Alien: Hunted

Chapter 4

The air shoots through the airlock, pulling everything into the deep vacuum of space. I grab on to the edge of the air lock as the air in the ship gets torn away from the insides. Harper grabs my waist as he too gets swept off his feet by the air. I make an attempt to climb further into the ship, but only to loose my grip and be pulled back farther.

I start to feel light headed as the air in my lungs slowly turns to carbon dioxide, I attempt at a breath of air, but get nothing. Suddenly a body flies through the halls and smacks into the wall just barley missing the airlock and remaining in the ship. Then a second body comes hurtling down at us, but this time it wasn't a human figure.

The thing got closer and closer thrashing around trying to get a grip on something. Then it's head smashes into the top if the air locks door and gets caught there. I focus on making a second attempt to climb back into the ship, and this time I am successful and manage to climb all the way inside the ship. I pull Harper in with me and pull the emergency lever slamming the doors shut.

I look back up to see if the monster was still there, but it had vanished. As the doors shut a small 8 gauge shotgun spins across the floor and smacks into the door letting off a round into the opposite direction of where I stand.

I walk over and retrieve the firearm. When I pick it up I cock it back loading a fresh round in the chamber. Harper walks up behind me, I turn around, "We're... We're trapped" I say looking at the floor, "Those things they... They killed Mathew... Maybe even the others." I look up at Harper. Then I hear a beeping noise.

I look at my waist and see that the motion track is still there and fully intact. I take it off and hold it up, there is 3 dots and one is right on top of Harper. I look up at Harper, a thick, clear liquid drips from the ceiling. We both look up seeing a dark skeletal figure. I start to raise my shotgun, when it lunges down at us. We both jump back just in time as it smashes into the floor. I raise my shotgun again and fire, hitting it in the back, the green blood goes every where, some landing on Harpers left arm.

Harper let's out a bloodcurdling scream. The monster walks towards me now. I shoot at it again and again, when finally it drops into a puddle of its own blood. I approach the body smoke rising from the floor. Then the body falls through the floor I jump back startled. Then I look back at Harper, whom has fainted on the floor, but when I approach him I see why.
