Hey everyone happy New Year.
First upload of 2012 just to let you know I'll be uploading Thursdays from now on, I also wish to thank yeti100 and kiara622 for their kind reviews.
Maria Jackson was curled up on her bed, her eyes were sore with hot tears, and she was hugging her favourite teddy bear,
She heard a car door slam, Maria quickly ran to the window to she her dad walking towards the house.
"Dad" Maria almost screamed.
She ran downstairs as fast as she could, just as Alan walked through the door, Maria threw her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.
"Oh dad I was so worried" Maria sobbed.
"Hey it's ok, sorry I scared you" Alan told her.
"I thought I'd lost you" Maria continued.
Alan looked into Maria's eyes.
"Never happen" he said as he gave Maria a kiss on the forehead.
"But how did you get back home" Maria asked.
"One of Mrs wormwoods friends, brought me home" Alan answered.
"What someone from the factory is here" Maria added.
She then turned and ran out of the door.
"Maria?" Alan called after her but she was gone.
Maria quickly headed towards 13-bannerman road, when she ran into Kelsey.
"Hey watch out" Kelsey told her.
"Kelsey who brought you and dad home" she demanded.
Kelsey began to grin.
"It was the muffin," she said in a dreamy voice.
"Which way did he go?" Maria added.
"Over there of cause, Mrs wormwood must have asked him to pick something up for her" Kelsey replied.
Maria then grabbed Kelsey's arm, and dragged her across the road to number 13.
"Sanjay open up, it's me Maria," she shouted as she banged on the door.
"Your completely shaming me" Kelsey protested.
Maria continued banging on the door, until Sanjay appeared.
"Maria, I thought I told you to stay out of this," He told her.
"But it's the man from the factory, he's here on the street" Maria quickly explained.
Kelsey then let out an ear-spitting scream, as she saw one of the bane walking along the side of the house.
"Quick inside" Sanjay yelled.
They wasted no time and ran into the house, slamming the door behind them.
"Sanjay what the hell" mark said as he ran down the hall.
"They've found us," Sanjay answered.
The door then began to shake, and mark ran to it to hold the door.
"What is that thing, what is that thing?" Kelsey said over and over.
The young Luke then appeared from the living room.
"Hello Maria, hello screaming girl" He greeted.
"Never mind hello, there's a great big alien out there" Maria replied.
Maria then saw a woman come into the hall followed by 3 teenagers.
"Sarah Jane, get everyone up stairs" Mark told her as he continued to hold the door.
Sarah Jane nodded and led everyone upstairs, Mark then turned to James.
"James catch" He shouted as he threw him one of his guns.
The bane continued smashing the door until it gave way, sending mark across the hall.
"Mark" James yelled as the bane came crawling though the door.
James took aim with marks gun, but the bane was too fast, one swing of a tentacle sent James crashing thought the living room door.
"Pathetic" the muffin bane said as he continued into the house.
He crawled across the ceiling and dropped to the stairs, and then began to advance up towards Sarah Jane and the others.
"It's coming up the stairs" Maria screamed.
"Were gonna die" Kelsey continued.
"Quickly up to the attic" Sarah Jane told them.
Everyone continued running until the came to the attic door, but it didn't open.
"Oh no it's locked" Sanjay told Sarah Jane as he pulled on the door handle.
"Let me try" Sarah Jane said as she aimed her sonic lipstick at the lock.
The air was then filled with a high-pitched whistling, but the door remained locked.
"No, it's a deadlock seal" Sarah Jane added.
"It's coming" Maria yelled as the bane appeared at the bottom of the stairs.
"You will all die, squealing pigs," the bane told them.
"This is not happening, this is so not happening" Kelsey said as she cowered behind Maria and the young boy.
"But that contradicts the facts" the young boy replied.
"First the children then the males, and finally the old woman" the bane continued as he was about to strike.
"Hey, don't you call my mum old" Luke yelled as he pulled out his mobile phone.
Luke held his phone in front of him and hit call, the bane screamed in pain and began to back away from them.
"You sure picked the wrong house" Rani added as she and Clyde joined luke with their mobile phones held in front of them.
The bane then collapsed on the floor, and turned back into his human form.
"It's the muffin," Kelsey said as she pointed at the crumpled figure on the stairs.
"That is a muffin" The young boy replied.
Gasping for breath, the muffin pulled him self up on the banister and fled.
"Oh that was brilliant Luke, you saved us" Sarah Jane told him as she hugged him
"We better see if mark and James are alright" Luke replied.
Sarah Jane and the others quickly headed downstairs, to find James staggering through the remains of the lounge door.
"James" Sarah Jane said as she went over to him.
"I'm ok, just a few cuts and bruisers," he told her.
"Where's mark" she asked.
James pointed to the far end of the hall where mark was lying on the floor.
Sarah Jane and Sanjay ran over to him, followed by the others.
"Please be ok" Sanjay said to himself as he knelt down next to mark, tears began to form in his eyes.
Mark then started to groan, and Sarah Jane smiled at Sanjay.
"What happened to the bane?" Mark asked as he came around.
"Luke scared it off with his mobile, he saved us all" Sarah Jane answered as she turned to her son.
"That was quick thinking mate," Clyde told him.
"Brilliant as always" Sarah Jane said as she grabbed Luke's arm and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"I just remembered the bane don't like mobile phones" Luke answered rubbing the back of his head with his hand, looking a little embraced.
"You saved our lives, thank you," Maria told him as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Luke's face went red, but he was also grinning ear to ear.
"Sorry to brake up the celebrations, but would someone mind telling me what the hell is going on" Kelsey demanded with her hand on her hips.
Maria turned to her.
"Oh Kelsey isn't it obvious, the muffin and everyone at the bubble shock factory are aliens planning to take over the earth" Maria told her.
"Shut up, aliens aren't real" Kelsey replied.
But Maria ignored her, and turned to Sarah Jane and the others.
"I'm right aren't I" She continued.
Sarah Jane nodded.
"There's a part of bane in every bottle of bubble shock, soon the bane will send a signal which will control everyone who's been drinking bubble shock" Sarah Jane explained.
"What there's aliens in this" Kelsey scoffed as she pulled out a bottle of bubble shock.
"Yes and I can prove it" Sarah Jane told her.
"Sure you can" Kelsey replied as she rolled her eyes.
She then turned to Maria.
"You coming or you going to stay here with the loonies" She asked.
"I'm staying" Maria answered.
"Fine, have fun with the aliens" Kelsey replied.
She then turned and walked out of the house.
"Kelsey wait" Maria called after her.
"Let her go Maria, some people just can't except aliens exist, even when they've seen one face to face" Sarah Jane told her.
Meanwhile the muffin had returned to the bubble shock factory.
"You failed" Mrs wormwood said.
The muffin remained silent as he stood before her.
"You know the penalty" Mrs wormwood told him.
"Forgive me, but there were others at the house, they had weapons terrible weapons" the muffin pleaded.
"A hunter that losers it's pray, is unfit to serve the bane mother" Mrs wormwood continued as she walked towards him.
"But this was no ordinary pray, the one who attacked me looked just like the archetype only older" The muffin quickly explained.
"But that can't be" Mrs wormwood added.
"He speaks the truth" a voice replied.
Mrs wormwood and the muffin turned to see, a hooded figure walking into the room.
"Guards" Mrs wormwood yelled.
But the figure simply pressed a ring on their finger, reducing the advancing gaurds to pools of smile; the figure then removed the hood to revel another Mrs Wormwood.
"Is that anyway to greet yourself," She added.
To Be Continued.
