This story is getting stranger and stranger... And I kind of like it :)
That's all, enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own GONE, that's Michael Grant.
DEDICATION: As always, to the amazing Caris! This story wouldn't have come to be without her, and her random pairing ideas!
NOTE: Armygirl, hi! And you were right, "NALA" is just "LANA" mixed around... I didn't notice that when I was writing this, I swear! And no, Drake\Lana is not the pairing. But nice try, though! :P
OTHER NOTE: I don't know if I made this clear in the other chapter, but this is not a Mary Sue. Or a Drake\OC fic. Nala's like ten years old, and she's the Darkness. So... yeah. Enjoy!
Chapter Two: Aliens Invading
"Aliens invading, run for your life
Grab your wife and babies
It's going down tonight..."
-Ke$ha, "Aliens Invading"
Drake led the way out of the collapsed cave, pausing every so often to allow Nala to jump ahead and use telekinesis to move a rock or some other obstruction out of the way. He eyed the young girl ever so often, wariness sparking in his gaze. She had a smirk seemingly permanently etched in place of a smile, a smirk that looked ageless, looked extremely out of place on a ten-year-old's face.
"So, you can use telekinesis?" he asked, trying to keep his tone neutral, which was hard for Drake, especially when he thought of Caine. The girl snorted behind him.
"I'm the Darkness, if you hadn't noticed. I'm the one who distributed all of the powers, so naturally I have to have all of them within me. I just needed the radiation to form myself a body to regain power..." If Drake had looked behind him then, he would have seen an evil smile spread slowly over the blond girl's face, green molecules swirling in her dark eyes.
Nala's POV:
It felt so good to be back in a body again. I don't know or care to remember when I last inhabited a body...
Power courses through my veins now, not blood like normal humans have within them, radiation. The kind of radiation that kills humans; how fitting. I like it. The boy beside me is close to death, I can tell, although he can't feel it yet. The radiation that makes me stronger is slowly killing him, and he was one of my loyal servants back when I was just a mass of green, so I do him a favor and place my hand on his arm. He flinches, so I explain myself, and in a few minutes he is fully healed. Drake, I think he said his name was.
Drake, meaning dragon, the great killers and destroyers in mythology. I like that; I think I'll keep him around, for a little bit at least.
And after all, I'm a ten-year-old girl now. I need someone around to make sure I don't get myself in trouble.
Drake glances at me. He has so many questions that he's too nervous to ask, I can tell. He was one of my followers; his mind is easily opened for my perusal. He opens his mouth and then closes it again; the wimp.
For a few seconds I wiggle my fingers and the landscape shimmers before my eyes, and mine alone. The highway beside us is suddenly full of rushing cars holding adult humans who are yapping away on cell phones. Drake is still beside me, directing us to Perdido Beach, unaware of the now-bustling highway full of grownups, who, in turn, are unaware of us.
I smirk and wiggle my fingers again, watching as the cars dissolved and Drake and I, once again, are on our own. The FAYZ is my most brilliant idea yet.
Oh my. This is so strange... And hopefully, I'll find a way to explain it, later! And sorry it was so short :(
Tell me what you think, and your own theories about Nala and her strange ways, in a review! Thanks for reading!
