Stars Collide

Chapter 3:

I was back in my room pod, my body began to get tired, I knew it was time for me to sleep. I closed my eyes and pulled my blanket over my head. I woke up and rubbed my eyes. My room was pitch black, no light to be seen. A shadowy figure approached me and started chanting "Aliens begone" over and over, I covered my ears and looked back over at the figure. It was holding a dull knife in the air, looking like it was ready to stab me, but something held it back. The shadowy figure left my room and laughed maniacally. This scared me, not only was there a shadowy figure with a knife, but nobody knew the password to my room. I took a hard swallow and tried to fall back to sleep, but I couldn't shake the feeling of someone watching me. Nothing important happened this week, we worked on the robots and finished them. But the day came when I heard an announcement on the loudspeakers, all supernatural creatures gather in the cafeteria! I ran out of my room and went to go find Haley.  She was in her room sipping a latte when I told her about the announcement, "Oh dear! let's go get Darcy!" she yelled. We ran down to Darcy's room and kicked the door open, Darcy was hard at work with the robots, "did it happen yet?" Darcy asked. We both nodded, Darcy picked up these controllers for each of the robots. Only Haley and Darcy were allowed to use them. We all gathered in the cafeteria as Shawn began to speak, "Hello there creatures! Today we are going to be talking about PEOPLE PLOTTING AGAINST ME." Haley and Darcy gasped in fear. He turned over to them and so did all of the other creatures, "It's time for you guys to get what you deserve !" he yelled, opening the spacecraft door, they both flew out of the spacecraft, but i caught them before they made it into space, "save yourself S12!" Darcy yelled, I shook my head. Haley loosened her grip, "I love you S12, please don't die on us," Haley cried, Darcy smiled at me, both of the two drifted off into space, I knew that humans couldn't survive without oxygen, so they were doomed, but I wasn't. I began to cry, I'd never cried before in my life, they were dead. I felt like there was nothing left for me in this world, until I spotted earth. I grabbed the two and drifted towards earth's surface, I haven't ever been on earth before, so this experience was new for me. I flew into the Earth's surface, leaving Darcy and Haley behind, but when I tried to reach out for them, I was already falling. I fell onto the hard earth floor, looking at my surroundings. I was behind a bush. I peeked through the bush, trying to see my surroundings. I stayed put, until I heard footsteps nearby. "Who's hiding in the bush?" I heard a high pitched female voice say, I held my breath, trying not to make a single noise. The girl grabbed me by my hair and pulled me out of the bush, "Why in the world are you so slimy?"she asked, letting go of my arm. She wiped her hands on her ruffled red skirt. When my vision recovered, I noticed I was standing in front of a large building. It had windows running up and down, and a beautiful cream color. "Do you  go to Westville? I dont think I've seen you around." I struggled with my words, "I- uhm. I want to go back up there." I replied, pointing up at the sky. "Cool alien costume, that slime is super realistic. I'm Marnie by the way." the girl said, pulling me off my feet. "You really need to be cleaned up, the chemicals from that gue are in no way good for you. You can come over to my place if you want, then I'll bring you back to your home. Sound good?" I was so confused, "home? I don't know what you mean." I muttered. "Just- come with me, you can explain the rest later." said Marnie, leading me down a path. The walk to her house was painful, the sunrays burned my eyes. I wasn't used to being on earth. While we were walking, Marnie asked me, "What's your name?" I didn't know how to respond, "the scientists call me S12, but I like the name Star." I replied. Marnie just smiled at me and we continued to walk. Marnie had the longest brown  hair I'd ever seen (not like I've seen many people) . It bounced when she walked. We stopped walking when Marnie saw a large brown structure, "this is my home, I'll help get you cleaned up." She said, She pushed the door open and just like that, I had made my first real friend.
