Lost in Space

Chapter 6: The Insanity that Lurks Ahead

"Jordan, you are one of the most stubborn people I have ever met."

"That was a bit harsh. Besides... we had no other choice. If we stayed on that planet, then 5G-189 would probably destroy the planet just to find us."

"What you did was uncalled for. What were you even thinking? Now we are back in a similar situation when we were on Gliese 581g, cuffed up and about to die."

"I really don't exactly know what I am thinking anymore. I just want to go back to Earth."

"I do too, but we may not be getting there any time soon." I get that Stephen. You don't have to say it a bunch of times. "We may not even go back to Earth at all."

"What do you mean not at all? I still believe that we can go back to Earth. Maybe, we can go back and forget all of this ever happened."

"Except we can't. This is not something that you will forget. It is—"

5G-189 must be getting annoyed by our conversation "HUSH! Be quiet now." She grabbed a knife out of her pocket. It had blood dripping down the side. I was scared of her at first, but this makes me much more afraid. "I need to take care of you too."

"What about all of the other people?"

"We will worry about the others later... after you two are taking care of." She said that with a maniacal laugh. There is something about her that I still cannot pick out, but I... I really don't know. Could she... no... she couldn't have.

"Stephen, we need to find a way to escape—"

"Now, you two better now think about escaping. Both of you trapped yourself in this situation. Escaping the situation only makes it worse. Much... much worse." She licked the blood off the knife. It was very disturbing.

"Stephen..."

"Jordan, you better keep your mouth shut."

"Well... we have to think of something before we die in a few seconds."

Stephen started to look around. What is he looking for? "Ha... found a hammer."

"A hammer? What will that do?"

"It is a sledgehammer. I don't know why this lunatic would have one."

"She is a lunatic, indeed. Why else would she have a bunch of weapons... even a few tools that can be used as weapons."

"I don't what to do with this." Stephen had used the sledgehammer to knock out two of the guards she has behind us.

"Hey! What are you thinking? You dare try to use that against my fleet?"

"Jordan, stand back."

"Wait... what you are about to do?"

Stephen through the sledgehammer, but he missed 5G-189. "You missed. What you were aiming at?"

"Look behind you." It was a weird switch that said MAIN POWER. "Have fun."

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?! Now we are all stuck here!"

Stephen turned to me. "Hey Jordan, grab my hand."

"What about the other people?"

"Wait a minute..." Stephen and I looked behind where we were. "What do you mean other people?"

"Oh crap. I bet they are still stuck on Kepler 62e."

Stephen punched the exit door button. "Hold your breath."

"Wait... Wait! WAIT!" I had no time to pull myself back. Stephen jumped out of the mothership and pulled me out with him. I had to hold my breath, but we don't have long until we pass out, or we could kill ourselves. It really does not matter at the moment because we are in space with no protective gear.
