Mushi-SanBan: Yay! Chapter 4 up! I bet you'll guess what movie this is from in no time!

Chapter 4: Kuki's dream

Kuki found herself in a boarded up room with a little boy, her dad, and her uncle. Something or someone was beating against the walls outside. Her heart was beating faster and faster by the minute.

" They'll figure out a way in eventually. " said her uncle, Haru.

" Yeah, and we left our foil hats upstairs. " said the little boy.

Her dad pulled the boy toward him, holding firmly onto his shoulders.

" Keitaro, I want to tell you what happened when you were born." Kuki's dad, Ryu, said, " You came out crying loudly and your mother kept bleeding. "

There was a very loud thump from upstairs and Keitaro looked up at the ceiling.

" They're getting smarter." Haru said. Kuki was very scared now. She had no idea what was happening. And who was this Keitaro guy that her father was talking to? This was all so confusing.

Ryu gently grabbed Keitaro's face and pulled it back to where it was facing his. "Look at me, please. Don't pay attention to them right now. The doctor said that your mother was fading and that she wasn't going to make it through the night, but then they put you into her arms and she smiled down at you and you stopped crying. You looked back up at her and she quit bleeding. The doctor said she was going to make a full recovery."

There was an even louder noise from upstairs and Haru said, " They're inside! We have to get to the basement! "

Everyone ran to the basement and Haru jabbed a board underneath the doorknob. " That should stall them for a while." he said. Then something started beating against the door, which startled everyone.

Ryu put his hands on Kuki's shoulders and turned her toward him.

" Kiyoshi, I want to tell you what happened when you were born too. " he said.

Why is he calling me Kiyoshi? Kuki thought. She didn't say anything to him. She just stared blankly into his eyes.

" When you were born you weren't even crying when you came out of your mother. They handed you to her and as she was looking down at you admiring how beautiful you were, you smiled at her. " Ryu continued, " They said babies that young couldn't smile. You amazed everyone."

The beating at the door quit and the power suddenly went out. It was a struggle to find some flashlights, and they only found two. Kuki had one and so did Haru. There was the sound of metal rattling and and they both pointed their flashlights at Keitaro. Everyone gasped as two gray, scaly-looking arms slowly made their way through the chained up coal shoot.

" What?" Keitaro said.

The hands grabbed Keitaro and Kuki ran toward him with an old baseball bat she had found in the corner just now. WHAM! She hit the creature's hands and it screeched in pain as it quickly dropped Keitaro.

" The old coal mine! I forgot that they used to store coal down here!" Ryu shouted as everyone ran to it, stacking up everything in sight in front of the opening.

After hours of silence everyone figured that the creatures had left and went back upstairs, but they had no idea how wrong they were! As they entered the living room, Keitaro was grabbed by - an alien?!

It was all so clear to Kuki now. The Earth was being taken over by aliens! Kuki wanted to scream, wanted to run away, but her feet were stuck to the floor. That's when she noticed the cups of water. A whole bunch of cups of water all around them.

" Dad!" she said, " The water!"

Ryu seemed have figured out what she was talking about right then and there. He rammed the alien into the television set, sending about seven of the cups down on it. It screamed and rolled over in pain.

That's It! Water's their weakness! Kuki thought.

Mushi-SanBan: So did you guess the movie? Signs! That's the movie! And I know, I've changed a couple of parts around in their dreams since everytime you have a dream about a movie you watched it's not exactly like it. R&R pleez
