I starred down at the black-haired person below me. Its hands were over its head and it was trembling non-stop. No matter what planet you go to, one thing never changes. The signs of fear. Well, maybe not every planet since irkens don't have fear. But whatever, I could tell this thing was afraid.
It peaked up at me from behind its figures. Gasping, it tried to stand up but ended up falling back on to the ground. It was facing me now, giving me a chance to see it up close. I could tell it was a female with not-quite shoulder length black/brown hair and a darker shade of skin. Her eyes were in a different shape then most of the people on Earth I've seen so far. They were almond shaped...and brown. Like mine! I wonder if this is a rarity on Earth like on Irk. I leaned in to take a good look at her brown eyes. This seamed to make her uncomfortable, she quickly turned away and closed them.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came to my leg! It took me a minute to register what had happened, she kicked me! That girl kicked me! She quickly got on her feet and took off into the woods.
Not so fast! I extended a spider leg from my PAK and sent it quickly in her direction. Gottcha! It rapped around her waist and brought her flying back to me! She screamed and yelled "Help! Help! Kokua a'u!". She kicked her legs and desperately tried to break free, even though she was suspended in the air a few good feet. I brought her back down to my size and looked her straight in the eye, she quite trying to break free and inhaled deeply to catch her breath. "Hello..." I said to her.
She gulped, and whispered "Hello" back. I looked are her for a few minutes and decided that it would be better to study her if she was dead. Picking up the gun that fell out of my hands when she kicked me, I aimed it at her.
"No! Don't!" she screamed, "Please! I...I'm sorry! I was just curious...I mean I-I'm only human! Please!". I placed my figure on the trigger, "Please...I'll do anything!" she added.
I hesitated, shes offering to do anything if I spare her life! This could be useful. I put the gun down and carefully set her on the ground (with the spider legs still around her). She looked at me wide-eyed, waiting for me to say something. "Anything?" I asked her. She looked down at the ground and said "Yes, please just don't kill me." I thought for a moment, "Well, I can't let you go...you will tell someone I am here."
She shook her head, "I won't if you don't hurt me."
"So, your saying if I hurt you, you will tell?" I asked.
She shook her head yes.
"But if you tell, I'll kill you..." I replied back.
"Then don't hurt me!" she blurted out. Her eyes widened, she covered her mouth as if she didn't mean to let that out.
"Hmmmmm...we'll make a deal." I said, unraveling my spider leg from the girl. She collapsed on the floor, after suddenly loosing the support keeping her up. She took a few deep breaths as I walked over to her. "But there has to be more in it for me." I told her. She looked up at me, "Like what?" she asked.
I just now noticed that Skit was lessening the whole time. Sitting on a log, his deep brown eyes glowed in the dark. He hopped off the log on his little metal feet and over to me. "Master...she could tell you things about things about this planet. She could teach you." he said, I grinned. Skit is such a smart SIR! I don't know what I would do without him! I patted him on his head and turned to the girl. She was now sitting up with her legs tucked up to her chest. I noticed something strange about her eyes...they seamed to be leaking something. It was clear and rolled down her face onto the ground. I tried to ignore this, "Heres the deal." I told her, "I will not kill or harm you if you keep my identity secret and teach me." She wiped away whatever was rolling down her cheek, "Teach?" she said. I nodded, "I need you to teach me all there is to know about this planet. You will come over every day, and teach me until I know everything I need!"
"I don't know if I can-" I cut her off.
"Its either that or death! You should be lucky I am even giving you a chance to begin with!"
"I have to go to a place called school every day. I would have to meet you after that." she explained. I nodded, "That is fine."
"So, let me get this straight. I am going to met you here after school everyday to teach you?" she asked, almost like she didn't believe this was happening to her. "Yes, and I expect to see you here tomorrow as soon as this school thing is over." I told her. She looked up at me, "Deal.".
She glanced down at something on her wrist. Her eyes widened, "I'm sorry to cut this short, but I really need to get home!" she said.
I sighed "Fine. But I expect you back here tomorrow! If not, then I have my ways of finding you!"
"Ok, erm...bye." She said, getting up to leave. She was almost to the woods, when I shouted out "Hey, wait. What do you want me to call you?" She paused, "Like, my name? Oh, its Anela." she said. "Refer to me as Invader Pheonix." I told her, "You may go now." She sprinted off into the woods.
My heart beat faster along with the pounding of my feet on the side walk. Oh god, Anela! What did you get yourself into? Did this really happen to you? Somehow, I manged to find my way home. A dim light shone from my dad's office on the 'street floor' (our house is above it), I decided to go around back and come in the same way I left just in case my dad was in his office. It was freezing up on the fire escape, I had to climb up the slippery latter as fast as I could. I hopped into the attic window , just in time for a knock to come to the door! I quickly closed the window and shouted "Come in!" The door creaked open, and there stood my mom. "I haven't heard a peep from you ever since we had that fight, have you been up here the whole time?"
"Ummmm...yes?" I replied.
"What have you been doing?"
"Just hanging out..." I bit my lip, hoping she would buy it.
"Oh. Ok, well you need to get to bed. Its late, and you have school tomorrow."
"I will in a minute, good night!" said, my mom nodded and said "Good night." as she closed the door.
I blinked. She had no idea I was gone all this time! How could that have possibly worked? Wow! Grabbing my diary off of the box I sat it on before I left, I immediately started writing away everything that had happened and what I was feeling. It all just flew out of my mind and into the ink of my ball point pen. I closed my dairy when I was finished, and then bounded down the stairs to bed.
