The Alienist
Synopsis: A strange creature in the night destined to repopulate the world with its DNA
outside Sierra Blanca (Texas)
Update: Texas News reported three strikes that day by meteorites.
By co-incidence her name was also Blanca. She was twenty-five years old. Blanca Perez
Blanca held Susan’s hand and squeezed it. Susan wanted to draw her hand away… she was uncomfortable about public displays of affection.
Her lesbian girlfriend had invited her to the Roadside Bar and Grill … a free-standing establishment that also sold gas to vehicles driving the I-10
They were parked up the Access Road because the bar was now charging for parking… a short-sighted move that was driving customers away.
Blanca smiled at Susan reassuringly. But Blair gave her a dirty look. Blair Caruthers was hot… but straight. She was dating Blanca’s brother Luis. She was a born-again and would only give Luis a hand-job because she was saving herself for marriage
Blanca had joked that Blair do anal… and if Blair had already shown her contempt before, it made the rest of the evening frosty.
The night out—the four of them—had been Luis’ idea. He also regretted it to. He was very much for Blair but of course he loved his sister dearly and did not like the way his girlfriend had treated his sister.
So the four of them walked back to the pick-up.
Blanca and Susan in their jeans. Blair in her below-the-knee length dress.
Blair and Susan gringa… and were both very attractive. But had little else in common.
“What’s that?” Luis asked as they neared the car
“Where?” Susan was the first to ask
He pointed
It looked like the silhouette of a human figure
“Is that a woman?” Blair asked
It certainly had a feminine shape… but was so dark
And as they approached it appeared like a woman
If you took a woman and dipped her bodily into oil so thick it formed a hardened case around her entire being… that would look something like this figure.
Her face, skin, all like a black latex
Her eyes… from what they could see… all of her… black.
She had a good size bust and that and her feminine hips betrayed a gender from that distance
It was Susan that drew closer “Are you okay? Miss?” she asked
“Come back!” Blanca hissed
It turned to her. “Miss?” Susan asked as she drew even closer
The womanly figure spread her legs and suddenly from her sex slid out a long clear tube
“What the fuck?” Susan gasped
The creature burst upon Susan
Susan screamed in shock
“Let her go!” Blanca cried running forward
Her brother out paced her and got there soonest
The creature tore at Susan’s clothes as she screamed to get away
Luis lashed out at it but it batted him away, sending him 10m across the road. Blair ran to him
“Let her go!” Blanca cried kicking the creature
The creature ignored her blows, spread Susan’s legs apart and then the tube pushed up into Susan’s vagina
She screamed as it forced itself into her
Then the tube began filling with a black liquid and it could be seen pumping up into Susan’s body
Susan screamed even louder “It’s burning!” she cried in pain
Next thing Blanca’s hands came swinging. She’d picked up a large piece of wood and smashed it into the side of the creature’s head knocking her down
“Make it stop!” Susan screamed “it’s burning me”
“My baby” Blanca cried going to her lover
Susan was now shivering in shock “It’ll be okay” Blanca cried
“Help me” Susan cried just as suddenly Blair called out the same thing as she helped Luis get to his unsteady feet
Suddenly Susan stopped shaking. Blanca looked back at her
“Run!” Susan cried
Suddenly her eyes were going black, as if an ink was injected into her eyeballs
She shivered again and her whole body started to go grey… it was coursing through her veins and her skin changed pigment
Luis suddenly grabbed Blanca and helped her to her feet
“What?” she gasped
Susan’s whole body began to take on the same appearance as the female creature that had attacked her
“Please, sis” he said “We’ve got to go”
“No… I’m not leaving her… Susan?”
Susan rose to her feet, back and shiny
She tore her clothes off.
