Chapter Thirteen
Aliens creeped toward us in all directions.
John and Steve ran away to tell the other people that Boss wrote a peace treaty.
Zero, Slimy, and I all held hands and stood back to back.
Aliens continued to circle around us which made the three of us nervous.
Finally, they all stopped and stared at us.
"Hello," said Zero.
One alien walked out from the crowd.
"Slimy?" asked the alien.
The alien looked somewhat familiar to me. He was medium-sized and…he was the alien that killed the preppy!
"482916!" yelled Slimy.
Slimy ran to the alien and they shook hands.
"Nice seeing ya Cuz," said Slimy.
"You-You're the one I saw at the mall!" I yelled.
482916 looked at me.
"You were that girl watching me as I killed that other girl…uh yeah," he said.
Now, he wasn't quite as tall as Slimy. Only around five feet tall. He had hair, and seemed to have been full grown, but he was just short for most aliens.
"Four, we don't really have time for family reunions. The humans here want their planet back. In exchange, we get ours back to the old ways," said Zero.
482916 smiled.
"Very well then," he said.
"Tell the aliens, Jaycee," said Zero.
I took a deep breath.
It was time.
"Hello, aliens to this world. I understand that there has been a huge amount of problems on your planet with Boss. But as most of you know, his ways are wrong and I believe that if humans and aliens work together, then we can both get our planets back. Who's with me?" I asked.
All the aliens cheered.
Slimy walked over to me and grabbed my hand and whispered in my ear.
"There's a bad alien in the crowd," he whispered.
Right at that moment, there was an explosion nearby.
Aliens ran in all directions.
I was too shocked to move.
I was frozen in place.
"Jaycee! We have to run, come on!" yelled Slimy.
He pulled me along as we followed Zero through the dust.
"I can't see a thing!" I yelled.
The explosions were loud and we had to yell in order to hear one another over the noise.
"Don't worry, I'm following Zero!" yelled Slimy.
"How can he see anything?" I asked.
"I….I don't know!" he answered.
We continued running for a while until an explosion hit me.
The force of the explosion made Slimy let go of me and I landed hard on the ground, unable to move.
"Jaycee!" I heard him yell.
I was still alive because I heard the explosions echo in my ears.
I opened my eyes and saw Slimy pick me up.
"Dude, you're gonna kill yourself, I'm too heavy," I said.
"Nah, there's no time," he said.
We ran even longer.
Finally we reached safety and the explosions were far away.
We were hiding by some kind of mountain…hill thing surrounded by rocks.
Zero and Slimy breathed heavily.
My leg was bleeding uncontrollably.
"Are you…okay?" asked Slimy.
"Yeah…I think so," I answered.
My leg didn't hurt that bad, it looked worse than it felt.
"You could've died. We got so lucky," said Zero.
I looked over at Slimy.
He was examining his arm.
"Let me see," I said.
Slimy pulled his arm away.
"No, it's bleeding. If my blood gets on you you're an alien remember?" he asked.
"Oh…yeah," I said.
Slimy half smiled.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. You're the one in danger, aliens are conquering your planet," he said.
I looked over at Zero.
He looked freaked out.
"Zero?" I questioned.
"She's…dead," he said.
"What?" asked me and Slimy.
"The girl who I was supposed to kill is…is dead. She got hit by an explosion. I didn't want her to die. That's why I never killed her myself. If I wanted her to die, I would've killed her a long time ago. Now, she never even got to see the end of this war. Why?" he questioned.
"How do you know she's-" I started.
"I saw her while we were running. I wanted to turn around and save her, but it was too late. She's gone now. Hopefully in a better place," he said.
It was silent for a few minutes.
Everyone was thinking of the past events.
Then we saw a shadow cast over our heads.
We all looked up to see a tall alien, who grabbed Slimy and ran away.
