UNWANTED FEELING'S
KARA
I took a hold of my bag from the ground and ran to Taron's side. "We have to go; my people are on their way",I said whilst looking to the contents of my bag. I raised my head to look at Taron after a short time had passed of silence ness.
Taron was stood motionless with his head slightly pointed down so his chin nearly touched his chest.
I didn't understand what was wrong with him; I raised my hand and placed it gently on his arm, he automatically looked to his arm seeing my hand there and pulled his arm away quickly whilst letting out a loud growl, "Fine Taron, I thought we were friends, it looks like i was mistaken", I angrily said and then walked straight past him, after getting several paces in front of him i stopped and turned back to look at him, he was still in the same position I had left him, I raised both my hands and shook them in a tantrum like way and said ;
"What … what is it Taron, why are you acting like this, especially now we are so close to my pick up point", that's when I realised "that" was the entire problem, he had become so use to my company now and he Knew soon that would be no more and we wouldn't see each other ever again. I walked back to him and stood directly in front of his large figure and raised my hand to his chin lifting his head so he would meet my gaze just like he had done with me earlier, he looked straight to me with a look of surprise in his eyes. I smiled and said in a more understanding tone;
"I will miss you! You know; and no matter how far we are from each other we will always remain friends and who knows maybe we will someday meet again"I said; with an unwelcome pain inside my stomach, because I knew there was very little chance if any, of us ever meeting again. The look in his eyes told me he already knew that. Taron took a deep breath and looked across the clearing, he then took a hold of my hand in his and started walking a few yards he then stopped and looked to the sun set. It was a beautiful site to see as the red and orange colours spilled over the clearing and tinted the grass with this atmospheric glow of warming colours. Taron faced me quickly, his long black dread lock fell forward and rested against his shoulder, he then lifted my hand and placed it on his warm firm chest. I could feel his heart rate accelerated dramatically. He glared at me with those bright amber eyes while twitching his mandibles like he wanted to tell me something. Dreading the words that would come out of his mouth I quickly pulled my hand away from its position, I protested against the situation by saying, "No, Taron don't do this. What ever it is you think you are feeling, it's not, you miss your people that is all, as I do mine", We are friends, and now you must help your friend to her pick up point", I pleaded with him.
Taron had a look of emptiness in his eyes; he looked to the ground whilst shifting his eyes side to side like he was struggling with his thoughts. Taron raised his head slowly to look at me and tightened up his face feelers into what I could only describe as a smile, "We better go", he said in his croaky voice.
We walked for a bit in total silence. I kept looking to him as he walked in front feeling my insides twist for avoiding his words, I was just glad we didn't have far to go now. We had reached a small field and needed to get to the other side and I there would be greeted and taken home by my people.
The sky had become very dark now and my eye sight wasn't that good, Taron obviously new that because he grabbed my hand. I felt quite ridicules as I remembered my lack of night vision is what caused me to fall of the cliff in the forest.
I chuckled a little bit to my self after seeing Taron's smug face in my mind, having pulled me back up the cliff with ease.
I was broken from my little thought when I had crashed into the back of Taron. Why had he just stopped like that?
"Taron what's wrong", I whispered.
Taron started to growl loudly whilst spreading his arms out wide and looking to the tree's that surrounded this field.
"What is it, I can't see anything", I said whilst trying to look through the blackness.
Suddenly bright lights shone in our faces causing pain to my eyes, I raised my hand to shield the light. Several dark figures walked towards us shouting words, I realised it was the humans.
"Dam" they have caught up to us Taron" I said in a rather annoyed tone.
Taron; I think was somewhat ready to take them all on, until he realised each and every one of them had a weapon pointed at his head.
I looked down to my round object on my top's strap ready to press it at anytime, Taron at the same time was also thinking of attacking as he started to raise his blade.
