My limp wasn't the worst of the running away from a possible threat. The worst of it was knowing that whatever was chasing me was toying with me because I knew that I had slowed down a lot. The pain had taken the worse type of turn and my slight blood loss from the bad gashes were causing me to be slightly hazy.

"Cmon almost there.....almost...there," I whispered to myself when my cabin came into view darkness staring to fall over my eyes.

I fought desperately with the darkness trying to at least make it to the door. By now the pain in my ankle had shot up my whole leg making even standing hard. I finally couldn't take the pain and I collapsed at the open door of my cabin a series of growls and clicks surrounding me. I could see a strange helmet with a T shaped marking on the top staring down at me before everything went dark.

I awoke to the sound of clicking and growling around me. My eyes slowly peeled open to see a blurry helmet of sorts. My head was pounding with a pain that matched to the amount of pain that you would get if you were hit with a moving mobile. I think that's what they are called or were they called cars? I'm not sure anymore. All I know is that the pain was unbearable!

"What in the-," I wasn't able to finish my sentence as I felt something hit my leg.

I yelped in surprise as I forced myself up to see some sort of vile in my leg. My eyes widened in fear when the vile's contents entered my body system. I tried to grab at the vile with my free hand but I was gently, but forcefully pushed back down.

"Easy human, you're injured the medicine should heal your leg."

I turned my head to the voice to see what I had fought alongside with in the forest. The humanoid creature had a bandage around its wound. One that I recognized as my bandage. This was the humanoid I had helped! I stared at the humanoid noting that his English, he was a he by a his voice and figure, was slightly broken and clearly not his first language. I steadied my breathing as I stared at him.

"Who are you," I asked not really caring what he was considering that he was clearly alien.

"My name is Chopper. And you?"
