Sandra
I woke up stiff, and my entire body was sore, not understanding what was happening, I opened my eyes to see that was in a dark room with a red light emulating off the walls. I looked to my left and right; I saw that my sisters and brother were here in the room with me. I was immediately about to scream, but then I saw his face hovering over mines. I was about to scream, but then he placed his cold pale hand over my mouth.
"I sense your elevated heart rate, I understand that you will cry but please don't it will hurt my sensitive ears." He looked me in my eyes with his bright red ones, "I'm going to remove my hand now." He slowly moved his hand and I reached my legs out and kicked him in his stomach. It felt like I kicked concreate. "Please don't attempt to harm me again, let's talk like civilized adults, come to Sandra we have a lot to talk about." He reached his hand out and helped me off the bed, which was high. When I jumped off the bed, I fell, in a flash, he was there helping me up.
"What the fuck are you and why do you have my family and me." I spit at him angrily; he looked like a demon, and I was hoping that this was a bad dream.
"I am Mayleek from the planet Mauve, I stumbled upon your polluted planet by accident, and now I am taking you home with me." My mouth dropped, and I started to pinch myself when I realized this wasn't a dream I fainted, he caught me before I hit the floor."
I woke up a while later in his arms; he was holding on to me like I was a baby and that's what I felt like in his arms; a baby. He felt cold against my skin, "you need to eat your blood sugar levels are low." His voice was deep and smooth; his dialect was something I have never heard before. I calmly faced him and tried to stop myself from shaking. "I can command you to eat, and I can command you to except this ordeal. However, I want you to come to acceptance on your own." He stood to his full height which had to be at least eight-feet tall.
"I can't accept something I know nothing about." I huffed out in frustration; he can't command me to do anything.
"Your family is about to wake, well the male is, and I don't want to frighten him." He calmly walked me back to my where he was holding everyone. Malcolm was sitting up in the bed, and he rubbed his eyes then looked at me and smiled. He looked at the alien and smiled at him as well.
"Hi Mayleek, I'm Malcolm," Malcolm said in a friendly manner. I was amazed, how did he know his name?
"Malcolm, how did you know Mayleek's name?"
"The computer told me," Malcolm said sleepily, the computer told me a lot of things, like where we are going. The computer did that so I wouldn't be scared. I looked at May leak wondering why the computer didn't do that for me, I wondering, seeming to sense what I was asking myself, May leak answered,"After your reaction, I didn't want to go through that ordeal ten more times, so I programmed all the information of what I wanted them to know in the computer." I hunched my shoulder, and it seemed like a good idea.
"Why aren't everyone else waking up, right now?" I asked worried that else everyone was still laying there, it looked like they were barely breathing.
"Everyone will wake up in due time, it takes time to decontaminate each person, your planet's atmosphere is highly polluted, each one of you had something that your species calls cancerous cells embedded into your body's structure. It takes a while for the nanometrons to break down the cancerous cells and rebuild them. One of the females has something that your species calls HIV. It's going to take longer for her system to be rebuild." He stood as still as a statue while he spoke, he barely looked as if he was breathing himself. Replaying his words in my head made me panic, one of my sisters had HIV. I immediately thought of Tiffany. I walked to where she was sleeping; he saved her life. I kissed her forehead; I wanted to express my gratitude because he potentially saved my sister from a life time of pain and fucked up decisions. I looked at my sister once more and backed away from her, grabbing Malcolm under his arms placed him on my hip. I asked him what I am sure everyone will want to know "what do we eat here?"