I noticed a single red dot on my round object; I know that wasn't there before. Just at that moment I fell hard to the floor caused by one of the humans firing a single shot to my object, they had also fired a shot in Tarons direction as his blade was a couple of feet from his position. Taron growled and clicked loudly with annoyance, I looked to my object, it crackled as a large gapping hole exposed its electric blue insides.
I started to stand slowly not knowing if the humans would fire again. I looked around seeing more humans than I first thought, they surrounded us in a large circle, I moved a step backwards and stopped when I realised me and Taron were back to back, "Great, just great", I said while folding my arms and leaning my back to Taron's.
I sighed deeply and said; "Well Taron, look another bad situation. I blame you, your just bad luck", I said in a humorous tone.
Taron let out a deep laugh and said; "Well little female with so many hidden talents, do you have anymore?
"Well actually I do. "But", if I do it they will all die, no doubt", I replied.
Taron stood to my side and quickly said; "I don't care, look at them Kara it's them or us. If they don't kill you now, they will eventually in a lab"
Taron was right there was no other choice, as I glanced at the humans faces I could picture Colin's. I was so glad he wasn't among them it would have made it impossible to carry out; I wouldn't want to harm him in anyway.
"Do I have to stay still again",Taron said.
"Not that still, you just have to keep hold of my hand", I said.
"Why? Will you take of or something",Taron stupidly asked.
"No stupid, you will be hurt if you are not in contact with me", I smugly replied.
"Can I hold you properly then?Taron dared to ask.
"No, I will seriously harm you if you even think about that again", I warned.
"Ok, Taron no more talking just let me do this", I said rushing the words out.
I kept a hold of Taron's hand firmly as I glanced at the wide hostile circle of humans, I looked at each face with pity as they had no idea what was about to happen to them…………………………………
HUMAN; COLIN
I looked to the sky and to my amazement where dozens of neon green lights in the sky, they looked like shooting stars but in slow motion.
They looked to be moving in the direction of the clearing. I finally closed my mouth and looked to all the other men, they too where mesmerised by the beauty of the bright green sky. I could only imagine this was something to do with the aliens, maybe their friends were coming to kill us all, maybe they were just getting picked up?
I heard the commanding military officer ask for reinforcements on his large walkie talkie, he gave the location in a strange code type talk.
Some of the military soldiers and officers started making their way through the forest heading toward the clearing; the remaining officers were limping their way in the opposite direction. I presumed the injured were getting picked up and taken back to the lab vacillates for medical care. The dogs seemed to follow the injured men showing no aggression what so ever, the dogs were quite with their heads lowered.
I didn't no what to do, apart of me wanted to head for the clearing as well to see what was going on. "But", a voice in my head told me to keep away. I decided to listen to the cowardly whispers in my head and followed the injured men.
I looked to the sky again as did all the limping men.
It's strangle funny how we humans have longed for the biggest question to be answered; ARE WE ALONE in all this blackness, and when the question is obviously answered by been blessed with an encounter we seem to screw things up, always showing our aggressive, hostile natures.
It wouldn't surprise me if she the alien never came to earth again. And then you wonder; how many times have we been visited and watched? What I mean by that is if you were an alien and you studied man kind and their destructive ways, would you want to say "HI"
"No", I don't think you would!!
TARON
As I was desperately trying to fight my inner struggle I felt a warm feeling on my arm, I looked to its origin "Kara",
She was touching my arm which flooded my body with a tingling sensation. I quickly moved my arm from her touch, feeling very teeth grindingly angry at her for teasing me with her soft touch.
I wanted to be so "SO", so angry at her and have her know it. She asked me what was going on with my strange behaviour; I just turned my back to her feeling ashamed with the struggle I was going through.
I looked to the sunset and then decided I would have to tell her how I was feeling towards her, at least then I would no by her reaction if she felt anything too.
I turned to face her and looked straight into her eyes, which made things much worse as my heart rate accelerated to a speed I didn't think was possible to survive.