Naked she appeared like the creature, only her face still bore the features of Susan’s beauty
“Come…” Luis began dragging Black away
“Please…” Blair urged
Suddenly Susan turned and looked at Blair
From out of between her legs a clear tube extended
“What the fuck?” Blair cried
She turned to Luis “My, God!” she cried and Susan leapt upon her knocking her to the ground
She screamed in horror
“Don’t let it change me!” she cried
Luis had to let his sister go and turned back to aid his girlfriend
Blair screamed in horror as Susan;’s tube forced into her virginal vagina
Luis tried dragging her off
The first creature now sprung to its feet and attacked Luis
“No!” Blanca haplessly screamed as she watched the first creature tear at her brother’s jeans
It forced its turn up into his rectum
Blanca watched in horror as Blair turned into a creature
She tried to help her brother but was knocked back
Then Susan tried to attack her
Blanca twisted just as the tube shot out, and began pumping its black fluid, only this time onto the surface of the road
Luis started tearing at his clothes. His eyes were truing black and his chest began to bulge out, like he had large breasts
He reached for his cock that was shrivelling up
“Run, sis!” he cried and then his eyes started to turn black,
Blanca ran as fast as she could as the three creatures pursued her
By sheer luck a car pulled up next to her, having come up from the bar
“You alright miss?” the old man asked
“Help her, Bob” his wife said
Suddenly the creatures were on the car, tearing at the occupants
Blanca had to keep running as the old couple were raped and transformed
She got back to the Grill and burst in screaming hysterically
“Please… call 9-11” she whimpered, collapsing into the arms of a bouncer.. Terry was his name
“What’s going on?”
“They… they’re coming….”
Someone opened the door “No, don’t” she cried
“What the fuck?” he gasped
“What’s going on?” Terry asked as he handed Blanca over to a woman and he went to the door too.
Outside was the creature, and five humans transformed into beings like itself.
The old man and his wife, both totally black, naked female-like, just like Blanca’s ‘party’
They all just stood there in the car-park.
Suddenly one heard something… a couple were in the back of their car making-out….
Two creatures… maybe they communicated telepathically peeled off and raced tot he car.
There were screams. The woman managed to get out whilst her ‘friend’ was raped
She tumbled out the passenger window only for another creature to attack her, mounting her quickly and filling her with its DNA
“Hey!” Terry cried
“What the fuck you doing?” the man asked
“Hey!” Terry called again, drawing his concealed gun and stepping off the porch
“What’s he doing?” the man muttered.
Suddenly Terry saw the woman being transformed and he then realised he was in some really deep shit.
The guy emerged from the car as one of them.
Terry drew his weapon on one that suddenly looked at him.
He suddenly cried out in pain as it gazed into his eyes and his arm waived and suddenly he dropped his gun.
“Fuck” he cried as another creature jumped on him
“What’s happening?” Blanca asked
The guy closed the door and found a lock and locked it… “You don’t want to know” he said as Terry screamed as a creature tore at his pants
He managed to punch it to the ground when another jumped on him and pushed its tube quickly and painfully into his ass
Terry cried out and began whimpering as black goo was relentlessly pumped into his recturm
He lashed out one more time, knocking the creature away
He got up off the ground clutching his pained ass
Suddenly he felt a voice in his head “Still” and he relaxed
“You are one of us”
“No”
“You are one”
“Yes” he said and his eyes went black
He tore at his clothes and saw his ‘breasts’ grow
“What the f….?” was the last conscious independent thought he had
The creature that was Terry felt the collective voices and added his own to them… they had one purpose… to make others like themselves
Terry-creature looked about for someone it could rape…It wanted to pump DNA into some poor unfortunate person
Inside there had been a growing group of people who wanted to leave
Some, like the man—Brian—had seen the creatures outside
But even some of them thought it was a strange prank
Blanca had enough wits about her to finally get to her feet and move through the place looking for a place to hide… she understood things were going to get worse
The owner, Chez came downstairs from his office where he’d been banging one of his waitresses
“What the fuck’s going on?’ he gave a general call of disbelief
In an instant Blanca slipped in behind him un-noticed … before his door shut… and made her way up the stairs
It was at that precise moment the first of the creatures launching itself at a window ploughed into the building
“Hey!” someone yelled
The creature sprung up and grabbed the man and spun him around
It’s delivery tube slid out from between its legs and pushed so hard it broke through the guy’s jeans and found its mark
“Get it off me!” he cried as it clung to his back, pumping its DNA into his ass
Blanca heard the screams… she head shots fired
She continued up the stairs and found a woman half-dressed sitting on the office desk, waiting for her boss to come back and finish her off.
