Shadow started up the wall of a building, and started to look around for something to hunt.
Before too long Shadow spotted some punk kid who was knocking everybody over while riding his state board. Shadow thought to himself "he will make for a good host or kill" just as Shadow descended down upon his prey, he heard a noise.
Sirens were coming from in front of the odd building. Shadow went to check it out.
Some old, human lady was being loaded into an ambulance.
"That horrible long tail!" The old woman on the gurney yelled. Shadow looked at his tail confused.
Horrible? Yes it was quite intimidating looking, but horrible?
The town police were asking questions like "Can you describe what you seen?" A man frantically yelled. "It was a DEMON I tell you! Long spiked tail, huge teeth! It was scary as hell itself!" the man concluded.
Shadow wondered: what was a demon, and what was hell. The cops told them what they seen was a 'Xenomorph'. Then left.
"Well that was scary" the reverend said then went back into the building to lock up, than left in his car. Shadow quickly went inside the now empty building.
Shadow got inside the way he did the first time. This time he went down to the floor making a soft thud.
"Such a nice feeling in here. I feel at peace, I feel happy I feel…safe." Shadow thought as he looked around this large place. "This human is special in some way, he has his face everywhere." Shadow said thinking out loud.
Suddenly Shadow heard the door open.
Quickly going for the ceiling and out of sight. The reverend walked right under Shadow and did not even notice.
"Don't you hate it when you forget something" the reverend said to himself
"Maybe this human can give me answers." Shadow thought as he quietly jumped to the floor.
The reverend turned around to see the 'demon' standing there. Unable to react he just froze in fear as the thing slowly walked up to him.
"That's odd. Why doesn't he run or scream?" Shadow thought to himself
"H-h-hello" the reverend started terrified
Shadow tipped his head at this.
The reverend now backing up from fear "Why are you here?" he asked
Shadow pointed 1 of his long claws at a picture of Jesus.
"Jesus Christ." The human answered looking confused "you want to know more about him?" the reverend asked starting to calm down.
Shadow wasn't about to throw away a chance to learn about this place so he nodded.
"I don't believe it! This thing understands me." The reverend thought very excited. Then began to tell the story of Jesus.
Several hours went by. Both the reverend and Shadow moved from the center of the church, to one of the church pews. Shadow was now starting to grasp this, son of God.
Suddenly the reverend's cell rang which scared Shadow. Shadow got back in a defensive stance. The reverend quickly took the cell out of his pocket and showed it to shadow. Than answered it. "Hi honey."
Shadow was now perplexed. Who was he talking to? He spun around to see the room, no one else was here. At that he heard a voice come from the thing in reverends hand "I was getting worried about you. Are you ok?" Shadow heard the voice say.
"No, I'm fine. I'm just at the church. I'll be home soon…I think." Reverend said to this odd little box.
Once again the box spoke "ok. Don't be out too late. I love you."
"I love you too, bye honey" said reverend than closed the lid on the device, than slid it back in his pocket.
"I got to get home… do you have a name?" reverend asked Shadow.
Quickly thinking on how to tell him what my names was sense he lacked the ability to speak. Quickly he pointed to his shadow.
"You're…Shadow" the human figured out quickly.
Shadow nodded.
"I'm Slade, Rev. Slade nice to meet you, Shadow."
Shadow did not want to let Rev. Slade leave just yet, but felt tired, so he decided to let him go
Shadow bowed his head and turned for the open ventilation shaft.
30 minutes later Shadow thought of something on the way back to the hive. How did he understand the human? How did he know how to nod & point? There was one other thing. He was going back to the hive with nothing. How was he going to explain what he was doing all night?
Rev. Slade. I don't know how I came up with that I think I heard the name in a movie once. Well Shadow met a new friend. Please review. Ideas are welcome.
