"You can't stay here." The voice was familiar, yeling out once more "The Empire will be all over this place soon, you need to leave!" The bartender! He lifted her up and pointed down the street "Find a place to hide, you can't stay here in the open. Someone will catch you and that'll be the end of it." He turned about and rushed back before Kalli could say a word, the doors locking and the lights turning off on the inside. She turned to look down the street, limping along as she bled from her wounds. The lights of the streets faded in and out as people made way to watch the wounded alien limp and stutter in her step. It was a pitiful sight.
Stormtroopers could be heard, their armor clattering, rushing down the streets or dropships flying overhead, the firefight's location covered in soldiers before a full ten mintues passed. She kept moving, gun on her back, her vision fading, anywhere to find some decent sleep. The people themselves slowly disappeared, the crowds moving away, fading from sight, the noises they made long gone. Soldiers too were disappearing, only stray animals chased each other through the ruins of crumbling apartment blocks. Grabbing ahold of a scissor gate at an apartment entrance, she pulled it open in the dark of night, the lights of the street being the only things providing her with some decent vision.
The gate slide open, the door behind it creaking as the handle turned, nothing but dust moved on the inside, the scutter of mice fell distant in the walls while old wallpaper remained torn and ruined. They were peeling off, with rotten wood behind each layer, inhabitated by who knows what while the small critters feasted on the insects that found home here. A insect. Thats what Kalli felt like, so minor and pointless, the best she got for risking her life was a warning and a finger pointing in one direction. What was the reason for all this pain on a first day?
How long has it even been? A day? A week? Mere minutes? She had just woken up at a fountain on her first minute in this universe, and now this moment felt like her last. It was never boring at least, and hopefully she'd find more interesting things to learn that wouldn't try to kill her. Limping through the halls, she clambered up the steps, from what she guessed she had climbed onto the fifth story before slamming open one of the doors. Finding a mattress, covered in stains and nearly torn apart, Kalli slid off the rifle's sling, the gun bouncing and hitting the wooden floor. She soon slammed onto the bed, and quickly fell asleep...
