There wasn't a sense of rotation, no movement, not a singular twitch. Frozen on the insect littered mattress Kalli continued to slowly awaken. Every muslce in her body ached, and even worse were her wounds, burning like as if they had been stabbed by a ray of sunlight. With a hand on the mattress, she pushed herself up, feeling the old, torn cover of the bed once more as she fell instantly. Trying once more, she got to her feet, groaning as the wounds would burned more and more with every waking nerve. The night had remained on Tier 4, to no surprise the room itself seemed pitch black, the rifle being the only thing in the room that wasn't dried up and old. Well, along with Kalli, though she certainly felt dried up and old.
Grabbing ahold of the rifle while staggering in step, she moved to the door of the abandoned apartment building, walking through the hall with a creak every step of the way. The old apartment was certainly creepy, no light, scuttering from insects and small rats, blocked off doorways. The metal bars prevented a door from being open on the outside, or inside. Not wishing to get a feeling of dread, Kalli quickly moved down the steps and out the door, back into the activity of the night. A few individuals were in the streets, seeming to be homeless, dealers, or some sort of social outcasts. Little seemed to belong to the crowds elsewhere, the clothing of those whom hid on this street were tattered and certainly unorganized. And Kalli was too, bandages wrapped up around her, messy clothing and feathers, a lack of proper bathing in a long time...
Ignoring her condition, Kalli took a step down the apartment's steps, before hearing a voice. "You, alien lady, message." A boy no more than sixteen walked on up, dressed in some mixture of black, orange and red, covering his face in a cowl-like hood and a scarf blocking his face nose down. He handed out a small paper, Kalli hesitantly grabbed it, looking at the boy before looking down at the paper. The words were written in some form of thick, black ink, scribbled with a singular mistake in grammar. Its words, as she interpreted, were "You killed five of us We wont let you die like them, they were given mercy, we have much more in store for a prime like you. Our eyes and ears are everywhere."
"How did you-?" Kalli asked, cuttering herself off as she noticed the boy was nowhere to be seen. She looked down the street, left and right, then proceeded to crumble up the note and toss it away. Muttering curses under her breath, she began to move again, seeking somewhere crowded, somewhere with less holes. Someplace safe.
