CallMeSencei
There was no reason to stay in that torturous place, so they didn't, the flew they soared and left, leaving anyone they presumed dead behind...but they didn't check every crevice.
Ray hatches confused and utterly alone, until she finds another egg that soon becomes her too priority in a world where proof of aliens truly comes to life.
For a moment all seems calm, rich and promising, but once push comes to shove, nature can show how truly cruel it can be...even to a child.
Despite her not being fully aware, Ray remains completely skeptical of the odd human like beings that saved them from another race.
But she won't be hasty, and won't mess this up, not for her, her Elise.
