It had taken Tania to prepare a good solid day for her visit to District 10, going to the library and finding a map of the city. She scanned for sewage lines connecting to District 10 and found one. She couldn't go in through the front gate because it was guarded to keep humans out, and aliens in, so it wasn't really a visit; more like trespass into District 10.
Also, her experience and what she has learned when she used to work for MNU finally paid off. She had learned how to understand the aliens and the different clicks and chirps they would make when communicating with people, and therefore; Tania could communicate with the aliens without a sweat. However, she had to keep herself in the shadows as soon as she enters the alien territory. The aliens aren't very fond of humans, because of what MNU had done in the past, and Tania was sure that she would get into trouble with them if she happened to bump into the aggressive ones.
She had already gone in the sewer tunnel and was making her way towards District 10 with a map and flashlight in hand. She didn't bring much for her trip, except her long coat and wallet.
A squeak and her head snapped to the side, flashlight pointing at the direction of the sound; just a mouse. Tania sighed in relief and looked to a nearby rusty yellow ladder. She looked at her map and then up, where the exit lay, uncovered. Putting her equipment back in her pockets, she buttoned up her long coat and grabbed the ladder. She checked if it was stable, before climbing her way up and poking her head out of the sewer hole. It was evening already, and she didn't spot any aliens on sight, only small made-up shacks and junk here and there; the typical slum.
Slowly, and carefully, Tania made her way out of the hole, brushing herself off and reaching for her flashlight inside her pocket.
Suddenly, a figure in the shadows came out from behind her, and grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream but her cry for help was muffled with an unusual hand and the next thing she knew the world was spinning and she came to a stop, groaning from the pain in her side. She had fallen into a dried up ditch. Tania reached for something to grab on, anything to help her up, but the stranger that had thrown her into the ditch in the first place had come back, and she was being heaved up by her neck. She choked out, tears in the corner of her eyes as she tried to breath, and then she cried out when she hit the dirt wall. Everything was blur, but then the hand's grip around her neck lightened and her vision became clear.
"Hmm, I've never seen a human such as yourself..." it was an alien, stroking her face with a claw. She gulped. This is what she was afraid of. What would happened, and it did.
"P-please, I'm looking for my husband--" she clawed at the alien's arm when his grip tightened again. She almost froze when she saw his pale blue eyes, turned into slits and staring at her. Then, ever so slowly, she felt a smile creep on his face. She struggled when he reached for her long coat.
"How's about I play with you first, and then we'll look for your husband."
Shocked, disgusted and in the verge of tears, Tania used all her strength to move in and knee the alien's groin. It wasn't before she started cussing that the creature that tears began to fall from her eyes.
"I didn't ask for your help, you sick bastard!" she cried, and made a run for it, but the alien was up again and more mad then ever gaining on her.
She pulled out her flashlight and flicked it on, running as fast as she could into the darkness. She tried to follow the trail but only ended up in a dump yard, and the alien was there again, cornering her.
"Please, leave me alone!" she cried desperately, but he only moved in closer; the space between them getting smaller.
He raised a claw, and she closed her eyes and waited for the end, but it never came. Tania slowly opened her eyes, and snapped them open when she saw the alien that had attacked her lying on the ground in an unmoving heap; atennas twitching; he was unconcious.
"We have to go before he wakes up!" another alien hand grabbed her arm. Tania looked to her savoir and saw that the creature had a cloak; she was unable to see it's face. Before she could thank the alien, or even ask for it's name they were running again, and it pulled her into a shack.
Her flashlight pointed to a desk, and on it, was a vase with aluminum flowers.
A weird chapter, but like I said I don't know where this is going, and I'm sorry that the characters are OOC; only once did I see the film. Oh! And that alien that tried to harass poor Tania? He'll back, yes he will.
