The cabin in which Dan lived was full of documents, surveillance equipment, and weapons.
I wasn't sure if he was a true friend that would help me or if I was meeting my fate and just didn't know it.
Dan sat at the kitchen table, "Jonathan, if I'm going to be able to help you, I need to know things."
Fearing I had no options, "I will tell you whatever you want to know but I have a mission to accomplish."
Dan stroked his hairy chin, "What is the mission, Jonathan?"
My body began to shake a bit, "My mission is to find a planet that Quiblys can co-exist with other beings in a peaceful manner."
His eyes widened, "You want to bring your entire alien race to Earth? How will that work for humans?"
I calmed myself as I attempted to assure him, "We have been under attack by a settlement of aliens called Zawns. They killed my Father and threaten the entire Quibly population."
He began writing notes in a green notepad, "So basically, the Zawns are bad and the Quiblys are good? Is that correct?"
I nodded, "Yes sir. We are a peaceful being. Our only hope is to escape the Zawns and live in peace with the humans."
Looking up from his notepad, "How will you all survive on Earth, I assume it is an entirely different atmosphere, living process, environment."
I showed him my baggie of capsules, "With these. These allow a Quibly to survive off of oxygen and eat human food."
My right hand shown with a blue glow.
Dan noticed, "What's that? Is it a weapon? Are you being honest?"
Looking down at my hand, "This is a communication device and more importantly it is a cloaking device. It allows me to maintain human form and blend in with the other humans."
He began scribbling more notes, "How does it work?"
I slapped my knee. I was now a Quibly again.
Dan fell back in his chair, "What!? What's happening, just don't hurt me?"
Realizing he wasn't ready for this, I slapped my knee again and cloaked back into Jonathan McNickleson.
His jaw dropped as both eyes bulged from their head sockets.
He setup the surveillance equipment through the cabin and sent me to my sleeping area.
Dan locked the door to my room and went on to do whatever he was doing knowing I was secured away.
Humans were not ready to see a Quibly but I thought it would work out.
I was now his prisoner if he so chose to treat me like one.
