AN: Ok you Falling Skies fans here is another story for you to read! I'm basing this story after Jimmy dies so most of the stuff that happens will NOT be in line with the stuff in the show. I hope you all like the story and review so I know if I'm doing good or bad. I own nothing of Falling Skies so don't hate.

Crash Landing

For whoever is reading this, I believe it is important for you to know a little about me, the teller of this tale. I am known as many things across the galaxy. The light, source, spirit are just a few that the reader will know. I can be found in every being across the universe but I can easily perish. I represent the mortality of all but when beings tamper with this inner being that I am there are concisenesses. Some are not deadly they can be seen as gifts almost but others can destroy a planet. You must know that I am all. I see, hear, and most importantly feel all. I shall move on to the story. It has nothing to do with survival of the human race but yet has everything to do with the survival of it. Our story is centered around a group of resistance, the 2nd Massachusetts.

Ben looked around at the scouting group he was in. Hal and Maggie were the only normal scouts that were in the group. His father and Dai were a new addition that he knew wouldn't be permanent. They were approaching an empty field that had relatively short grass surrounded by tall bushes. That's when he heard it, a loud buzzing that fell away to voices. The first voice was of a young guy. That much he could tell. We made it. We're safe. Don't worry. Were some of the things Ben heard. The second was of a girl who sounded scared. Stay calm. Stay calm. Ben heard repeated over and over.

"Ben keep up! What are you looking at?" Hal said looking over his shoulder.

Ben hadn't realized he was looking up till Hal mentioned it. "Something's coming." he said shifting his eyes to his big brother.

"What? What's coming? Ben!" Hal started yelling but Ben just stared at the sky.

"We should hide." Ben said seeing the ship come into view. Hal and the rest of the group saw it and ran for the light cover of the bushes.

They all saw as the ship was hit by a blue ray of light and crashed in the field nearly a football field away from them. They all were holding their breath waiting for something to happen but what happened was something they all didn't expect. They stared at the remains of the ship seeing the shattered pieces of ship here and there when part of the ship was thrown from the main part of the ship. Then a girl walked out of the hole the thrown piece left. Ben thought she couldn't be much older than him. She was tall with black hair that looked like ribbons and bright blue eyes.

She seemed like she was breathing heavy. Ben wanted to go help her but as he started his father's arm held him back. She started walking towards the bushes when the rest of the ship exploded. Ben and Hal seemed to be the only ones who saw the bright blue of her eyes expand to show a faint glow that consumed her eyes. Everyone heard a loud scream and they all knew that the girl was hurt if not dead. As the dust and smoke of the explosion lifted they were shocked to see the girl was still alive but she had a massive shard of metal in her shoulder. The girl looked up just staring at the skies but then her eyes quickly shifted to the bushes directly at Ben.

She gave a sickened smile and screamed, "I KNOW YOU'RE OVER THERE! Don't bother helping! I'll just bleed out!" But as everyone started to move to help her eyes grew big. Go back. Ben heard quickly in his head. He hid back behind the bushes. Hal and Tom stopped when they saw Ben not moving from his position in the bushes. They started to ask what was wrong but they heard the girl scream, "Go away! They might see you too!" Ben was the only one who saw her eyes glow the same bright blue just before Hal, Tom, and Dai were pushed to the ground.

Then they saw the blue bomb of light land directly on the girl. The wave nearly knocked everyone back and they were already on the ground. Help. Please. The voice Ben heard sounded drained and tired. He ran through the smoke that remained and found the girl with the metal shard dug in the ground holding her right shoulder down.

"You could hear me?" The girl asked her voice as weak as the one in her head.

"Yeah. Are you ok?" Ben asked as he tried to figure out what to do.

"This isn't good. You shouldn't be able to hear me…no one should without a bridge." She said staring just past Ben's head.

"Is she ok?" Hal yelled running up once the smoke cleared.

"Yeah but she's hurt!" Ben yelled back.

"Not good. Not good at all." The girl continued to mutter.

Everyone was around the girl trying to get the shard out of the ground. It was Ben's job to keep her conscious so they could tell if they were hurting her.