“Hey” she cried “You can’t be here”
“Shhh” Blanca urged
“What the…?” she cried as she heard the commotion
She got up, still not pulling her pants back on she went over to a wall and opened a panel to reveal a very large two-way mirrored window
“Oh my God” she cried.
Blanca went over and looked out
She recognised one of the creatures that was once her brother fucking a woman and tainting her with its alien DNA
“Oh no” Blanca wept
Then she realised something “Can they…?” she gasped stepping back “Can they see us?”
“No.. this is…” the woman said but she closed the panel anyway
“What’s going on?’ she asked as she went back to the desk and picked her pants up
“They’re… they’re changing everyone”
“Change?” she asked “What do you mean?”
“Whatever they are… they’re making people change into creatures like themselves”
“That’s…. that’s impossible, sweetie” she said
“You saw them!”
The woman had to admit what she saw was incredible…
“But.. what about Chez?”
“Chez…?”
“Chez… well… his really name is Percy.. but he hates that name” she began…
“If he’s out there… they’ve already changed him”
“No… but…”
“Look… I think we’re safe here…” Blanca said “You… you can’t go out there… or they’l….”
She began to cry
The woman went to her and embraced her
“Don’t worry” she said and she lead Blanca over to a couch and sat down with her
“By the way” she said “My name’s Rosie”
“Blanca” Blanca said
“Pleased to meet…” she began… but it seemed so odd now
Everything was so crazy
“Should I put the tv on?” Rosie said getting to her feet
“No…!” Blanca gasped “Don’t make a noise”
“But…”
“Look… we don’t know if they know we’re here… “ she said “Just…look I don’t want to tell you what to do”
“No.. tell me” Rosie said
“Just sit down with me… and wait”
Rosie sat back down
“Wait?” she asked “Wait for what?”
“I dunno…. till it’s safe to go out”
“And what if they’re still out there”
“We… look… we’ll wait at least till morning”
“And then what?”
“Well… I dunno… maybe they’ll have gone by then”
“How do you know?”
“I don’t know”
“We can’t just wait here indefinitely” Rosie said then looking around “But we do have a toilet here…” she said and rose to her feet “I gotta go now”
“Well…don’t flush”
“What?”
“Don’t make a noise”
“Okay” Rosie shrugged her shoulder
She went over to the toilet/en suite and left the door open… force of habit.. as she usually was just there with her boss
Rosie came out and then went over to a cupboard
She tried it and it was locked
She looked around
“What are you doing?” Blana asked
“I know…” she continued a though
She found a screwdriver and she pried the lock off
Opening the cupboard she drew out a 12” gauge shot gun and a box of ammo
“Grab one of these” she urged and Blanca took a 9mm
“You know how to use one?” Rosie asked
Blanca shook her head
Blanca was silent as she was give a quick rudimentary lesson
She took two 9mm, and a dozen clips
Rosie brandished the shotgun, and found her purse. She upended it and filled it with more boxes of ammo
They sat on the couch and waited the night out…
Blanca managed to fall asleep around 4am
She was woken by Rosie’s moving the panel open
“What are you doing?” she hissed
“Shhh” Rosie snapped back
Rosie looked out over the venue and there was no movement at all.
Blanca looked too
They studied the details of the place intently… trying to see if at least one of the creatures was hiding.
“Look!” Rosie said
Blanca followed Rosie’s finger
A creature was lying on the floor
“Maybe it’s dead” Rosie said
“Maybe it’s asleep” Blanca said
“I’m going to take a look”
“No.. don’t” Blanca said
But Rosie made her way down stairs
She opened the secure door and peeked out… then she stepped out
She was surprised that Blanca was right on her heels
“Are you dumb?” Blanca hissed
“We’ve got to find out… cover me…”
“Cove you?” Blanca scoffed
Rosie took her shot-gun off her sling and checking it was ready to rock ’n roll she stepped cautiously towards the figure she’d seen
And there it was… immobile
Rosie poked its head with the end of the barrel
Nothing
“Help me” she said
Rosie urged Blanca to help her roll the creature onto its back
They did so… touching its skin was like touching snake leather
“Oh my God!” Blanca gasped… It was Susan, her lover. She turned away crying
“You know this one?”
