Author's Notes: Do I really need to add anything? There's nothing I want to really say. Oh right. Sorry about these chapters being so late. I had them ready to go on Friday. But my computer just had to break down. Seriously, right at that moment. Now, I finally got it done. Phew. Yes. I know I write shortish chapters, but really, it takes so long to write them and to have them make sense and everything. So yeah. Please don't accuse me! Okay. Here. I'll make it up to you guys. I'll have chapter eight put up on Wednesday. Deal? Okay. Good.
Disclaimers: Okay. Say it with me! I don't own Ben 10 or Ben 10: Alien Force. If you need to get it in your head (which I doubt you do), repeat it a couple more times.
"Gwen. Are you okay?" Josh repeated again.
"Yeah, I guess. It's just I've seen this place somewhere."
"Oh. Well, they used to have drama rehearsals here. They never tore there moon set down, though."
"But it all looks so real..." I looked around again.
"Scared or something?" he teased.
"Psh. No," I responded. That was a complete lie though. I was scared. Just I wasn't sure of what. That nightmare I had didn't exactly have an end, just when my mom called and woke me up.
"Where are the sofas or tables or whatever they have here?" I asked.
"Oh. To tell the truth, I haven't been here in such a long time. They used to be over there," he pointed to his left.
"So it's all abandoned now?" I questioned him.
"Pretty much."
"Um. Okay then," I picked up my drink, or what was left of it. There was about half.
"Quite an accident you had there," he teased. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Should I go ask them for something to wipe it with?" I volunteered.
"Eh. Maybe later."
"Wow. Lazy, aren't we?" I smirked.
"No. Just don't wanna get yelled at the people here," he chuckled.
"Oh. Good point." Suddenly I fell a shiver run down my spine and felt my hands grow hot. I put my drink back down.
"Not thirsty?" he asked.
"Not particularly. I don't know. Something about this place just... Well. Never mind."
He put his drink down too, "What? Tell me."
"Nothing. Seriously. You'll thnk I'm some sort of freak or something."
"Just tell me."
I nibbled on my top lip.
"Bad memories or something?" he questioned.
"Something along those lines."
"Oh. Well. I'm sorry."
"It's cool. Wanna walk around?" I volunteered.
"Sure. It's a pretty amazing set." We left our drinks on the cold floor.
The craters seemed so realistic. It sort of reminded me of the time Ben, Kevin, and I were on the moon with Paradox. Only then we could see a destroyed Earth, here, there were just beautiful stars. I just kept on staring at them. After I tilted my head down, Josh beckoned me with his head. I followed. We walked for about 15 minutes.
"Okay. Why is this place so freakin' big?" I asked. After I asked that, I felt a cool breeze. That didn't make sense. The only way there could be wind is if we were outside.
"I don't know."
"Let's go back."
"Ya sure?"
"Yes. I'm sure. The cold is starting to piss me off."
"Fine." He started walking forward. I was right behind him. Suddenly, my left hand had a pink orb around it. I quickly hid it behind my back. The same thing happened to my right hand.
What was going on? My powers never appeared unless I needed them to. Was something going on? I pulled both of my hands in front of me again and focused on making the orbs disappear. After about 15 seconds, they finally did. Thank god Josh didn't see. He would have thouugh I'm some demented freak. Even though sooner or later, I had a feeling he'd find out anyway.
The wind really was starting to get on my nerves. I looked forward, nothing looked familiar. It just felt like I was lost on the moon. That made no sense, but I had a huge feeling we were going the wrong way.
"Josh? Are you sure we're goin the right way?"
"Pretty sure. Something wrong?"
"No."
He put his arm around my waist. I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Am I not allowed to touch you or something?" I laughed. To tell the truth, I didn't know why I had stopped. My body was acting so weird. It felt as if it was trying to warn me about something. I knew that sounded riducilous. But when you're part alien, anything could happen. The next thing I knew, he pulled me in for a kiss. I started kissing him back.
His lips were warm, like always. I put both of my hands on the back of his neck. Both of his arms wrapped themselves around my waist. I deepened the kiss. Suddenly I felt a really painful pinch on my waist.
I pulled away and shrieked, "OW!"
"What's wrong, babe?"
"That hurt."
"What's your point?" He tried to grab me again. I back up. He just kept on approaching. My mind was going blank. I knew I had experianced something like this before. For some reason, I couldn't remember. What was wrong with me?"
I tripped back on a crater and fell back. Quickly, I got up on my feet again and ran to my left.
"Gwen. Are you scared of me or something?" he asked. I heard his voice rasp.
"You're not yourself," I looked back at him. Suddenly i crashed into a wall. I didn't fall this time though. What the hell was a wall doing on the moon anyway? He was approaching.
"I'm perfectly normal," he rasped aagain. I tried to figure out where to run, but by the time I decided, he was within 5 feet of me. It occured to me where I had seen this before. It was just like in my nightmare with Kevin. But was Josh really a... DNAlien? I had no idea what to do. So I did the first thing that came to mind. It wouldn't matter if my secret got out. My fists became pink orbs, I blasted at Josh. He flew back about 50 yards. I ran up to him and blasted him again. This time, he bore into the ground/floor/whatever. He moaned. I felt so heartless, but I knew something was wrong with him.
The 3rd time, I blasted his face. Then I froze in my tracks, my hands flew up to my mouth and I gasped. There was a mask laying on the ground, right next to it, was a DNAlien.
DUN DUN DUN! Okay. Now that is definitely a cliff-hanger. I bet a bunch of you are jumping around in your seat going "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" Not surprised though. A lot of you were forming really good theories. I'm not gonna sit here and list all those people. You know who you are. If you really want me to say that you knew everything. Leave a review saying that! Heck with it! Leave a review anyway, it makes me happyful. Yes, that is now a word. Okay. So leave a review. Just like I promised, there will be a new chapter up Wednesday! So yeah! See ya (not really. but you know what I mean) then! Ta-Ta!
