It is August of 2016 and Brandon has finished setting up his apartment to look nice and organized "Alright i think i'm good, Everything looks to be in the right spot, Couch and Tv are in the living room, Food and microwave are in the kitchen, My Bedroom looks setup and clean….for now, And most importantly it looks like the Bathroom is actually presentable" Brandon was proud of his work that only took him about 6 days to finally do "Well i have really just spent my whole time here just in the apartment, I wonder what there is to do around here, Probably not to much but it never hurts to look even if it is a small town". Brandon decided to go to the gas station right by his apartment to get some information. Brandon then got to the gas station to open the door and be greeted by a worker
"Hello there young man" The older gentleman had said with a smile
"Hey there" Brandon said smiling back
"You looking for something young man" The man said looking over at him
"Actually yes i am, I just moved here for college and i was just wondering what there was to do around here" Brandon said walking up to the counter
"Hmmm well let me think here" The man said rubbing his chin "Well we have the rec center in the middle of town, you can swim work out and play basketball in the gym, There's also of the arcade but that's really only for the younger kids, But one place that i would recommend are the nature trails down by willow creek" The man said back to Brandon
"Nature trails huh? tell me more and why would you say that's the best" Brandon said raising an eyebrow
"Its peaceful, quiet, beautiful, plus there are lots of different trails taking you to all different hills, ponds, valleys, caves, and much more"
"Sounds great" Brandon said to the man with an energetic smile "I think i might go today while the sun's still up"
"Well good i'm glad you like the idea and will that be it or do you wanna get something" The man said to Brandon
"Hmm gimme 2 bags or beef jerky to take on the trail with me"
"You got it young man" The man said grabbing the bags to scan
Brandon then payed for the jerky and said thank you to the man and had left the gas station. He walked back to his apartment and changed out of his usual jeans and sweatshirt into a short sleeve shirt and shorts. He then hopped in his car and punched the directions to willow creek on his gps. While driving he looked around the town and even drove past his college to check it out again. "There she is Brandon, the next four years of your life are right there, Your along way from Colorado buddy" Brandon said smirking to himself.
He then got to willow creek and he parked his car by the gavel trail and he grabbed his bags of jerky and he began to walk on the trail. After about 20 minutes of walking deeper into the forest he found a flat patch of grass and he decided to lay down and to take a break. "Wow that guy was right this is really peaceful" He continued to eat the last pieces of jerky as he layed down until he saw something moving through the sky. "Huh must be a weird jet or something" the object then started falling at a fast speed down towards his location "Oh shit that's no jet!" He said as he began to run away from the patch of grass and he hid down in a dry creek bed. The object then crashed about 30 yards away "So much for being freaking peaceful" Brandon then peeked up and could see a small crater with smoke around it. "Oh my god is that… a meteor?" He said looking more at the strange object "Jeez if i brought some of this in on the first day of science class i would become the teachers favorite in an instint". Brandon had said grinning to himself , He then decided to go check it out.
He took very causes steps as he moved towards the object but the closer he got the more suspicious he got as well. "Pretty weird shaped meteor... it actually looks kinda like a pod or something…..Nah that's stupid it couldn't be" As he said that a door had opened letting out smoke "Or not!" Brandon then hid again behind a rock hopping whatever is in there didn't see him. "Ahhh crap what do i do, Do i run or investigate" He said to himself "Ahh screw it" He said coming out from hiding " Hello there visitor i am Brandon of earth and i come in peace, please do not rip out my intestines and or probe me" He then got closer as the smoke cleared from inside to reveal the person inside was unconscious "Oh thank god it's not awake, But that could also mean that it's dead" Brandon then slid down into the crater and walked closer to the person inside, He looked at the color and weird hair and the green stone on the person's head but from what he could tell by some of the other features that it was a likely female "Whatever alien you are you are sure a weird one, But then again I have never seen a another being from a different planet". He then put his ear to her chest to try and hear a heartbeat "she's breathing… i think so she must be alive" Brandon had then heard some people in the distance
"Hey What's going on? we heard a crash in the distance" The man yelled
"Uh Nothing I'm fine it was just a big broken branch falling, nothing to be worried about" Brandon yelled back
"Sure didn't sound like it" They yelled back
"Well it was just a branch nothing to investigate over here so you can go" Brandon said getting a little annoyed
"Well we're going to go get help anyway just to make sure" He heard the man yell
"Uh that won't be neces...sary" He said as the people ran off
He then looked over at the girl again "Oh shit shit what do i do, what do i do, I can't leave her here but i can't just take her back either" He thought to himself about what to do. "God i might be the most stupid person in the world by doing this" He then tried to lift her up "Okay how heavy can she be?" as he lifted her the weight caught him off guard "Apparently quite heavy, good thing for high school football I guess" he said putting her over the crater as he climbed up. He then put her over his shoulder and began to run. He ran off trail trying to not get spotted by someone "God how much further is it, anymore of this and my back is going to give out from her". He ran for about another 10 minutes stopping the least he could so he wouldn't be caught. "God finally" he said as he got to his car. He then laid her down in the back seat and covered her in a blanket. "God damn it Brandon Hufford you have just gotten into some deep shit".
