Incapable of escaping, she closed her eyes and held her breath as she heard the giant approach her.

When the footsteps stopped, she opened an eye to see huge feet in a suit that didn't belong to anything ever made on Earth. She slowly looked up until her eyes met his. With still the same hate and rage he had in his eyes before, he stared back down on her. He then lashed out and grabbed her suit by the chest, lifting her up. She screamed, he didn't seem to care. She hung helpless in the air for a few seconds until the Engineer abruptly turned around, dragging her through the room before he threw her on the ground in front of the couch. He then sat down on the couch, not once looking away from her. She sat up, her back against the table and her arms wrapped around her knees, scared to whatever would come next.

But nothing happened next. Minutes went by and he didn't move. As he sat there perfectly still and with a pale skin, he looked more like a beautiful statue - a statue with eyes filled with anger and disgust, that is.

After a while she slowly loosened her tight grip around her knees and dared to relax a little bit. He still kept his eyes on her but didn't flinch. She then slowly moved her head to look around the ship. Books and glass were shattered on the ground, some lights were flickering. She then looked at the room where the giant octopus-like creature was in before, and noticed the door was open... But there was no sign of the monster.

'He must have gotten rid of it.' she assumed. She hoped he would leave again soon so she could contact doctor Shaw and David again, but by the way the Engineer was monitoring her every move she doubted he would go any time soon.

After what seemed forever she got sore from sitting on the ground. The Engineer still hadn't moved. Up until now she hadn't noticed how hungry she was. She didn't know exactly how long she had been in stasis for, but she did know she had gone too long without food. No doubt there would be food in the small kitchen behind the couch. She was unsure what to do - did he understand her language? Would he understand if she asked for food? If she stood up slowly and walked towards the kitchen, would he let her? She decided it was probably best to ask first. She scraped her throat but nearly choked when she saw the look on his face changing from angry to blind rage as he leaned a bit forward- she could see him struggling holding himself back from hurting, no, killing her... She immediately swallowed her words and sat still just staring at him until he seemed to have calmed down a bit.

'No food then,' she thought as her stomach growled. She looked around and grabbed one of the books on the ground - she figured if she was going to sit here for a while she might as well entertain herself a little bit. She screamed when the book got hit out of her hands - mostly because she didn't see it coming than that out of pain. As quick as lightning the Engineer got down from the couch, sat in front of her on one knee and brought his face close to hers again. Like an angry wolf he showed his teeth, and again she could see him struggle to hold back from ripping her head off.

'David was right,' she then thought, 'he really wants to kill me and he would have done so if he could, but he will not. Not yet. Besides guarding me, he can not hurt me.' With this thought in her head, she found the courage to do what she did next - if she was going to die soon, she had nothing to lose anyway.

She pushed her face back in to his face until their foreheads touched each other. She looked as angry as she could and even though he must have been at least ten times stronger than her, he backed off. He stood up, so she stood up quickly as well. She realized again how small she was compared to him, but didn't let her feeling of vulnerability show.

'I'm going to eat now.' she said trying to make her voice sound as secure as possible, and pointed towards the kitchen. He didn't follow her finger to see where she was pointing. She did notice his furious look was gone - it had been replaced with his normal amount of anger and a lot more frustration. She realized it must be incredibly annoying for him to be stuck with a creature his race seemed to hate so much. Especially if that creature was as small and as easy to kill as her - it's like forcing a cat to live with a mouse.

She took a step towards the kitchen when he grabbed her shoulder - he sure was quick for someone his size. His hand pinched her shoulder but even though it did hurt, she didn't flinch. She pointed towards the kitchen again. 'Eat,' she said, but she noticed it was in vain. He either didn't understand her, or didn't want to understand her. 'Maybe he likes to torture me... Or maybe he doesn't want to lose me out of sight, afraid he won't get the chance to see me meeting my end.' She sighed - how could someone she never met before hate her so much? What had the human race ever done wrong to his race?

She figured the only way to do anything around here was if he could watch her every move. 'Follow me.' she said with a bit of doubt in her voice. As suspected, he didn't move. She then slowly put her hand on the hand he had pinched around her shoulder. As if her hand was on fire, he let her go immediately. She reached out for his hand again, gently pulling it as she stepped towards the kitchen. 'It's a miracle!' she thought as he followed her. She nearly wanted to smile if the rest of this situation wasn't so grim.

In the kitchen she let go of his hand. She didn't need to look in to his eyes to know they were most likely filled with the same disgust and anger as usual. She searched through the kitchen until she found something she liked and started preparing it. Food for space travel was incredibly easy to make and never really tasty, but at this moment she would eat anything. As she was gobbling down what looked like jelly pudding and felth her strength coming back, she forgot for a moment the Engineer was standing right behind her, all the time not having moved a muscle and not letting her out of sight. She doubted for a second before thinking 'why not', turned around and held up the place with food for him asking: 'want some?'. The normal anger and disgust in his eyes now seemed to have made room for insult - surprised by this change of look she didn't notice he lifted his hand and knocked the plate on the bottom. She yelped as the food covered her. In disbelief of what just happened she looked up. For a brief second she thought he was smirking, but it was hard to see anything with her face covered in this jelly substance. For a moment she forgot she was being guarded, only feeling disgust as the jelly poured down her suit, and she automatically made her way to one of the rooms she had spotted as a bathroom before. When she turned around to close the door she quickly remembered her grim situation as the Engineer was blocking the doorway...
