The War in the Sky

Its Up to You

I take a step back, never mind that they just called me the chosen one, but they look creepy as hell. "What?" I respond with a shaky voice, my body trembling with fear, "do not be afraid we mean you no harm at all." I take a deep breath to calm my nerves, "where's Charlie and what did you do to him and what do you want with me" I ask sternly now trying to except what I think they'll do to me but I'll  get my answers first. Their faces never change expression, they have no mouth to smile with no eye brows to raise and two tiny holes for nostrils which makes me think they are ugly as hell and weird.

"Please keep in mind that we can hear everything you're thinking" shit they just heard me call them ugly, "yes we did". "Now in order for us to answer your questions we need to explain why we have you now" please do not explain to me how your going to kill me. "We're not going to kill you", Now I begin to get annoyed about my private thoughts not being so private. "It's how we communicate with you, now brace yourself for what we are about to tell you."

"We have been visiting your planet for many years searching for you, long ago our elder foresaw that there would be a war that would last hundreds of years and that a human would be the one to end it." "So you think that human is me?" I question hysterically. "We know it is, before our elder passed, he gave us a formula to solve which gave us the coding to your DNA, and for years we have been". "Poking holes in people and kidnapping them?". I interrupted sarcastically and angrily. Still wondering where my friends had been taken to.

"We made little incisions yes, but never kidnapped anyone." "You just kidnapped me, remember? I was there". "Yes well the ones who are kidnapping are the ones we are at war with, they are called reptilians,they've wanted to conquer
your world ever since the elder died. They took it as their chance to go against our ways of protecting galaxies to dominating them." Damn, so they took Charlie, how do we get him back?".

"The reptilians have no mercy for your kind and wishes to enslave them, when they took your friend, we checked the rest of you to see if they found the chosen one. They did, they just didn't have the specific individual, and because he wasn't the chosen one, your friend is most likely gone". No, my best friend Charlie, he was taken... because they wanted me? I did this, it's my fault. My face began to become hot as warm tears rolled down my face, "we will give you a moment to grieve," they said staring at me. Wiping the tears from my face and sobbing , "what the hells wrong with you turn around or leave the room or something don't say you'll let me grieve and just stare at me." "We do not have any eye lids to blink we apologize if", "get the hell out of here!" Clearly they have not been here long enough to study our habits.

I sat down on a stool in front of a desk and cried, my tears flowing like an open faucet. I close my eye and lay my head on my forearm on the desk, "Charlie, my best friend, this isn't real, it can't be, it just can't.  Forget it, I can't let my friends death go in vein, no more tears just revenge. "So how am I supposed to end this war?" "Well we don't know, the elder has only told us up to this part. The rest is unknown, it's up to you to shape the future now."
