This is the chapter where Bella finally comes in and OMG they find out why they had the weird nightmares!!!!
Sam's POV
I walked into the clubhouse with my bag. The spare mattresses were on the floor and there were blankets on the hover-benches.
Cathy was reading in the corner. Chris was on the super-computer. Danny was looking at the screen. "Hi, guys!" I said cheerfully.
"Mmm."
"Ehh."
"Huh?"
I sighed and put my bag on a mattress.
"Guys?" Cathy said. "I'm going to go meet Bella and her family when they come in their spaceship. You can stay here. I won't be long."
"We can come with you," said Chris.
I wouldn't bet on it. He looked exhausted. So did Danny. I must look tired as well because Cathy said, "You 3 need to get some sleep."
"OK," we said. It's already late. She's probably right. I went into another part of the clubhouse to change. When I came back the boys had changed as well. I got under the blanket on the hover-bench. Chris lay down on the other one and Danny lay down on a mattress. We didn't speak. I was nervous; I could tell they were too.
Narrator's POV
Cathy walked towards the spaceship. 5 people came out. There was Bella's mom, her dad, and her brothers. She was the last to come out.
She looked the same way Cathy remembered, with her scarlet hair cut in a scruffy bob. She kept pushing strands of hair out of her eyes.
Cathy ran up and gave her a hug. "It's so good to see you!"
"It's good to see you too, Cath!"
Cathy started telling her about the other members of the MBC.
"They're in the clubhouse right now, but they're probably asleep. They're exhausted."
"Really? Why?"
"They've been having these weird nightmares lately. They all have a weird symbol burned in their skin."
Bella looked at her. "What kind of symbol?"
"A circle with a spear in the centre."
"I think I know that symbol?"
Cathy gasped. "You do? What is it?"
It's the Zamballians' symbol."
Never heard of them."
"It's not a very big planet. The Zamballians are really dangerous. They mind-control people in their sleep. They give them nightmares about their fears."
"Why?"
"They give them a nightmare to scare them, and then move on to worse methods. They kill them."
"WHAT?!"
Cathy looked scared. "They can only do it in ghost form," Bella continued.
"Ghost form?"
"They have to be in ghost to go to other planets. They can only mind-control in ghost form."
"Why don't they stay like that?"
"They can still get physically hurt, but they can't hurt others physically."
"Bella, we have to get to the clubhouse!"
They ran to the clubhouse as fast as they could
Cathy's POV
I was so scared. What if they got hurt while I was gone?
We snuck in the back door and hid behind the couch.
Sam, Chris and Danny were asleep.
"Maybe they're no here," Bella whispered.
I spotted 3 dark shapes fly through the wall into the clubhouse. They reminded of the dementors from Harry Potter.
Creepy.
They floated towards my friends. You know when people say they're paralysed with fear? That's how I felt. I couldn't move.
They were talking to each other in hoarse voices.
"Which one should we destroy first, boss?" one of them asked.
The leader looked around.
"Him," he said, pointing.
They floated over. One of them threw weird dust over hi head. He coughed.
"What are we going to do?" I whispered to Bella.
"This," she said.
She grabbed a blaster from the floor and blasted the aliens.
"Leave them alone!" she said, blasting at them more.
"They hissed at her angrily and flew out.
I ran up and shook him.
"Danny?"
"Danny! Wake up!"
He sat up, coughing.
"Cathy? Are you OK?" he asked.
I realised that I was crying.
He hugged me. I clung onto him. "It was so scary," I said sobbing. "Th-the aliens...they came…tried to…kill you…"
"Aliens?" He looked around and saw Bella. "Hi. Are you Bella?"
She nodded. "So what aliens were they? Have we fought them before?"
"No."
I managed to stop crying.
"Cathy, you need to sleep. Now."
"What if they come back?"
"They won't, I'm positive," Bella said.
"Your family know where you are. You can sleep here," I said to her.
She nodded. I curled up on my mattress. I was still scared, but Bella knew a lot more than I did. She was probably right.
An hour had passed before I finally managed to get to sleep.
So that's chapter 7 please keep reviewing!
Luv ya all! :))
