Quick Overview: Aboard the alien spaceship, Rebecca learns some of her destiny, although she isn't particularly sure she likes what she must do. But can she intervene with destiny's ways?
Chapter Four
Rebecca sat on her knees in front of a small window, which seemed to be only a rubbery energy field that kept everything in. Her eyes were fixed on the distant planet Earth, surrounded by an enormous mass of black space. She knew well where she was; there was no mystery to it. She placed her hand against the field, the texture being solid but almost watery; from her hand and on the energy field, ripples wrinkled her view of what was outside the alien spacecraft.
Aasim sat down besides her, watching her reaction to the new environment. He clicked at her but she remained immoveable. A space of silence passed between them and finally Rebecca asked, in the alien language, "How did all of these aliens end up on Earth?"
Aasim stood back up, rocking back and forth gently and then answered, "The ones on your planet that we met in the corn field were left from the invasion, as you call it. I was accompanied by the others to meet them. This is the first time we have been able to come to our vessel to discuss our recent situation."
Eyebrows knit together, Rebecca questioned further. "But how come I'm here, too?" She knew the answer or, at least, she had a good hint to what it was.
"You're part of this situation."
She shut her mouth immediately then turned her attention back to Earth. Aasim left her to ponder what he had told her and joined a group of aliens in a far corner.
With Aasim, there were three other aliens that held a strong rank. The obvious leader, who was called Këíhs, was taller than the rest and strongly built. He glanced at the solitary girl and said to Aasim, "Will she cooperate?"
"Most likely," Aasim replied, confidently. "She less human now, she should begin to feel the hate we have towards her planet soon enough." His tone was almost cocky, although Këíhs ignored that.
"The recruits will arrive soon. The attack will be fully planned and ready in three Earth days," said a smaller alien.
"Were the military bases destroyed completely?" Aasim asked.
"The humans are crippled. They won't be able to rebuild what they have lost overnight, let alone, three days. They will be defenseless and won't know what hit them."
"Perfect. We'll meet to discuss this further in one Earth day, agreed?"
Këíhs nodded, contented with the plan so far. "Yes and bring the girl, Aasim. Inform her on her job before then, though."
'The destruction of Earth. How exhilarating!' Aasim thought wickedly to himself. 'Then we can leave for good.'
With a small sigh, Rebecca stood up, moving towards Aasim. She only wanted to be in his presence because she was familiar with him. She partially ignored the other aliens that were talking in clicks and hisses with him and went to his side. "I'd like to go home," she said sternly in English, which confused Këíhs. Her request was far from being childish, however.
Aasim shook his head, apologetically. But his eyes gleamed with something other than regret. And Rebecca saw it clearly and she hated him for it.
Anger flooded over her and Rebecca felt like screaming. What was going on? Why did she have to be there? She took a few steps back, eyes narrowed and glaring at her alien friend. A wave of energy came to her body but it almost vanished immediately.
Aasim jerked his arm to one side, hissing and spitting in rage. Running down his arm was a rather long deep scrape and it was bleeding. He hissed at her, snatching her arm and twisting it against her back. Rebecca screeched in pain until clawed hands gripped her neck. She fought and cursed as Aasim pushed her out of the enormous room and into a long corridor. Many blacks eyes followed them but were cut off by the door moving back into place.
In the hallway, Aasim shoved Rebecca into a smaller room to the left. He closed the door and glared hard at her, even though she glared right back. He shook her roughly, demanding in clicks and hisses, "How-why did you?!" He showed her his arm, revealing the wound.
She avoided eye contact and fidgeted in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to!" she protested. "I just don't get why I have to be here," she whispered, choking back tears. She gazed down at the gash, biting her bottom lip hard until she drew blood. "Honestly, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to." She reached out to touch his arm, deeply regretting what she had done. But before her fingers could touch the scrape, a small light emitted from the tips, disappearing a second later.
Rebecca blinked in amazement and Aasim muttered something. The wound was now completely closed and healed, as if nothing had ever happened. "Aasim..what was that?" The alien didn't answer, just rushed out of the room, sealing the door before she could follow.
Sobbing quietly, Rebecca placed herself by the door, her mind jumbled in confusion. She clenched her teeth as she turned and pounded mindlessly on the platinum door, but to no avail. She was locked in. With a gruff sigh, she slumped against the wall and frowned. It didn't take long for her to realize that she would probably be there for a long time, no doubt about it.
The young girl found herself humming, trying to comfort herself as she rocked back and forth in dismay, almost crying now. She wiped away a fresh trickle of blood that ran from her lip. The blood started to mix with her bitter tears. "It's no fair." she muttered between clenched teeth. With another scream of uncontrollable anger, she elbowed the door, wishing that she could simply get out of the room.
A flash of light illuminated the room she was in and it seemed to flow from her body. A moment later the familiar light was gone but she was in another room. 'I've got to figure out how I do that,' she thought. She recognized the room as the big area where all the aliens met when they were moved from the ground to there. But now it was empty. She smiled and squatted down by the same window she had sat by earlier. However, the only thing she could do was see a dark void and small balls of light. To the left was a ringed planet that she assumed was Saturn. Her lips pursed in frustration and confusion. All she knew was that she was far from home.
With eyes closed tight, Rebecca focused her mind absentmindedly. It almost came automatically. She saw her small room with the large window to one side and could almost smell her aunt making breakfast downstairs. "Home." she whispered. "All I want is to go home." Her eyes snapped open and she darted to her feet.
She was in her room, the distant smell of pancakes coming from the kitchen.
"I'm home," she said, astonished. She clasped a hand over her mouth to stop from screaming and pinched her cheek with the other. And it hurt. So it wasn't a dream at all. Rebecca poked her head out the window and took a breath. Even the air smelt real, which was a really good thing to know.
"So," she said to herself, "If I focus hard enough and think about what I want, it'll come true.just like in fairy tales!" She moved away from the window, looking down at her hands. Her skin was normal. She sighed and crawled into bed after closing the window. "Aasim?" she asked into thin air. There was no answer. She shrugged. "I guess he's still up in space with his friends," she muttered.
Aasim took a blow to his face and staggered backwards. Këíhs spat at him with anger and fury. "What do you mean she just vanished? She wasn't in the room?!" Aasim just shook his head, which sent the alien leader into another heated rampage. "So, the girl's gone. And she has her powers back. I thought you were able to slow that growth down until we needed her powers, Aasim."
"Rebecca has many surprises, I suppose," Aasim hissed back. "She's only back on Earth, we can retrieve her in time," he reassured Këíhs. "I'll retrieve her, I swear."
Këíhs nodded in agreement, although he was still mad. "That you will do. And you better have her back in twenty-four Earth hours or," he paused, glaring ruthlessly at him, "You know what'll happen." Aasim bowed slowly and turned, quickly exiting the room, snarling. Rebecca would have to explain herself and her powers if she expected to live the rest of her life.
