"Uh...huh..." Zoey opened her eyes and saw sunshine, heard birds chirping and saw that she was in a shack. "Oh!" She sat up quickly and looked around. "Wh...where am I? Am I back on Earth?" Just then she noticed several set of long ears. She gasped in disbelief as several small children lept onto the bed she slept on and just looked at her. "Ah...hi..." One child smiled and ran outside, the others stayed with Zoey.
"Now, now, Yopa, why are you pulling my arms for...oh," Zoey now stared into the eyes of a somewhat elderly man, who was coming closer.
"My, my, you've woken, and here we believed that you too had died in that terrible crash." "Crash...oh right! The shuttle!" "Gone, my dear, it's gone as are all of the humans within, all except for you that is. You are one strong girly, let me tell you." Zoey nodded, "I...I was the only survivor?" "I'm afraid so, my dear, however, the young girl, she lived for at least two more days, then she sucummed to her injuries." "Lila..." "Hm?" "Her name, sir, was Lila." "Really? Pretty name, as is yours I would wager." "Oh, I..." A child giggled, "Thats old man Fern's way of asking you what your name is, lady." "Oh, of course, my name is Zoey." "Ah, I was right, such a pretty name you were given." Zoey smiled lightly, she had no idea where she was nor what kind of aliens she was being taken cared for by.
Were these children, is the old man, are they all, Cyniclons? She wondered to herself as a really young girl touched her face, then smiled and laughed. "Hm?" "Oh, thats Risina, she's very shy, but when it comes to getting to know if someone will hurt her or not, she touched their face and waits for either a smack, or a question, like you just gave." "Oh, I see...um these children..." "No, they cannot talk, not a single one." "If you don't mind my asking...why?" "Some of them are just too young to talk yet, but many of the somewhat older ones, have seen things that should only be seen in nightmares and not even there if its children's dreams." "How, horible." "Yes, and I old man Fern, I care for these rugrats." "All on your own?" "Well, sometimes the young master comes and takes the children for walks, and plays games with them." "Young master?" "Yes, a very kind young man. The children just adore him." "I see." "Sometimes the master brings along a few of his most trusted friends." "Oh?" "Ha, those four remind me of myself and my most trusted friends, when we were that age, such a wonderful time..." The old man stopped.
"Is there something wrong?" "Yes, such a wondeful time, until he showed his wretched face to us all." "He, who? Who do you mean?" "Oh, don't worry your pretty head about our people's long dead enemy." "Hm..." "Now, lets get a look at those wounds on your body, shall we?" "Ah..." "Worry not, they are nowhere near forbidden areas, just your legs and shoulders." Zoey was a bit more relaxed now and looked out the window, up at the clear blue, the sun begining to set behind the white fluffy clouds.
"It's...it's almost like Earth..." "Hm? Ah, yes, well, that is what our planet toook the form of, one that would keep our people alive for a very long time..." "I'm sorry to ask, but I must know, are you...are you Cyniclons?" The hut grew very silent and the children looked at the old man.
"you know about Cyniclons, do you miss?" "Ah...only what I've seen on T.V down on Earth, you know the Earth invasion 3...6 years ago." "Ah, right, of coure, forgive me, but for a moment there I thought you were one of those horrid witches!" "Witches?" "He means the mew mews." Zoey nodded, "Oh." "Those girls, though they are so dedicated to their job, they have no clue what they've gotten themselves into, nor do they know that the only way out is...death." "D...Death..." "Yes, but not by just anyone, it must be done by the creator of the mew mews, the one who made the girls the way they are now." Zoey swallowed and stood. "Excuse me, but I need to stretch my legs." "Yes of course. Do be careful out there at this hour child, fore there are things on this planet that makes it very different from Earth, very different and very dangerous." Zoey nodded as she went outside.
"Ha...she looked up into the sky. It was a beautiful sunset, causing so many wonderful colors to be seen in the clouds. Zoey smiled, "It really is just like Earth..." "Only Earth, does not have those lovely flowers there under your feet." Zoey backed away from the new alien man that approached her. "It's alright, you don't have to be frightened," "Are...are you the young master, old man Fern told me about?" "I am indeed, my name is Koji, and as you've probably heard, I am the master of this part of the planet." "I see..." "What is your lovely name, or shall I call you beauty?" Zoey blushed, "My name is Zoey," The man took her hand and kissed it. "Pleasure meeting you Zoey...hm?" Suddenly Zoey was shoved to the ground. "Ow! What the!" "Stay back! Vile beast!" "What!Thats awfully rude..." "Not, you...THAT!" Zoey turned to see a gigantic, snake-like creature, with the head of a king cobra and slimy looking skin. It reminded Zoey of the snake chimera Dren had used one day. She glared at it.
"Back! You vile thing! How dare you try to ambush us like that! Be off with you!" The snake, left, a dagger in it's left arm. "Ha! There, now should be a safer time to..." Chimera..." "Huh? What did you just..." "I thought that thing resembled a chimera...that attacked me on Earth one day 6 years ago." "I see, so not only are you human, but you know about the chimeras eh?" "Hm, only because one attacked me." "Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by that...hm...perhaps..." "Perhaps what?" "Well, I certainly cannot have a young woman, be her human or not, I cannot allow you to remain in that hut with an old man and several young and some not so young children." "Ah...what are you trying to tell me?" "You, Zoey as of tonight, will become a resident within my home.
