A/N: Guess who's back? ME! Yeah that's right new story here :D But updates maybe pretty far apart, the classes I am taking are pretty tough. Anyways, on with the story.

I taped my pen on the desk. I was so bored. This desk job did not deserve my awesome brain, yet here I am, sitting at a computer, doing extremely boring tasks.

"Gilbert stop that taping and get back to work!" That was the voice of my very angry boss, Roderich.

Rolling my eyes I put down the pen and looked at the numbers on my screen. I hate math so much but this job has good pay so that is why I went to college to be an accountant. I hovered my hands over the keyboard, thinking of what should be done next when something caught my eye.

I looked out the window of my office but nothing was there. I was about to blame my hair for being in the way when I saw a triangular aircraft fly by my window. I got up out of my chair and ran to the glass. The aircraft was making circle around city hall, a lot of people gathered around my window to watch the sight.

Then it happened. The first shot of many. A lazer shot at city hall, making the old building burst into flames. I ran out of my office, all of my other colleges stayed to watch the show. I knew that if they just shot a building right next to ours, we were going to either be next or get caught in the fight of the air force and that... Thing.

My legs carried me down the steps from the fourth floor to the lobby as quickly as they could. I ran out the door and began to sprint home. I wasn't going to risk it with a car, that thing would be a bomb on wheels.

I ran for twenty minutes, I passed many police cars and firetrucks headed to the centre of town. I fumbled with the keys to my house but got them in and opened the door.

The house was dark and silent, my brother was at his job as a police officer. I went into the living room and turned on our small TV and switched to the news channel. As expected the problem in the centre of town was being filmed. There were some new developments. The building I was in was being destroyed by these things that looked like people.

They looked like people only they had another set of arms that stretched out and these arms were destroying the concrete base of the building like a Lincoln log house. The arms came out of their backs and were a light blue colour.

Some of these creatures were stretching their legs out like stilts and grabbing people out of the windows of the building. The people were then flung to the ground , ending up as red puddles on the concrete. I couldn't watch anymore and turned off the TV.

It wasn't safe to stay up here. I grabbed my hiking backpack and began to fill it with all the food I could find in the house, it wasn't much. I ran upstairs to my room and grabbed some clothes and underwear. I then grabbed a few water bottles and filled them with water. I heard some chirping and remembered that Gilbird was upstairs in his cage.

I ran and freed him from the prison that my brother probably put him in. The yellow puff of feathers flew out and sat on my shoulder.

"Are you ready to go into the bomb shelter Gilbird?" I asked the little blob of yellow.

"Cheep!" Was the response I got.

I walked outside and moved a few bushes in our backyard, looking for the metal door that came with the house. After a few minutes I found it and it took all of my strength to lift the lid. After I opened the door I stepped onto the ladder and closed the shelters door behind me. When I reached the bottom I took off the backpack and sat in the corner of the shelter, waiting for my brother to come back from protecting the town.

A/N: I am happy to be back. Look out for the next chapter!
