The End came when Aliens and Greek gods showed up
Well what can I say about myself. Nothing much really. I lived just north Los Angeles my entire life and I lived a comfortable life. I went to school and had a few good friends. That all changed when the aliens known as Zalikins came and just ruined everything not just for me, but for the whole world.
I'm sorry I don't think I told you my name yet, I'm David. I like to think of myself as tall, standing at 5'11, but I still feel short when compared to my friend Jose, but that's not important right now. What is important is that there are Aliens attacking the world and Greek Gods walking around among us. Yeah you heard me, Greek gods.
Apparently they have been with us since the beginning and still around doing their thing. They decided to come out of hiding when the Zalikins came I guess they thought that they might help but all they did was complicate things and want to control how we as people operate. Their children, or demigods I think they're called, are also just getting in the way of the militaries around the world fighting off the aliens. Now all there is left fighting these things are scattered armies and rag tag groups of militias and I have no idea where the Greeks went off to, probably hiding in their precious Mount Olympus. Now people like me are out there fighting these things off. But not everything that happened was bad.
Well this is my story of the whole thing.
I woke on a Saturday morning and groggily got up. I went to the kitchen to see my mom getting ready to leave for work. She works as a nurse at a hospital in Downtown LA. My father died when I was seven from Lung cancer. That's what he gets for smoking so much I guess, but I still wish he was with us.
"Morning sweetie, I've made some pancakes out for you to have," my mom told me.
"I'm seventeen already can you please stop calling me sweetie," I exasperated.
"As long as your my son then I can you that for as long as I want," was her response. She kissed my cheek we said our goodbyes as she got in her car and left for work. Little did I know was that that'll be the last time I would ever see her again.
I went to the kitchen counter to eat my pancakes. The news was on from my mom. I changed the channel to a movie about a zombie apocalypse. My phone rang so I went to go get it. It was my friend Stacy, probably calling about our plans for tonight.
"Hey there how are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm fine thanks. Looking forward to tonight?"
"Yeah I am, can't wait." Just after she said that the ground shook, causing some things to fall. It came so suddenly without warning and stop as fast as it came.
"Did you feel that?" I asked her.
"I don't think a single person in LA didn't feel that." I quickly changed the movie to the news to see what was going on. What I saw I almost couldn't comprehend. There was a giant crater in the beach at Santa Monica, like an explosion happened. That's not what shocked me though. It was that there was a giant alien spaceship just off the coast.
The news cast said, "For those of you just joining in, I have no words but you can see for yourself that there is an alien spaceship just off the coast of LA. I'm getting reports that there are other ships off the coast of every country and near every major city in the world. We got signal from them just two hours ago. AS we have just seen they are not here to make friends. It appears that they're here to conquer us."
"Um, Stacy where are you?" I asked her.
"Downtown, I'm shopping with my mom. Why?"
"Well not to sound crazy and trying not to panic here, but that tremor you felt was from an explosion from an alien spaceship. I just saw it on the news."
"That can't be happening." Just then there was another explosion. I checked the news to see that the explosion happened near Downtown.
"Are you okay!" I heard a lot of screaming coming from her phone. Just then another explosion happened and then her phone hung up on me. I tried calling her again but it said that I am unable to connect. I tried calling my mom then it said the same thing. All the lines went down.
It's been three weeks since this whole thing went down. I've been home the entire time, not dare trying to leave my home. My friend Adam has been staying with me since this all went down. We haven't done much of anything except just watch the news. I visited my neighbors to try to find them but they were gone. I grabbed their food and the revolver the dad has in his drawer. I left a note behind telling them that I took it and that they were welcomed to come over and stay. So far they haven't and also my mom hasn't returned yet, only confirming my fears. I also have an 8 year old girl named Sam that we found in one of my neighbor's house we searched. She had gray eyes with blonde hair. Now were just waiting for rescue to arrive.
But some crazy stuff has been happening. Freak lightning storms have help destroy many of the alien spaceships and also crazy storms at sea have been destroying Zalikins, or that's what they call themselves. The news keep telling us how there are Marines stationed along the coast to defend from a sea invasion and the army surrounds the city, especially from the south after the aliens took San Diego. The Navy is doing their best patrolling the coast shooting at Zalikin troops near the ocean and shooting missiles at the spaceships.
But the one thing that seems to freak people out the most is the gods. I don't mean alien gods, I mean Greek gods. Yeah you heard me Greek gods, the stuff from myths. At first it was just bizarre stories but then the gods just came out all of a sudden and told us that they have always existed and came to help us fight the aliens. They told us that their children will lead the fight against the aliens and lead us to victory. Well not everyone was excited about the news. The military certainly didn't like it and the idea of having kids lead an army. Stories vary from place to place. In Northern California there is, or was a small army of demigods that fought but they went silent after a week. In New York, where the Zalikins hit hard, there were supposedly hit and run attacks on the aliens by demigods, although it's not really affecting the battle being fought there.
Now every city and country falls every day to these things with little to stop them. I hear that the army is planning on leaving LA. After hearing this I spoke to Adam and we agreed that we had to leave and try and find a way out of the city. We told Sam of our idea he reluctantly agreed, not wanting to leave because she wants to wait for her dad. We pack our bags with what's left of the food and whatever we might need.
After walking for a few hours along the ruined houses we heard a noise. We stopped and turned looking for the source of the noise. We found the source and quickly tried to hide. What we saw were the aliens. According to the news there were two types of aliens, the ones that resembled insects and walked on 4 legs and capable of walking on walls and much stronger than humans. Then there's the ones that walk seem to be a mix of a human and a reptile. The one we saw was the insect ones or a bugger that's what people call them.
We tried our best to move but then Adam tripped and caused the two buggers to look at us. They came charging at us. I told Sam to run and hide in the house to my left. I took out the revolver and tried to aim at the creatures. I shot and missed the first time. I shot four more times and managed to head shot one of them. But I was too slow to kill and the other one and it jumped on Adam and killed him. It ripped him to shreds I couldn't even react. He was my best friend since 1st grade. I saw the bugger look up at me and tried to rush me. Before it could even take 3 steps however I heard several gunshots and the Bugger fell to the floor with violent jerking movements as bullets peppered it.
I just couldn't move. My best friend was gone just like that. I see his body right there, shredded and several limbs snapped. Just then Sam came from behind me and tugged on my hand. I looked in her stormy eyes and picked her up. I called out for the however shot them. Two soldiers came out of a house and walked towards us. One of them pulled out a radio and talked to however it was on the other side.
"Come with us if you want to live," the first one said. I followed them while I carry Sam, trying my best to not look at what remained of Adam.
Well there you go. Sorry if I don't have a lot of Percy or the others. They will make appearances or be mentioned later in the story. Also the Greek gods will play a larger role in the story soon, I promise. This is my first story. Leave a review and tell me what you think of my story.
