~~~Chapter Seven~~~


~~~Previous~~~


"It's just as I thought," Seth says. "No human is going to help us, Sara. Especially not this human." Seth gestures to Jack.

I blink my eye lightly. I don't exactly see myself as human anymore. Especially since I am immortal and can't die. But then, again that is to be expected as I walked to my death but chose to get up once again instead of joining the rest of my family on the other side.

"Hey, easy on the 'human' bashing, okay, some of my best friends just happened to be human," Jack says annoyed. "And even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't even know where to start! I don't know anything about UFOs or aliens or-"

"Who's doctor Alex Friedman?" Sara asks cutting Jack off after reading his mind.

"She's actually someone who can help. And for the record, she just happened to be human." Jack points out, putting the extra emphasis on 'human' as he looks towards Seth.


~~~Present~~~


My eyes flicker open and I blink surprised as I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep in the first place. Once again, I release I am resting on something warm. I look up to see that I am sitting in Seth's lap with my head resting against his chest when I remember being in the middle seat.

Seth looks back down at me and his cheeks go pink before he looks away. I blink a few times before placing my head back on his chest and look down at Teddy to see that he is actually awake. He lets out his cute coo before looking at Seth, his eye flashing gold briefly as he does. He soon loses interest and begins playing with my braid instead.

"Good morning," I say softly when I notice that Sara, at the moment, is asleep.

"Good morning," Seth says softly back.

I hear the dog let out a growl and I turn to see that he is glaring at Jack from the passenger seat. "Sara," Jack says.

Sara, who is now awake, look at the dog. "He would appreciate if you could pull over so he can relieve himself," Sara says causing me to chuckle softly.

"Well, we don't have time for that. He should have gone before we left Stoney Creek." Jack counters causing me to roll my eyes.

The dog growls again. "He isn't pleased with your attitude," Sara says.

"Really? Is that the way he feels? Well, you remind him that I'm a man and he's a dog." Jack says, emphasizing the word 'dog' "And I'm not about to have this or any conversation with a dog." Again 'dog' was emphasized. "So, my answer is still no." This time 'no' was emphasized as he looks toward the dog with his eyebrow raised before looking back at the road.

It isn't long before Jack pulls over and lets the dog out. Both Jack and Sara wait outside the cab as the dog does his business. The dog comes running back in with a pleasing bark and places himself back on the seat.

"Junkyard says 'thank you'," Sara says.

"Did he now?" Jack says. "Is there anything else he wants?" He asks sarcastically.

Sara leans forward and looks at Junkyard before moving back up and looking at Jack. "He said he would love a bone or a meaty treat?"

I let out a soft chuckle and I see a small smile appear on Seth's face in response.

"Top of my to-do list," Jack says. "Just get in." Sara does and Jack closes the door behind her before getting back in the driver seat.

We head off once again, down a few dirt roads before we finally make it to the highway and then to the civilization of Las Vegas.

Jack pulls into the front of an entertainment centre and we all get out of the cab. Jack walks up to a Valet parker and hands over some money. "I need you to keep the cab close and get the dog some water and…" He trails off and looks at Junkyard who let out a cheeky bark from the window. Jack looks back at the valet. "…give him a meaty treat." He pats the valet on the shoulder, who looks at Jack confused.

We walk inside to see that it is crowded. Jack places his over Sara's shoulder. "Okay. Stay close to me, don't talk to anyone. Nice and normal."

Seth wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me close to his side as we head up the escalator and head up to the second floor. We follow down a few hallways until we finally came to a theatre door with the name 'Dr Alex Friedman' on a board placed in front of it.

A woman stands on the stage drinking a cup of coffee. She has short, dark red hair and she is wearing a light blue button-down shirt, a black skirt and flats.

She looks up when we walk in. "The cattle mutilation lecture doesn't start for another hour but have a seat. It's packed, it always is." She says before dumping her coffee in a waste bin.

"We're here to see you, actually," Jack admits.

"Oh." She says, chuckling slightly.

"Jack Bruno, we met earlier." Jack states.

"We did?" She questions.

"Cab? Airport to hotel? Driver?" Jack says, making motions with his hands.

Recognition fills her eyes. "Oh, the non-believer." She chuckles again. "What are the odds?"

"Hey, is there someplace we could talk?" Jack asks.

The doctor looks at the empty seats before looking back at Jack. "The crowd in here making you uncomfortable?"

"Even more private than this," Jack replies.

"Look, no offence but I'm…" She trails off and she turns around to walk off.

"She's doubting her thesis on Gliese 581 and Alcubierre's warp drive." Sara abruptly says causing us all to turn and look at her.

Dr Friedman turns slowly to look at Sara, shock across her face. "How did you know that?"

"It gets better," I add softly.

We leave the room and find ourselves in a Mars exhibit which, luckily, isn't opened for another two hours. Seth, Sara and I wait while Jack fills Alex in on everything that has happened today.

"Are you insane?" Alex asks once Jack was done.

"I thought you of all people would know what to do and want to help!" Jack admits, gesturing to the siblings.

