A little smile was all he needed to succeed. He blinked against the evening sun and showed his teeth with a coy smile and he knew, that the few young people in front of him would do anything for him. It was if as he could simply hear their thoughts. The two girls and the boy all had the same thing in their minds. “What a cute guy. I wish I was friends with him.” He had approached them sitting on the stairs in front of the old cinema, enjoying the last few warm evenings of summer. He was their age, physically but not mentally. He asked for a cigarette and both girls jumped up almost immediately, trying to get out theirs faster than the other. The one with the black leather jacket succeeded and proudly presented him her box. He smiled again and thanked her. Whilst busy with that, the other girl had fetched her lighter, ready to be of his service, as soon as he asked for fire. Again, he paid her with another smile of his perfect white teeth, engaging in Smalltalk with them. The boy did not stand up, as the other two girls, he acted disinterested, but he could clearly see his not-so-discreet looks towards him, checking out his body hungrily. He thought, how he could have his fun with those three, his victims for the night. “So, where are you from?” the boy started engaging in the conversation as well. Everything was easier than he expected. Humans were such innocent people. “Ah, you know, just crashed with my spaceship down the road. Gotta get it fixed soon, so I can get back to my home planet”, he said in a joking voice, being serious inside. They all laughed. “Well, we didn’t see you around before, so kinda makes sense”, the boy answered, smiling friendly. He flinched. For a second there was this darkness flashing in the mind of the boy, as he was smiling. There was also a distinct look in his eyes, but both were gone in the blink of an eye, so he shoved it aside, thinking it was nothing. They continued their meaningless conversation while he and the two girls were smoking, the boy apparently didn’t. When they finished their cigarettes, he jokingly proposed that he could show them his ship. The two girls accepted immediately, the boy just shrugging his shoulders, trying to be cool in front of his friends. So he guided them into an abandoned and dark alley, where he started preparing his assault. They would never be able to even get what was happening, before it was too late. “There is nothing here”, the girl with the leather jacket complained, jokingly disappointed. “Of course, you can’t see it, it’s invisible for humans”, he mockingly explained. Again, there was this darkness flashing in the mind of the boy. He would have to thoroughly read his mind when he was on the verge of dying. Now, the boy said: “Anne, Lisa, would you kindly give me a moment with our new friend here? I would really appreciate it, if he didn’t kill you both before I could do anything to save you.” He didn’t understand how the boy did know about what he was planning but he did know, that he had to act quickly now. With a speed faster than even seemed physically possible, he jumped in front of the boy, wanting to rip away his whole throat with one swift blow of his seemingly human but deadly hard and strong fingers, but – he wasn’t able to. Half an inch before the boy’s throat, his hand was stopped by the arm of the boy and in the meantime, he started feeling a weird pain inside his chest. When he looked down on his body, he saw that an army knife was stuck between his rips. A red stain was quickly emerging around it on his white tank top. The boy pulled him close to himself and started whispering into his ear: “You are a disgrace for all of our kind.” Realizing his terrible mistake, he died in the arms of the boy.
