Khan did his best to hide behind the boxes as the object rolled away then moved behind the big machine where he considered a safe zone, he remembered that he'd not seen any of the aliens from this planet before and remained still, almost like an object. "who's there?" the small voice asked further, sounded like a female alien he muttered "tuk ei vas" (what language is this?) to himself, he then heard footsteps towards in his direction and tried sneaking around but he tripped on some old ropes and fell on the floor.
“ha, ha, ha, ha” the voice broke into laughter "you're so funny", he turned around to the giggling eight year old mollie with a flashlight, he tried to run again but his legs were stuck. he kept on pulling desperately, over and over again "I can help you" mollie offered by stretching her hand forward but khan still didn't understand what she was saying and tried moving backwards but he couldn't "I'm a fwend don't worry okay?" she said moving forward to help him remove the ropes and khan was free.
Khan was a warrior back in uranus and a deadly one at that, he'd just been exiled for killing the king of his kingdom before his spaceship crashed, the same king he was entrusted with guarding.
khan killed the king after he found out that he was in control of the terrorists responsible for the killings in the village that resulted in the death of his lover and comrade shanya, he surrendered himself, refused to give any statement for his actions and was sentenced into exile.
"my name is mollie, what's yours" she asked, khan still could not understand what she meant, he had to learn how to communicate with her so he put both his hands up as a sign of peace and leaned forward to touch her forehead. mollie, had this weird bravery and total trust in her new friend that she let him touch her, immediately his finger touched her face he could understand everything she'd been saying and she could hear his voice, like he was in her head. "thank you for saving me young one, my name is khan" mollie couldn't speak anymore, how is this possible? she felt like she had her mom's earphones on "I'm mollie" she managed to say "but how can you talk without moving your lips" she asked, she couldn't hold back her curiosity. "this ability is very rare where I come from. the second I touched your forehead, we bonded, we can understand each and talk to each other without anyone knowing" he continued "you helped me in my time of need and I shall do the same, just call on my name in your time of need and on my honor I shall be there for you, you have my undying loyalty" he knelt down before the eight year old like a man and soldier, " so you're gonna be my fwend?"she asked....
"mollie!!, mollie where are you darling" mollie's mom yelled as she rushed inside the garage, mollie turned around to answer her mom switching on the light "I'm here mommy" she replied,she looked back and khan was gone. "you had me worried there baby, no more walking around the house at night okay?" her mom said, tucking her into bed "alright, kiss your mom goodnight, mmuah, see you in the morning baby" her mom switched off the light and walked out the room but mollie couldn't sleep, she felt sad that khan was gone when she heard his voice in her head "yes mollie, I will be your friend" mollie then smiled and went to sleep.
