The boys explained that they wanted to drop by and see the girls before heading home, which meant that we were taking the long way around. And in all honesty, I could not be bothered "A'right darling, you can let me down now" I said, patting Moses' shoulders. His grip loosened, allowing me to slide down his back onto the floor.
"Where you goin'?" Pest asked curiously, noticing that I was heading straight up, instead of turning right.
"Home. No offence, but I'm freezing and not in the mood to take the long way. Sorry lads" I shrugged, he nodded in understanding.
"Later Mika" Dennis nodded.
"Hmm, I'll tell dad you're fixin' your bike or something" I reassured, he nodded in thanks.
"Bye boys" I waved, walking backwards.
"Bye Mika" They replied in unison, I smiled in amusement and headed home.
- Short While Later -
Lying down on the living room sofa, I stared at the telly boredly. It had been about twenty minutes since I'd gotten home, and nothing was on the TV. The front door slammed open and I jumped, rolling my eyes as Dennis ran in. Dad was in the kitchen cooking himself some tea, and mum was out working "What's going on?" I asked as my brother passed by, rather quickly might I add.
"There's more aliens" he replied, pausing to explain.
"I'm coming with you" I announced, pulling on my trainers.
"No Mika" he said.
"Give me one of the swords and suck it up bro" I shrugged, tilting my head and crossing my arms.
"Fine" he sighed, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
"Dennis, Mika! Take your dog out!" Dad demanded.
"We can't!" I replied.
"I'm not asking!" I rolled my eyes and grabbed Pogo's leash off the hanger.
"Pogo come on" I called, crouching down to the floor. The black and white spotted Rottweiler ran towards me, his long pink tongue hanging out "Good boy" I giggled, clipping the leash onto his red collar.
"Mik' man hurry up!" Dennis exclaimed impatiently.
"Fine" I sighed, rising to my full height. He sighed in relief and we exited the flat.
Apparently Dennis and the boys were in a hurry, as we got down those stairs in about 10 seconds. It was saying something considering we lived on the 9th floor, and there were 19 floors all together. As soon as we got outside I found the rest of the boys already there, each of them on their own vehicle...except Biggz. Moses had a BMX, Pest had a BMX, Dennis had his Pizza-Delivery scooter and Jerome also had a BMX. I assumed Biggz was riding with him as he was the only one with pegs on the back wheels "What's she doin' 'ere?!" Biggz asked with wide eyes.
"She wanted to come, stop hypin' man" Dennis shrugged, mounting his scooter. I placed Pogo into the delivery box, settling myself behind Dennis.
"Let's go kill dem man! Kill dem all!" Pest exclaimed excitedly, I rolled my eyes at her hyperactive behaviour and we took off down the street.
- A Few Minutes Later -
We soon arrived at our destination, the park, and rode towards a large boulder. But as we got closer, I realised it was a meteor. It was steaming slightly, and some pieces were still glowing from previously being on fire "Yo shine the light" Moses said. Dennis moved forward, shining the scooter light on the meteor.
It appeared to be cracked in half, and some kind of fossil had dented the inside walls. Swinging one leg over, I cautiously approached the meteor. The fossil looked like the little-white-alien the boys had killed before, but with a small twist; It was bigger...much, much bigger "Right now I feel like going home, lockin' my door and playin' FIFA" Biggz admitted. A loud roaring echoed through the park and we all lifted our heads, staring at the direction it had come from. Pogo barked, jumping out of the box and running towards the towers.
"Pogo no!" I screamed, moving forward to chase my beloved dog. But I didn't even get three feet before someone dragged me back.
"Don't Mika" Moses said, his arms tightening around my waist. Something large jumped down from one of the towers, and Pogo's whimpers rang out.
"No!" I shouted, tears filling my eyes.
"Pogo!" Dennis shouted, just as infuriated.
"What's it doin'? Where's it gone man?" Biggz asked nervously.
"It's coming!" Moses exclaimed, his grip on my waist loosening slightly. Two neon-blue dots appeared in the distance and I squinted, guessing that they must've been the creatures eyes.
"I can see it's eyes" Dennis said in slight awe.
"Not sure them thing's is eyes" Moses said, shaking his head. The eyes seemed to stretch wider, until we realised exactly what they were. They weren't eyes, they were teeth...razor-sharp teeth. A lour screeching sound rang much, much like the littler aliens screeches. The boys jumped, immediately mounting their vehicles again.
