Yes, Alley knows that having you around and being near you is dangerous, very dangerous for him, not for you. Alley works for a corporation that researches other life forms on other planets. Of course there is life elsewhere, just that the public is not ready for that, that is why it is a secret. You are an alien, who is supposed to be dead or at least that is what he notified. He lied, he knows that this could cost him his life if his bosses find out.

But he couldn't help it. You are small, fragile, well, much stronger than him and any human, but for your race you are, an infant, with whom they would experiment and you would eventually die because of that. He preferred to pretend you were dead and take care of you himself rather than wait for you to really be dead.

Alley now just sighs tiredly and looks away. His arms are crossed, but he lights you with a flashlight so as not to lose you in the darkness of this cold night. He sees you sitting in the dirt, in the long grass, getting muddy, discarding and then eating the meat of a cow that lies on the ground, already dead. You are a carnivore and if Alley could feed you in a less grotesque way, he would. But he wants to make sure that if one day he is not there to protect you, you will be able to go out and find your own food and survive. In fact, he doesn't mind watching you while you feed yourself, it's normal, it's in your genes.
