not part of the exploration team. I am not going to gather information. I will drive this spaceship to a safe ce after you leave." Jimmy exined.


    His words made sense.


    He was the one that would bring us out of this strange. He has to be safe and sound.


    Otherwise, we would be doomed.


    I don''t have any driving skills and I don''t know if the other exploration team members had the skill too.


    "That is all I have to say." Jimmy said.


    A huge ballnded on the spaceship the moment thest word dropped from his lips.


    The ball was so heavy. It deformed the spaceship immediately itnded on it.


    More balls wereunched from somewhere unknown.


    The balls were the size of cannonballs.


    Theynded on the spaceship.


    Everybody scattered and dashed in random directions.


    Sweat beaded on my forehead and nose as I ran in a zigzag line.


    After getting far away from the spaceship, I stopped and nced at the ce we gathered previously.


    Within a few minutes, the beautiful spaceship that brought us to the was turned into unusable scraps.


    I spotted Jimmy near me.


    Nobody had truly gone very far.


    A chuckle rang out.


    Five people came to the ce the spaceship stood.


    One of them scanned the whole area around them.


    The eyes of this man, or alien, collided with mine.


    His green eyes twinkled.


    Aliens had various features that distinguished them from humans.


    Some of they have the basic features humans have with some differences. Among the group of five that attacked our spaceship, one of them had a writing dreadlock while the rest had normal hair. All of them had pointy ears.


    One had white skin that was simr to human''s skin color. Another male alien had a tinge of green mixed into his body color.


    "Wow, a wee surprise." The one at the lead said.


    Thenguage was strange and formal somehow.


    Still, I could understand it.


    It was like an upgraded version of the Englishnguage.

    Although I could understand thenguage, I don''t know if I would be able to read a written form of thenguage.


    "Who are you?" A male civilian with red hair asked carefully.


    "We are the inhabitants of this ce, obviously." The leader of the group of aliens replied.


    His smile reminded me of a cunning fix.


    It didn''t give me a good feeling.


    If they could understand the humannguage, it is very likely that they heard everything Jimmy said.


    We are doomed.


    We were exposed before we could do anything.


    These people are smart.


    Even if it was not sensitive information, they would be able to derive something from Jimmy''s words.


    I was panicking but I kept my face expressionless.


    I looked at the aliens with wariness.


    These aliens were wearing proper clothes and they looked okay.


    I could not see the thing thatunched the balls on our spaceship.


    My mind strayed to the man that had been visiting my dreamstely.


    Do these people have magic?


    My face paled.


    "They look like us but with weaker bodies. I think they are an exotic species. It seemed they came from outer space." One of the aliens said to the leader.


    The leader nced at the ruined spaceship with a thoughtful look.


    I didn''t run.


    The people that can destroy a spaceship that was made with great materials can bash my head in anytime.


    I wasn''t about to gamble on my life.


    Where there is life, there is hope.


    "Why did you destroy our ride?" Another civilian woman asked bravely.


    The three military members didn''t speak.


    They were observing these aliens with the same wariness I had.


    They are smart.


    "We can''t let you leave, my sweeties." The leader chuckled again, "You are going to bring us a lot of money."


    "Wow, Tekita. You think far ahead. Since the day the King banned the very of our people, we have been forced to do honest jobs. These group would solve all our problems." The male alien that addressed the leader previously said. "Yeah. Some of my old buyers had been disturbing me. These sweethearts came at the right time." Tekita said softly.


    From his demeanor, no one would suspect that this honest looking alien was a ve trader.


    I took a deep breath and exhaled.


    I must n every move I do carefully.


    I don''t want to be a ve but my hands are tied. Right now, I don''t have any choice but to roll with the things life gave me.


    I am very happy that I kept my knife in the waistband of my underwear. I am also very thankful that I did all my preparations in the spaceship.


    These aliens shouldn''t know what I was hiding.


    Footsteps heading away from us sounded.


    The man with writhing locks of hair didn''t even nce at the escapee.


    His hair shot out.


    The sound of an heavy object falling pierced into my ears.


    The hair tightened and began dragging the escapee back to the area around the spaceship.


    The escapee was a woman.


    I was right.


    We can not escape these people.


    Escape would have toeter.


    "There is no need to waste your stamina by running. You can''t escape us." Tekita said, "The sooner you ept your position, the better you will be treated."


    He said his words with a smile.


    The smile made me shiver.


    I hope am opportunity to make my escape urs soon.