"Why, because I'm a nut job speaking at a UFO convention?" Alex counters annoyed. Jack opens his mouth but Alex cuts him off before he could say anything. "Don't answer that." She says causing Jack to close his mouth.

"I know. It sounds really crazy." Jack says.

"You think? Hey! Please don't touch that." Alex says as she points at the Sara and Seth. I turn to see that the pair of them are fiddling with her computer.

"You-you captured an image of our ship," Seth says as he turns the computer to show her.

She looks at the screen, "The smudge? You're telling me, you think the smudge is your spaceship?"

"We don't think it's out spaceship. We know it is our spaceship." Sara says excitedly causing me to smile.

I look at Alex along with Jack, but she doesn't look impressed but rather annoyed. "That's it. I'm out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll just grab my laptop and-" She goes to push Seth's hand off her laptop but Seth's hand just phases through causing her to gasp and drop her laptop. Luckily, Sara stops the laptop before it could hit the floor and hovers it back into Alex's hands.

"Oh, they can also do all this stuff too," Jack says causing me to nod my head in agreement. "They can. It's quite cool."

Alex looks up from her laptop to look at Sara and Seth. "Who are you?"

Sara and Seth look at each other and I have no doubt are speaking to each other telepathically. "Show her," Sara says out loud.

Seth turns to look at me and I smile softly and nod. He reaches into his pocket and takes out a device and places it on the table where the laptop previously was. It opens and with a flash of light the whole room changes.

Looking around, I could see stars, planet and even moons. This is amazing and so beautiful. I think as I look around in amazement along with Jack, Alex and Teddy who is still awake letting out his coos as he reaches out towards the stars.

I caught Seth staring at me intently again causing a small smile to appear on my face as I gaze back at him before continuing to look around.

Of course, I didn't realize Jack saw our exchange of looks but pretended to ignore it until later on.

I look around and catch the look Jack and Alex exchanges as she covers her mouth in excitement and was trying to hold herself together.

"This is huge!" She suddenly exclaims causing a smile to appear on Jack's face. Alex walks over to Sara and Seth. "I have so many questions. Even though you are the answers, here standing right in front of me." Jack clears his throat and gives her a look causing a giggle to escape my throat.

"Yeah, sorry. I'm just excited." She says. "Where-where are you from?"

Sara points upwards at the simulation of Earth. "Our planet is located some three-thousand light-years from earth." She says.

I don't know why, but for some reason, I think I know which one is their planet. I take a step forward as the galaxy in the room spun and I point up at a planet that is almost identical to Earth. "This one?"

Both Seth and Sara looks at me. Seth's eyes widen in surprise, but Sara doesn't seem surprised at all. They share a look before nodding their head. Jack looks at me curiously, but I just shrug my shoulders.

"Space travel of such sizable distance-" Alex begins.

"Is possible using a paradoxical passage in thee unbound-" Seth interrupts her.

"Wormholes!" Alex interrupts him and lets out a happy laugh. "My presentation at the national convention was right. Interstellar is possible using wormholes as a short-cut through space!"

"Uh, that was my first guess as well, wormholes," Jack says causing me to look at him with an eyebrow raised. "Continue, Doctor."

"Why did you come to Earth?" Alex asks them.

"Our planet is dying," Sara admits causing my eyes to widen in surprise. "Millenia of neglect has rendered our atmosphere unbreathable."

"Well, that sounds familiar," Alex says.

"Our parents are scientists who have studied Earth's changing climates in hopes of finding a solution for our planet's future." Seth continues.

"Our people's fears began to rise and then our parents discovered something out leaders were very interested in," Sara says excitedly.

"Your planet makes a suitable living environment for our kind," Seth says, hesitantly. "It would be simplest to abandon our planet and—" Seth pauses briefly, "-occupy yours."

"Okay, so wait, I'm helping you conquer my own planet?" Jack asks.

"No!" Sara denies. "Most people on our planet are fiercely opposed to this plan."

"But fear of extinction triumphed among our people," Seth admits.

"And then our parents discovered a solution." Sara continues. "An experiment as an outpost here was successful in generating life into previously dying plants and trees."

"Which would enable the re-oxygenating of the poisoned atmosphere," Alex says.

"So, the problem?" I question softly.

"Our military." Seth answers. "They preferred a solution of invasion over science."

"Which is why we had to hurry on retrieving the experiment," Sara says.

"The device from the shack…and the plants underneath. That was your parents' experiment?" I query causing both of them to nod.

Sara reaches her hand into her pocket and takes out the device. "All proof that our planet can be saved, and your planet spared is in here." She holds the device up.

"Where are your parents again?" Jack asks.

"They were arrested for their opposition," Sara replies upset.

"We agreed to complete the task for them," Seth admits.

"What about the assassin?" I ask.

"Wha- assassin? What assassin?" Alex asks in astonishment.

"The Siphon warrior series Deranium 75 was created by our military," Sara explains.

"They bred to hunt?" Alex queries.

"They bred to kill." Seth corrects immediately. "If we don't return home in time, the invasion will proceed."

"We seriously need to find your spaceship," I suggest and they both nod their heads.
