Falling Skies: Ericka

by writer013

Even though I lost everything, I've gained a lot from this war with the aliens. I'm doing things I never thought I would have to do. I've got a new family and the boy-next-door is now my boyfriend. We've had quite a few rollercoaster rides together, but I know we can get through it, together. And that's how we're going to take back our planet together. AN: Season 3 starts on Ch. 12

12. What She Said (extra)

What She Said

Leaning over, Ericka whispered into its ear. "Thank you, for everything you've done. You've helped us and you gave us a chance to win the war."

Her eyes drifted up slightly to Ben. She was well aware that everyone was watching her closely, curious as to what she was saying. Ericka continued, "And thank you for keeping him safe." It wasn't long and it wasn't poetic, but it was a way to show that she cared. They owed this skitter with their lives. It didn't say anything back to her. The skitter didn't have too. The look in its alien eyes said it all. 'You're welcome.' She didn't know if anyone heard her or not, but she didn't really care. Then it whispered something to Ben. He seemed slightly confused by what Red Eye was saying. Ben's eyes caught Ericka's for a split second. Did he hear what she said? Then the Skitter looked to Tom. He took its hand. "Keep the fight going…" Ben whispered as the alien die. The alien hand fell limp and slipped out of his hand.
