She opened her heavy eyelids. She blinked a numerous time to clear her vision.
“It is a pleasure to see you again Andrea,” a familiar disembodied voice said.
He stood in front of her with his hair in a ponytail, a grin on his face.
Auster.
Anger blew in her, she jumped up but was restrained by the bindings on the chair she was seated on.
She was in a ceilinged room, nothing but walls. There was a shut door behind him.

“Don’t worry we're still on Helker,”
“Where is she?!” Andrea seated through clenched teeth.

Five of them were occupied from the five of them one had a decomposed body.

“She isn't the only one who's still alive,”
The image zoomed back to a face of a woman. Her greying hair sprawled under her, she was peacefully asleep, her chest softly heaving.

“no..” Andrea breathed out realizing who it was. She shook her head. “She's dead, she died years ago,”
Auster chuckled, “You’ve been fooled so easily. You know these aliens, these creatures?” he asks as the same spider looking creature appears from behind Andrea.