“Yes…” Blanca sobbed
There was a gunshot wound to the chest below one of the creature black breasts
“Look at this!” Rosie said…
Blanca looked back…
Her lover was naked… the black ‘body-suit’ of alienn skin covering her head to foot. She had no hair.
“That’s the alienist looking thing I’ve ever seen” Rosie said
“There’s no such word”
“No such…?” she decided not to dispute that. She figured Blanca to be more intelligent than herself. Someone she should stick with.
Looking at Susan…
Her fingers were odd… the same amount of digits, but two opposing thumbs on each hand.
“Look” Rosie said as she pried the creatures legs apart
Her ‘labia’ looked just like a woman’s
As she probed the tube poked out as she pressed down on the creature’s mons
When she released the pressure the tube retracted
Although this wasn’t the time or place it bemused Rosie and she tried pushing down and releasing a few times to watch that DNA delivery-system draw out, then back, draw out, then back
“Stop that” Blanca snapped
Rosie pushed down harder and the tube lolled out like a large phallus
It was an inch wide and fourteen inches long, and a small rivulet of black ran down it, and dripped out
“That’s how they’re changed” Blanca said
“What?”
“One of these pours that gunk into your body and within 30 seconds… you’re one of them too”
“30 seconds!” Rosie gasped… actually impressed
“At least we know we can kill these things” she said
“Oh, Susan” Blanca cried again as the feelings welled up in her
Rosie walked around looking at the deritis …. people’s phones, wallets, etc. lying around… but no people
“I found another!” she called “Fuck!”
“What is it?”
“It’s…Percy”
“Who?”
“Chez… my boss…”
Blanca looked over but couldn’t see the creature
“Fuck” Rosie gasped… “Why do they all look like women?”
“I… I don’t know…”
There lay Chez… at least the creature had Chez’s face, but the rest was this dark creature, like Chez had out on a black latex woman suit
There was a bullet hole in Chez’s chest too.
Rosie made a sign of the cross
“Sorry, lover” she whispered
Rosie went over to the main door and she peeked out. The sun was up.
“No one” she called back
“Don’t go out!” Blanca called
Rosie opened the door wider.
The sun burst in and hit Chez’s body
Suddenly it began to hiss
Rosie looked back “What the fuck?”
“What?”
“Come… quick…”
“What?”
“Come!”
Blanca went over… both watched as the sunlight began to melt the body… it was as if it were ice-cream and it just began to run its black slick everywhere
“Fuck” Rosie gasped
“You know what this means?” Blanca gasped excited
“What?”
“They… they can’t come out in the daylight”
“Wow”
“Fuck” Blanca cheered… these creatures had another weakness… a major one
“Can you help me with Susan?”
“Who…?”
“The.. um… other creature”
“What do you want to do?”
“Take her outside into the sun”
“Okay”
They dragged Susan out and sure enough it sizzled too and soon melted into a black slick
“We need to find others…” Blanca said
“Other creatures?”
“No… other people….survivors like us…”
“Where?”
“I don’t know” Blanca snapped “We need tot ell them how to kill these things” she added
Blanca drove in Rosie’s car. She put the radio on and ran through the bands till she found the national emergency beacon
They drove into town but no one was around
“We can’t be the only ones” Rosie said
“Don’t be silly”
“Look… we….”
“We need to find a place to haul-up over night” Blanca said
“Okay… but we also need supplies”
“Safe place first…” Blanca said “No point having supplies if we can’t defend ourselves…”
“Right”
They set to work… and found a cellar. They built up a set of further around it to hid the entrance.
Then they ‘shopped’ for supplies
By that time the sun was looking low and they made their way to their hideout
In the night they heard movement—footsteps… but they were not discovered
In the morning they set out to go to the next town…
The search for other survivors began….
