Chapter 1

Adelita was driving home from work. After she passed by some of the stores and some of the houses, she saw smoke nearby and it was past the trees. She continued to drive until she saw that a house was on fire and she also saw a couple crying. She pulled into the neighborhood and parked nearby the driveway. After that, Adelita got out of the car and she asked the couple, "Are you guys okay? Did anybody already called for the firemen?"

"Yes, our neighbor to the left of us called. Our child is in there and she can't get out," the man replied, crying.

"I'm about to go in there," Adelita said, running into the house.

"No, don't go in there. It's too dangerous," the man's partner replied. Adelita had no time to respond back as she had to run into the building.

Flames were blazing everywhere, and she heard the child's cries from one room. She kept searching for them until she saw a crying girl sitting by the refrigerator. Adelita went through the flames and she carried the girl on one of her shoulders. She made sure that the flames did not made contact with the girl's skin. The flames burned Adelita's skin, but she was trying her best to ignore the pain.

"We're going to make it through, okay?" Adelita said as she was making her way out of the house. After Adelina walked out of the house, she had put the girl down on the ground. Adelita passed out in front of them.

Adelita was in the hospital, sleeping in a hospital bed and she was dreaming a very unusual nightmare. She was having a nightmare about an alien who wanted to take over the whole universe and he wanted to make everyone his slaves after he had received a way to obtain immortality.

Adelita woke up and she saw herself on a round bed with black covers. She looked around to see that there were purple walls and some purple automatic doors. She got up and she thought to herself, Where am I?

Adelita remembered that she saved a child from the fire and the last thing she remembered was that she passed out from the fire.

Was I ever taken to the hospital? I know I was having that nightmare, but it's like I'm actually in my nightmare. Am I actually in it?

Then, she went to the door in front of the bed and the door automatically slid to the right, revealing an empty closet.

I have never seen a closet with an automatic door.

She walked to the other door which she assumed was the way out of the room. After the door slid to the right, she saw a man with blue skin with a green braid and earrings walking past her in the hallway.

What? This hallway is also very unusual to me.

He stopped after he heard the door open and he turned his head to see a girl long brown hair with tan skin and brown eyes.

"Who are you and why are you not wearing the armor Lord Frieza assigned everyone to wear?" The blue-skinned alien asked.

Lord Frieza? Who is that?

"Umm, I don't even know how I got here."

The blue-skinned alien didn't know what to do, but he thought that Frieza would know what to do.

"Come with me. I need for you to introduce yourself to Lord Frieza." After the alien said that, Adelita had no choice, but to follow the alien. They kept walking without saying anything to each other until they stopped at the biggest door in the whole place. The door slid open and she saw a huge lair. The lair had the view of outer space and she saw black horns sticking out of a floating object. The floating object turned around and in front of Adelita was a small purple and pink alien with black horns.

The alien in front of her looked just like the one in her nightmare. Adelita shook in fear and she hoped that he didn't kill her on the spot.

"My lord, I have brought you someone who magically appeared in your spaceship," the blue-skinned alien said to Frieza.

"Thank you, Zarbon," Frieza replied, "And who do you happen to be?"

"Adelita," she stuttered.

Frieza saw that she was shaking, so he put on his fake-comforting tone, "My, what a beautiful name. No need to be scared, my dear, you are safe here. You can refer to me as Lord Frieza and you know that that's Zarbon. He will show you around the ship and tell you your daily schedule. Do you have any experience with any fighting at all?"

"No, Lord Frieza," Adelita lied.

"Okay, that's fine. Starting tomorrow, you can help keep the ship in order. Will that be good for you?"

All this time, Adelita wanted to just say that she didn't want to have anything to do with this, but something told her that that would be the biggest mistake she will ever make with him. She was just going to go along with it until she can figure out how she can get out of the ship.

"Yes, Lord Frieza."

"Thank you, my dear. I will see you tomorrow."

Zarbon bowed to Frieza and Adelita followed suit. Adelita then followed Zarbon out of the lair, hoping that the tour will be very short so that she can have time for herself.

While some of the people walking by were minding their own business, some other people were staring at Adelita like they have never seen a human before.

Maybe they have never seen a human before, Adelita thought to herself. After she looked at the people who were staring at her, she minded her own business.
