/I don't own anything you recognize in this story. /
Morgan stood paralyzed with fear as he watched the alien Ayanna walking slowly to his father, who was probably being hypnotized by Ayanna's overpowering stare that she had given Morgan earlier.
He didn't know what to do, but he felt as if he had to do something. Yet he felt as if he was paralyzed, as if someone had put a curse on him and considering the circumstances, Morgan didn't doubt it.
"Dad," Bo cried near the kitchen door and Morgan had a feeling that she couldn't move, either.
Ayanna quickly turned around and made a strange hissing sound. A chill of fear went down Morgan's spine. He was beginning to hate aliens to a new level and hoped that something or somebody would help him, and soon.
"You are nothing more than a meddling boy," Ayanna hissed, "you always were."
"How about you tell me something new?" Morgan sneered. "You keep repeating yourself. How about you tell me something useful, like how you decided to choose my father for your evil deeds."
"Because he's easy bait. I could lure you and your sister here easily and keep you here. You have seen my people before and I want to get rid of all who's ever seen my kind. Nobody needs to know that we exist. And anyway, your kind is a weaker race. Nobody needs you all to be around," Ayanna explained.
"I wouldn't doubt it," Morgan said bitterly, "but you don't need to kill us all, we never did anything to you."
"Oh, yes you did. Your uncle killed my brother many years ago and you need to pay," Ayanna said.
Turning back to Graham, Ayanna walked slowly towards him, a small, slow grin spreading across her face. Knowing her, the woman probably enjoyed doing this kind of thing and probably did this back where she came from and terrorized the people within a hundred feet from her.
"Now tell me, Graham," she was saying, "where is your brother Merrill?"
"Here in this house," Graham said in a strange mechanical voice which sent shivers down Morgan's spine.
"But where in the house, Graham? There's only so many places he can be and I have searched all over," Ayanna hissed.
"I don't know," Graham said in the same monotone voice.
Ayanna hissed and grabbing the nearest object, threw it across the room against the wall. Morgan flinched, but still didn't move. Even if he did, this crazy thing'd probably kill him.
"Why don't you just leave him alone?" Bo suddenly said. "My dad didn't do anything and your angry because doesn't know anything. He doesn't keep tabs on every single thing that everybody in this house does."
"I wouldn't speak in that tone of voice to me again, little girl, I could easily kill you if I wanted to, you know," Ayanna snapped, turning to Bo.
"And you won't speak to my niece like that again," said a voice from behind Bo.
Morgan turned his head slightly and saw his uncle Merrill standing in the doorway with his bat clutched tightly between his hands. Morgan could hear Ayanna hissing with rage.
"You will pay for this," Ayanna growled.
"Oh, will I? I would like to see you try. Morgan, remember the water," Merrill said and suddenly he spurted foreword and swung his bat as hard as he could at Ayanna.
Ayanna staggered back and hissed with rage as Bo screamed. Morgan's mind raced. The water, why didn't he think of that? Aliens were severely allergic to water and died on contact. There wasn't any time to lose now.
Morgan spurted towards the refrigerator where they kept a pitcher of water as Merrill and the alien Ayanna fought out an all out battle. Flinging the door open, Morgan grabbed the pitcher of water and quickly turned around.
"Morgan, do it now! Throw the water on her!" Merrill yelled as he continued to swing his bat at Ayanna.
But Morgan couldn't. He was starting to feel an asthma attack coming on, but he wasn't anywhere near his medicine. With his free hand, Morgan clutched his throat in agony. It was so painful not being able to breath…
"Morgan, do it now!" Merrill screamed.
His breathing getting shallower by the minute, Morgan tore his hand away and clutched the pitcher with both hands and flung the water at Ayanna. The alien screamed in pain and as she fell down dead, Morgan collapsed on the floor unconscious, not knowing anymore.
