Alliance 4

James

So we stayed the whole week at the lab, it was either that or being "melted" constantly back and forth. And none of us were fond of that feeling so we stayed. Kittos even made these rooms in the lab for us. It looked just like our bedrooms at home. Mine, even had a poster, of the legend himself, Wayne Gretzky.

Me, Larrissa, Eric and Anna got on surprising well. That was pretty strange, because we were all so different. Although, as the week passed, I was getting annoyed with Larrissa. All of us were, she constantly complained. She was pretty but for at least part of the time, her attitude stunk.

I hate to admit this but out of everyone, I was the weakest. Anna had already got her psychic power and now she could stay invisible for about a minute. Larrissa was great at turning things into other things and going into her Witchen form. And Eric was getting stronger by the day. But, me? I didn't even have my speed yet. I could only freeze the others for a couple of seconds.

The main thing that all of us, well except Larrissa, were trying to do was turn into our real species. Larrissa could do it easily, but the rest of us could do about half of our bodies. Kittos said it was critical that we transform as we were weaker in out human bodies. I don't think he meant to insult us, but it sure felt like it.

It was very weird turning into a Elliese, it's body looked like jelly but was actually quite solid and easy to move in. But the one thing, I didn't get was the fact how I had my senses without having eyes or eyes or anything. As I said it was very weird. By the end of the week all of us could transform, not very quickly, but still could do it. The week had been very exhausting, not only did we train and practice but we also had lessons about alien stuff.

I liked all the training that we did, it made the whole thing seem a lot more normal. But of course all that changed on the last day. We were in that part of the lab where those strange tables were, and Kittos was briefing us on our very first mission. We were just going to steal, the Hatriaee's new invention. A Syctcaybla, not exactly but that was the way Kittos pronounced it.

This was going to be easy he said, that we were going to be in any particular danger. Kittos showed us a picture of the Hatriaee space ship. It looked nothing what you expect a space ship to look like. I mean, you usually think flying saucer but this looked like a silver ball and it looked like jigsaw puzzle put together. "Now this will be your mission, a very easy one as well. Do not disappoint me or yourselves. You will now transform into your natural form.

Thinking back, Kittos had really sounded like a army general. But that thought was not on my mind as I went from being human to a big jelly mass. Larrissa was already done, before we were even half way through. Kittos waited until everyone was done, namely me. "I will now transport you there. Oh great, I thought. The other moaned and complained as well.

We had arrived at the Hatriaee's ship, we were in a weird looking hallway. By weird looking, I meant the walls were all coloured with this Partridge family pattern and were curved as well. And there was no floor, nothing I could see at least, well it must have been invisible. I looked down and I could see, many pig-like creatures. They were bright red, has spikes along their back and this devilish tail. They either didn't see us, or they couldn't be bothered walking up.

I didn't feel good either. The "melting" thing was bad. But this was much, much worse. It was like a very bad headache, but I could see images in my head. Images that weren't meant to be there, a barn filled with animals in cages I think, four kids as well. At first I tried to shake it off, but it wouldn't go away and I barely notice that the others looked distracted as well.

Then I saw two girls, two guys, a hawk and this weird alien. Sort of a cross between a deer, a human with a scorpion tail. All this was happened as we made it down the hallway, each step, though I sort of glided, was torture. The headache was becoming more than a headache, like a stabbing at my head. The others were getting worse as well, we barely made it to the room where the Syctcaybla was kept. Then all of us just collapsed. What was happening?

/ This is story I wrote four, almost five years ago, back when there are no chapter ability. I finally decided to put it into proper format. Excuse the poor writing :P /