"Mika! Get the fuck on this bike!" Dennis shouted. Without any hesitation, I jumped onto the scooter and we took off.
- A Few Seconds Later -
As we drove down the street, loud police sirens reached my ears. Looking back, I realised that a large police van was chasing after us "Mik' hide your face!" Dennis instructed. I hid my face in his back, hoping to god that the coppers didn't see me. We drove up onto the walkway and jumped off the bikes/scooters, ducking behind the wall. But as I was about to hide, I realised that the police were arresting Moses...he'd been caught "Yo fuck the 5o!" Pest shouted angrily, the boys shushed him and pulled him down behind the wall.
"Oi behind the cars, check it!" Dennis said pointing, we looked to see the alien running down the path towards the police van.
"The roof!" Biggz exclaimed, I looked to see one crawling down the side of the building too. Glancing behind me, I double-checked to make sure none of those things were advancing towards us. But as I inspected our surroundings, a banging sound caused me to jump in surprise. I turned my head to see one of the aliens had pinned a copper to the back of a van. Another appeared, jumping onto the one near the door, the one on our view. Using it's jaws, the alien proceeded to rip out his stomach and throat. Horrified at the scene, I screamed. But a hand quickly covered my mouth, turning my head away from the mauling.
"Mik', look at me yeah" Dennis demanded, I nodded and stared at him "You gotta be quiet, don' want dem fings to know we're 'ere" he sighed. I nodded again, tears rising in my eyes.
"Shit man! The fed's got savaged, we need to help Moses man!" Pest exclaimed.
"No way brov, I ain't going no where near none of that" Jerome objected.
"How do we help him?" I asked, wiping a few running tears away from my cheeks.
"Fink, what scared the other one" he re-capped, digging through his backpack.
"Bangers ain't gonna do nothin' fam!" Dennis exclaimed.
"I ain't talkin' 'bout bangers" Pest shrugged, pulling out a large firework. Dennis shoved a hand into his coat pocket, eventually pulling out a well-decorated lighter. Pest held the large banger, while Dennis attempted to light it.
"Hold it man!" Dennis exclaimed irritatedly.
"I'm the one with the shakes you hold it steady" Pest replied defensively. Rolling my eyes, I took both objects from the boys. I easily lit the banger, standing up for a moment to throw it down towards the van. The boys popped up either side of me, and we watched the firework go off, causing smoke to flood around the police van. Alien screeching was heard and I realised that the fireworks was actually effecting them "Go on Mika" Pest nodded impressively, I smiled.
"Yo cover me fam!" Dennis said, he climbed onto his scooter and my eyes widened.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" I asked nervously.
"Keep an eye on Mika!" Dennis exclaimed before speeding down the walkway.
"Dick head!" I shouted angrily. Running my hands through my frustratedly, I reluctantly watched from my spot on the walkway with the other three.
The smoke had, by this point, completely covered the van. I couldn't see it at all, which was a little worrying considering my brother was about to ride into it. He soon disappeared into the smoke, a samurai sword aimed out. Pest and Biggz took out two small-ish rockets, lighting them and shooting them towards the van in hopes to scare away the aliens. Judging by the screeches, I guessed that they were working "Fuck, fuck, fuck" I muttered, biting on the sleeve of my jumper nervously. After a few seconds, the police van sped off down the street, and with the wild driving it was obvious that my brother was at the wheel.
"Eh it's Dennis!" Biggz exclaimed, holding his phone to his ear.
"Tell him he's a fucking idiot" I snapped, crossing my arms angrily.
"He's a'right Mik', calm down" Pest shrugged, picking up his BMX.
"He said to meet 'im at the garages" Biggz explained, pocketing his phone.
Jerome and Pest climbed onto their BMXs', driving down off the walkway. Biggz and I were left to run, but as we reached the bottom I realised Dennis had left behind his scooter "I'm driving" Biggz stated, lifting the scooter. Rolling my eyes, I spotted a familiar snap-back on the floor.
"Oi, ain't that Moses'?" I asked curiously, gesturing to the hat.
"Nice eye Mik', he'll want dis" Biggz picked up the hat, handing it to me as he mounted my brothers scooter. Once he was settled, I climbed on behind, wrapping both arms around his waist "Comfy?" he asked.
"Not the time" I sang, he nodded in agreement and we sped down the road.
