Chapter 7

"A raccoon?" Angela said. Looking at furry animal that just broke into the elevator.

"Yes a raccoon. Have you not seen raccoon up close before?" said a voice. "Who said that?" Angela asked. The raccoon jumped down from the ceiling and looked at Angela. "I did human." said the raccoon. Angela just stared. 'A talking raccoon?' she thought… 'well this is strange town..'

"Who are you?" Angela asked. The raccoon had white fur with black and white striped tail, standing on its hind legs looking to be about 3/5 feet tall and it had red eyes.

"I'm Cosmos." the raccoon said. "Hello Cosmos I'm Angela." she said.

Angela then stood up and tried to open the door but it wouldn't move.

"Can you get me out of here?" Angela asked. Cosmos looked back at the small door she came in through. "Give me a sec.." the raccoon climbed back though the small door from which she had entered.

(Meanwhile back on the alien spaceship)

Emperor Xizzle was still resting in med bay when a minion had entered the room.

"Sir the team you asked for has departed to the humans town." it said looking at his injured leader worried. Xizzle looked up at the smaller alien and said.

"Good ….the faster the human gets here …the quicker we can stop this."

Xizzle said weakly. The other alien became more worried and began to wonder if the human could really help them.

"Sir, can I make you more comfortable?" the alien asked.

Xizzle looked up again and shook his head no. "I must rest now…." xizzle said and sent the alien away.

Xizzle laid there feeling weak and helpless… he hated this feeling. He began to think about Angela and wondered why she had taken pity on him. Then the aliens head began to hurt. At first he thought it was because of his injury's …but a vague memory came to him.

(Flashback)

A small girl was crying in the corner of a room…. A small alien wounded why the human child was crying… he tried to comfort the child by giving her a small bear toy that small kids would like but the child just became more scared and crawled under the bed.

The alien tried again and kneeled by the bed and slowly approached the girl again. This time she spoke asking him who he was he smiled softly and said.

The seen changed to the girl being a little older and she was happy and smiling hugging the green bear that her alien friend gave her. Then the alien walked in the room and the girl ran up to the alien hugging him. They were happy.

The dream changed again and the girl was in her teen years drawing a picture. Then she got up showed the alien her drawing. It was the two of them in a heart. The alien smiled and hugged the girl who blushed shyly looked down at her feet. The alien smiled grew bigger and kissed the girl on the cheek.

A loud knock had woken xizzle from his sleep.

Back at strange town

After Cosmos had gotten Angela out of the elevator Angela had bought Cosmos to her home in the hotel.

"So Cosmos how did you get out here?" Angela asked. "There isn't a forest out here for miles."

Cosmos looked down sadly, "It was a few years ago." the raccoon stared.

(Flashback)

Cosmos was a happy raccoon living with her parents. One day cosmos had come home from looking for berries and found her mother who was also albino had died at the hands of hunters.

"Mommy?" Cosmos cried. Then the hunters spotted cosmos and her father who was the color of a normal raccoon jumped in front of her. "Run! Don't look back!" he yelled as he jumped on the hunters trying to buy cosmos some time.

Cosmos ran for her life and heard gun shots going off from behind her. Tears slid down her face as she continued running. She began to hear the voices of her now dead parents speaking to her.

"Keep running!" her father shouted.

"Don't forget us …" her mother said. Cosmos kept running until she saw a building.

'Strange Town Hotel' the sign said. The tired animal decided that she would live there in the attic of the hotel where over the years she leaned how to speak and agusted to eating some of the human foods, and she saw Angelas car break down, and other events that led to Angela running a hotel.

Angela just stared. 'Wow …she has been though so much …' Angela thought.

Then her thoughts were interrupted by her cell phone buzzing. It was a text.

From Dusty: Aliens are back in town! Help!

Angela couldn't beleave what she just read. 'figers I couldn't trust him!' she thought angrily.

"What is it?" Cosmos asked.

Angela got up from her couch. "I have something I need to take care of. Will you be ok by yourself for a wile?" Angela asked.

Cosmos looked up sadly shaking her head no. She didn't want to be alone again with voices hunting her. Angela felt bad for thinking about leaving her alone.

"Okay you can come." Angela said. And cosmos followed her out.

Outside a small gourp of aliens stood waiting for Angela to step out.

When she did come outside she had her water gun ready faceing the aliens.

"Wait! Human Angela! We do not wish war!" the gray one spoke. Angela eyed him for a moment then lowered her gun.

"I'm listening." she said.

The gray one spoke again. "Empopor Xizzle has sent us to bring you back to our spacecraft. You made a deal with our leader yes?"

Angela looked at the group and looked down sadly. "Yes in the dessert. He agreed not to invad strange town while he recovered from his injurys."

The aliens nodded in agrement before the gray alien spoke again. "Then come with us."

Angela and Cosmos followed them out to the dessert were they found a spaceship hovering in the air waiting for them. "Wow." Angela and Cosmos said at the same time.

They were beamed up into the ship were the gray alien led them to the med bay and knocked on the door.

"Come in." a weak voice said.

When they entered the room. What Angela saw next was a very sad sight.

Laying on a metal bed wraped in a silver blanket was Xizzle looking weak, helpless, and a little broken.
