(Gonna give y'all a little info first, just because. )
After years of pollution, all life on Earth was either forced underground or died. Running low on all life support supplies, humanity gathered together what they could and in a desparate attempt to stay alive, fled the planet in a single, great ship.
After crashlanding on an eerily Earth-like planet, the remaining population stayed together for survival. But, and humans are, they refused to give up the tech they had.
Over the years, the population spread, building new and greater cities. Brilliant minds duplicated and improved the technology brought from Earth, makeing high tech life-support and super-food - and weapons as well. And humanity, too busy with themselves, overlooked everything else.
Hidden away, there were other things. From Earth, things had hidden on the ship, mutations and ancient life forms. On the new planet, other things had lived for ages, and now watched. Things humanity had thought only to be in storybooks.
How wrong they were.
Some of humanity has realized they aren't alone. But most won't believe that things are creeping in...
Few people noticed the seemingly young woman. Many didn't even notice the fountain any more, that she perched on the side of.
She saw each of them though. And she knew so much about them just by how they looked, what thet wore; the expressions of their faces. And it was only she who noticed that the water in the fountain was somewhat... murky.
There weren't many people out. It was late, and those few humans who were out in the night always stayed were the light shone.
She looked up, alerted by something. She smiled.
Someone had noticed her.
