   A clear stream of water ran through cracks in the dirt. The planet of Kalizenons had no name and the species was never heard of. The species had classes, low, middle, and upper. Their eyes matched their blood color, which was determined by which class they were born into. Every Kali had fangs and horns, no exceptions unless they were broken. They were modest and never showed too much skin. They mostly wore jeans and long shirts, occasionally skirts.
   Abbi's eyes fixed on the earth, her pale blue blood running down her ankle. "I run out here to view this place and all I get is a slit in my leg." She ran her fingers along the gash, pain stinging her every move.
   "Well, look who I didn't expect to see here," a shorter girl approached Abbi. Most low class and middle class Kalizenons were short, yet this one was tall.
   "Casthim," Abbi began. "I didn't expect to see a bitch like you here."
   "Well being a bitch does pay off."
   "I don't care, I just need to leave this place before someone gets hurt. My sister has been going insane, and I need to get there for a cure." Abbi lifted her hand and pointed at the earth, looking at the glow around it. "I might as well stay there. With these dictators and everything."
   "Might not want to say that in front of an executor," Casthim quietly laughed at Abbi's words.
   "How do I get to that place?" Abbi still had her gaze focussed on the earth, even after she had lowered her hand.
   "There's a teleporter in the dictator's palace. Once you get in there you'll have to wire it up."
   "Gee, thanks. Having never wired anything before I won't survive, thank you very much."
   Casthim sighed, running her fingers through her short hair. She snapped her fingers to grab Abbi's attention and walked off. Abbi followed behind Casthim, looking at the Kalizenon society. A small girl had a horn broken, another child had green blood pouring from his knee, a mother about to give birth.
   "I wonder if that planet is the same," Abbi muttered.
   The girls finally reached the palace, Casthim pulling out an executor's card. The girls were excused into the palace and ran towards the hall of rooms.
   Abbi's beanie slid off as she hopped into the teleporter, waiting for Casthim to hook it up.
   Casthim shouted, "You ready?" Abbi face a curt nod, grabbing her beanie before the teleportation started. Casthim quickly jumped in before Abbi could say anything.
   The power shut off and the girls were gone. Casthim was no where to be seen, probably in another part of this planet. Abbi had fell into a fountain in the middle of a town with a man looking at her. He was much taller than she was, his height up to 6'7'' whike. Abbi's beanie slipped off, her horns being revealed to the man, though he didn't budge. He had a mask on with green eyes.
   "So I suppose pretty girls just fall from the sky?" He spoke. He had a deep voice, a murderer's voice.
   Abbi stood up. "State your name." She bit her lip with her long fangs, blood dripping out.
   "It's Jade. Jade Liju."
   "In that case, I'm Abbi."
   "No last name?"
   "Nope."
   "I like your style, kid."
   "I'm sixteen, not five."
   "And I'm twenty."
   "Oh joy."
