Neo

by spicycinnamonsugar

All was well in the world before they came. They enslaved us, tortured us, and tested us. They stole everything from us and yet we fight to reclaim our earth before its too late. But when all hope seemed lost, our very lives were held in the hands of one boy. Neo. [idea for this story came from the Host and my own words/characters] (I DO NOT OWN THE HOST)

6. Time flies when the world is ending

"Gibbs, our" He helped me up and handed me my pipe.

"new doc, should be able to fix you up."

"New doc?"

"Yeah, Phineas died least year. You're kids will never believe this."

"Johnny what do you mean?"

"They miss you terribly, they're so grown up and..."

"Grown up what are you talking about?"

"Well it's been awhile since they seen you Rob."

"Yeah , 2 months."

He turned and looked at me.

"2 months? Rob, you've been gone for 3 years..."

I stumbled and Johnny struggled to catch me.

"3...years..."

"You don't remember?"

"No...It feels like it's July ..."

"It is. Except it's July 2035."

"What ...no...it can't..."

I was getting dizzy. "It can't be..."

I was going to vomit. "It can't..." I passed out.

"Have you seen the news Rob?" Anne said while cooking breakfast.

"No, what's going on now?" I said sipping my coffee.

"A star went supernova just outside our solar system. It knocked out one of our satellites and sent off some strange solar waves. They warned us that we might lose power sometime this week." She said putting the pan in the sink.

"That's odd." I said and she gave me a goofy smile.

"Jannie June your breakfast is ready!" Anne yelled up the stairs.

"Coming mommy!" Janice replied running down the stairs in her perfectly pink outfit clutching her teddy bear.

"Morning daddy!" She said kissing my cheek.

"Morning sweet heart." I smiled. "How's Mr. Fluffy doing today?"

"He's good." She said hugging her bear.

"French toast with powdered sugar for the princess" she set the plate down in front of her giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"And a ham omelet for the king " she smiled as she handed me the plate and kissed me.

"Shepherd, come down you'll be late for school!" Anne yelled up the stairs.

"Whatever mom, give me a minute."

She shook her head and looked at me.

I gave an apologetic smile. "Shepard listen to your mother."

"I'm coming. I'm com..."

The house began to shake violently.

"Robin.." Anne said clutching the counter.

"DADDY!" Janice squealed clutching her teddy bear tighter.

Shepard rushed down the stairs with a frantic stare.

"WHATS GOING ON!?"

I stood up and looked outside and saw my worst fear.

"GET IN THE SHELTER NOW!" I yelled.

We ran downstairs and lifted up the medal door in the floor.

The house shook harder.

"Quickly quickly!"

Anne helped Janice down and I hoped in after her. We managed to shut the door right before everything caved in...