"I'm Ben. What's your name?" Ben said trying to keep her awake.

"My…my name? It's…um… they called my Olivia." She stuttered slightly. "I won't die. Trust me." Olivia said with a weak smile.

"Why would you even think that?" Ben asked trying to hide his shock that she knew he was worried.

"I know. I know a lot of stuff. Like I know what happened to your friend. What was his name…um…Jimmy. That's it." She stopped there though looking in his eyes. "Oh I went too far didn't I? I'm sorry. It's just…you were thinking of him and- and oh I'll just stop. Jeez that hurts!" She said as Tom and Dai released the shard from its earth prison.

"Sorry but at least you're not nailed to the ground." Dai spoke his first sentence to her in a neutral tone.

"Good point." Olivia said starting to rise off the ground with the help of Ben. She seemed to be fine till she put weight on her right leg. Once she did she nearly collapsed on the ground again if Ben hadn't grabbed her arm before she fell. "Thanks." She whispered. They all looked at her and she seemed paler.

"You alright?" Maggie asked her coming closer to her.

"Yeah…have to get worse before you get better, right?" Olivia replied with a laugh.

"She can't walk. What should we do?" Hal asked Tom, who was the leader of this scouting mission.

"We can't leave her, so I guess we'll have to carry her." Tom replied simply.

"I can do it, Dad." Ben said scooping Olivia into his arms.

They started to move out. Hal waited back with Ben and told him, "You need to switch out any time just tap out."

"Got it Hal." Ben said with a smirk.

"Ben! Try to keep her up!" Tom yelled from the front of the squad.

"Got it!" he yelled back then turned his attention toward the girl in his arms who was growing paler by the minute. "So what are you?"

She gave a smile and replied, "Same thing as you. Just a kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time I guess."

"Tell me. Why isn't me being able to hear you in my head good?" Ben asked trying to pry but not to obviously.

"Hearing voices isn't good in the first place, but in my case I hear everyone. Like your brother doesn't seem to like that you keep things from him. He just wants to help but you knew that. Didn't you?" Olivia questioned.

"Anything else." Ben asked raising an eyebrow.

"Your dad's worried and that Dai guy doesn't seem to like the fact that you guys are taking me to this camp. Maggie doesn't care which way but she's nervous." Olivia finished.

"Doesn't answer the question." Ben pointed out.

"Well you hearing me means that there is a bridge between our minds and that doesn't happen without a lot of crap happening first." Olivia said noticing the spikes on his back. "That explains it…" She trailed off.

"Ok. Olivia-" Ben couldn't finish because Olivia started to speak.

"I went too far again? I do that a lot. I'm sorry it's just not a lot of kids like you make it to the ship. I'll stop talking though." Olivia finished.

"Alright." Ben said as he continued to walk to the camp.

They walked in silence for the rest of the walk to get to camp. Olivia was half conscious but when they grew closer to camp she started saying, "Loud…so loud…why do people yell?"

"I don't know. They just like to hear themselves talk I guess." Ben said more to the air in front of him than to her.

"Funny Ben. You're funny…" Olivia laughed a little but that lead to extreme coughing fits.

By the time they reached the med. van she had started coughing up blood saying it wasn't anything just used her head too much. Dr. Glass told Ben to put Olivia on the table so they could start to work on getting the shard out and to look at her leg. He was starting to walk out when he heard, Don't leave. Please.

He tested their so called "bridge" and asked, Why?

She simply replied I don't trust people.

And why do you trust me? Ben questioned.

You listen. People don't usually listen to a girl that just fell out of the sky and survived a bomb dropped on her head. Her voice sound like it was scared.

That's true but you need to trust some people. Dr. Glass is the best. She won't hurt you. Ben said hoping to encourage her. I promise.

Alright…but if anything happens I'll make you explode.

They both began to laugh at that. Dr. Glass and Lourdes looked between the two confused but didn't ask any questions. Ben was shooed out and so were any other people that came in the van while they were operating.

AN: That's it for now. Please tell me how you like it and what I'm doing wrong or right. Thanks for reading!
