"Are you guys sure about this?" Kassidy asked.
"Yeah I want to know what that was," Jake said.
"Come on don't be baby," Brady said.
"Yeah baby girl," Nathan said.
Kassidy huffed, her blonde bangs shuffled with her chest. Her hazel green eyes kind and soft. She was athletic muscular. She wore a purple shirt and black basketball shorts. Her blonde hair in a fishtail braid. She was beautiful, but different. She wasn't like any other girl her age. She had been taking self-defense, gun training and every sport she could do at a time.
Her brothers were the same way. Brady was the oldest, he was seventeen and stood at 6'2, Nathan was the second oldest he was sixteen and stood at 6ft and Kassidy was the youngest she was fifteen and stood at 5'9. Jake stood at 6'1 and was sixteen, unlike the three siblings her had brown hair and brown eyes, he was their cousin.
"Have you watched horror movies, the people who are most curious about the flash in the dark forest die first," Kassidy said.
They were staying at Jacob's father's mansion. The siblings parents had died in a car crash before the school year started. Their uncle was often gone on business trips, and when he was there he just spent it up in his study. For the next month he was in Europe.
"Then you can stay in the dark house alone," Brady said.
"Fine," Kassidy said. "Let's go."
Everyone got out their IPhones and turned on the flashlight and they ventured into the dark forest. Kassidy was in the back of the pack, when she spotted something, that the boys overlooked. She saw something faintly glowing in the distance.
"Guys," Kassidy said. "This way."
The boys turned and followed her to where a crater was.
"What happened here?" Brady asked.
"Look at that," Nathan said.
Nathan pointed his flashlight in the middle of the crater and they saw some sort of creature in the middle. It was massive and wore silver armor. Kassidy noticed that the creature was oozing orang blood.
"It's hurt," she said.
"Kassidy don't go down there, we don't what it is!" Brady called.
Kassidy ignored her brother and went to the creature. As she got closer she realized just how massive it really was. It stood at least 6'5 and was extremely muscular. She rolled it on its back and was stunned by the face. Its forehead had grey plating and a little on its chin. Its skin was a shade of orange. She went to touch its face, when a large three fingered hand grabbed her wrist. Its blue eyes shot open.
"Who are you, where am I?" it asked, it's voice deep and serious.
"My name's Kassidy Schmidt, you're in Mackay, Idaho," Kassidy answered.
"What planet?" Grunt asked.
"Earth," Kassidy answered.
"What's the time?" he asked.
"3:22 a.m. July 10, 2055," Kassidy answered.
"You're lying it's 2186 for humans," he answered.
"No, I'm not lying I swear, look at my phone," Kassidy said giving him her phone.
It looked down at the phone puzzled.
"Let me see your Omni-Tool," it said.
"What's an Omni-Tool?" Kassidy asked.
His eyes widened, she was telling the truth. It was 2055 and he was on Earth.
"What's your name?" Kassidy asked. "Are you a boy or a girl? What are you?"
"My name is Urdnot Grunt, I am a male Krogan," he answered.
"Do you know how you got here?" she asked.
"I…I can't remember…only a flash of blue," Grunt said.
His thoughts were interrupted by a rock hitting his forehead. He looked at three human boys standing at the top of the crater.
"Let my little sister go!" Brady yelled.
"Hold on Kassidy!" Nathan said.
They came storming down the hill and Grunt growled.
"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get," Grunt said.
"No Urdnot Grunt, please don't hurt them," Kassidy said.
"Why not?" Grunt asked.
"They're just protecting me, they don't mean any harm," Kassidy said.
Grunt then let her wrist go, and Kassidy turned.
"Nate, Brady it's alright," she said. "He's not hurting me."
"He?" Brady asked.
"Brady, Nathan, I'd like you to meet Urdnot Grunt, he's a male Krogan," Kassidy said. "We have to help him."
"I don't need your help," Grunt said.
"Urdnot Grunt, you are from the future and another planet, I suggest you let a human from this time help you," Kassidy said sternly.
Grunt backed down, she was right.
"Now, let's get you back to the house, and get you patched up," Kassidy said.
"You can't be serious," Nathan said. "We can't bring him back to the mansion."
"I'm bringing him back, with or without your permission," Kassidy said.
"He's not a pet," Brady said. "He's a dangerous being."
"I can handle dangerous," Kassidy said.
"Kassidy taking care of him won't bring them back," Brady said.
"I know, but we can't leave him," Kassidy said. "Come on Urdnot Grunt."
Grunt got up and felt the pain in his side, but ignored it for the sake of his image. Kassidy brought him to the mansion and smiled that the power was back on. She brought him into the kitchen, and sat him down in a stool. She saw that he was bleeding through his armor.
"Can you take your armor off?" Kassidy asked.
"I'm fine, I'll take care of it," Grunt said.
Kassidy huffed, she didn't want to fight with the Krogan. She then went up the stairs to her large room and went into her closet and grabbed a pillow and blanket. She came back down the stairs and prepared the fold out couch.
"You'll sleep here for now," Kassidy said. "Food's in the fridge, don't eat all of it."
Kassidy then went back up the stairs to her own room. She changed into some pjs and went to bed.
