Since I haven't finished the chapter yet, I decided to post a short teaser to wet your appetites. Enjoy!
True to her word, Tau-re had taken Matt down to the galley, where an impressive spread of foods from all across the Earth was waiting. She explained that they had been collecting samples to make sure they were edible, and that he was welcome to whatever he liked. Matt, who was raised in an orphanage and had never seen so much food in one place, could only nod mutely before gorging himself.
Afterwards, Tau-re took him on an exhaustive tour of their ship, making sure to open every door they passed so Matt could peek inside. From the lab where he had first awoken, all the way down to the engine room (containing what Tau-re called a crystal drive), she showed him everything. Despite this show of trust, Matt was still unsure of the Allurians' intentions. Were they truly peaceful as they said, or was Earth merely the next larder for a pack of alien locusts?
"Ah, here we are." Matt nearly ran into Tau-re as she stopped in front of an unmarked door, which slid open at her touch. The room on the other side was pitch black. She stepped aside, gesturing for Matt to enter. The lights snapped on the moment his foot crossed the threshold, revealing a sparsely-decorated bedroom.
"What is this?" Matt asked, stepping into the room, Tau-re slipping in behind him.
"My quarters," She smiled as he spun around just in time to see the door seal itself behind the silver Allurian with a audible click.
