Amy and the Alien Raider

The alien leaned down until his broad nose almost touched my own and I felt my eyes widening as I struggled to take in the heavy features, cherry red skin, and the long, pointed horns that crowned his head.

Those yellows eyes seemed to fill my vision until I swore I was staring into the sun and hot breath skated over my face as he bared his teeth and snarled,

"Be still or die!"

My muscles went limp and I let out a humiliating whimper as the horned beast squeezed me tighter to his chest and hauled me into the darkness.
