Location: Warfield, Kentucky, United States, Terra
The rain began to fall, and the sound of rain hitting the roof of the car made everything soothing.
"Sorry this had to happen, honey," Colleen Horrigan apologized to her eight-year-old daughter Kaylin. She turned to the back seat and saw Kaylin listening to her Walkman CD player, but she was able to hear her mother and replied, "It's okay!" Colleen smiled.
Once they got to their location, a small recreation center, they rushed inside. Inside the rec center was a basketball court, a game room, and a meeting room. Kaylin's mother told her to just go find her friends and play with them. She smiled and went off. Just as Kaylin was out of earshot, Colleen ran by the restrooms and pulled out a device from her jacket pocket and spoke into it. "I'll be leaving as soon as possible. You can take over afterwards," she said to it. A Southern accented voice replied back, "Ya sure ya wanna do this, Col?"
Colleen looked over to where her daughter was with her friends in the game room. She nodded, despite the fact that the person at the other end of the receiver could not see her do it and said, "...Yes."

The rec center was getting near closing time. Kaylin grabbed her backpack and checked to see if everything was in it; she checked her red bandana, her Walkman CD player and headphones, her jacket, her plush husky dog, her glass case with her sunglasses, and her sketchbooks and pencils. Kaylin wasn't sure why her mom had asked her to pack all of this but she didn't seem to mind it. Kaylin adjusted her glasses, zipped her backpack and went out to look for her mother.
After five minutes of searching, it seemed as though her mother wasn't in the center. She shrugged and assumed that she went out to pull up the car. Kaylin went up to the door and saw their car. The rain kept falling hard.
However, as soon as she got out the doors, her mother took off. Scared, Kaylin started running after the car. "MOMMY! MOMMY!" she cried. She ran through the pouring rain screaming for her mom to stop the car. Kaylin ran and ran until her legs couldn't keep going.
Kaylin cried out for her mother but the car was already out of her sight. She was lucky the heavy rain was drowning out her sobbing and crying. Kaylin then quickly took shelter under a bus stop bench. The roof at least stop the rain from drenching her.
After shaking off the water, she shivered and curled up in a ball, pulling her knees close to her chest and put her face against them. She cried again.
She wondered why her mother would leave her just now and not say anything to her before hand.
Night fell and it was still pouring down rain. Since Warfield was such a small town, hardly anyone was out at night time, with the exception of the miners heading home. Following this fact, Kaylin has never known her father since the day she was born. She remembered how her mother had described him as "handsome and beautiful as silver". Kaylin sighed at this thought and put her forehead back against her knees and tried to close her silver eyes.
Suddenly, a bright light had woken her up. She looked up and saw some sort of aircraft hovering a few yards above her. She hesitantly walked out and approached the mysterious aircraft. Despite being a fan of mythology, astrology, the super and paranormal, and UFOlogy, she has never seen anything like this.
Before she could make her next move, all she could see was white light, and nothing else more.
