The Strangers in the House

Dren's POV

I woke up early that day. It seemed to be another day of scavenging. I had not seen the aliens since they came, and I saw the house in front of the street. Every day in the past, strange people came in. It was because the house was for rent waiting for someone to take care of it. Usually, I rarely visit them, and I usually see a strange light shining from the attic there. Some strange people began to move into this house.

I saw it all. Cartoon characters, a rock band, a boy scout camp, a farmer, some humanoid bats, an ancient elephant, two robbers, an old lady with pet poodle, pessimists, an art critic, a sneaky salesman, a gnome, scientists that study underwater life, a superhero, ghosts, a teenage boy, a singer, theme park owners, a wrestler, a hit man, a vampire and a broken couple. That is what I have described in my past. I believe they will move into this house for no reason at all. Perhaps because it was still for rent!

Every day, I write in my journal of strange people and their daily lives. Don't you know what they are? Well, I know they have personalities. One strange person liked to clean the house, and perhaps the one was a neat freak. The second was a scientist. He was going to send an invasion to Earth or send someone to help get them back. I still don't know what he was saying. The third was an animation-loving TV freak. He behaves like a teen a little. The fourth was gluttonous and had a desire to eat anything, including the humans he craved. I do not know why.. Finally, there was the fifth one with two heads. They are the bookworms of the group and are usually the smartest.

Each person had an appearance that I do not recognize. It was only the body and the face. Their eyes are the only ones that change color too. I guess what strange people look like. I didn't want to blow my cover on them. For that, I use some disguise to get into the house. Surely, I have a lot and not much stuff I have in my shack. I had at least four tiny Merridees, tiny aliens that were with me. But this day, everything is about to change.

One day, I saw a man standing in the house. He was carrying a suitcase and a black hat. I know this guy everywhere. It was the hit man. I wondered what he was going to do, I thought. I saw him enter the house. I knew the weird people were going to be in danger, and I would build up my courage and start wearing my human disguise. I hid in my tail and covered my ears so that I had to hide where my arms and my wings were. I did some disguise in her closet. I picked up some alien map I found on the spacecraft, my journal where I always write about my life, and my backpack left on the ship. I grabbed my Merridees into my bag and left the cabin.

The house seemed to be standing on a hill not far away. Outside the balcony, there are doors, some windows, and some statues. There are two chimneys and ladders. The house was painted blue, and the roof was painted red. There were two floors and an attic. I was interested in this place. At least I think so. It doesn't seem so bad. It was built many years ago until someone abandoned it. It was at that time that people entered the house. It was like it was in front of my hut across the road not too far. It was only minutes to walk to the place. It is certainly nice. Sometimes, I found a garden that someone had built.

That was when I heard the shooting. A blue light shines across the upper floor. I gasped in astonishment. What was going on there? With no clue, I jumped into the house and landed on the roof of the house. I was in the immediate vicinity of the first chimney ladder. It was definitely a dangerous family but how? I begin to peek into one of the windows. The living room was empty. I try the other room on the other side. There was no one there. I sat on the roof and thought for a while.

"Is there anyone who can help me?" A voice was heard and it came from the bathroom inside a bit. I felt that there was a boy there. He is probably one of the strangest people in the house. Only one person survived in this house. I think there were five of them. I then heard another voice.
