Hii it's Nessa :) I haven't posted anything in a long while since I was tired of my old story :S But now my friend and I watched the new season of Falling Skies and we had a new idea. :) So I hope you like it -xxx-
Chapter 1:
They stood on top of the mountain waiting for Weavers call to attack. All three of them stood side by side watching the kids work down below. They understood what it was like to be attached to those creatures, having no control over your actions and having been connected to the aliens without place for your own thoughts. It was probably the scariest thing they had to live through but thanks to the rebels they were free and could fight to defend their world. Deni, Ben and Vanessa tripple checked their harnesses to make sure that they could go down safely but something caught Vanessa's eye.
"Oh no!" She whispered making the others look at her.
"What's wrong Nessie?" Deni asked her bending over Ben to catch a glimpse of her friend.
"Over there look!" She told them pointing to a group of harnessed kids. "It's Annabelle." She whispered.
"Don't worry we're going to get her back." Deni told her smiling. "Piece of cake." She added positioning herself to descend.
"Piece of cake." Vanessa repeated to herself before recieving Weavers call. "Okay team good luck." She told the others next to her.
"Don't worry baby I got this." Ben said with a wink and they all descended to start the fight.
Skitters came from everywhere but it was nothing the team couldn't handel. Once all the aliens were down the team regrouped to talk but rustling of rocks caught their attention. Two weird robots they had never seen before broke out of them and started attacking the soldiers. Then skitters came through the mine hole taking a hold of Ben and Deni. Vanessa ran up to her to help her get the aliens of just in time to call the rebel skitters. They then moved to try and help Ben who was being held down by two skitters but were stopped in their tracks as others grabbed a hold of them. Luckly, a few moments later the rebels arrived followed by Professor Masson. One last skitter was left strangling Ben so Vanessa ran behind it, stabing him in his sensitive spot until he fell down dead. She then put her knife back and looked at Ben.
"Yeah don't worry baby, you got this." She said sarcastically and offered him a hand.
He rolled his eyes before taking his co-workers hand and getting back up on his feet.
"Hey that was not my fault!" Ben said in his defense. "They knew we were coming." He finished.
"Just be careful next time okay?" She told him playfully hitting him in the stomac.
"Aww does someone care?" He asked smirking and she rolled her eyes.
"No I just don't think Matt or Hal would apreciate me letting their brother get killed for a stupid mistake." She answered smirking back at him.
"Come on love birds. We have work to do." Deni said stepping between the two.
"Shut up Deni." Vanessa said rolling her eyes again. " We don't like eachother like that." She finished.
"Oh yes, how could I forget? Little Nessie only has eyes for a special little soldier!" Deni said swinging her right arm over Vanessa's shoulders. "What was his name again?" She asked teasingly as they aproached the group of soldiers that was putting the harnessed kids in thne trucks.
"Stop it." Vanessa whispered as people looked at them curiously.
"Oh come on Nessie. Was it...uh...J-J-J-Jeydon...no that's not it...J-J-J-Jenifer...no that's a girls name...J-J-J..."
"Jimmy okay! Now stop it we have work to do." Vanessa said blushing and walking past Deni and Ben to go help the soldiers.
"Give her a break." Ben said rolling his eyes.
"Hey the girl needs to get some courage with this stuff. You'd thind that she's fearless fighting th way she does but when it comes to boys...or should I say a boy...not so much." Deni responded looking at her friend from afar.
"Just give her sometime." He said.
The two then walked over to some soldiers helping them pick up the desceased soldiers and some of their gear. Meanwhile, Vanessa supervised the fighters that were putting the kids in the truck to make sure that they were all seated properly as Colonel Weaver came behind her.
"What is this I hear about Jimmy?" He asked making her jump and turn around quickly.
"Uh nothing sir...we were...uh just talking about how amazing of a soldiers he is for his age." She responded a little to fast to be believable.
Colonel Weaver just stared at her for a while, looking for a sign that she was lying to him and when he did he stared deep into her eyes before responding.
"Might say the same about you soldier." He told her still keeping eye contact which made her even more uncomfortable. "But why do I believe that you are lying to me?" He asked keeping the same cold gaze.
"I...uh sir I'm sorry." She said looking down and heard chuckling in front of her.
"Sorry for what soldier:?" Weaver asked walking next to her and patting her on the back.
"Sir it's just that I...kinda..."
"I know kid. I'm just messing with you." He said chuckling again. "You're young, these thibgs happen." He continued as the started walking. "I just wanted to make sure that my theorie was correct. You see Jimmy is like my own son and I only want the best for him." He told Vanessa once they had stopped next to one of the trucks.
"Sir?" She asked confused. " I'm afraid that I do not understand." She finished.
He then bent down so he was at eye level with her.
"I'm saying go for it soldier." He said and straighten back up.
"But sir...Jimmy is not...he won't even..."
"Life is about taking chances soldier. You do it every day in the field, risking your own life for the safety of the civilians, helping rescue incocent children being help captive with a parasyte on their backs because of these aliens. You have proved your courage to all of us and we admire you for that." He told her smilling. "Now it's time to take some of that courage and face your fears." He finished.
All Vanessa could do is nod and take in all of that.
"Now when we get back to Charleston I want you to talk to Jimmy. That's an order!" He said smilling and she nodded whispering a «Yes sir». "Alright then let's move out!" He added louder so everyone could hear.
They then all got into the trucks and headed back home.
Thank you for reading :D tell me what you think!
