The Adventures on Kah

I'm not an alien, you are!

"I said come back here, you stupid alien!" Leslie yelled, still tied to the pole. Of course, he didn't come back, so her screaming was useless. "Damnit," she whispered. She writhed around under the silver ropes, and it came loose. "Well. They aren't good at tying knots, are they?" she asked herself, laughing. 

"Actually, we're wonderful at it. It's just that you aren't the one were sacrificing to our god, Valacknick."

"Heh?" She said, half startled.

"Valacknick brought you here so we could have a sacrifice. It hasn't rained acid in over a month."

Leslie laughed in his face, imitating a Hyena. "Sacrifice? That's hilarious. Now, if you'll just show me the way back to my ship, my husband I will leave you alone."

"Husband? What's that?"

"Partner?"

"Oh. You mean that other human that was with you!"

"Yeah," she said, quite convinced that the alien was an imbecile.

"Oh! Yes! He's going to make a wonderful sacrifice." 

"Holy—" 

"Please join us tonight for the ceremony! We will help you repair your ship and then you can leave in the morning."

"I'm not leaving without the other human," she said, crossing her arms.

"You can have what Valacknick doesn't eat, I suppose. Although, he hasn't has human flesh in over a century, so I'm sure it won't be much."

Suddenly, Leslie had an idea appear like a lightbulb. 

"What's that?" The alien asked, pointing to the shining object above Leslie's head.

"What? Oh, that. Nothing important. Will there be food at this ceremony?"
