After They Died (on hiatus)

Awakened

I woke up exhausted, I didn't open my eyes. I just lay in my bed with my blanket pulled up over my head and breathed. I was starving, I wanted something to eat and I needed to pee like hell.

I froze, I heard whispering and footsteps. They were getting loader, they must think I'm asleep - I thought. But who were they? I slept with my bedroom door bolted shut and my window closed when I was sleeping.

The footsteps stopped and I knew there were at least two people standing by my bed. I was frozen, too scared to move as my blanket was slowly pulled back from my face, I kept my eyes closed as they spoke. I heard two male voices, but I didn't recognise the language. It was strange and guttural, one boy asked something and then the other responded. I opened my eyes and screamed.

Two boys stood before me, one staring down at my face in puzzlement and one cowering behind the other. They both wore black uniforms with huge backpacks and thick belts. All sorts of things hung from their belts, things with flashing lights and bright screens. The boy that was staring at me, he had a thing that looked like a minnie TV in his hand and a thing that seemed to be a gun strapped to his belt. The second boy had wires coming out of his backpack and the things that were hanging from his belt were a lot shinier and well looked after and looked a lot more technical. Both boys had completely white hair and completely white eyes with no pupils.

The boys started chatting to each other in that strange language. I didn't know how but I thought that the second boy was scared, he was still hiding behind the first boy he talked in a sharp, scared voice and the other one looked confident but uncertain, I could tell that much from what they were saying.

I practically leapt off my bed to get away from them. I stood bare foot in my sky blue owl pyjamas when I realised something was wrong. Where was my plush carpet? Why was it so dark? And why was I standing where my bedroom wall usually was?

I looked around, bags all hung from the wall with tubes coming from their bottoms and all connected to one main tube that went up the steel cot and... into my arm. I screamed down at my arm and wrenched the tubing from it. A small drop of blood formed where I ripped the drip out but I didn't pay it any attention, I looked back up at the boys. The second one had backed up towards the door and the first was coming closer to me, whispering to me in the strange, alien language. His hands came up and he held them out flat like when you wanted to calm down an animal.

I backed up against the wall and felt the squishy bag behind me and I shivered uncontrollably. I could feel the cloudy liquid sloshing around beneath my back. The first boy was much closer and he addressed me in his language, I nearly started crying it was so strange, I was confused, where was I?

"I-I don't understand." I stuttered. The boy frowned deeply and his white eyebrows came together, he turned to the other boy and they began chatting quickly back and forth between each other. The second boy grabbed something that looked similar to a radio from his belt and began to talk into it and I heard a faint voice reply from the other side.

He put away the radio and said something briefly to the first boy. The boy nodded and took something with no lights on from his belt and pointed it at me. I flinched away from the device as a blue light shone from it and ran up and down along my body.
