Chapter One – New Home
First fanfic ever, so… I hope ya'll enjoy! None of the Super 8 characters belong to me. Anna, Aunt Sandy, Mira, the creature, Vanessa and Pyro are all OC. It takes place about three months after the movie. Pairing: Joe/Alice; Preston/OC; Cary/OC; Martin/OC.
My bed was placed in the corner, with black sheets and pillow cases. The suitcase that traveled everywhere with me was behind me, as was the only person I had left. "This is it, honey. Make yourself comfortable." I look at my Aunt and smile sweetly at her. "Thanks" She smiles back and I walk into my new room. My suitcase was left on the floor as I flopped on the bed, my legs dangling off the side.
The bed was comfy and it would suffice. Lillian, Ohio. I laugh silently at myself, and my life. Who knew that in just one week I would lose everything and end up from England to Ohio? Suddenly, there is a knock on my door. My head snaps up. There was a short girl with brown hair to her shoulders. It was my cousin, Mira.
"Hey, Anna. What up, cuz? Dinners almost ready. You should come down" I smile and nod at her. She looks at me with those eyes of pity that everyone looks at me with, and then heads down stairs.
"Hey" Aunt Sandy says as I come down the stairs. I sit in one of the wooden chairs at the dinner table. There was only three plates set out. My aunt, Mira, and myself. "Tonight we have pasta and garlic bread." I nod and say; "That sounds lovely"
Once everyone is seated and the food is passed around, there is silence. I slowly chomp on my small piece of garlic bread. I'm not that hungry, but if I don't eat, then Aunt might think there is something wrong with me, and I can't have that. Just smile and eat. I have to remind myself.
Aunt breaks the silence by reminding me that I have to go to school in two days. On Monday. "You know," Mira says, "There was something that happened a while ago. It was pretty… awesome, actually." Aunt scowls at her. "Do you really need to tell her that story? You'll make her start to crawl over those poor boys, as if they need it"
"Tell me what?"
Mira smirks and says; "About three months ago, there was an alien attack. Terrorized the whole town. Then these boys, your age, went and took it down. Oh, it sounded so cool! This one boy, Martin, got hit by a bomb and broke his leg. Then Charles had to save him. Oh and Cary blew up a whole bunch of stuff and scared it off and Joe went all the way there to save Alice. It was soooooo romantic! The only one of the boys that was to chicken to go battle the alien was Preston, but he hardly matters. The others are so hot, he's so… not."
Mira goes off into her own world while Aunt Sandy rolls her eyes. "How old are you?"
"Hey, I'm ten! I think about boys, too, you know!"
I chuckle a genuine chuckle. It has been awhile since I did that last. This was a good place for me. Maybe I'll get better. I look down at my plate. Or maybe it won't. My stomach suddenly groans and I know what is happening. "Excuse me" I say, and run to the bathroom, opening the toilet lid, and puking in it. This was going to be a lot tougher than I had anticipated.
This was just the first chapter. Hope you like it, and please comment and such.
