Guardian of the Other Moon


It was night, the moon shone brightly against the dark Earth sky, ever quiet and watching, over a city that not too long ago was bustling with life and noise. But all is silent

now,but it was a peaceful silence, something Jack had grown used to over the past 300 years. At the moment he was in Washington, DC, sitting a-top some random roof

near the White House. Now as to why he was here, was not for bringing snow...at least not at the moment. No tonight he was here for other reasons...see he had heard tale

of a small group of outsiders...extraterrestrials really...that had come to Earth seeking peace and neutral alliance. It was strange really thought Jack, why of all the places in

the universe would they come here? Earth didn't have much, he had 300 years of experience to prove that. So now he was set on discovering more about them; he had

children to protect after all, plus it's not every day...even for an immortal that you get to meet an alien. Jack's gaze shifted to an open window in the white house, the lights

were out but he could tell someone was still awake and moving in there. "Maybe it's one of them", he thought, as he had heard that the alien family would be staying there,

in the white house. "Kind of a stupid move" he thought, "even if they aren't hostile", but he figured it was probably out of respect or something or maybe even fear of what

they would do if Earth didn't show kindness to them; he didn't know. So he finally got off of his butt and decided to fly over there, hoping to find out more.

When Jack got to the window...it was more of a balcony really...he managed to look inside and see a figure amongst the darkness...it was definitely a female...but smaller...a

teenager perhaps? As his eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room he could start to see her more clearly. He had seen her before...reddish-brown hair, olive green

eyes...she was on the news...she was one of them...she was an alien. Immediately Jack's shoulders tensed, he knew he shouldn't be worried, she can't see him...probably

has never even heard of him...being from another planet and all. But despite this, Jack drew a breath, a walked... into... the... room.
