The Airship Book 1: Maroon

Lights

(Yellow's POV)

Voices roused me awake. I could hear two voices, a man's voice, and a high-pitched girl's voice. The man said, "I don't know Maroon, I think you need to stay back." And the girl's voice came to my ears. "But White, I need to see mommy!" White. Maroon. Why did those names sound so familiar? I tried to remember but as I sucked in air, I began to cough. It was hard to breath. I heard the man's voice: "Okay, one, two, three!" Immediately something scalding hot hit my back. I tried to move away from it, but I couldn't move. The heat stopped a few seconds after it hit my back. I could breathe! Then I remembered what the names meant. Maroon was my daughter, and White was the captain of the "Skeld" and the "Airship". I sat up. I could move! "Mommy!" "Yellow!" I smiled at the sound of their surprised voices. "Can you see us?" White asked. "No." I replied. White wiped my visor, and I could see both of them. Lights hit my eyes and I blinked a few times. Maroon leaped into my lap, and I thought I could see a smile beneath White's oddly cracked and chipped visor.

(Red's POV)

I woke up to the sound of cheering. I took me a few minutes to realize where I was. I was in the last bathroom of the lounge. I sighed and got up. I stepped out of the bathroom and headed past the bathrooms in front of me. When I got to the part of the lounge with the pool tables, there was a disco party happening. At the first table, Green was playing pool with Mr. Cheese. "Red!" Said Green in surprise. "Where have you been?" Asked Mr. Cheese. "Never mind that," I said. "Why is everybody partying?" I asked. Green and Mr. Cheese glanced at each other. "You'll find out." They both said at the same time as I walked toward the group of people at the far end of the room, I heard "Jynx!" and "Owe me a coke!" From Green and Mr. Cheese. As I stepped toward the second pool table, I saw White DJ'ing, Mini-Green and Maroon holding hands and skipping around, And in the middle, Pink was doing the floss with... YELLOW. "Yellow!" I screamed. Yellow turned to me. We both ran up to each other and hugged for what seemed like an eternity.

(Alien's POV)

I stared from the hall into the glowing room. The humans were "Dancing". I had to control one of them eventually and I was going to decide who I should control. I thought for a few minutes before choosing the white one.
