LUCAS’S P.O.V
A lot has just happened in the last 5 minutes.
1, Michael woke up. 2, The wolf finally decided to come back downstairs, and promptly fainted.
When the wolf fainted, Vita hopped off the kitchen counter a d went to check if we'd just killed the thing.
Vita kneeled beside Winter and put her finger on the wolf's wrist, “These people spook easily, don't you think?” She said, checking for a pulse.
Winter's eyes suddenly shot open. “OI, GET OFF ME!” She yelled, surprising Vita.
“I just wanted to make sure you are oka-” Vita said.
“I'm fine!” Winter said, lifting herself into a sitting position. “And I was stupid enough to think you guys weren't real..”
“Is everything okay over there?” Asked Michael. He didn't have a very good view of what was happening since he was stuck lying down on top of the counter.
“It's under control,” Avera said.
Winter tries to stand up again but almost fell back over while doing so.
“Careful,” Vita said to her, offering her hand to help.
“Just- Stay away from me” Winter said, bracing the wall to stand up. “Wasn't there.. 5 of you guys?” She said,
“There is, but Garrett is outside. Right now he is having the time of his life looking at all the different plants.” Vita said, pointing towards the kitchen door.
“..looking at the different plants?” Winter said in confusion.
“He's a Biologist, plants are his thing.” Avera said.
“A Biologist?” Winter asked.
“Do you not know what a Biologist is? You guys are less advanced then I thought.” Avera said.
“I know what a Biologist is, I'm not stupid!” Winter said back to Avera.
“Well you were sure starting to sound retar-” Avera said before getting cut off by Michael.
“HEY! Knock it off! I'd be dead if it wasn't for this house, show some respect will you?” Michael shouted at Avera.
“Thank you,” Winter said, “at least he understands.”
Avera let out a sigh and looked at the wolf. “Look, we don't want to be here. And we don't even know how we got here.” Said avera. “So how about we take Michael's advice and cooperate?”
Winter gave us a hesitant look. Her tail swished back and forth, and her eyes darted between the four of us in the kitchen.
“Alright..” Winter said quietly.
“Really?” I said, “Thank you-”
“Its not everyday you get the chance to help aliens..” Winter said, “I might as well take this opportunity.”
Avera let out a sigh of relief. With Winter on our side, she was one less thing to worry about.
“However… there is one thing I must do first. I've got a friend I can call, he might be able to help you guys.”
“Woah woah woah,” Avera said, “We can't be letting anyone else know about our presence here.”
“Well my friend stands a chance helping, he works for Nasa.” said Winter.
“What's Nasa? Vita asked.
“Sounds like a food-” said Michael, chiming in.
“Oh right, you don't know what that is… It's a space Agency funded by my government. Do you guys have something similar to that?” Winter said.
